Well, imagine somebody having epilepsy while driving. Or seeing some green devils and killing a pedestrian while avoiding such devils. Or hearing voices of $DEITY that order the pedestrians to be killed.
Alcoholism is F10 and is banned.

Quotes from ICD-10 itself:
Fetish objects vary in their importance to the individual. In some cases they simply serve to enhance sexual excitement achieved in ordinary ways (e.g. having the partner wear a particular garment).
Sexual orientation by itself is not to be regarded as a disorder.
In other words: If you are GAY you may drive. But if you are excited when your wife wears high heels then you are disqualified.

To me, nothing seems to prevent life from starting as large as galaxy-sized
For evolution, beings should multiply. Earthly microbes need from 15 minutes to 24 hours to double their ranks. And it took 3.8e9 years and at least 3.8e9*365 divisions to produce a sentient being. If something galaxy-sized can multiply then it needs at least the time the light travels along it (Really, much more time). It means that something 1000-ly in diameter can procreate not more than 13.8e6 times from the Big Bang. There is quite a difference between 3.8e9*365 and 13.8e6.
(I don't discuss the fate and visibility of 2**13.8e6 galaxy-sized beings that were born and died in the process).
I looked at GSM modules on Ebay. They are small enough to fit in a watch and they have all the needed features in their only firmware. They only need a battery, mike, speaker and something that would give them AT-commands to connect. And they are cheap enough.
Triangulation device with good resolution is by necessity much bigger than the wavelength since it uses directional antennas. And it requires you to rotate it (See the "Fox Hunt"). The trilateration device would be nicer but it works in well synchronized packs only and doesn't seem to be produced easily. And you need a stationary system that stores the history in order to suspect a new base.
There are some interesting chips, i mean Silicon Laboratories EzRadioPro Si4464 and the similar ones. They receive a GMSK and I think it's possible to tune them to 900-MHz GSM band. Unfortunately I have no idea about 1800 MHz bands. The specialized GSM modules look more interesting and require less work.
Some time ago I have worked with a cellular modem. The cellular modem has lots of AT commands including the ones that show the actual frequency, base IDs, power and all this stuff. I also have looked at cellular modules for Arduino, and they have such commands too. I've seen no cellphones that have such functions (I don't count smartphones since nobody knows what kind of malware are there).
In every location there is a fixed set of visible bases. There may be some bases visible intermittently but such bases would have a low power level (Stingrays have a high power level by definition). And this is the one of lots of methods of stingray detection.
What does it mean? That it's possible to assemble the Arduino or PIC with such module and make a simple cellphone with Stingray detector and everything else you like (including the scrambler). Since you need a programmer to load a program such device would be absolutely immune to malware, too.
4 years ago I bought a HP laptop with AMD Vision. I believed it will work OK under FreeBSD since I had some good previous experience with both AMD processors and ATI video. I was wrong. AMD Vision was not fully supported; AMD Vision needs KMS which was not implemented in FreeBSD that time; and AMD Vision uses 2 graphic chips and unused one cannot be idled by any means. FreeBSD bug report didn't help. HP support plainly refused to talk about anything except Windows (Including their own bios).
So I use Lenovo laptops now, and HP is used as server and is hot as hell.
Except rutracker.org other torrent sites are imho bigger eyesore. And rutracker is less eyesore only because I look there in search of specific files only.
USA tries to force people out of their culture because almost all that USA exports is "culture", because...
I feel the problem is much deeper. The exported USA culture converts people to culturally Americans. And the exported USA economic education converts people to economically Americans. After this, it's necessary for Pentagon to occupy these countries since their people belong to USA culture and behave economically as loyal American people living in a barbaric country.
While the mafiaa makes this process profitable the torrent system just does the same.
And the last: while Marx's Capital is a scientific approximation of a real XIX-century capitalism both Leninism and Economics are not sciences but ideologies, i mean teachings about how the people SHOULD behave. While Leninism R.I.P. Economics lives. And it converts people's economical behavior as it's authors want.
I think that the problem is not the choice of language but the presence of something that can be expressed with it. Persian language, for instance, is known to be the language of classical poetry, but if you think that you should study Persian to become a classical poet, you are clearly wrong.
I am not a programmer, I am a scientist. I use some microprocessor and I program it with old good assembly language. I know what to express with this assembly. There are complex amplitudes, Fourier transforms, rotation of coordinate axes, PID regulators and other craziness. As a result, a diy 8-bit PIC18 device that costs about US$40 in parts gave the same 16 decimal digits of precision as a US$40'000 box made by famous German company. Really. I live in Russia and nobody will be able to pay me more than US$1000, but at least nobody will ever think about firing me.
No knowledge of programming language will ever give the same results. Here are some professional programmers who write the professional programs which sometimes work after multiple kicks but they look so professional, with buttons, graphs, widgets and all that stuff.
And the necessary Soviet joke:
Q: Why is the Soviet food program named "complex"?
A: Complex things consist of real and imaginary parts.
The fleet of solar powered drones is at least controllable. Which does mean that the drone would actively keep it's position and have no need to be retrieved in some inhospitable terrain with "STOY! STRELYAYUT!" signs after descent.
If so, the only difference is that instead of non-renewable Helium they spend non-renewable natural gas.
And they also spend non-renewable energy and minerals to produce the energy sources, be it PV cells or Li-Ion batteries, and the radio itself.
The towers strategically located on the ground would do the same without any need to seed the globe with balloons.
Thank you. Please keep listening to Jen Psaki. You will know, for instance, about sea borders of Byelorussia or mountain resorts of Rostov oblast.
