and this requires root, which is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. as soon as you root, the entire sandbox runtime model is out the window.
This particular baby is stillborn, so why do you want to hang on to it's corpse? It's much more rational (and much more fun) to make a new one.
The government has much more power to ruin people's lives and oppress its people.
Hah! You've clearly never dealt with Ma Bell.
This has been demonstrated by the hundreds of millions of times that people were abused and/or murdered throughout history by governments.
Oh yeah. This is also why I'm terrified of the people next door - because there are hundreds of millions of people who were abused and/or murdered throughout history by people who aren't in the government.
Also, just because you hand your information to one company, doesn't mean you want to hand it to every single entity on the fucking planet. If you really believe that these organizations have some chance of blackmailing you, then handing the information out to even more people would increase those chances.
No shit, Sherlock! Nobody is disputing that the risk goes up with each new individual involved. I'm just laughing at the stupidity of putting yourself in that position in the first place.
There should be laws against individuals in the phone company prying into information they shouldn't have (i.e. randomly looking at call data), too.
Oh goody, laws will protect me. Just like the laws which prevent NSA agents from prying into information they shouldn't have. Thanks, bro, I feel so much better now!
That article is stupid. Pick any one of their examples:
They know you rang a phone sex service at 2:24 am and spoke for 18 minutes. But they don't know what you talked about.
Oh noes. You mean the way the phone company knows? You mean the way the sex line owner knows. You mean the way the hook
As soon as I make the call there are already two organizations and hundreds of individuals who could use it to blackmail me. And you want me to get upset because now Teh Gubernment knows too?
If you're doing shit you don't want found out, don't do it on open comms while using your own name. This isn't rocket surgery.
They can use this information to harass anyone questions the status quo (like MLK, who was spied on) and find ways to destroy them.
Oh man, this They is very scary! I'm experiencing great amounts of fear, uncertainty, and doubt! Please, sign me up to your newsletter so I can once again feel better about the world!
F-35 has crap combat range and Canada has a large airspace to cover. That seems like a pretty good reason to me.
The F-35 has a significantly greater combat range than our current fighters, so we can pretty much dismiss that argument right away. But combat range is a shit indicator anyway if what you care about is covering our own airspace. What we need is intercept capability, not combat radius. We need to get there quickly, blow the invader away, and head home - possibly meeting an air-to-air refueller along the way. And the F-35 is MUCH better at that because of supercruise.
With the F-18 you either go subsonic in order to have greater range, or you fire up the afterburners to get there fast, but only over short distances or you'll run out of fuel way too soon. With the F-35 that equation becomes much more balanced because you can go supersonic with a much lower fuel cost. You also have the advantage of being able to fire from farther away, but that's a lesser consideration.
Buy drones instead. They are rapidly making aircraft obsolete.
Unfortunately drones aren't quite there yet. This will probably be the last manned fighter purchased by Canada, but we're not quite ready to go drones-only at this point.
That's actually been one of the only really solid objections to this purchase
Sure, and a
I'm curious - how exactly do you imagine this technology could be misused?
Follow someone around? Pretty sure cops already do that
What else is there?
Chris Hadfield is a Canadian. Of course he wants international cooperation, otherwise, how is any non-US or non-Russian governmental astronaut/cosmonaut supposed to hitch a ride up and get a berth in orbit?
You're kidding, right?
At the moment, Canada pays the US to pay the Russians to get us into orbit. In a couple years we'll pay the US to pay SpaceX to get us into orbit, or we'll just pay SpaceX directly, and save a bundle in the process. It doesn't make bit of difference to us whether or not the US and Russia are cooperating.
Hadfield's pro-international-cooperation stance is purely a result of his own values and politics. Though I have a hunch most astronauts would voice similar feelings.
It's also cheaper to buy a book than a normal printer.
Just wait until 4k porn comes out. For anyone who's ever wanted to become a qualified gynecologist from the comfort of his own couch
So we just kill anybody who might, someday, be a potential threat? And don't worry about collateral damage either?
Nope - we kill those who ARE a threat; we just don't wait until they're such a huge threat that it takes millions of lives to defeat them.
Even our allies we snort that we are getting what we deserve.
No, a subset of the people who live in nations which are your allies and buy into the same "fuck america" bullshit that you do snort that you are getting what you deserve. Imagine that; ideologically identical people thinking the same way. Your actual allies, on the other hand, are generally on board with your policies. You make some dumb mistakes, of course, but no more than any other nation, and far fewer than most.
This not like WW2 where we had soldiers fighting soldiers. We are not fighting a nation that can ever negotiate any kind of peace.
Ah, so you think because we can never negotiate a peace, we shouldn't bother fighting. Interesting logic. I wonder what the 200 missing girls in Uganada would say about that reasoning.
I suppose by the same logic
The more the US involves itself in mid-east affairs, the more they are motivated to attack the US. Nobody flew airplanes into building in Switzerland.
Totally. Everyone should just sit back and let the evil people do what they're going to do. Nobody ever got hurt while watching a rape, but if you try to intervene
They also had the DC-10 listed. A Plane that flew for 44 years and had it's last flight months ago.
Yeah, I'm sure the list included several poor choices - the Comet was just the one that stuck out the most, for me. I know the DC-10 was successful and long-lived; I don't know much about it otherwise.
They include the DeHaviland Comet - a fantastic aircraft which set the standard in the airliner industry for decades to come. It did suffer from a design flaw which caused several crashes, but those crashes helped us learn a lot more about metal fatigue and the structural integrity of aircraft, and lead directly to improved safety in later designs. It was also fixed as soon as it was identified. Suggesting that the Comet was one of "the worst planes" - or that it should have never have flown - is just plane ignorant.
The brain runs without compiling, and re-writes its own source code and hardware while under use.
So it's a PHP script?
Any program which runs right is obsolete.
