Just remember to compile and compact those access files...twice a day.

I'll just make this one little change here...it won't affect anything.

Riddle me this: Has the TSA ever done anything to actually make anything more secure? I've never seen an example of the TSA catch any attempt. I've heard of passengers catching people who made it through TSA screening. I've seen people carry pocket knives on aircraft after going through that retarded microwave scanner. I've heard of Air Marshals stoping people.

Not once have I heard of the TSA doing anything useful.

On the other hand, the terrorists pretty much did exactly what they said they were going to do, make our lives more difficult and made people feel less secure. Of course they didn't make people feel less secure, the TSA makes us feel less secure.

Israel doesn't do the silly bullshit that the TSA does, yet they catch more people trying to blow them up and actually have a daily threat from their next door neighbors. Of course they also care more about being effective than security theatre to make certain friends of politicians rich or bullshit faux political correctness. They do intelligent profiling, and no that doesn't just mean go after the guys with brown skin, for obvious reasons.

If I can get enough explosive or poison into an iPhone to be effective, making the screen light up isn't going to be that difficult. A laptop? Give me a break, trivial to fake.

...could just be most singers are mumbling and the damned music is too loud.

Now, excuse me while I look for my fucking hearing aids.

No it isn't. Having a camera is perfectly legal and has been for years. FPV is perfectly legal as well, as long as the pilot isn't flying by it.

You have to keep your eyes on the aircraft as the pilot for it to be legal in the US. It also has to be below 400 feet and you can't accept any money or any other form of barter for doing so.

The commercial vs non-commercial part of the rules is there to allow hobbyists to do it and prevent any incentive for massive numbers of people to just start trying to fly for profit creating dangerous situations due to the number of people and their shear ignorance, which generally accompanies people and companies trying to take advantage of a new and unregulated technology.

Vaporizing in the beam off the surface is different than on the surface.

The process occurring on the surface creates are larger pot mark on the surface, so the surface is no longer 'flawless', which then cascades from there.

There is no way the thing would survive long with sea spray on it. What happens in a lab is not what happens in combat on the open ocean.

They have to have some mechanism to protect the optics on the device itself, even if that is as others have suggested by putting it in a tube that expels air in such a way to ensure no contaminates may enter. That and the beam itself contains some force to expel things from the surface.

No mirror exposed to the open ocean will be clean enough to not explode fairly quickly when a 30kw laser beam hits it.

Honestly, I'm surprised the laser itself doesn't have issues with its own optics in that sort of environment. One tiny spec of dust on the lens would be disastrous.

How about you get fucked. You just don't want to pay for content. Cry me a river.

Lets put common sense on it. Anyone with half a clue, especially a smoker realizes when they get up in the morning after smoking for any period of time that its not good for you. You have to be an idiot to not understand what it does to you, and you are a complete moron if you believe what some company selling you a product says. You can potentially ignore that it causes cancer out of ignorance, but cancer is really not the biggest problem with smoking from a health perspective.

Yes, they made it intentionally more addictive, but it didn't kill me when I stopped, did it? They did nothing (and haven't been legally allowed to for 30 years at least) to entice me into smoking my first one.

I maintain that there is personal responsibility involved in the decision to smoke. I'm sorry you can't cope with reality, but there it is. Are you so fucking retarded that you think there are companies that don't lie and spin things daily to get you to buy their products? If so, that just makes you an idiot, not me.

stop outsourcing your dirty laundry if you don't want anyone to see your tread marks in your tighty whities.

You gave up your privacy when you put your data on someone else servers. I'm not saying it should be legal for the government to claim it in any shape or form, domestic or foreign, but when you put your data on someone else servers you already gave up your security.

As soon as you said Accenture, every single bit of credibility vanished.

I'm fairly certain that they didn't actually light the cig for me, nor did they put it in my mouth or anything else.

I started smoking of my own free will, and likewise, I stopped.

They've done plenty of scummy things along the way, but pretending they are the sole responsible party just makes you look stupid and unwilling to take responsibility for your own actions. Man up.

Clearly, you've never worked on a major software release.

kernel != operating system

A kernel is an important portion of the operating system, but it is not the entire operating system.

And the code shared between OS X and iOS is roughly the same as the code shared between OS X and FreeBSD. Are they the same OS because they share header files and some portion of code?

I disagree. I certainly want this.

I want my phone to have a Thunderbolt port on it for docking. I want to carry it with me all the time, and when I get to certain places like my desk at work or my desk at home, I want to plug in the thunderbolt cable and have my desktop with me right then and there.

I want my phone to function just like my iPhone when its not connected to a keyboard and mouse.

I want my phone to function just like OS X when using a keyboard, mouse/trackpad, standard sized monitor instead of the phone form factor.

I want it to switch seamlessly between the two.

I want developers to make apps that can do the transition seamlessly.

I want to be able to carry one device in my pocket that serves as my desktop and as my phone, and in the mean time, I'll accept some trade offs to do so, such as running Linux for my phone/desktop if they beat OS X to the punch.

No, seriously, YOU DON'T GET IT. People whining when something changes is why Linux has no adoption on the desktop. Your crappy ways of computing are not the ways that everyone else wants to do it. Just because you pull up a page thats gathers its states by looking at the viewers of the page ... which are all a bunch of curmudgeons trying to prove they're old school is the best school doesn't mean it represents the general user base.

You want to be stuck in the past with an inflexible UI, fine, stop upgrading your software. When you decide to accept that software has a whole lot of growth before it stabilizes, then you can join the rest of us in using newer software.

The solution for you is simple, don't upgrade. Stop dragging everyone else down because you can't cope with progress.
