This was the plot of a Golgo 13 episode. Walk into a stadium with a 'toy' pistol robust enough to fire a single shot, then attach it to a large balloon to get rid of the evidence.

My suspicion is the drones designers wrote in a fallback to allow use of C/A if it somehow lost P(Y). I'm sure somebody though this was a wonderful idea and failed to think through exactly why this was stupid. Or maybe it initially used C/A until they were given the key necessary for P(Y), but never got around to commenting out the fallback section of the code. The rest of the attack is obvious: use a high power (relative to a signal from a satellite) jammer, a higher power spoofing signal, and guide the drone to wherever you want it to be while telling it that it is flying back to base.

The ever-reliable (and highly cryptic) CBOAT hints that the 'self published' code will be limited to the 'Windows 8 app store' mode, along with the 3gb of memory set aside for the Win8 mode.

Taking bets now on whether 'registering with Microsoft' to turn your console into a devkit entails regular (or continuous) sign-ins when running unsigned code. Couldn't let people run what they wanted on consumer devices without some way to limit it, because piracy might somehow spontaneously occur!

Other way around. It won't be much good for locally stored media (without the likely rapid proliferation of workarounds and possibly modified firmwares), but it is aimed squarely at The Youtubes and similar streaming services.

This is almost endemic among Nobel winners. E.g. Josephson: pioneer in the field of superconductivity, but thinks Homeopathy is real.

If you can't do that, then the issue is with your software, not the format. Being able to flick back between two (or more) bookmarked positions instantly is one of the really useful features of ebooks. One example I use almost every day is in laptop disassembly manuals: to get to one part (say, the HSF assembly) there are certain other parts that need to be removed in order. The location for that specific part will have a section listing links to the parts that need to be removed to access that part. Clicking one of these links, stepping through that sub-process, then hitting the 'return to last position' shortcut is far faster than flicking through a printed manual.

From TFA:

Yes, the deadliest coast in the world. 16 attacks (not all fatal) in... a decade. And how many millions swim off the coast every year? Even if you take Australia as a whole, on average the number of people killed by sharks per year is: one
If you want to avoid being attacked by a shark, I'd like to sell you this tiger^h^h^h^h^h shark repelling rock. It's much cheaper than a brand new wetsuit, and statistically equally as effective!

I have the opposite issue: My current firefox session has over 360 open tabs (a bad habit of using them in leiu of bookmarks), but uses less than 1gb of RAM, of which I have 16gb available.

I prefer the no-DRM system: I pay £1 for a song, and I can download it on anything that can handle http, and play it on anything that can handle a standard audio format. I can convert it to anything that can't. I can play it on as many devices as I want simultaneously. I can play it whenever and wherever I want. I can filter it, EQ it, upmix it, downmix it, or chop it into samples and annoy people with it on a keyboard as a soundfont. I can upload it, download it, back it up ad infinitum (online and offline), and it doesn't matter if the company that sold it to me goes bust. And if they're still in business, they can offer me a pittance of bandwidth for free and let me re-download in order to get me to return to their store and maybe buy another track.

Unfortunately, you're one someone-else's-poor-business-decision from adding one more "no more" to your list: "no more music".

There is a strange obsession among many that the only good RAM is empty RAM. Don;t shunt stuff out of memory until you need to, and it'll still be in memory next time you need it. Unless you want to page everything (rather than saving the important parts on sleep and assuming whatever is left in RAM might not be there again at wake but probably will), then there's no reason to turf anything out of RAM until you need that space for something else.

Here's the GCHQ risk analysis:

RISK: Cyber attack on Olympic Ceremony lighting system
MITIGATION: Do not connect Olypmic Ceremony lighting system to internet

Or even the Atrix. Much maligned due to Motorola dropping support for it like a hot potato, it was really nice to have the lock button and fingerprint canner combined so you could unlock the phone in one hand without weird thumb contortions.

So, they're based on how many people want to buy these companies products/services, and for what price? Because Bitcoin's price is determined by how many people want to buy Bitcoins, and for what price. Bitcoin also has an additional inherent service value in easy and cheap international transactions.
