Manufacturing process has bearing on firmware is flashed to an EEPROM.

SSDs do not optimize for small frequent writes as a) the blocks a strictly limited number leveltimes, fancy wear levelling algorithms must calculate where actually put each write. b) to write a block already containing data a slow erase operation has to happen first and all data in that block gets erased. what SSDs do optimise for is lots of reads. Finally most other manufactures already included in their laptops for the, Apple was quite late to that party.

The open source firmware does not run on the WRT1900ac yet as there are issues in the wireless drivers.

To the questioner though, I recomend 802.11ac over 802.11n. Myself I'm using ASUS RT-68Us for my network, good hardware and the stock firmware is actually pretty good but they support openwrt tomato and dd-wrt too. There is also a NETGEAR box it that that has better hardware and supports the open source firmware but apparently the stock firmware is pretty bad. However compared to WRT54-GLs these routers are about twice the price.

Just because one does not vote it as mathematics didn't mean it's not mathematics. Only education can fix this, and this education is currently sorely lacking.

Are you going to argue that recursion and iteration is not mathematics? Yes you may not understand everything in the branch of mathematics that you are applying, but one is still applying it, that doesn't make it sent less mathematics.

Formal logic is a branch of mathematics. It's part of a branch that is called decision and discrete mathematics. Programmers specialise in the application of that branch, just as staticians specialise in statistics and probability.

Programming is mathematics, it is the application of decision and discrete mathematics. Not all mathematics is infinitesimal calculus (there are different kinds of calculus), algebra or geometry.

If we are telling about the same incident involving a NYPD helicopter as I think we are, I believe the NYPD is being asked some serious questions over their involvement, seems to me both sides were likely breaking the law. I believe all the regulations state that one should not endanger other air traffic, which means both sides should give way, similar rules exist for boats where all craft must do what they can to avoid an incident.

As for the Phantom 2 flying near airfeilds, it carries onboard a database of airfields coordinates and used this to enforce strict limits on altitude around those coordinates (including a no fly zones altogether). This is actually an issue I'm the UK were you can get a commercial licence to operate unmanned aircraft and it's registered to a specific aircraft with proficiency test on operation of that aircraft being done at an airfield.

Aapparently we are just over a decade behind the US where a hacker could "start a nuclear war by whistling into a pay phone".

'Ye cannae change the laws o' physics'

Classical information is still limited by the speed of light. Quantum teleportation can not be used for traditional communications.

Partly though thermovoltaic cells do exist.

1) PNG8 can support full alpha transparency.
2) PNG is better with fewer colours And blocks of one shade, as it compresses by merging close shades. JPEG is better to compress With lots of different colours like photos as it merges neighbouring pixels.

It runs in and channel as the homeowners meeting SSID. At least BT ones in the uk do.

For the sake of security then we shouldn't be allowing the browser to run any remotely fetched code, whether it is high level or low level is irrelevant. Fundamentally it is a form of remote code execution fire both JavaScript and c/c++. If you are going to allow it, the chrome team has come up with a good method to make it as secure as possible running all such code in a managed sandbox environment with extremely limited APIs.

You forgot my favourites, national security and in the national interest. Whatever they mean!

As already pointed out, The west German government was upto their necks in supporting this during the cold war, they know how it worked and were willing partners. Not to mention, under the UKUSA Securty Agreement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UKUSA_Agreement, Europe and European Russia are under the UK's responsibility to spy on, the least they could have done is fly over the right consulate.
