Was this before he was kicked out of Apple for running it into the ground, or after he spent years in the wilderness learning how to actually manage a company?

The goal here is obvious: Discover all of the unsecured, or at least poorly-secured, wireless access points around the neighborhood.

Here's what has to be asked...why? Any particular reason for wanting to know this?

Isn't that pretty much like going to all the front doors and checking to see if they are locked?

"I know it is appeal to authority..."

or

"I know its (possessive) appeal to authority..."

The first has a missing word, but is still more accurate than the second since "I know" cannot possess anything.

Science is a process.

  If you execute the process badly, that's "Bad Science".

If you execute the process correctly, or at least as best you can given the known parameters, etc. then you can't call it "Bad Science", even though the results are unexpected and controversial. I would expect that even the most cynical observer would be curious as to what is happening here.

Since his article contained several factual errors related to how the experiment was conducted, it is obvious that he did not even read the full report but just the POS Abstract or even worse, various news accounts.

So actually, HE is the one engaging in Bad Science Reporting.

And the show really isn't that funny.

Penny has nice tits though.

My comment doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.

What business does Google have poking in anyone's emails? Sure, they may find stuff like this that should be reported, but if you say that's OK to do, then you've established the principal and it's slip sliding all the way down the slope. Child Porn today, recall petitions tomorrow.

Replace "Child Porn" with "Subversive Material" and suddenly it doesn't see like such a good thing, does it?

Or, for you folks who like to "share", copyrighted movies, music, etc.

What would be more likely?

1. They tested a quantum vacuum plasma thruster inside a vacuum chamber, which is probably cramped, difficult to run test instruments in, and costs more than a bench top and even closed the door but DIDN'T perform the test in an actual vacuum.

2. The did perform the test in a vacuum, but the abstract simply mischaracterizes what they did because the author of the abstract was some Public Relations flunky.

I expect that the vast majority of people reading that knew they were referring to the elimination of rocket fuel.

Minimum wage isn't designed for you to "live on". It's designed to help teens learn how to show up to work on time, follow directions, interact with superiors and colleagues, handle money, etc. The compensation is for gas money and date money. This is why it mostly applies to stupid, repetitive jobs that most anyone can do.

If you find yourself with kids, a car payment and paying rent and you are in a minimum wage job, you're doing it wrong.

So if a Rocket was heading for your ass, how much would you be willing to pay to have it intercepted?

One report from one professor who had nothing to go on but videos and pictures.

Typical of folks like you to take something like that as Gospel and build policy around it.

80% of the music in my iTunes came from CDs..."ripped" straight from the plastic. I an convert those all to MP3s.

So they should be suing Microsoft and Apple.

By your own timeline, the Palestinians started this.

Also by your own admission, Israel began the raids only after Hamas began shooting rockets (Again) at Israel.

So suck it.

Israel doesn't need to create enemies.

Every Third World, Tinpot, Dictatorship hell hole already hates them because....because it's easier to run their little piece of shit country when the people are focused on outside enemies instead of the fact they are being raped in the ass by their own government.
