Your maternal ancestors didn't say that ~1945.
First off, how do you know my ancestors weren't nazis?
Second off, it's cute how you Americans still think you and not the whole "War on two fronts"-thing Hitler pulled won the war.
You guys do realize that without the Eastern front and The Germans throwing away most of their airforce on The battle of Britain, chances are that The Nazis would have kicked everyone's ass, right?
Great idea!
I'm quite certain the Native Americans would love to have their country back and see all the descendants of those assholes who slaughtered their people and took their land deported. I wouldn't hold my breath on that readmission line moving too fast, though.
Problem with that is: We Europeans don't want all those Americans coming over here.
Huh...
They invented the rat thing.
Though admittedly a huge, noisy, much slower and significantly less radioactive rat thing.
Still though...
Not everyone who gets addicted to opiates start out with the needle or choosing they want to take the drug for fun. There are people who get prescribed opiate based painkillers, get hooked while in treatment, then continue using after the prescription runs out. They then have to source their opiates from a street dealer who might at one point offer heroin as an alternative to oxy-whatever.
Exactly what effect do mass protests even have?
"Mass" has a whole different meaning when you're talking about china, there's a lot of chinese people.
BIOS password would still improve security. It would take more time for the attacker to open the case, find the location of the reset pins and then reset the CMOS settings and close the case. If the attacker is only after the low-hanging fruit, he might not bother to even do open the machine and go away. Or maybe the attacker does not even know that you could reset the p/w by shorting out a couple of pins.
So, even if some security feature isn't perfect, it might add some extra obstacles to the attacker, which is a still good thing.
You don't really need to find the CMOS reset jumper, just yank the battery from the mobo and the thing will reset as well. Sure, the computer will throw up a warning next time you boot it, but many computers will do that too if you reset the BIOS via the switch.
You kind of hit on it, but altitude has little-to-nothing to do with it (except if it's high enough, you will never hear it).
it.
But it kind of does, remember that the speed of sound (depending on temperature, pressure and moisture in the air, of course) is about 340.29 m/s, so if the plane is, let's say, 680.58 meters up in the air, the sound will take 2 seconds to reach you, now if the plane is moving, let's say, 300 m/s it'll have passed you before the sound actually makes it to you, despite not actually being supersonic.
In some cases if a plane is high enough and fast enough, the sound from it wont have time to travel that far ahead of it and thus it and the sound of it arrive pretty close together.
I've seen it with fighter jets, it's completely silent, then just as the thing passes over or near you you get that awesome engine sound. Not a sonic boom, mind you, but still loud as fuck if they're low enough.
And what has it been doing for the last 20 years? then again i didnt RTFA
F-117, B-2, remote sensing gear for arms control/inspection, The Predator and global hawk drones, NERVA Rockets and probably those fancy stealth modified Black Hawks from Neptune Spear and comms and radar gear.
Just your average run-of-the-mill secret aerospace stuff.
If they don't... what's cheaper than Windows 8?
A pirated version of Win8?
Well yeah, but these aren't weapons.
As you can see their very few terroristic attacks to Russia or china.
First of all: "there're" not "their"
Secondly: Just 'cause you don't hear about them doesn't mean there there aren't any of those happening. Try looking up the Dubrovka Theater, tell me there isn't terror in Russia.
Thing is Russia and China just like to hush up stuff like this, makes it much easier to respond with insane force.
Well, we did save you from being German, maybe next time we'll sit that one out?
Nah, Soviets did that.
what the hell...
At a shed , one being for the tractor the other for the plant. Having two chemical substance which when mixed can cause explosion and a few electronic part means *nothing* without a context. The question is : do the authority exagerate the context to make a case, or was it a real plan from a disturbed teenager, or was it a disturbed teenager which would never have gone further but now whatever MAY happen will be forever marked as that "insane guy which wanted to explode a school" ? Wihout further info none of us are able to say. But I am willing to bet there will be a media circus.
My hypothesis:
School calls the cops, school sounds like they're shitting their pants out of far. Cops roll heavily on the school, arrest the kid. Soon realize that the school over reacted like crazy. Rather than admit they were wrong and lose face, they apply creative interpretations of innocuous objects and come out of it looking like heroes.
