Ah, and you just woke up to discover that the USG does not want anyone they think is a terrorist learn just what/how/when they came to this conclusion? Go back to sleep.

Just as you are just a few steps from committing mass murder...

On matters where national security & constitutionality collide, stays are systematically delivered by the appellate courts so again, until every higher court has exhausted appeals, the ruling changes nothing.

The judge's ruling will be challenged & until/unless it wins every appeal (all the way to the supreme court in all probability), the ruling changes nothing.

Sooo, until the ruling is definitively confirmed, nothing changes.

No, it would cost ULA money as their contract states that the launches will be performed on Atlas or Delta but Atlas (with the outsourced russian engines) costs less.

ULA could launch on Delta (reserving the launches that NEED to be on Atlas for that launcher) but ULA would have to eat the difference. Very unpalatable for ULA that...

So, without the numbers I gave you were able to tell that the asteroid was imaged at just over three times the distance the moon you look up to in the sky is? Well, no because you certainly didn't know that because the people who do don't use the distance they have traveled on earth as a reference.

Did the raw number give you enough information to know how far into the earth's gravity well it was? Or even whether it had entered it? Nope, you didn't know that either.

Oh, but 776 times 1000 times 63360 inches, oh THAT has meaning to you...

Giving the 776,000 miles number is of little value for most people. Comparing it to 1 Astronomical Unit (the average distance Earth-Sun = 92,955,807.3 miles) or the distance between the Earth & the moon (238,857 miles) makes it much more understandable.

Given that these infos are informative & not biased, I can see how Timothy didn't think to add them to the summary.

Again Timothy with the biased & false click-bait summary...

Courts do not issue impossible to obey orders. The NSA sifts through massive amounts of data & deletes almost all of it after a period of time. Forcing the NSA to no longer delete the data as the court initially ordered implies the immediate shutdown of the data collection program. While that may be the desired outcome of some here, it is NOT what the judge intended. He intended only to force the NSA to preserve what data it could. When the NSA explained that preserving the scope of data requested data without shutting down the data program or spending hundreds of millions to the judge he rescinded his original order.

Thus Timothy's "Our Systems Are Too Complex To Obey the Law" is false and misleading

Not in my experience. Recent graduates of Sandhurst & St Cyr tend to be young & fit & the ladies I have met would take issue with being called middle aged, let alone overweight or men. Oh, you're referring to the people in your entourage...

Yeah, serving & past armed forces officers are the exception to the military history == fascist mindset here. No argument on the merits of Lee/Sherman, but then my american civil war knowledge is too light to have a valid opinion. Thanks for responding.

Interesting. Which europeans have you met who are interested in Military History?

I'm a minor military history buff living in Paris for close to 30 years & in all that time, excluding a few armed forces members, only a handful of brits were interested in the field. It's true that I live in a country where the press & polar culture are generally left wing anti-military & consider the study of history through a military focus to be akin to studying nazism, but whether they were French, Dutch, Belgian, German, Spanish or Italian, not a single person could tell you more about Sherman than that a tank was named after him or that General Lee had an orange car with a flag on top named after him in a movie.

No assumptions? Yeah, right, you only assume that all browser plugins are as insecure as flash is.

Anyone who makes an assumption that dumb is an idiot -- statement of fact, not a blanket statement

Just because Flash is a plugin & insecure, that doesn't make all plugins insecure. You'd have to be really stupid to make that assumption but you seem dumb enough...

Clearly, both reading comprehension & web security are too complicated for you.

Let me use small words to make it easier for you:
Both Flash plus their flash plugin & a browser plugin need to be installed. A plugin would add no vulnerabilities. Adding Flash to a machine does.

I leave you to your browser with 10 toolbars, unexplained slowdowns & redirects to porn sites.

Too bad you don't understand that the browser cannot run it if flash is not installed as a plugin on the user's browser (which it isn't if the person behind the browser has a clue & doesn't NEED it.
For this to be widely deployed, people would have to care enough to install it, yet clearly that is not the case for over 99% of the people browsing the web. For the remaining people with a clue (aka the security conscious), a browser plugin (akin to Browser Patrol in Firefox) would be amply sufficient.
