Says the tiny tiny little boy hiding behind his keyboard...

They didn't destroy anything you sniveling coward, he was left with parts, not destroyed parts.

The Douaniers took active hostility for what it was: The sign of someone that may have been smuggling drugs or other controlled substances & thus deserved an extremely detailed validation. The idiot's continued aggressiveness when faced with just authority was just another sign that he needed to be looked into.

Professionalism as far as a Douanier concerned is behaving politely while preforming their mission (finding drugs & other controlled substances). The Douaniers were the acme of professionalism.

I know someone with a similar attitude to authority who insulted the french custom officials who had performed a random traffic stop looking for drugs as he was coming back from a weekend in Amsterdam. The douaniers called in a few colleagues and pretty much dismantled the car, leaving him with a bunch of parts. The Douanes is under no obligation to render your vehicle in working order.

I feel no sympathy for the idiot...

It's only suggestive of anything if you believe that your non-representative sample belies your words & is representative.

Suppliers of mine make VM versions of their appliances (people like Checkpoint, Juniper, F5, Radware, etc). Chasing down bugs (hmm, why doesn't the network interface work on that VM, why won't his one boot, etc) when attempting to deploy these images using virtualbox when they all "just work" using a $100 VMware license is an extremely bad use of my time.

Naaah the real reason most people continued to watch it was Catherine Schell, even with the weird eyebrows they gave her...

The NSA give you the willies but that of all the others makes you feel warm and cuddly? How exactly is the data gathering performed by the GCHQ, the DGSE, the BND, etc, any different than that done by the NSA?

No, we have all our national equivalents like the GCHQ, the DGSE, the BND, etc, all doing the same data gathering while busily pointing the finger at the NSA as the one who cut the cheese...

TFA makes it clear that this is NOT just for Washington DC & not just for hobbyists

The FAA has a list of flight restricted zones where all aircraft are restricted unless explicitly authorized. Phantom already partially respected these regulations but are just tightening up a number of omitted areas.

Correction: I get close to 50% better battery life. When searching for "mac linux battery duration" the first linksays: "The only two things I *really* loved in OSX were:
* longer battery life
* very fast and efficient suspend/resume".

The second link says: "720p - Mac OS X ...
Result on 720p playback: +1h57 or +42% battery life."

The third link says: "To date the best estimated battery life value I have seen under Linux is 5 hours (I have not run an actual timed test yet) as compared to 7.5 in Mac OS"

Just one web search, three results all saying the same thing I have tested & seen for myself. OS X is much better than Linux. Shut yer trap linux bigot.

Listen you illiterate twit, I HAVE proven that Linux is less energy efficient than OS X by booting Linux on a Mac & testing how long it lasts. I get almost twice the battery life - just like every one else does.
You, blinded by your prejudice refuse to perform the test (presumably because you'd need to touch a Mac & contaminate yourself) and are unable to comprehend ARS' article which clearly shows the work that Apple has performed on OS X that no other OS has.
As you clearly filter out all information that contrary to your dialectic, and keep posting unsupported out & out lies, we're done here.

Hey troll boy, learn how to read. The graphs explain precisely and exactly what I repeat time & time again to counter your general ignorance & obtuseness: OSX aggregates running tasks into blocks so that the CPUs can be put to sleep (and not just start transitioning only to transition back when an interrupt occurs). Linux has nothing like Grand Central, nor App-Nap, keeps getting interrupted & thus puts the CPUs into low power modes much less often.

I've said so in my first post in this thread, in my second post, in my third post, in my fourth post, ... I've detailed multiple times just how easily testable OS X's advantage over Linux is in battery time is but instead of performing the test yourself, you keep finding excuses.

The 50% added battery time has been tested & proven by everyone that has tried to run Linux on Macs. You say it's just me? Fine, point out even one recent site that has compared OSX & Linux battery duration on typical workloads. The test is trivial. Linux fails it every time. Thus I CAN know that OS X would be 50% more energy efficient than Linus is, because I have tested how Linux compares to OS X.

People talk about the Apple reality distortion field. You have a Linus distortion field that prevents you from parsing simple phrases & understanding simple graphs.

It's only apt to blame Bush if you chose to ignore Obama's mistakes. But of course Obama won the NPP so for people like you, he can do no wrong. Bush's actions had repercussions, but the rise to power of IS is almost purely Obama's responsibility.

Obama, by cutting and running - getting out as fast as he could, surrendered sovereignty to the Al-Maliki Shiite government who promptly declared the heads of the allied Sunni tribes terrorists and refused to integrate the sunni tribal members (as promised) into the national army nor continue to pay them to combat AQ. The allied tribesmen and the troop surge (criticized by Obama as sending more troops into a lost cause) that broke AQ in Iraq. It was Obama's abandonment of the Sunnis that what created the power vacuum that created IS. Had Obama not abandoned the Sunni tribesmen and forced Al-Maliki to respect the promises given to the Sunnis there would be no IS.

Oh sure, Obama is the prince of peace. He won the NPP, closed Guantanamo & left Iraq in a state capable of dealing with IS.

By cutting and running Obama abandoned the partnership with the Sunni tribes that were the main reason violence in Iraq went down to the level it did as Obama took office. In doing so, Obama created the power vacuum that birthed ISIS. But of course some will blame Bush for everything bad in the world.

Has world peace made a major step forward in the years Obama has been President? No. In fact by abandoning Iraq before they were ready Obama fostered the Islamic State which we will be spending the next few presidencies working on.

Obama was indeed handed the NPP for not being Bush but that says more about the NPP's political leanings and how irrelevant the NPP is than anything else.
