Well I appreciate the replies. I think you're less crazy now, but I still think you're dancing with the devil by considering stalking individuals and spreading the info. Notice that when Manning's material gets leaked, they take care to not expose individuals. He's in enough trouble as it is.

I was and am aware that it's on behalf of foreign enemies. Once you start putting information out on untouchable foreign servers, it doesn't take a great leap to decide that's in fact who you're assisting. And it's not like you'd be exposing information that's in the interests of citizens, you're simply playing tit for tat by gathering intel on employees. You'd easily be considered a spy, and citizenship protects you from that no more than it does from a common crime charge.
You would be screwed so fast, and I'm not sure anyone would support your cause. It really seems like a harebrained scheme to me, on par with demanding to take your weapons into NSA buildings. If you do find anyone crazy enough to do this with you, I suggest at least having a long hard think about it and doing a lot of research on every aspect, rather than jumping in head first while waving the flag around.

Great idea. I'm sure this would not fall under espionage laws.

My enemy's enemy is my friend.
Right now he's just trying to survive, so really, no, it's not bizarre.

I push one button on the drop down menu of my phone to set up a wifi hotspot for my tablet.

I think it serves a purpose: I have found out that many nerds (going by the slashdot motto) have no idea about physics and should be ashamed. All these idiots "cheating" the app using methods that don't result in free fall, which is obviously the only way this app could do the measurement.

They can't measure the throw acceleration because most phone accelerometers top out at 2 G. Check the datasheets, or just wave your phone around wildly with an acceleration graph running.

No, see my post below. That condition does not result in ~0 G.

Time for you and two levels up to go back to school. Acceleration under a balloon will be ~1 G. Acceleration while being spun around will be > 1 G. Acceleration during the ascent and fall will be ~0 G. Acceleration during the throw will be > 2 G, which is what most phone accelerometers top out out, leading me to believe that the app goes by low G duration rather than throw velocity.

Apparently you're the dick with no clue whatsoever.
It's similar in size to the next British carrier class which has been sized for 36 JSFs.
Sorry your shitty segue onto a pet topic didn't work out.

Did you really just miss the significance of "overflow" and posted a serious reply?

Please tell me you're trolling.
I can fire up kismet on my laptop and straight away see what MAC addresses are connecting to your SSID (regardless of whether it's broadcast). It's that easy. I've never bothered trying to spoof a MAC and breaking a wifi key, but getting the SSID and MAC address is trivial.
Guessing MAC addresses by model of laptop, SNORT!

I don't know if FSX is flexible enough to support a cockpit like that. It could also be X-Plane or Flightgear; both available on Windows.

You do realise that there's a big difference between simulating the sensations vs the motions of the aircraft? The motion platform does not roll with the plane because in a coordinated turn there is no sideways acceleration in the pilot's coordinate frame, just a small increase in "gravity". The smooth way airliners are flown, the only axis that is of much use is the pitch.

I suspect that "major" might actually mean small manufacturers of GA aircraft in his vicinity which don't have their own simulators. The software on this simulator is probably much more flexible than a professional simulator, allowing you to fly anything albeit with an inaccurate cockpit.
