Everyone knows that real pros use the _strrev function...

That's the day I predict that a lot of things are going to start being sold in oranges, tomatoes and chickens.

I think that soon every note I come across will be exposed to a generous amount of static electricity from my taser before I use it or take it anywhere...

You're missing the point. The apple watch has to be recharged every few days. A normal quartz watch can go 5 years or more on a battery.

And when the battery runs out?

As in, this is exactly what the lake exists for. A reservoir of sorts for slurry and other runoff from industrial processes is common the WORLD OVER.

The DHS, which has never caught a "terrorist" ever. At least before the fact. When passengers caught one after the fact (the "underwear bomber") and handed him over to the DHS, they claimed that "the system worked". It used to be that apologists could claim that there had been no terrorist attacks on the US since 9-11 and use that to support an argument that the DHS was a good thing. Well it's 2015, and there have been a few successful attacks now...

They do it because they can. It's as simple as that.

You're not even trying.

Called Project Spartan because it comes with 300 security holes built in?

Right. And exactly how is WhatsApp supposed to monetize you and data-mine you if your messages are encrypted? I'm of the opinion that this is a marketing gimmick with Whatsapp sitting as the man in the middle.

That's the nice thing about lists. The government says you're on it, and that's that. No proof required. No means to defend yourself or prove your innocence. Nope, you're on the list, and now we're going to bully everyone and cut you out of all the conveniences of modern life. Those who don't co-operate, well, you wouldn't want to be "aiding a terrorist" now would you?

The "free" world has gone insane, and I despair when I see a whole new generation growing up that doesn't seem to have a problem at all with this modus operandi.

It's 2015. We are surrounded with selfish bastards. I wouldn't be surprised if after investigating the wreck the copilot was taking selfies right before the crash.

Producing the alarm sound when the autopilot is turned off, which would have been heard on the recording.

Agreed. The problem is how do you prevent someone unauthorized from getting hold of this "foolproof" entry method into the cockpit by any number of means, including the low tech solution...
