Are you kidding? The plane could easily have been ditched in the sea, the passengers and cargo transferred to a waiting ship and then scuttled and sent to the bottom in one piece leaving no floating wreckage. Use your imagination.

Someone who can produce antibiotics would be absolutely amazingly valuable. Assuming that the fall of civilisation wasn't due to the evolution of broad band antibiotic resistance.

Its not hard to do; on the documentary 'Sliders' one guy made an antibiotic just out of mouldy bread and saved a civilisation.

But yeah, antibiotics is what makes modern civilisation possible, enhances population growth rate, increases productivity etc etc etc and without them we would be fucked.

You can bet that someone is currently working on something like a pseudo-narcotic and that they and/or someone else is working on malware based on a pseudo-narcotic.

I doubt it'll be connected to the Sumerian language though.

'Gas' pedal?

It hasn't even really got going yet.

War as a dick-waving contest between nation states is largely over. Its going to get a lot more personal and a lot more involved in the lives of civilians.

The pilot is not your target. Attack soft targets that are sensitive to them. Attack targets which will cause morale problems for the populations around them.

If you are going to play the dirty 'war by remote control' game expect your enemy to play the dirty 'kill your friends and family' game. Kill their friends, their relatives. Kill people who owe them money, kill people they owe money to. Kill anyone who does business with them. etc.

Which makes it all the more important to bring the war to the civilian population of the enemy. Target the drone jockeys family's, friends, shopping malls etc.

Do not underestimate the lying skills of children!

At 10 years old I realised that if I wanted to lie to my mum the best way was to first offer an obvious lie which she would detect and demand 'the truth'. I'd then, unwillingly, offer a more plausible lie. She'd accept the more plausible lie as the truth; she felt like she'd won a victory over me, that she was so much smarter than me and that I was obviously ashamed at having been caught and had admitted the truth.

Right. I eat some food in the store. I go to the stores toilets and poop. The food has not left the store but I've moved it, exercised control over it in a way that is inconsistent with the shop owners reasonable expectations. Makes perfect sense.

If I'm shopping and I put some product in my basket then, in while in a different area of the shop, I decide I don't really want this ice cream after all, and I pop it behind some cans of beans I *guess* this is the same kind of thing in principle but shoplifting as such? Not so sure.

The analysis in the PDF suggests that the majority of passwords used in this were not weak.

They can always use a browser that doesn't respect the SSL cert pushed out by group policy, like Firefox...

(Apache) AH64D, millimeter wave radar, radar hellfires and preferential fire zones. Ouch. Each missile is like a little robot. Drag a rubberband around clusters of targets on the display, unleash several missiles, each missile finds a target and boom, next missile, next target. That was so cool.

('Janes Longbow' was a way cool game yay)

I always wondered why my mechs didn't have these missiles :( (in the Mech warrior games).

In Soviet Russia robot tanks you!

isn't that the entire purpose of the legal industry?

Well at least there will be one muslim-free planet...
