With several gouvernment agencies currently ignoring constitutional rights, specific warrents effecting specifically named persons, issued and overseen by judges, are NOT the biggest threat to privacy.
Used to have that too. Strange thing was, the PST file only held a few hundered Emails.
At one point Outlook wil probably block the PC for a few hours and do a 6,9GB garbage collection.
That's exactly the same line of thinking that was (obviously!) ready to be spoofed decases ago!
Adding a "human touch" to something that should be easy as opening a door or using an elevator was what led the Sirius Cybernetics cooperation to develop Genuine people personalities.
That's why the removed the automated baggage drop of counters again from the largest airport over here.
Because they're still listed as "free" categorically speaking?
Well... "free" as in you don't have to pay money to play.
But as this holds true for "pay if you like the game and get a free party hat", the "come on, the first shot is free" and the unplayble Nag-A-Thon that starts begging for your money right from the beginning, I doubt that there will be a one size fits all solution.
Yes.. as if alternative launchers for iOS were free.. Wait a moment: alternative laucnerhs for iOS? Oh.. sorry....
intrinsic value vs. depending on a system to tell value from useless paper is a terrible deal.
There is no such thing as "intrinsic value".
There is. But it is usually limited to things as potatoes. There is no intrinsic value in gold as many people are misguided to believe.
if you're considering a large death toll as a terrorist goal, then you're wrong. Terror is the goal, and having people killed are only the means.
There are schools much cheaper than the Ivy Leagues with an equivalent education and that's where I'd expect smart kids to go.
At Ivy League, you're not paying for the education. You're paying for networking. And for making an impression at HR types who don't care about education, but reputation.
After all, one of those degrees is the best university degree that money can buy.
As for quitting school to get an above average salary, that's just stupid. That salary is not for life, [...]
But job experience is. And from a certain point on, you will get hired for that. Though you're learning a lot of basic stuff for your formal degree that WILL be actually helpfull and a degree is a ticket into your first few jobs. And it's something that can't be taken from you, so usually it's worth considereing getting one. But it's definitly not the only way to go.
But usually not released as fast as a hand grenade. You have those precious seconds to fight a burning LiIon battery with a fire extinguisher. (again: usually)
But yes, that stuf is already dangerous in itself.
We were talking about REPLACING part of the battery with something else. Not rewireing.
The power-up test covers replacing the complete battery with some other substance (plus a little electronics), which would not show up easily on an X-Ray.
Replacing part of the battery would show up, as would replacing all the inner circuitery.
Rewiring would not show up, and would even let you add some additional electronic device, but not adding no explosives.
On a higher level, I agree with your conclusion that this whole stuff is theatre. Even Simon Beckett grade theatre, if we consider that this boils down to "Sir, would you please press the big red power button on that device of yours that we're suspecting might be a bomb?"
For that the reading recommendation would be "Snow Crash".bureaucracy has not been gotten rid of, but reduced to some insignificant role while the rest of the world is gouverned not by gouvernments or bureacracy, but "business processes" and coorprations and their three-ring-binders with company procedures.
Things are pretty much shining through:

And a luggage X-ray works with a range of intensities, so while not real 3D or CAT scan, the operator can see through or ignore most materials. So at some point, a discontinuity would show up. And carrying a 10kg bar of lead in your hand luggage may trigger a manual search espescially because the X-Ray can't see through it.
50$? Wait.. you're assuming that you can remove the battery from your phone, right?
That's a good one.
REALLY inconvinient if you have an iPhone....
a discontinuity would be obvious on the x-ray, if a part of the battery would have been replaced with other material then the rest of the battery.
I once had to unpack my hand luggage because I mixed two different brands of batteries in a spare battery container. When the different brand label matched the different x-ray signatures, it was no further problem.
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
