Can you point out your source for saying this? I haven't seen a single article that mentions anything other than live flights. He was asked by the FBI to create a simulator to test security but that isn't where he claimed he got into the seat box from the OES to avionics. If I misesd something, I like to be able to be informed. If I didn't, then it would appear that your assertion is incorrect. I'm just looking for facts, not saying you're wrong.

Bitcoins and Wall Street. There's been enough stories about scams and losses with Bitcoin - disappearing exchanges, vaporized money. Now we're going to pair amateur scammers with professional dirtbags. No fucking thanks. (Flame all you want, but I'll save them to remind you later when I turn out to be right.)

Kids need to know the difference between verifiable reference material and crap. Just because more people agree with one view on a forum or comments section doesn't neceesarliy make it a fact. Foxnews.com is a perfect example of this. So is MSNBC.com Just because it's on wikipedia doesn't mean it's true. Learn critical thinking and be able to know what questions to ask and where to go to find out. Kids know how to use the hardware - they need to engage the wetwear.

I have an aol.com address ironically.

It's controversial because it takes away time from teaching anything but the test, associated implementation and support costs are enormous and the only ones truly benefitting from this are the test manufacturers like Pearson... who also make the books for studying and the certifications for the teachers and even the GED certs so they have you one way or the other. Full disclosure; I am an independant consultant who works in IT a few days a week for a major school district and I am seeing this from the inside. If you'd like another perspective, I suggest going to YouTube and searching on John Olver's take. Funny, but at the same time chilling.

It's a loose collective with no centrally organized leadership. How do you accuse a group of something that they, as a group, have no control over? How do you prosecute anarchy?

Where did *you* get that conclusion from what I said? Please re-read before commenting.

...you can trust Murdoch with your privacy because he's demonstrated it so well in the past. TOR isn't the issue here, NewsCorp's ethics is.

So you're saying that the Double Big Mac Combo itself is fine, healthy and calorie/fat free? Because if you aren't then your reply isn't "Nope", it's "Yes you're correct and these things (that you are describing like insulin and gut bacteria) make it worse.... etc."

Neither of them are healthy and I haven't seen the inside of a McDonalds in years.

I can haz a cut of da profits?

That's no moon.....

A kidding aside, this would make a lousy IoT camera - unless the capacitor is going to store enough to run the cam and an IR source. Most IoT/Smarthome users like to monitor things at night as well...

What a dick move.

Ha ha! That's really funny!! Take you awhile to come up with that pithy comment?

So tell me why Bitcoin should be 'still a thing'... besides a cautionary tale?

Can we just all agree that this was over before it started and move on? I'd hate to have to write a script to remove any articles with BitCoin in them from view like I did with the Kardashians...
