How can a threat to bomb an airport be considered as a joke?

People might be saying that it's "free speech", but even free speech has its limit

While I get to enjoy the freedom of speech of saying anything that I want to say, I must be responsible for any word that comes out of my mouth (and also the words that I typed onto my keyboard)

If I say I want to kill somebody, it's a threat, and should not be considered as "free speech" anymore

And of course, I have to be responsible for what I said

There you go, jumping from one assumption to another !

While the open-map itself might not be 100% accurate, how sure are you that the map from Tom-Tom is?

And about those "Self-Driving Cars" - if those cars got into accident due to errors in Tom-Tom's map, then what?

Furthermore, the Actel ProAsic3 FPGA chip isn't fabricated in China at all !!

I hope for the day when we can get mobile kits that can be used for sequencing genome of all types of fauna / flora that are on this planet

At the way of the degradation of our planet's ecology, more and more species are dying out

If only someone can come out with el-cheapo gene sequence kits that are mobile, that can sequence genes of all types of flora / fauna, then, perhaps, we can collect the genetic sequence of as many species as we can possibly gather, before they disappear all together

Many thanks for the headsup !

Indeed, the claim by those so-called 'security experts" are crappy at best

How can anyone take claim such as "99% of the chips are made in China" seriously??

Just to ease your concern -

Claims made by of the pair of con artists:
 
 

and
 
 

Those guys are not talking about simple resistors or power pumps or heat sink

They are talking about " an American military chip that is highly secure with sophisticated encryption standard, manufactured in China " that they claim " 99% of chips are manufactured in China "

Translation:

They don't even know what they are talking about !!

Their scam might scare some congressmen shitless, but c'mon !!

Those of us who are in this field for ages see through their scam in a femto-second

I have but one very simple request:

Can you help us by identifying that word "ALWAYS" in my original comment, please?

If you can find even one instance of the word "ALWAYS", I will eat my word

If you can NOT find even one instance of that word "ALWAYS" in my original comment, would you mind telling us why you want to tell such a lousy lie?

Thank you, and have a nice day !

If you read that troll article more carefully, you will see the following:
 
 

***emphasis mine***

Lemme summarize that troll article for you ---

We are very smart people, we have offices in CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY and we have BREAKTHROUGH SILICON CHIP SCANNER TECHNOLOGY.

We hereby announced that we have found BACKDOORS in chips that we know were made in China, and somehow those chip have mysteriously turned into "US MILITARY CHIP".

We are telling you that the UK and USA governments BETTER FUND US to further our research or you guys WILL FOREVER BE FUCKED BY CHINA !!

The only aim of that troll article is money, lots and lots of money

It is nothing but a lousy scam.

This scam is so pathetic that even the worst Nigerian scam ever written looked more legit, in comparison

This submission is based on the same troll article as another submission - http://slashdot.org/submission/2087143/china-has-backdoor-on-us-military-chip

Both submissions are troll based as the US military has a very strict rule in NOT using chips that were made in China

The so-called "U.K. researchers" are full of shit

The article itself is nothing but fear mongering

The article claims to use "breakthrough silicon chip scanning technology" to "investigate" and "found back-doors" in "chip made in China"

Only fucking morons will believe in such claims !!

It is one thing to fear China, it is another to pen such ridiculously worded article
