So when a government attacker puts a drone over you, they can probably also watch for the traffic generated by the detector. They'll see an e-mail, SMS, tweet or whatever sent from/to MostWanted7@KillTarget.Org and confirm your identity just before they launch the missile.

No. If you tried to allay the terrorists' concerns then a passionate but rational person might conclude that future terrorism would help their own cause. Listening to terrorists is terrible public policy.

AUSTRALIA, not Austria. You know, with kangaroos, not lederhosen.

The attacks were traced to two acoustic couplers in Pyongyang. Televideo 925s were confiscated.

I've visited China twice, once this year, and I never saw anyone take a nap. There aren't even the facilities for it.

Office and plants seemed similar in China to anywhere else.

The terrorists will one day obtain enough fissionable material to make a bomb. Given that there were about 2,000 cases of unauthorised trading and probably even more unknown cases, and they might have it already. Hopefully they'll blow themselves up accidentally. Does anyone trust that Pakistan will never donate weapons-grade Uranium to terrorists, even if central government persists? If Pakistan collapses we're all in deep trouble.

So you're happy to send an innocent person to prison? I think I might send you.

For many years I didn't wear a watch, but I do now. It is rude to look at your phone while meeting with someone and it kinda gives away that you're wishing you were somewhere else. It is much easier to surreptitiously glance at your watch. This is the only reason I wear one.

You have not been sufficiently conditioned. Adjustment bureau coming up.

Ten petaflops for the OS.

Ten petaflops for the actual work.

Just idle curiosity : Do Mormons believe in an 'young earth', and if so how can they have geologists?
