2KM is kinda useless once the missile has achieved ballistic trajectory.

At speed of 2.5km/second, the missile will whiz pass this thing quicker than any damage can be done to it.

Note both the videos show the missile at launch, when they are not at top speed, may work for Hamas to Israel scenario, won't work for North Korea to South Korea type of scenario.

Oh just this once I wish they have tons of useless patents preventing the "man" from doing this easily.

Deliberately buried!

Typical bullshit science. How to detect it? Very easy: if there is a phrase "million years" in it (in this case "ten thousand years"), then it's bullshit.

Royksopp would be more appropriate soundtrack

This is as idiotic as storing data on DNA.

So go ahead.

The fact that supercomputing is not on top (by number of votes) saddens me.

I will go out on a limb and say that every single office that creates content will need a normal PC with a normal input. Touch has been there forever in blue collar jobs: restaurants, car service.

The only revolution we see related to touch is entertainment and mobile computing. Tablets are pretty convenient when you watch movies and browse internet in bed and smartphones are convenient for doing the same in the subway.

All other areas are pretty much unaffected.

Well, looks like you need free upgrades. We did a while back. The new platform manages BB and iOS/Android devices. If you have your BES 5.0 and earlier License CALs lying around, its a free upgrade to their new BES 10.0

Considering, going forward you will need to pay a monthly fee and the Trade Up program give you non-expiring licenses, I think its a worthy upgrade even if you don't intend to run BB in long run. At least you will have new CALs if you so choose to continue.

More than 10 years

Film industry is going to go redundant sooner or later, bittorrent as a distribution channel is already mature, stuff like blender is maturing. How long before a talented bunch of individuals are capable of making high quality movies without the industries backing.

In such emergencies, its better to use SMS than place a voice call.

SMS rides on control signal and as long as your cell phone has a signal, it will get queued and delivered.

Voice calls require acquiring of a dedicated voice channel, these are limited and overloaded in such emergencies.

I upgraded from a C2Q to a i7 with 16GB ram and a small 128GB SSD for boot, costed me around $700, a desktop. Later on dropped 2x3TB drives in there with Win 7.

At this time, this desktop runs my old XP install as a VM, a Mac OS X, Ubuntu and a Scratchpad XP install, all as services in background.

I don't even notice a hick up. I doubt I could do all this on a C2Q machine.

It has been that way since the dawn of times. 13 years ago two of my buddies bought luxury SUVs, one of them got it with GPS that would not even allow you to touch itself unless you turn off your vehicle. The other one got GPS that could not care less.

This is going one of those laws that nobody follows and hard to enforce...

>If you go soft, you'll be assassinated

This is bullshit. HIstory knows plenty of cases when useless dictators led life full of weaknesses and have not been assassinated for that reason

Now, interfering with others' manipulation of you, that would get you certainly killed.

This is a baseless speculation.
