His name is Wiggum, not Williams. And the first name is Clancy.

You could send a few bucks to Wikipedia.

Paperwork is important, I guess. But encryption should be more important to the air force generals.

Both the Japanese and the Germans got their asses handed to them in WW2, because they assumed that their crypto was good enough.

As I said. Weak encryption is better than no encryption at all. The Air force has had more than 10 years since Bosnia. When will they be ready to put some encryption on their video signals, for the benefit of the soldiers and marines on the ground?

Why are the military so goddam stupid? They have been transmitting video unencrypted ever since the Bosnia conflict. And apperantly they're still happily going on making same mistake as Joe Sixpack, setting up his new home wireless router.

Don't they understand that even the weakest simplest encryption, is 1000 times better than none at all?

Of cause. If Firefox hadn't arrived, 99% of all users would still be browsing with IE6.

Wouldn't you be bitter? If you had done something really great with a small company. And now learns that a huge giant, that was previously you friend, has decided to out compete you?

I would say that BBC, and other European state financed outlets, are depraved pits of political correctness and fake neutral bias. Masters of dishonest crap journalism.

The only honest TV journalist I know of, is Jon Steward. And he's not a journalist...

That is simply wrong.

1: MS have a long history of abusing their monopoly. Google haven't.

2: You can easily switch away from the Google stuff that you use. You can not easily switch away from your MS stuff.

Okay, Google may be an evil corporation, but they haven't done anything obviously evil yet. I think...

Tell him to stop stealing honey from the poor bees. They say that honey contains lots of stuff that's good for people's health. Well it's perfect for bee's health! They have depended on it for millions of years. I don't understand how beekeepers can think they can replace it with a sterile sugar/water mixture, without seriously compromising the health and constitution of the hive.

In short: The beekeepers are, at the very least, part of the CCD problem. Not just victims.

Well it is a rather strange coincidence, that the bright spot on Venus and the scar on Jupiter both appeared on 19 July.

That's exactly how brightly colored toxic jungle frogs have taught predators not to eat them. By killing off the stupid and the unlucky until they understand, that the bright colors mean "stay TF away from me".

From TFA: "Ultimately fusion [power] may be a technological dream that is just too hard to turn into reality."

I was hoping for a future where energy was so cheap and abundant, that we could waste it on all kind of cool stuff. - Like desaline so much sea water that you could make the Sahara desert into a rain forest bigger and more fertile than the Amazonas.

Computer power is like money: Whenever there's more available people will find something to spend it on.

I think he would probably prefer the term SF.

Sci-fi is Hollywood entertainment with explosions, technobabble, and spaceships that make rumbling sounds as they travel through space. SF (speculative fiction) is something that might contain a bit of actual intelligence hidden inside.
