There needs to be a requirement that all products that are country/region locked have that fact clearly displayed on any product advertising and packaging. The public needs to be aware that something they buy will become unusable if they travel or move with it.

I am sorry you laptop/phone does not work while you are in mexico/canada/......

I thought pointing lasers at planes was bad and would get you arrested. Is it good now?

Sure lasers are a fine transmission medium but they also affect the human eye, so generally not so good for the open air.

Identify the advertisements client side and don't load them. Speeds up loading and rendering pages a lot.

So apple can show that the iPhone was tampered with after the government took possession. Well that makes the information on the phone totally suspect.
That to me shows there is no reason to decrypt the phone as nothing on it can be trusted to be authentic any more.

For example, highly paranoid version,
Did the CIA get someone to re-image the phone and plant false information.

I hate autoplay. I hit a page with an autoplaying video and even if I wanted to go there 9 times out of 10 it is X and that page is gone.

Every ballot should have a "none of the above" option with special rules if "none" wins. If none wins then no one who ran is ever eligible to run again at this level of civic election and none of them are entitled to any rebates, refunds or other campaign support in anyway from the general public purse.

The purpose this none of the above option would be to make sure all candidates engage and encourage voters and don't waste our time.

So are more people attempting to transport guns or did the TSA just get better at detecting them?
Both of those are pretty bad things.

Also :
  Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW): 153
That is like 1 every 2 days. At least the numbers show where most idiots live. Yes I uses idiot there. They must totally disregard gun safety to do this.

I am really surprised that anyone who attempts to transport a gun does not automatically get added to the no fly list.

Unless both a mathematician and sociologist working together can show in a hard proof that crypto with a backdoor is as secure as crypto alone I maintain that crypto with a back door is not crypto so the request is impossible to fulfil and simply moot.

Like the lawmakers that tried to make PI = 22/7 the request is simply a violation of reality, proving once again the politicians have no concept of reality.

See the CPU bug of last week where a math operation can cause SkyLake processors to crash. It can be worked around with a BIOS upgrade that avoids the problem by using a trap to escape the crash. Things like that need BIOS updates on systems in the field. A lot happens under the hood the regular users are not aware of.

Also the darkside hides from the light side. All that hiding has to be some sort of force use. Seems to me the measurement process is missing the passive sensing abilities, like the ability to feel a planet full of people die without even looking for it.

If you are going to measure the use of force you need units and a strength measure.

How much force is that in midi-choloridian-seconds? And how do you convert that to Newtons (kg*m/s^s)

Following on the path of backup camera's any new feature which can be marginally considered a safety feature can be promoted over and over until it becomes a mandatory requirement that must be maintained. The path to (4) profit is clear.

Wake me when the fridge's drone can deliver a beer to the couch with voice command from the living room.

I would like to know the opinion of large public corporations security officer on this feature of windows.

The silly stuff of pride and self preservation means you can't do someone's job for them.
You show that they (and possible the massive task force behind them are "useless").

It is a stupid system. The whistle blowers should get a nice reward for saving further wasted money. And yes it is possible those in charge get a black mark for not following whatever lead it was. Overall from the top, the system should adjust and continue to reward these outside sources of information as good competition against an inside system going soft.

Every mobile phone is potential bomb trigger. Did they round up all the kids with phones?
All these people keep freaking out over are things that they suspect are triggers which just indicates how stupid the populace in general is.

A bomb is 3 things
- trigger
- detonator
- explosive

Just about anything from a string to a super computer can be trigger setting the condition for activating the detonator.
Getting in a panic over something that might be trigger is ludicrous and does not help.
