Pretty sure golfPentium comes after golf486.

Based on a quick perusal of Title 18, United States Code, Sec. 1102, Chapter 40. Importation, Manufacture, Distribution and Storage of Explosive Materials, no you can't. Pretty sure you can't build that nuke without explosives. The nuclear material is also likely highly regulated, but I didn't bother to continue looking as I already found a showstopper for you legally building that nuke.

Having browsed at 0 and seeing many items far more influential noted - I'd note that most of the items proposed hardly qualify as a gadget.

Aside from prototype nuclear weapons, I can't see a circumstance where I'd accept 'gadget' as a descriptive of an item which couldn't be held in the hand... "Hand me that gadget over there", pointing in the direction of a hair dryer / cell phone / power drill / etc, sounds reasonable to me, while "Haul that gadget over here", pointing at a chain engine hoist / deep freezer / electron microscope / etc, sounds bloody odd / incorrect.

None of this is to say that I agree with the iphone as a choice... I don't. I just don't think an airplane or printing press qualifies as a 'gadget'... A gun, however, might.

Not to be too picky, but initially (I was an early adopter, with the original iphone, within a very short time of its release) there wasn't the app support you describe. It had the apps it came with, and could access 'webapps' - javascript on webpages via bookmarks, more or less. There wasn't an app store, public sdk, etc. That all came later - at least several months, might've even been a hair over a year.

I've already replied with a list of phones which didn't suffer these problems... After looking at your links, both refer to the 5x. I wish you'd phrased your observation so it didn't appear as a blanket attack on google-made or google-engined phones; while it's precisely correct, it's deceptive.

List of phones I've owned which had no lag or locking up when trying to take pictures:

iphone (original)
iphone3g
(when the i3g died in a hurricane and itunes was still antiquated enough that new phone == paying for all apps / tunes over again, I made the switch...)
nexus 1
htc g2
htc evo3d
htc evo3gle (or whatever it was called... commonly called 'eagle')
sony psx phone (whatever that was called)
htc shift
nexus 4
nexus 5
nexus 6
blackberry priv

The sad part is, I know I've missed at least two phones in there. And those two, didn't have lag or lock up when using the camera either. I've never met anyone who complained of lag, or this lock-up-camera thing.

Read up on Golden Ticket and Pass-the-Hash. It works. Been there, done that.

Apple should investigate whether or not they can restore the password (the hash of the password) for just this one user. This assumes they have backups that cover the relevant time period. I'm sure it's not completely trivial, but it's probably a lot less work than rolling out a one-off OS. If so, then the FBI could then take the phone to a trusted Wifi, plug it in and let it back up to iCloud. Apple has already turned over the 6 week old backup that's in iCloud and could easily turn over the new data too.

If you don't mind working at a higher abstraction level, Player/Stage (available on SourceForge) provides a multi-robot simulation.

Nothing to see here. This was a "front door," not a "back door."

"Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway." If your application is latency sensitive, adding bandwidth isn't going to help. The main issue with latency and satellite is that pesky limit on the speed of light.

When did we switch from, "who did this [obvious] crime?" to "let's figure out what crimes X committed?" The feds know what this guy did. Either it's a crime, or it's not. If it requires a massive amount of digging (by subject matter experts) to try to find some law to charge the guy with, it's not justice. I suspect any one of us could be found guilty of multiple felonies if a team of lawyers were tasked with charging us with something. Having said that, this guy's an idiot for having his name associated with a video containing two hot button issues combined together.

As worded, police would be prohibited from having guns. Unless police count as milita, in which case that guy in Nevada suing the police for violating his 3rd amendment rights should win.

There is no legal definition of assault rifle. The term assault rifle originated with the Nazis, and is generally accepted as having the definition I previously provided. Given the select fire nature, assault rifles are strictly regulated under the National Firearms Act. Note: the NFA does not define or use the term assault rifle.

Over time, there have been multiple defitions of the term assault weapon. There was a Federal definition, until the assault weapons ban sunset. Several states have their own definition. That's a much newer term, which many believe was invented to cause confusion, as it's similar sounding to assault rifle.

I would request that you provide a link to this legal definition of assault rifle of which you speak, but I know you can't because it does not exist. I believe you are one of those who has confused the terms assault rifle and assault weapon.
