Literally. There is more gold per-ton in old computer parts than gold ore, and its cheaper to extract. so it makes sense given the recent rise of precious metals for apple to salvage as much of these resources as possible. This Free program is probably going to turn a profit.

Full length swat shields? What a clever sounding idiotic idea.

Even if you STOP the .50 cal bullet with your shield you still have to deal with the kinetic energy of the bullet. One hit and the officer would be down with multiple fractures, not to mention it'd probably knock them back into last week. Those swat shields aren't there to stop bullets so much as they are to stop cans, and sticks and baseball bats. Things with not near the kinetic energy of a .50 cal bullet. Using this material to make a swat shield would be overkill, expensive and fairly useless.

It strikes me that the turnaround time for patches to Firefox is significantly quicker than many other options. After these little bugs were found, they had patches out in short order. While it may not be impregnable, at least they are plugging the holes faster.

No, I'm just out of the office this week.
