What made your friend think that air traffic controllers would be able to give instructions on how to land an aircraft? (As a rule of thumb, they don't. And even most pilots couldn't help, only pilots who know the aircraft in question and i

Aren't you comparing apples and oranges? More bits don't equal better encryption … In the case of Mega, the claim of 'military-grade encryption' sounds too much of snake oil as I would want to try the service. Kim Schmitz' past isn't a reas

Why should you provide any time to Facebook to respond with regard to a feature that works as intended (but can – like most features – be used for other purposes)? The report/block function is a classic in this regard: In the best case, it
