why would they resort to elaborate techniques to do so when they could have someone walk up and pick him off with a gun or poison or just have him "disappeared"? You're saying instead they chose a method that requires a sophi

despite your snark, yes we would. I dont know LA very well, but obviously the public transit system is broken and the reasons are probably very complex. So yes, a cooperative app telling you which lane and speed to select would be a form of

Good point, I forgot about that. I had it backwards thinking wealthy people had more latitude to choose better jobs further away from home, whereas the (non-driving) poor are more stationed in their neighborhoods. I agree 100% though.

While I don't think the CIA is above killing a US citizen on US soil (you know, for "security" or something), I don't think they need to hack a vehicle to do it, nor would they want to draw the unnecessary speculation an

Rather than actually fabricating new tubes, I think a smarter approach would be to make a convertible circuit with adjustments and connectors that could revive any/most CRT's. So you could find any non-punctured CRT, gut all the

What annoys me is the expiry date and CVV. It seems like their solution to "more secure" is just to add more numbers. How about put the last 3 digits on the back, and call it the cvv ? How about use alphanumeric card numbers so we
