No, you open up the Chrome Dev Tools, click the Timeline tab and then start recording. Click a few days in the calendar, stop the recording and then you'll see that after each click it takes 100ms until paint events are shown.
Ok, so there are some cases where it helped stop the attack. Going a step further, how many of those had AKs and maybe bullet proof vests? Should everyone have armor piercing bullets too?
How many of the attacks happened because it was easy to get guns in the first place?
A terrorist will always be able to procure guns. But what about an unhappy employee, an angry teenager ?
No, having guns won't help one bit. Just name one attack in the States that has been foiled by a citizen.
What will happen unfortunately is that the surveillance measures will increase exponentially, normal citizens will throw privacy out the window, terror attacks will still happen.
"preying upon his prisoner's fears of the infamous Gestapo". Would you say then that torture (of other people) eventually played a role in the effectiveness of his technique ?
I was giving a couple of examples in reply to the "Why is this a topic of conversation?" question. It's not meant to be taken literally as a plan to save someone.
I'm just saying that it's worth having a conversation over.
If your daughter and wife were kidnapped by 2 people and you catch one of them, would you torture him to save them? What if you learned that they are being raped every day? Would you torture him then ?
What if you knew they do this every two weeks to another family, would you do it then?
What if you caught someone that has a habit of planting bombs in schools, would you do it then ?
I don't know if torture works or it doesn't, but it's certainly a topic worth having a conversation over.
Oh, such a "holier than thou" attitude in that article - US watching over the naughty naughty Europeans so we can all have a better and safer world. Maybe he should get off that really really high horse just a bit.
Actually .. it wouldn't : http://jsfiddle.net/kv2tzb5n/ (at least in chrome). Would you say this is a good moment to pass judgment on your programming abilities ?
Really? Is that what you judge a programmer by? I might be annoyed if I see something like what you're talking about, but I'll just point it out and forget about it.
