The US won't sell F35 to non-friendly countries, and friendly-countries are already in bed with the US intelligence-wise, where the US typically allow the other countries to use their intelligence-gathering systems, in exchange for the US to get access to the information they gather.

That ends up meaning that all intelligence that other countries intelligence-agencies end up collecting are available to the US.


I'm sure Norway and the US are friendly and exchange lots of information within NATO, but if Norway wants to tell the US how their F-35 moves between various caves for service I'm sure they want to do so in a high level intelligence exchange type of way, and not because some Lockheed logistics system automatically phones home about Norwegain F-35 locations.

See the title of this post, the $225 million they raised.


Parsing HTML with a RegEx pattern is considered very bad practice, there are other more robust ways of scraping. For example, in Python, BeautifulSoup.

You do have a fair point though, this functionality does exist in most major programming languages.


"an insider with a good track record of leaking unannounced information regarding Microsoft’s plans"

It sounds like he/she has successfully leaked information before.

Not quite - "is now in the default search engine list". It's still an incredible achievement. :-)


Thanks for the clarification.


Damn. I thought this was an easter egg: http://gigglebang.com/?q=exception

(In case it's fixed, it'll actually throw an exception)


I like it. I fixed the bug but added an egg for this. http://gigglebang.com/?q=exception


It now throws a real "global name 'abc' is not defined" exception. This is getting pretty meta!
