States would see that as a failure of the Federal Government and there would be another succession movement.
The mobs wouldn't be about the TV, it would be the mobs who expect and need Federal services.
Up here in Alaska, we'd be easy to cut off, cut the undersea cable connections on the Oregon and Washington coast and kill the satellite data links. GCI and ACS probably would be able to jump on Pacific and Asian satellite links though.
I could see it happening if there was an all out attack on military, financial and government networks from overseas addresses.
The government(s) here in the US are too large and distributed in my opinion to ever have to cling to power.
Look at recent history, G.W. Bush the most reviled president since Nixon, who had the cabinet of arch villains in the eyes of many people, he stepped aside when his term was over, as did Cheney. Hell Nixon gave it up without a shot fired.
If individuals like LBJ, Nixon and both the Bushes go without a struggle, what corrupt administration would ever stay on through chaos so bad they need the internet turned off?
In 35 years, thats going to be 1976, we have 21 years of Republican (Ford 1, Reagan 8, Bush 4, Bush 8), 14 years of Democrat (Carter 4, Clinton 8, Obama 2) Presidents.
Senate is 16 years Republican and the House is 12 years Republican.
In the last 20 years, a Republican has been President for 10 years (2 years H.W. Bush 1, 8 years G.W. Bush), Republicans controlled the Senate for 10 years and controlled the House for 12 years.

He used to post alot of the stories here from about, oh 2000 to '04. And he was/is the interview editor.
Sensors, software and the fact that missiles explode a fair distance away and they tend to be just as good at following an airplane and destroying them as an airplane is at getting away from them.
Like Starstreak from the UK. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starstreak_missile It goes Mach 3.5, so about twice as a fast as current generation fighters/attack, and launches three mini missiles.
"The three sub-munitions fly in a formation about 1.5 meters in radius, and have enough kinetic energy to maneuver to meet a target evading at 9G at 7,000 meters."
Despite that, all US manned fighters have an internal 20mm cannon. The Russians include a cannon in their new fighter/attack, Eurofighter Typhoon has the option for one, the Koreans have one in the T-50, the French have a cannon in their fighters and attack, the Chinese include a cannon, even the Swedes have a cannon in the JAS 39. I guess all of them missed the memo on a cannon being obsolete.
F-117A didn't have one, but it's now retired so it remains true that all US fighters have a cannon. F-117 wasn't a fighter by design, it was designed for the attack role. If F-117 was designed to be a fighter it would have a radar, higher thrust engines and a better thrust to weight ratio. The fact that it's flight systems and parts like the undercarriage are derived from fighter parts doesn't make it a fighter.
Vietnam and the Arab Israeli Wars show very clearly that in some engagements the cannon remains a viable weapons system for a modern fighter.
F-4 was originally going to be four 20mm cannons, then Sparrow came along and they deleted the single internal cannon.
Vietnam showed that Sparrow wasn't that effective at long range and Sidewinder had too limited of engagement envelope so by the F-4D in 1967 they carried an external gun pod, and the F-4E had an internal M-61 cannon in '68/69.
The models Israel got were the F-4E which already had the cannons.
Nor is it as other websites have called it, a bomber.
X-47 is pure experimental but does have a weapons bay that could theoretically hold two 1000 pound JDAMs. Were a production plane made out of this it would be an MQ - multi-role (M) unmanned aircraft system (Q) or AQ - attack (A) unmanned aircraft system (Q).
It doesn't carry nor is it currently designed to carry an M-61 gatling gun, which every current F designated US aircraft has, nor does it have any missile capable hard points.
But yea, this is a stupid name for a rocket, rockets should always get an astronomical name. I've always been disappointed that things like the SRBs didn't have a better name like the Neptune boosters for the Shuttle.
Liberty was also the name of the American built 400 HP engine for WW I fighters, bombers and tanks to be sold to all the Allied Powers, but in the end only the Americans, French and British used them.
The program back then led to Cadillac engineers leaving GM and forming the Lincoln company which was bought by Ford.
Special Education applications that require a CD and the CD to be in the drive. Not allowed to use disk image cloning tools cause of copyright rules and a bunch of crap.
An iPad gets its apps, which were far cheaper per license, from the iTunes store.
Really? I have an HP Mini 210-2070NR here at my desk that came in the same day as an iPad Wifi 32GB No optical drive, no way to get the apps we need installed on it so awaiting some USB optical drives.
The iPads are deployable in about 10-15 minutes with all the apps we send out, the HP Mini 210s weigh more (5.6 pounds) and are thicker (1.6") and have the lovely center of gravity issue of tipping over backwards whenever the the screen is open.
But they cost the same amount and have more hard disk storage and a faster hard disk, but about half the battery life.
iPads were out the door in 15 minutes, the HPs are going to take 90-120 minutes once we get optical drives.
No moving parts, they weigh 1.5-1.6 pounds, they don't get terribly hot.
I can work on an iPad and just toss it on the couch without worrying about hard disk platters, the screen hinges or something coming apart inside. Functionally it's like working with a book or a notebook not a computer.
HP from your link - 8.19 lbs iPad 32GB 3G - 1.6 lbs

"FRONTLINE/World reporter Jane Kokan talks about clandestinely filming the story that got her colleague beaten to death." Beaten to death for filming a story about opposition movements in Iran.
How many people in the United States were beaten to death or shot for protesting the election of George Bush in 2004 or the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? None.
How many people in Iran were beaten to death or shot for protesting the election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009? 30 officially, 80 claimed.

Thats cool, I didn't realize the Republicans had the Senate in the early 80s till I looked it up.
In 35 years, thats going to be 1976, we have 21 years of Republican (Ford 1, Reagan 8, Bush 4, Bush 8), 14 years of Democrat (Carter 4, Clinton 8, Obama 2) Presidents.
Senate is 16 years Republican and the House is 12 years Republican.
25 years takes us to 1986, which would be Reagan's 2nd term.
So 14 years of Republican President, 10 Democrat, Republican control of Senate and House change a bit, 11 years of Senate, 12 years of House.
ADA Amendments Act of 2008 was good policy.
Of course they do. The problem was they always had that freedom while the underlings didn't.

Yep, F-35 series is going to be the last US manned fighter program I suspect.
Future will probably be F-22s, AESA equipped F-15/16/18s, F-35s acting as the master control for drones.
Need a SAM net taken out? Launch 20 drones and one or two control aircraft to designate targets and let them loose.

I curse whenever I have to support a printer. Or install Ubuntu on a MacBook.
Let me repeat for the third time in the thread.
The applications have to run with the CD in and we can not use disk imaging software to clone the disks.
For us here in Alaska, cheaper to run fiber around the state in the sea and then push data out over fiber and then wireless to the last mile.
Special Education stuff and we can't use virtual CD software or images in this case.
Special Education applications that require a CD and the CD to be in the drive. Not allowed to use disk image cloning tools cause of copyright rules and a bunch of crap.

They've been collecting the fee since 1934 on telephones.
Until now it was going towards telephones in rural areas, now it'll go to internet infrastructure.
