Maybe they could close the MADD gap by launching satellites whose sole purpose are to (when they feel truly threatened) self-destruct in the most sensitive / busy orbits, causing a cascading demolition derby of satellite shrapnel.
Not exactly nuclear winter, but having to cleanup the entire upper atmosphere before re-establishing satellite communication would put a hell of a crimp in the Western world for at least a decade.
This is the scary bit of technology's Pandora's box: 24/7 citizen surveillance has become reliable, easy, and most importantly: cheap.
The real legacy of 9/11 will turn out to be the justification of the police state - at least up until all the history books are digitized to allow for Orwellian revision and omission.
If they would have offered that any and all detected Android devices would be automatically bricked, I'm sure Apple would have allowed Lightning connectivity.
In Doug Benson's opinion, it works well for action scenes and CGI, but in the 'normal' parts of the movie, it came across as being at a cosplay convention (too real = literally not fantastic).
Those HOA fees are ridiculous. In a new development by me it's $200 a month and there's no pool, no park, no "recreation room" nor bbq area. I think it goes for paying for the tiny strip of grass in front of each house (between the sidewalk and street) to be mowed.
And to help pay for their own Zimmermans to keep things quiet and 'riff-raff' free.
They are not a trial court. You get 10 minutes to speak your summary most of which you get interrupted by questions from the justices
Except, of course, Scalia's Shadow. In all his time on the court, Thomas has never EVER asked a fucking question; he just votes however Scalia tells him too.
The US has had some truly shitty Justices; Thomas is chief among them. Thomas: everything Thurgood Marshal was not.
All the wags writing 'if you don't like the tax laws, have them changed' - as if we, the great unwashed, can get the same access and one on one time with our 'elected' officials just like the rich pigs do.
After exiting the polling both, 99% of politicians wouldn't fucking care if we died in a fire; we're not their boss.
I always wondered if placing hardback books vertically on a shelf was a bad idea in the long term, mainly as the covers are almost always longer than the pages, leaving a space between the actual pages and the shelf, placing great stress on the binding as the pages are essentially a cantilever beam.
Of course, stacking books horizontally to take up the same amount of shelf space might be just as bad with the compressive stress on pages (ink) at the bottom of the pile. And just the act of removing the the book at the bottom of the stack could cause damage as well.
But yeah; automated scanning before they're placed in long-term (and one hopes well thought out fire prevention / suppression) storage.
I would totally buy a "Clippy is my co-pilot" shirt to wear ironically. Preferably one that had a picture of Clippy piloting a plane into a cliff.... Dang it, now I really want that shirt. I'm sad that it doesn't seem to actually exist.
Zero tax havens shouldn't exist, period. If Google can park their lucre for nothing, you really think drug, sex, and arms cartels aren't as well? If Bermuda, et al are touting tax-free havens, I doubt they do much heavy lifting in 'following the money', if you will. Stop giving cockroaches easily accessible dark corners.
The GOP and Silicon Valley want ever more H1B visas for STEM graduates, spewing a list of horseshit reasons, but never the real reason: high tech skilled, compliant immigrants from cultures with near zero workers' rights that are more than willing to work for pennies on the dollar (unlike those lazy USians).

How about: ISPs are freely allowed to impose data caps, but if they do, all their monopolistic franchise agreements are null and void.
I recommend Senator Wyden should stay off small planes, lest he suffer the same kind of 'accident' as Senator Paul Wellstone (D).

TSA = Thousands Standing Around
Crap; the Borg have learned our 'rotate the frequencies' trick.
Only until he pops up on Seal Team 6's list.

Unless, or course, hookers and booze are in play.

'counter-insurgency activity' - AKA supporting the opposing political party. Or being a member of a non Jebus-Approved religion (or none at all).
I'll believe it when I don't hear them - especially in the podunk rural TV markets such as where I live.

Google wouldn't do this if the US was still not run by (violent, gluttonous, greedy) Purtians from the first day to this.
Do ISP rankings really matter, given that 98% of USians have exactly *no* choice in broadband providers?
Begin a Kickstarter...
It broadcasts the message: "Drink More Ovaltine!".
Rational and moral; not so much. Gotta keep that Golden Parachute consultancy gig viable!

This breakthrough will lower our cell phone and cable bills by at least a dollar a year!!
And one US party wants to implement exactly that - just as Jesus would do.
