You can make your receive as directional as you like, but the transmit has EIRP limits imposed by the FCC so you can't just focus it down to a narrow beam or amp up the power.
Also the wireless network may be a mesh. but everyone wants to connect to the internet, so it becomes a (multi) star topology centered around, presumably, a handful of wireless Internet gateways.
Also (can I have that many alsos ?) for most people the traffic will be coming mainly from the internet to the edge not the other direction, I think the limits on eirp for the "downstream" link will be the ultimate limiting factor in scaling.
Plus what does this do to everyone else's UNII and ISM band devices ?
Perhaps they should concentrate on Netflix only and put a number of shared CDN cache nodes at the edge.
This would be better in licensed spectrum, there are "licence lite" spectral allocations available for this kind of WiMax style operation and reasonably priced equipment too
No, a gun is cool-looking, fun to use, and easy to "justify" because it fits the "war on you" claptrap that politicians peddle. It's good business and good politics to propagate the myth that if "only they had a gun" a citizen would be be invincible, omnipotent and immune from consequences with little or no effort on their own part and that "right minded people" have the "right attitude" toward the issue in order to create a constituency and a customer base.
You don't use the drone to deliver the packages silly, you put them up to survey wind speed/direction and identify the target then fire the packages from a canon on the top of the truck or you drop the package from 10,000' and use the drone to operate the tiny cardboard control surfaces and deploy the package's parachute.
The package itself makes a doorbell noise when it lands.
My (larger) dogs both lived to an old age and I miss them tremendously. I don't miss the vet bills though. If they manage to make a dog live to 100 all the vets will be billionaires.
It will be a blessed relief to get into a flame war between dog people and cat people, I'm fed up typing in the same old rants about guns and religions every month.
Now they don't have to tie up the whole plane to keep passengers on the tarmac for hours on end. They can package them in a pod and abandon them a few yards away from the terminal.
Vehicles are far more useful than guns though. And the number of deaths per mile driven is falling because of regulation and the building in of safety features over the years. And it's not controversial to research ways of reducing car deaths.
If there were ever a serious threat to the central government they would be pushing a gun into the hand of every citizen capable of carrying one to defend the republic. By and large the threats that many people think would justify having a weapon for protection simply don't exist or are not well-addressed by having a gun.
By and large the US can enforce its laws, so can western European countries, so can Australia. There are any number of reasons why we're not Mexico. It's a numbers game. Reducing the numbers and types of problematic guns in problematic places in the hands of problematic people will make things better (not perfect, better). I think there's significant upside to that, it's certainly worth research and trial.
That explains why there seems to be so much more matter than anti-matter I suppose. What really gets me is that whenever the ship is shaken by an explosion the crew are thrown around like rag dolls, but changing direction rapidly doesn't even spill tea.
It's an arms race. Police in other countries generally don't need to be so heavily armed because the populace is generally less armed, hence only the most serious crimes involve guns.
Whenever I read "if guns are outlawed only criminals will have guns" I think of how successful other countries have been in driving up the bar to there being a gun involved in crime. In places where gun control is enforced a typical 7/11 robbery does not involve a gun, they are reserved for high end bank jobs and the like because they are simply too hard to obtain and the penalty for using them can be made correspondingly high.
When a pedestrian put a foot in a crosswalk the cars really did stop
There were no-parking areas either side of all crosswalks
There were lights on the crosswalk to mark its location and to make the pedestrians more visible. Crossing places were clearly marked with road paint that's generally not faded out
School crosswalks had uniformed crossing attendants with giant "lollipops"
There were no clumps of bushes to "decorate" the crosswalks / hide pedestrians
Touristy areas had arrows in the road telling pedestrians which way to look for oncoming traffic (easy to forget they drive on the left)
Many of the crosswalks are pushbutton operated lights, not some funky flashing yellow light that nobody understands what to do with, but real r/y/g traffic signals that actually do respond to the push button
The roads are narrower, so the time given by the lights to allow pedestrians to cross mean that the pedestrians don't need to sprint
If Barcelona is doing better, maybe someone from SFO shoudl go there and find out why.
I would have thought it would be easier for one business to recover fees from a few solvent businesses than from thousands or millions of individuals. There must be billing savings that are worth consideration.
1. There's lots of light in a cinema, a big bright image lights up the audiences faces. I would have thought ample light to run a regular inexpensive CCTV camera pointed away from the screen toward the audience. That not just locates offenders but provides evidence too. More light can be added in the form of IR as others have noted.
2. NV goggles are expensive and having the staff roam around in them adds even more cost.
3. Once the NV goggles have the sensitivity turned right down to allow for the brightness of the screen, I would have thought that would render them not much better than human eyesight.
I imagine this is a scare tactic and nothing more, maybe there'll be a couple of sets of rented goggles moved from theater to theater and "paraded around" to scare people off.

So the same as a yellow cab then

forced to buy it now, is there no end to the paranoia ?

It turned out to be a recording of a marching band though. I almost dropped the cat.
so where is bum,fuck,egypt ?

I think HP has a process you can follow, but that may only be for chopsticks with in-built soy sauce dispensers.
So there's some truth to the toe growth rumors then

Shouldn't we wait for his 256th birthday ?
And yet the murder rate in the US is nearly 5 times the murder rate in the UK and Australia according to Wikipedia.

Khaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnn!
If the code is all in perl it will be close to impossible to find out which part of it does what, a masterstroke of covering tracks.
