    Just because someone is self desecrating and a walking slab of lard does not mean they don't have a valid argument. Your logic is fallacious.

    Sure it does, when their "argument" is about how things must not be desecrated. Judging by everything you've posted on this page, I can only assume you yourself are "self desecrating and a walking slab of lard".

    Another compromise.

    The Telescope goes up, but the Washington Monument gets bulldozed, or perhaps the Salt Lake Temple, or the Statue of Liberty. If not just US things then perhaps the Vatican, Ankor Wat, or other religious icons.

    Wait.... what is that..... it makes a difference when the things YOU value are under attack.

    Makes no difference to me. I'd love to see the Statue of Liberty shipped off from New Jersey (because it's truly in New Jersey) back to Frnace.
    I'd be delighted to see Mount Rushmore obliterated back to a boring old rock. We don't need fucking pointless structures and monuments to stupid shit.

    In the old days they used to be able to pay off some local leaders to make the resistance go away. Now, they're absolutely bending over backwards, funding education initiatives, etc, and the protestors won't go away. Why? Two reasons. First, they made the mistake of breaking ground on a day that drew more attention because the activists were also doing something that day. Second, with Twitter and the internet the True Believers don't need local leaders to stir them up and connect them, they can do it themselves.

    Basically, they're trying to placate a bunch of implacable Luddites and Fanatics who won't be placated. Nothing but complete surrender or martyrdom will satisfy them.

    It's infuriating.

    Luddites? Maybe they need more apps.

    Dedicated routers offer same-or-better performance and capacity of a "layer 3 switch", and give you FULL layer 3 traffic control, not the half-assed firewalling, prioritization, etc. that "layer 3 switches" provide (at slow fucking speed).

    "Layer 3 Switch" is a marketing term for "half-assed router", and nothing more. If they were as capable as routers they'd be called routers because they'd fucking be routers. It's just like "smart managed switch", which means you get a semi-functional web interface (and maybe a semi-functional serial interface), good enough to do basic filtering, authentication, and VLANing, but it's no where near as capable as a true managed switch.

    Saying a layer 3 switch is better than a router is like saying a spork is better than a spoon, fork, and knife.

    A "layer 3 switch" has minimal routing features and is only a "great router" if you don't need to do much routing and thus don't want to spend money on an actual router.

    It is a router that can *route* packets among all interfaces at full speed. Get a Linux box with 16 NICs and flood them with traffic. See it sizzling, smoking and crashing.

    Oh fuck off with that bullshit. Routing packets takes minimal CPU, so fuck off with your sizzling and smoking horse shit. Full fledged routers are much more capable than "layer 3 switches".

    In May 1862, Abraham Lincoln overturned an order issued by General David Hunter that would have freed every slave across vast swaths of the southern Atlantic coast.

    "Using your flying RC toy during an emergency situation (riot, crime in progress, fire, natural disaster, et al.) is illegal."

    No it isn't. The FAA's authority to impose flight restrictions, temporary or otherwise, only extends to the point that there is a fucking valid reason to do so. Drones pose so little threat in the described situation that the FAA has no authority to do that shit.

    This goes for nearly all government authority. Federal agencies don't get to make up some bullshit and have their way whenever they want. They are limited to agencies necessary to their purpose, and are further limited in power and scope by state and federal law, including the constitution. The constitution includes a nifty line that basically says "Fuck you, if your power isn't explicitly listed here, it's for the people/states, NOT the feds.".

    The FAA can't dream up or exaggerate a threat about drones preventing firefighters from working and use it as a justification for restricting flight in an area.
    Similarly, the AMA can't dream up or exaggerate a threat about abortions being potentially harmful to patients and use it as a justification for restriction abortions.

    The agency of restricting flight in an area or restricting abortions does NOT serve the purposes under which the FAA or AMA are established because the danger excuse is exaggerated bullshit. These actions neither serve the established purposes of the FAA/AMA nor are the "threats" of a level that would justify the feds exerting power over states / individuals.

    But hey, this is the U. S. of A. and we love our overreaching government masters, including the FBI, NSA, TSA, FCC, FDA, ATF, and DHS. Why should we demand that they follow the law? Why should we expect that they do only the things necessary to achieve what they were established to do? Why not bend over and let them fuck us in the ass again and again and again and again and again with no recourse?
