I just wish they would get off their butts and figure out how to compress the data better so they can be more narrowband in the existing spectrum. Honestly, Wifi is allowed to be awfully wasteful with the bandwidth it has.
Open up 5 more channels at the top end of the 2.4ghz.. They use them in the EU (and in my home.... bite me FCC) to give everyone a lot more room instead of suffering with the 3 useable ones we have here.
"Driver training should not be a requirement. If it isn't a requirement for normal drivers,"
It should be, Most drivers are horribly under educated and under skilled. I would whole heartedly support anything making it a LOT more difficult for people to get and maintain a drivers license.
The executives should be forced to apologize to the face of the relatives of the dead that they are sorry their family member died because of their personal greed. Then the executives should personally pay out of their pockets for the settlement. It was their decision to hide the fact, it was intentional by making the part number identical, they knew there was a problem and they intentionally hid it to keep their profits higher so their bonus would be higher.
GM has been a horrible company making low grade dog food for a while now. the bailout only made them more of a crap company.
Not in most EU countries or the USA/Canada. It is legal as all get out to film/photograph you on public streets without your consent.
Oh here is another kicker, if I can see you from a public place I can film/photograph you, yes if you are in your back yard on your private property, if I can see you from public property, I can take photos and film you all I want.
Another fun one, I can take photos from an airplane of you as well. so that high fence around your patio is not in my way.
"Recording private conversations or activities using Google's Glass eyewear or similar wearable technologies without consent could become illegal "
SO recording private conversations or activities using my cellphone or other recording device is 100% legal? No it's not.
What is it with these incredibly low IQ politicians making laws that are 100% useless? there are existing laws that work just fine and fit the case perfectly.
"Most small-ish generators are loud, a bitch to maintain (a synthetic oil change every 30 hours? if you insist..."
No, every 300 hours is far more accurate (I do it yearly well under the expected hours) as long as it is not a garbage generator and has a spin on oil filter, and loud? a honda insight is louder than my 7500watt generator that is for the house. and it takes no maintenance except for once a year. and yes 7500 watts is small.
I'm guessing you think that a generator is the old outdated very light duty cheap garbage you see on construction sites or at harbor freight. You should look at what people actually buy from Generac and others for backup power at their homes, very low maintenance and no I don't need synthetic oil.
It is trivial to bring a cellphone network to it's knees, every single minor event that attracts people crushes the AT&T or Verizon network. Cellular is one of the most unreliable technologyies out there because the cellphone companies were allowed to oversell the network so hard so there was no reserve for emergency use.
Blame the complete shitheads in congress that deregulated everything for this.
When they require all Internet providers to have common carrier status and be regulated as such. I also want all ISP's that have no direct competition to a customer to be forced to regulated pricing and bandwidth. IF you are a monopoly in an area you are not allowed to rape your customers like Comcast and Verizon gleefully do.
the freaking Crocks are easy as hell to replicate over and over and over. We were playing with the foam and decided to make some silicone mold's of a brand new set of crocks for my wife and I was able to make 2 more pair for her.
Shoes that are better than the crap you buy at the store are not hard to make either. Cobbling is actually pretty easy, most people can pick up the leatherworking within 30 days.
"If I were building a secure network machine," I would got with SPARC, you can get SPARC stations for dirt and they have decent specs even today. Compile BSD for it and you will have a 100% virus and trojan proof computer.
Go with a robust and oddball platform. If you want flashy and street cred, get your hands on some old Silicon Graphics hardware.

password protected zip files in dropbox. they cant scan them.
Or the rate of shootings that go up in cities where guns are banned.
Chicago has the strictest gun laws on the planet and they are the murder capitol of the world.
That is called C4 packed into the phone and a detonator. Sadly Homeland Security frowns upon this modification.
" mostly from reduced insurance premiums. "
Anyone that thinks an insurance company will reduce premiums is smoking some amazing good hallucinogenics.
Insurance companies will do everything in their power to RAISE premiums and not lower them.
Sweet!
Damn Obama for getting us into Vietnam as well as the Falkland Island war!
4:20coin will be the next version.
Honestly, why dont people just call this crap what it really is, A way to pay for drugs online.

It's only illegal because of the legitimized extortion racket that most cities have in place.

Why stop there, can't we also add a 190db horn that fires every 15 seconds?

I blame High Fructose Corn Syrup.
I would blame Obama, but that doesnt fit the same time window.
It get's farther away every day.
"I suspect in certain areas that would indeed be costly for the telco."
And I say Boo Hoo. They are making record profits, so they dont have any right at all to while about costs of rural infrastructure and service.

As long as the dumb people heads explode, this can only become a very good thing for the world.

So helium is free in Alaska? Last I checked, helium is so expensive that $1 a Kwh is going to be cheaper than keeping that thing filled.
I call BS on that, or having passengers talking to you cause accidents.
Ham radio operators talk on the radio all the time and dont have accidents at that rate, Semi truck drivers use a CB heavily and also dont.
Hell us kids throwing crap and constantly yelling "DAD HE IS HITTING ME!" should have had my family dead in a ditch 80X a year.
The problem is not talking it's the morons texting and checking email/facebook.
