Beyond that, if ammunition becomes restricted, I expect we'll see single-shot zip guns loaded with gunpowder and bullets directly (rather than brass cartridges), like olden-days black powder arms.
No need to worry about the reload; you've got a $7 plastic single-use firearm. You can probably take it with you and melt it down to destroy some evidence.
The ground stations (control and monitoring) don't need to be directly underneath the satellites.
Effective operation only needs line of sight from time to time to upload minor correction data.
Failing to upload the minor corrections may mean accuracy goes from a 2 meter circle to a 100 meter circle*. I don't know about you, but I don't think a nuke going off 300 feet away vs 6 feet away is going to be significantly more survivable.
*These are totally bullshit numbers, fabricated for the benefit of discussion.
The TI-85 had a data cable, but that only allowed a program/data to be transferred between two TI-85s.
My recollection is that the cable included with the calculator only allowed calculator to calculator syncing, but that for about $30 you could buy the computer to calculator cable (and software) that conveniently allowed you to copy all your data to or from a computer... very useful if you had to demonstrate that your calculator was wiped for an exam.
Given that we're talking about a trainer aircraft, where the object is to provide the pilot with experience in operating a supersonic aircraft, minimizing the pilot's exposure to things like light and G-forces during turns seems counterproductive.
If you're going to make the canopy opaque, or bury the cockpit in the fuselage and minimize the G-forces, what's the advantage to having a pilot on board at all? Turn the aircraft into remotely piloted vehicles ("drones"), protect the squishy parts even further, and make the plans go faster, turn harder, and carry more fuel and ammunition.
As I read it, as far as the FCC is concerned, IF you got permission from the pilot in command, you were permitted to operate.
The FAA may now allow the pilot in command to say yes more often, but just like before your lawful operation of an amateur station aboard an aircraft requires permission from the pilot in command.
I have a suspicion that with the new rule changes, the requisite permission will now be granted pretty much just like before.
97.11 Stations aboard ships or aircraft.
(a) The installation and operation of an amateur station on a ship or aircraft must be approved by the master of the ship or pilot in
command of the aircraft.
(b) The station must be separate from and independent of all other radio apparatus installed on the ship or aircraft, except a common
antenna may be shared with a voluntary ship radio installation. The station's transmissions must not cause interference to any other
apparatus installed on the ship or aircraft.
(c) The station must not constitute a hazard to the safety of life or property. For a station aboard an aircraft, the apparatus shall not be
operated while the aircraft is operating under Instrument Flight Rules, as defined by the FAA, unless the station has been found to
comply with all applicable FAA Rules.
So, as long as you get permission from the pilot in command, go for it. Just like before.
The typical Rent-To-Own customer is not likely to know to do this, nor to have the skills to do this.
Some of us will say that they deserve what they get for not hiring a professional to administer their personal computer, since they sure as hell don't know what they're doing.

$500 would get you a very nice handgun in a private party sale.
Yeah, but you'll probably want ammunition... so with the current market, that gets you back around $1000.

A luminous slide rule app, for when the batteries discharge on the host device?
Perhaps build a sliderule into a phone case.
And for unit conversions, if you want precise answers you memorize all conceivable conversion factors to fifteen digits?
Ten places ought to be enough to get you from meters to atoms. Any test that needs more precision than that will surely allow a crib sheet.
Back in the day, people could easily remember ten digit phone numbers.
Does it work when the batteries run out?
I know darn well I can work a slipstick by candlelight.

Like all technology, we won't know that it's viable until they make porn with it.
It's amazing that Madagascar didn't close the borders in that time.

Pretty sure that's covered under Part 97.11...

Damn the validation. Full speed to prod!
Switch back? I'm still running OS/2 on at least one box in production.

On a wire (or fiber), there is less contention for the available bandwidth. One device on each end of the string.
On WiFi, with everyone on channel 6, there can be interference and multiple devices having to wait their turn to talk.
Well, I'll be reading xkcd on Tuesdays for the next few weeks to find out...
Probably, but depending on how it falls, it might also be diamond hail.
If this story was on the internet 150 years ago, they would have been excited about the oceans of liquid coal.
A practically limitless supply of coal, essential for rail transport and industry, we just need to build a 1.2 terameter long pipeline...
I, for one, found your comment funny.
Hipsters were around before it became so mainstream.
I think I picked it up at your garage sale.
It looks great on my shelf next to the UCSD p-System reference.
Very very short cheat sheet:
There is merit in learning more, but that gets you 96% of the core stuff you need to do.
You want to suspend the internet or end it? [[ confused ]]
Both show an immediate improvement, although the former has an implicit hope that someday running fg will be a viable option.
