It's ironic but not "proof of" patriarchy. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and sometimes a redundant interview in a documentary piece is just a redundant interview. If there were five women and five men interviewed, and their inclusion were chosen by coin toss, with a man-heavy lopsided result, would that "prove" the patriarchy of coins? Of statistics?

For starters, I don't consider mobile/wireless service to be comparable to wired. So I don't know and don't count them as competition.
Do you disagree that many or most homes in the US have 2 or fewer choices for ISP? I'd be very surprised if that weren't true. If you tell me you don't believe it, I'll look more. Do you disagree that cable companies don't usually have quasi-monopoly status in the US, whether contractually agreed to or by virtue of owning infrastructure (like telephone poles) where it's impractical or impossible to add a parallel infrastructure?
If you disagree with something, go out on a limb and dispute it. Don't take a bullshit passive-aggressive stance where you demand more information from someone without explicitly challenging their premise.
It's not "free competition" if ISPs have quasi-monopoly status - as they do in most areas of the US. It's also not "free competition" when a cable company can degrade the content of its competitors. I'm generally a free-market guy but seeing what Comcast et al did prior to the NN rule, we can expect more of the same.
This is status quo for some time in other places too, I've been through US Customs at an airport in the Bahamas - allows plane to avoid international terminal at destination, and long Customs wait there.
He didn't say that. He said that there were rapists, etc coming across the border - and in the same breath he said he was sure there were good people too. "There are criminals among those evading border controls" != "all Mexicans are rapists"
During full and new moons, Sun - Earth - moon ( or Sun - moon - Earth ) are aligned in a line. That's when their combined tidal forces are at a maximum
"All manner of restrictions that keep it from competing..."
What?! You mean their guaranteed monopoly? Please. Get rid of that and let private companies take over the dwindling snail mail business. Most of USPS income is from junk mail - let it die.
So you think it's a stretch to assume that if BB would share the key with the Canadian Feds for a murder case, they would also do so for the US Feds for terrorism/the children/WOD/Snowden/etc/etc/etc? Please
"One major reason for that is -- you guessed it -- the strong native security."
Blackberries are more secure in many ways than iPhones. They certainly have more remotely manageable security, and can be more locked down, feature-wise.
> but you're always allowed to own a gun if you own your own home
That's not true everywhere. No state forbids ownership (though it's certainly more difficult in some states than in others) but certain municipalities deny ownership to many or most who seek it. Chicago did for many years until its laws were ruled unconstitutional. Same with Wahington, D.C., which changed its laws after losing in court.
In New York City it's still very difficult to own a weapon even just to keep at one's residence. It has high application fees and applicants can be denied for seemingly arbitrary reasons.
So there's no place where it's automatically forbidden for everyone, but it's certainly not true that a person is always allowed to everywhere in the US.
Usually that's true. State laws forbidding neglect or endangerment of children were being used (for example) to charge parents who let their children walk to the park with a crime. So the law isn't so much to say that parents are allowed to do X but that states are not allowed to charge parents who do X with a crime.
If you live in a place where even most law enforcement doesn't carry weapons, then it must be nearly free of violent crime.
I don't "feel safe in [my] country openly waving [my] gun around" because 1) I don't live in a state where ordinary people are allowed to carry them and 2) if I did it would be concealed carry.
"statistically I'm much safer and much less likely to be locked up by the government in mine" - no argument here, the USA locks up more people per capita than anyone, IIRC. And that's mostly due to out stupid War on Drugs, which is also where a lot of the violent crime comes from.
That's nice. Do they tuck you in at night, too? I don't know where you live, but go find one of the people you're entrusting your life to who does carry a gun and ask them if they'd trade it for a "Smart Gun".
It's really a separate discussion but in the US, our highest court has affirmed that the police don't have an obligation to respond promptly to a call or prevent crimes in commission when they're reported.
The *only* thing making BB/BES attractive to the only audience it has left - enterprise business - is its more finely-grained device management. BB10+BES allows a device to be much more tightly controlled and locked-down than an IOS / Android/ Windows Mobile device. Without that, there's no reason to limit yourself to the Blackberry device or BES's MDM.

I donâ(TM)t know too much about roads but houses have changed. HVAC systems are much more efficient. Windows too.
So it doesn't "pull water out of the air" ... at least not until the water from burning the biomass is released into the air.
