but not having easier access, or in some cases even the option of GSM is a clear case of US corporations screwing the general population
Why? My phone works fine. I travel a lot - Las Vegas, Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, San Antonio, TX and a lot of small towns in-between. My phone works everywhere I go. It even worked on a recent trip to Mexico (but I had to pay roaming). I have a plan with nationwide roaming, free long distance, 350 anytime minutes, 3000 night and weekend minutes, voice mail and more for about $40 a month.
Every time there is a story posted about cell technology - a lot of people post things like "I can take my phone from Berlin, Germany to Oslo, Norway and it works fine." Good for you. You went 500 miles and your phone still worked and you got to pay roaming charges. I travel from my home (Bloomington, Indiana) to San Antonio, TX (a distance of 1200 miles) a couple times a year to visit family and my phone works fine and I don't pay any roaming charges. I also go to Las Vegas at least once a year for work (a distance of 1850 miles from home) and my phone works great and still no roaming charges. For the most part Americans don't mind that their phone standard is incompatible with the rest of the world, because we don't go there. That isn't meant to start a flame war about how Americans don't know that the rest of the world exists. It is just a simple fact that this is a very large country that is separated by large distances from most other countries.
What I am saying is I know from experience that mental health treatment doesn't work that way. That would be viewed as validating their delusion and it (in general) wouldn't happen. This was the first thing they taught us in orientation - don't feed their delusions.
The best way to describe "modern" mental health treatment is "tough love". They would force the patient to deal with the pain in a way that fits into societal norms - which does not include speaking Klingon. The cost of mental health doesn't usually enter into the determination of treatments.
My guess is that you have absolutely no experience working with the seriously mentally ill. IANAP (psychiatrist) but I did work for a year and a half as an orderly on a locked psych unit. A person that came into a hospital that would only speak Klingon would be in for a quick trip to the padded room. After a diagnosis of probably Psychosis or Schizoaffective Disorder (and more than likely a secondary of Personality Disorder) they would be prescribed an appropriate medication (either an antipsychotic like Haldol or a mood regulator like Prozac or lithium) and a few weeks of inpatient treatment and counseling. The last thing that they would do would be to play into their delusion.
When I think about it - I don't so much dislike COBOL as I absolutely hated every project that I worked on. They were all accounting/payroll systems and mostly doing maintenance programming. This is the same reason I don't like RPG.
Once you swipe a template from a working COBOL program (to get the Identification Division and the beginning of the Environment Division) and get everything in the correct columns it starts flowing pretty well. The thing that I liked most about COBOL was that if you had a flowchart it was really easy to convert that to a working program. I should add that I haven't worked with COBOL for several years (before the OO and intactive COBOL efforts).
The one language that I can say without a doubt that I hated was JCL. For those of you that don't know JCL stands for job control language.

That is why I said that you need slightly more bandwidth than the maximum data rate. Most of the time DVDs run between 5 and 7.5 Mbps with peaks to a max of 10 Mbps for sequences with a lot of movement. So even with a 10 Mbps connection a temporary network problem shouldn't affect the playback of your movie

You don't need to download a movie in 5 seconds to rent a move over the net. You only need to go slightly faster than real time. In theory you could make it in exactly real time but in practice it doesn't work that way. DVDs are variable bit rate with a maximum rate of 10 Mbps so 11 Mbps should make it.
There is a reason that I said "In the state of Indiana". In Indiana there is only one definition of murder. If it doesn't fit there it is covered by something else. These laws change from state to state. Although it turns out that I was wrong about the example. The Indiana code has a specific provision for someone dieing during a burglary. Here is the state code from Indiana.
IC 35-42-1-1
Murder
Sec. 1. A person who:
(1) knowingly or intentionally kills another human being;
(2) kills another human being while committing or attempting to commit arson, burglary, child molesting, consumer product tampering, criminal deviate conduct, kidnapping, rape, robbery, or carjacking;
(3) kills another human being while committing or attempting to commit:
(A) dealing in or manufacturing cocaine, a narcotic drug, or methamphetamine (IC 35-48-4-1);
(B) dealing in a schedule I, II, or III controlled substance (IC 35-48-4-2);
(C) dealing in a schedule IV controlled substance (IC 35-48-4-3); or
(D) dealing in a schedule V controlled substance; or
(4) knowingly or intentionally kills a fetus that has attained viability (as defined in IC 16-18-2-365);
commits murder, a felony.
As added by Acts 1976, P.L.148, SEC.2. Amended by Acts 1977, P.L.340, SEC.25; P.L.326-1987, SEC.2; P.L.296-1989, SEC.1; P.L.230-1993, SEC.2; P.L.261-1997, SEC.3; P.L.17-2001, SEC.15.
Here is the code for involuntary manslaugher.
IC 35-42-1-4
Involuntary manslaughter
Sec. 4. (a) As used in this section, "child care provider" means a person who provides child care in or on behalf of:
(1) a child care center (as defined in IC 12-7-2-28.4); or
(2) a child care home (as defined in IC 12-7-2-28.6);
regardless of whether the child care center or child care home is licensed.
(b) As used in this section, "fetus" means a fetus that has attained viability (as defined in IC 16-18-2-365).
(c) A person who kills another human being while committing or attempting to commit:
(1) a Class C or Class D felony that inherently poses a risk of serious bodily injury;
(2) a Class A misdemeanor that inherently poses a risk of serious bodily injury; or
(3) battery; commits involuntary manslaughter, a Class C felony. However, if the killing results from the operation of a vehicle, the offense is a Class D felony.
(d) A person who kills a fetus while committing or attempting to commit:
(1) a Class C or Class D felony that inherently poses a risk of serious bodily injury;
(2) a Class A misdemeanor that inherently poses a risk of serious bodily injury; or
(3) battery;
commits involuntary manslaughter, a Class C felony. However, if the killing results from the operation of a vehicle, the offense is a Class D felony.
(e) If:
(1) a child care provider recklessly supervises a child; and
(2) the child dies as a result of the child care provider's reckless supervision;
the child care provider commits involuntary manslaughter, a Class D felony. As added by Acts 1976, P.L.148, SEC.2. Amended by Acts 1977, P.L.340, SEC.28; P.L.261-1997, SEC.5; P.L.133-2002, SEC.65.
I guess I should add that like most other people around here - IANAL.
In the state of Indiana - causing a death while in commission of another crime is involuntary manslaughter. A charge of murder requires premeditation of the act of murder. So by your example - if I walk into a convince store with a gun and some old guy dies of a heart attack there is no premeditation for murder. Premeditation could be anything from I planned for three weeks that I was going to kill someone to I decided 5 seconds before I pulled the trigger.
Actually, their servers seem to be standing up pretty well. There were ~200 posts when I tried to download it. It took me a couple of tries on each page but I got through. I would estimate 10 minutes of filling out forms and clicking reload and about 30 minutes to download at > 200KB/s.
The routers for the I2 backbone in the US are managed by the Abilene NOC at IUPUI. I went to a meeting about a year ago where they talked about setting up the Indiana GigaPOP and replacing all of the routers with Juniper T640s.
This is as I remember it from about 15 years ago. I was 15 at the time.
There were pictures on the news for weeks of dead bodies. The entire Iran-Iraq war was covered every day on the news. There were atrocities by both sides.
That's not the way I remember it (I was ~15 at the time). He dropped mustard and nerve gas on a Kurdish village because he suspected they were aiding the Iranians in the Iran-Iraq war.

I think that the Oklahoma City bombing proves that we don't have to look very far to find people will to attack us.
The Pentiums started at 60 then 66 then 75 MHz. There were some 486 chips that were over 100MHz including the IBM Blue Thunder line.
And knowing is half the battle.
The problem with your analogy to software is that the hacker doesnâ(TM)t have a vested interest in whether the computer crashes.

I thing they are probably referring to the "Bring Out Your Dead" scene.
Sorry - I prefer my documentaries to be based in fact.
