Good for you. You might also take advantage of this additional exposure to build an audience.
Musicians can also tour and make money. It worked for the Grateful Dead for decades, and they were fine with fans taping their shows. It built their community of fervent supporters.
"A simple $10 part can cost you (at the dealership, of course) $1000 to get to and replace, the Ford Ranger/Explorer clutch slave cylinder INSIDE the transmission bellhousing...$30 part, $500 job, being a good example (most manufacturers put it on the outside). It also discourages the "shade-tree mechanics" from doing their own work."
The concentric slave cylinders were more likely some bean counter idea to save the cost of a clutch fork, pivot ball, and associated hardware. The quick-connect hydraulic fitting is a breeze to connect and would male for speedy assembly.
Never put down to malice what can be ascribed to total indifference to making a system friendly to maintainers. The company has only to build and sell the system at the highest practical profit. They don't give a shit about the line mechanic in their dealerships, let alone the home mechanic.
FWIW when doing comm/nav maintenance on (rather expensive) Air Force aircraft the harnesses, coax, and other connections are almost all hand-crimped. Been there, done that since a TDR weighed about 60 pounds not counting accessories.

So they adapt or croak. If a place becomes untenable, sentiment should go out the window/tent flap/whatever. People have a habit of living in areas that are marginal at best and spewing out lots of offspring to ensure both family survival and low quality of life. If they get displaced, that's their problem.
"I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence... I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor." Gandhi goes on further to state "But I believe that nonviolence is infinitely superior to violence, forgiveness is more manly than punishment. Forgiveness adorns a soldier...But abstinence is forgiveness only when there is the power to punish; it is meaningless when it pretends to proceed from a helpless creature....".

They cannot be suppressed if the inventor makes them instantly available under appropriate Free and Open licenses via the internet.
Youtube videos prove nothing Inventors should actually build a working model and offer it for testing by neutral third parties, and should furnish specific plans so anyone wishing to build their own example and test it in public can do so.
The Ravens were much faster than the Prowlers (and unlike them could keep up with fast strike packages), but something had to give in the budget crunch and they were complex, high-maintenance airframes.
They were in very high demand, hence "Deploy, Detox, Divorce" on their tent entrance door.
The post-Cold War drawdown cost a great amount of airframe diversity. Some of the replacements are not better at all things.
"most importantly, you don't put the pilots life at risk."
Pilots are willing to accept risk, but their losses are visible and politically damaging.
UAV losses don't matter much, and unlike pilots, UAVs don't get tired. A fighter pilot would be dangerously exhausted flying loitering missions that are routine for UAVs.
"No, the funny part is that the users who torrented and installed pirated copies of iWork 09 and Photoshop CS4 got exactly what they deserved. Instant karma."
So if I steal (OK, "bit-for-bit copy") a car and it steers into a pedestrian through a deliberate alteration in the vehicle that I copied, that's Instant Karma.

That's a trivial number of users. They can, if they wish, look into the many possible workarounds. If I want to run a Win2K machine, that's my problem. If I need it for a special app, then it will run that and I'll surf with another machine.

I would prefer nuclear be kept restricted and tightly controlled on land and kept to military use on the seas.

Unless you have flak pieces, good luck with that.

"Personally, I think this sort of lax infrastructure security has become endemic."
That's why the incident under discussion is a good thing in the way that cracker threats and viruses are good.
Without attacks there is little incentive to build robust systems.

Nice try. The F-35 is not a nuclear delivery system but a light tactical fighter-bomber.

What aspect? The Republican Party is still owned by the religious right and they can not be expected to give it back without a fight.
