Wait! Let me get this straight. If you own a 250 gram toy drone you need to register it because it could be dangerous? But if you own an assault rifle with 100 round magazine you don't need to register it. Yes, only in America.
No all legal assault rifles owned by civilians are registered in the US and require a in depth background check by the FBI and a tax stamp, gun dealer licence, and large transfer fees. Assault rifles are full automatic (pull trigger bullets fly until you let go), what are unregistered is semi-automatic (one pull one bullet) and manual (pump action, lever action, etc), semi-automatic and manual require a background check and often a waiting period, unless you have a concealed carry permit in that state or dealer licence (in which cases you have already passed the background checks). The only firearms that do not require a background check at some stage are black powder firearms in most states.
Additionally we have a constitutional provision protecting right to own firearms. But we have no such constitutional protection for ownership of RC toys.
Which will be kind of tragic because they will leave a void behind that it may take a few years to fill.
I doubt it would take years, it will be much faster, You have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, HBO-GO, Crackle, Youtube(Red), Vudu, Red-box, iTunes and more all hosting content. The larger content farms (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon,) are all making original content now. The Movie Studios are all still pumping content out like there is no tomorrow (they claim that they are getting less money but that’s the Hollywood accounting at work and as well as a way to attack piracy) Big cable/satilite will die because no one wants to watch their 500 channels of shitty reallity show and paid adverts. But the studios will survive and the big old networks will survive because of news/sports/weather/local/people that cant afford faster internet and higher data caps.
Because BIOS is pretty much deprecated now as Microsoft decided that if manufacturers want to install windows on their PC then it has to have a UEFI compliant motherboard, and as that is to lucrative of a market to ignore they have all complied.
There are even Nazi websites and a Nazi party in the US, and the government does nothing about it! That way there is only the citizenry's common sense to prevent the Nazi to grab power there!
And surprisingly that hasn't backfired. yet...
Probably because Nazis are the only group that virtually every non-member would unquestionably define as evil.
"Asimov has a shit loads material. So does Heilein."
Asimov? Because they did so well with 'I Robot' and "Bicentennial Man", right? And The Movie About Night Falling That Shall Be Unnamed? I've no trust in ANYONE producing a good Asimov film *OR* a TV series.
And Heinlein? Do you not remember Starship Troopers? Or Puppet Masters? At least the latter had Donald Sutherland (and he nailed the 'old man') but it otherwise sucked. At least "All you zombies" had a "respectable" attempt last year with Predestination so maybe all is not lost here...
Bicentennial Man was descent as far as movie adaptations go.the I Robot movie was bad fan-fiction of Asimov. But I do cringe when I hear they want to make adaptions of things like foundation series, that a clearly not written in such a way as to make good movies. Now if they would do the robot series (these might be interesting as kinda scifi/film noir) or even maybe some of the empire books it could be interesting.
Heinlein as long as you ignore the his fetish for fascism or blatant racism, can be okay.
I have nothing to hide, and neither should you. Anything to make this dangerous world a bit safer.

Pay Oracle lots and lots of money to say they have Oracle and drive their IT guys insane from all I have seen.
If there were no dealers then I would have to just pay whatever chevy decides I should pay in my area. When I have 3 or 4 dealers to choose from then competition comes into play and I can get a better price. Its not a perfect system but it does serve a purpose.
Or you could go to Ford, Toyota, Honda, Tesla, etc, they will still have to compete. Beyond that there will always be used car dealerships creigslist and the classifieds section in the local paper.
Additionally if you absolutely must have the latest Chevy you already have to pay what Chevy says you have to pay plus what ever the local dealer can out of it for his cut.
My coffee maker can be set to start at a given time and needs no internet or network connections it simply has a built in clock why complicate things farther? as for reheats the pot is vacuum insulated. It gives me a notification to it beeps.

Jell-O wrestling?
What street fighting against orangutans? I would watch this.
They'll change or they will die.
My guess is they will die.

Liberal pansy.
The only solution is to simply take everything down to the Darien gap, than build a wall and minefields, which will be much shorter.
Shush!!! Don't say that aloud you will give presidential candidates ideas.

Why would anyone use EFI?

Why the fuck would I want an Aspie woman?
We're not lesser humans looking for compatible breeding stock retard.
Because shared experience and understanding can make living with someone easier due to not needing to keep up the normal act around each other?
Ha! You used a dollar sign instead of an 'S'!
I like the cut of your job, funnyman!
I believe that would be "cut of your jib" not job.

How do they plan to investigate just you by accessing the data from your Internet connection?
Man in the Middle attack
That may include data of other people.
Yes that is the plan.
