and besides if you are a big enough corp you can always get any source from MS you need (under NDA with a contract defining what you get how you get it and to whom in the company the code is given)
and when you are talking about the US.GOV they have a very quick way of getting stuff from a US.COM called "DOJ or DOD pick who blocks your products from sale"
and you could also have a flash key with your SSH utility that could be used to login from any other computer (heck with the price of flashkeys these days you could have your entire software stack on the key and a good bit of data)
plus if they find Y (or evidence of Y) during a search for X they can in fact ring up a judge to ammend the warrant to include Y or W or Z or... this can also be used to expand the search area if evidence supports same (they have a warrant for your house but not grounds and they see something in the house that points to your shed in the garden having evidence they can get the warrant expanded to include the grounds (which they should have had anyway)
There is the concept of "Fail safe" if the system is down (for reset reloading or whatever) then the folks up in C&C know that its down and can do other things but if its "working perfectly" but is in fact not then the folks in C&C don't know this (and land up going boom).
besides a properly built EMBEDDED MILITARY GRADE system should not take more than a couple minutes to "reboot" so you have a couple F16s in the air patrolling to watch for incoming "stuff"
okay so if the C&C systems had the kill switch function buried in the 80,000,000 lines of missile code and used the normal radio if they could find the kill routine they most likely could make the missile themselves.
there is a galaxy of difference between a contractual and requested prioritizing of traffic and an ISP shaping a network to block competing vendors services or interfering with traffic on the network. examples 1 on my control panel i elect to have my VPN and VOIP be given a set amount of bandwidth --- this is requested 2 my isp decides to shape traffic so that third party VOIP and VPN services fail 85% of the time --- this is not requested and should be illegal 3 my isp decides to flood the network with reset packets and false routing to jam Torrent and other P2P traffic or drops my IP address during ftp sessions ----- should be illegal
giving a customer what they want is one thing trying to sell bundle services by degrading third parties is another interfering with traffic just to cut costs and increase bonuses you need to have a 9 chevron address to get to
Network Nuetrality is at its core Function as an Internet Service Provider and keep out of what is on the network UNLESS IT IS PART OF THE CONTRACT (or flat out straight up illegal to be on the network and then provide LEOs with what they need)
Most casinos will pick you up from the airport and give you 720 comps just to have you prove how badly your system sucks. And of course if you are in that Whale Class whatever you win will be paid back by the 10,000 minnows you helped shake down.
and of course don't forget back in the day casino security did not exactly concern themselves with "legal problems".
merge 2 points of view with X values about 3 inches apart and then you would be looking at a 3d model (btw this is what you would need to do for the glasses to work)
And we have 1 fatal accident (note this may have been a suicide) in the entire history of the US nuclear program. "Fun" Trivia time 2 of the men that died are buried in nuclear rated vaults due to the fact that their bodies are to this day dangerously radioactive (one is in Arlington the other was buried at home) both have notes filed stating "SUBJECT: Internment of Radioactive Remains
TO: Superintendent Arlington National Cemetery Arlington 11, Virginia
1. Radioactive remains of SP4 Richard L. McKinley were interred at Arlington National Cemetery on 25 January 1961.
2. It is desired that the following remark be placed on the permanent record, DA Form 2122, Record of Internment:
"Victim of nuclear accident. Body is contaminated with long-life radio-active isotopes. Under no circumstances will the body be moved from this location without prior approval of the Atomic Energy Commission in consultation with this headquarters."

Google Wave (as soon as they open it up to the unwashed masses) has as one of its big features that the "Legacy Services" are invited to the party. To this day you could write out on a parchment with a Quill Pen a message seal it with a wax seal and then hand it to a guy that can hop on a horse and then ride to another guy that will ride to another guy (loop here several times) and then hand it to whomever you wanted it to go to.
Someday Email will be seen as being just as quaint but stuff that works should not be discarded just because its "old" (because its dangerous yes because its illegal yes but just because its old NO).
difference between being polite and being run over by the other persons beliefs. Me i pretty much define WASP (primarily Irish Non Southern Baptist) but 1 Im all for any kind of irish jokes (the best irish joke i know is my Father) 2 If i ever design or otherwise have any say with a public building (not a church) i will make sure that somebody finds a Qibala Compass and marks Mecca 3 Im also for any short jokes (im 5 foot 6 btw and weigh about 220)
Now you need to be able to take any jokes swinging your way also
Joke about faith joke within the family but Joke about Doctrine and there will be HELL TO PAY
kind of slid a bit on the fact that class 5 servers are Quad?? core systems but yes its 1 region per core for 4 regions per box (but Homesteads and OpenSpace sims are stacked like 4 to a core).
btw my last name is McCallen inworld if you want to chat further about the Wise Laws of the Holy Lindens.
are you going to upgrade to a Class 6 server when they start deploying??
Most of the Problems are sort of being handled in SecondLife by working with a "Grid"
1Each sim/region has its "stuff" running on a single computer (for full level regions Homesteads and OpenSpace regions are "stacked") 2 Player inventory is on a separate set of servers 3 communications is also on a separate set of servers (in fact i think text and voice are also separate)
Of course this is not all working perfectly but it does scale since SL has a running average of about 50K-70K logged in accounts and most of the time server updates are the only times that a sim will be down for more than 5 minutes.
not going to dump the whole thing but "There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy."
The policy does have to be visibly posted but otherwise all bets are off.
In fact most of the lindens have more than one avatar (prelinden avatar and then the linden avatar). If a Company has a Formal Presence In-World then they should have a Storage Area where a person can pick up an "approved" avatar. Oh btw an AnthroMorph/Feral Avatar can be more professional that a lot of "human" avatars.
In fact in the FTC filings REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW when giving the numbers for a corporation there is always a line item (or line items) labeled "good will" and in many cases its not a small number at all. and of course in the tax write offs for say Budwieser they list off all of the charities they gave to (and the number of times they had to hit the STOP BEER!! button to bottle water for some disaster or another).
lack of a "Good Will" number (or a small number) is a sign of a dieing company (i think TSCOG lists a nonzero amount of good will and you know how they are doing)

What do casino owners call a man with a system??

Most casinos will pick you up from the airport and give you 720 comps just to have you prove how badly your system sucks.
And of course if you are in that Whale Class whatever you win will be paid back by the 10,000 minnows you helped shake down.
and of course don't forget back in the day casino security did not exactly concern themselves with "legal problems".
and this kind of lack of due diligence creates a problem that would be an insult to any real Mickey-Mouse (tm) operation

I see you are about to fry this patient like an egg (doseage set for multiples of normal protocol)
would you like me to

2 book you a flight to africa
3 call your lawyer now

or
You Are about to kill this patient [cancel] or [allow]

have the "beer" then wake up five minutes later redressed...
