So then, register in the system. Take some un-eventful trips then pack the samsonite with semtex? Past behavior and plastic cards are no insurance against future actions. Remember most of the 9/11 hijackers had valid ID. Besides while the US may not have a National ID, it does have a unique identifier for everyone, the SSN#, and each State does require an ID that must be presented to law enforcement on demand or to receive any services from that state. National ID in the US would be redundant.
If you run a brick and mortar target shooting or bird watching supply store, you are required to have accessible facilties for your customers. Your restroom must be of a certain size to allow wheelchair access etc. Why should your business be exempt from accessibilty requirements and costs when other businesses aren't?
About time, recently restarted seti@home after a lengthy absence and the work units were dated 1999. While the project is interesting, who wants to re-analyze 3 year old data for the 1000th time.
When are these guys going to realize that some of us don't want to do business with people who threaten us and accuse their customers of being criminals. They just lost my dollar.
There used to be an annual race like this that ended in 1989 I believe when parts of the area became National Park. So the Machines already have more rights than us Citizens?
ATT already doesn't allow home users to run servers. It is unlikely they will do so under this new plan which seems to come from a desire to maximize the profit from their existing infrastructure and not to provide any enhanced service to their customers.
Coming from a country with a PM who has been convicted three times of serious charges that would have ended his political career in a real country. This is just more "Bread and Circuses" for the masses while corruption continues to rule that country. Besides they need a diversion to try and take their minds off of their poor showing in last month's World Cup.
The problem with trying to care about politcs, especially the election campaign in the U.S., is the lack of meaningful, viable options and the total coruption of the system by corporate money and influence. The corporations own the government and the government still has the guns, so basically we are screwed. Denial is a common reaction to an overwhelming situation.

The 90 minutes or so it will take 911 to answer the phone, and police to be dispatched and arrive?
Dunno, you seem pretty shady to me. See you in the camps.

Don't think pepper spray would work in Thailand. They'd prolly use it for hot sauce.

Comcast IS ATT. So expect the same.

I say great, let's give the battlefield entirely over to them and let the people stay home.

There probably go the rebates I've been waiting 6 and 8 months for from Diamond.
