I'm willing to bet the majority of the ones making actual physical threats are of age, probably 18-20. Those are the ones they'll make an example out of.
So the beauty of this would be to take the plasma bit and stick it on the end of the Hadron collider, right? You could significantly boost the energy and speed without rebuilding the entire collider by using a very tiny bit at the end. Is that correct?
GPS on cellular devices frequently does send data. The use of A-GPS where it uses tower triangulation in addition to the GPS signal is quite common on cellular devices. As a default they probably shut it down to avoid the device still trying to connect to the towers.
The whole move the SD card to/data/media was caused by Microsoft (the switch from away from exfat). The change you're talking about happened simultaneously. I don't know the reason for the multiple SD card BS but it's probably to allow multiple slots for devices like cameras that might have dual storage.
Legalization motivations can't so easily be tied to one factor.
There are many and people weigh them differently. There are just as people that think it's stupid to put people in jail for something that's less dangerous than alcohol as there are those that seek the tax revenue. There are other people that think laws shouldn't be intruding on what consenting adults want to do to themselves. There's another group that sees police resources wasn't policing cannabis use, not just in cost but time and the problems it causes with people respecting the law. And of course there is a group of people that just want to be able to smoke it. You just can't boil it down like you did.
Very few people realize that the war on drugs costs $12 billion dollars a year in police and incarceration expenses (without including court and societal costs, particularly the damage civil forfeiture does to the economy). Stop that expenditure and collect tax revenue on the transaction along with bringing all production back stateside and the economic benefits are tremendous but almost no one realizes it or in the case of the "think of the children" people even care about the cost. The hope is the frontier states like Colorado will show that legalization is not only safe but sane.
The counter weight is the media is doing their damndest to convince everyone kids are going to die BTW. How many times were you told on TV that marijuana edibles could be given out at Halloween and poison all the kids? Even though edibles have been available medically in many states for years now it's NEVER happened. You could even argue someone putting their $50 bag of THC gummies into some kids halloween bag is beyond reason, but the Media is playing this up for all it's worth. Think of the children damnit, cannabis is dangerous to them and some kid's going to end up dieing because cannabis is legal so we better hurry and ban it. Otherwise they might not have scary things to report about.
I like the quote but it's pretty easy to prove that banning cannabis was race related when they gave it the Spanish name rather than the proper English term when referencing it in legal documents. See Marijuana is that scary stuff those dirty spics and negroes use, if they had called it by the proper English name, Cannabis, convincing the public would have been far harder because Cannabis was used to make hemp rope, the highest quality rope available at the time.
Marriage in the US is a government institution, not a religious one. It is a government managed contract between individuals that grants automatic extensive contractual relationships that are recognized and enforced by the government. There are people in this country that want to keep those government contracts but deny them to groups of people and pretend that there is no equal protection. Equal protection requires that everyone be treated the same.
What that means is that either we allow everyone to marry anyone they want and obtain those government contracts or we do away with government marriage entirely. The former will only impact (mostly positively) people that are now able to execute those government contracts, the latter will have broad reaching and sustained impacts on all American families, and most of those impacts will be severely negative.
Personally, I'd rather we just honor our constitution rather than dramatically unwind hundreds of years of legal precedent and automatic protections granted by government recognized marriage.
Rightly or wrongly the Supreme Courts most recent ruling on the 2nd amendment essentially ignores the Militia part of the phrase.
What you interpret it to mean, or what previous precedents had ruled it to mean, has little bearing as the most recent ruling is the interpretation the courts will use.
So take the cash and immediately purchase new bitcoins so it can go up again. The courts don't hand over businesses physical assets to investors, they sell everything then disburse the cash so there's no claim that someone got treated unfairly.
You don't generally see cost estimates because it's in the pennies. But those pennies add up and if you can dump the tailings in someones farm in china versus having to landfill it in the US where in China there is a million or two addition revenue the CEO can pocket which one do you think they are going to choose? That's the reality of the vast majority of environmental laws, the costs are insignificant against the product price, but the cost of not disposing of the material properly is several orders of magnitude higher. Once you've dumped rare earth tailings (which contain ample toxic substances and heavy metals) you can't clean then up, they infiltrate ground water and migrate right into the food chain.
You are both right and both wrong. A typical generator is 500kw, but a plant has more than one generator, it was my understanding that it was typically from 2 to 4 generators per plant. So 1-2mw per plant and around 500kw per generator.
So how do you clean them? Do you send divers down several hundred feet to hand scrape a moving blade? Do you haul them to the surface? Do you haul them to dry dock like they do ships every 10 years?
Ships constantly scrape while at sea and are typically brought into dry dock every 10 years for a thorough cleaning with high pressure / high temperature cleaning. This isn't a ship, it's a stationary bit of metal underwater in some of the coldest water on the planet. It's not going to be spinning fast enough to puree living mater like a ships propeller and they get fouled and have to be cleaned by hand all the time.
Everything in water ends up covered in living matter. This isn't a problem for stationary non-moving/non-mechanical objects. It is a serious problem for anything mechanical that for example needs to spin freely. Every tidal or current generating scheme requires moving parts under water and that's a problem for anything that isn't operating at puree speed.
The costs of such anti biological technology has sunk every under water power generation scheme. The floating tidal generators were fouled by kelp and ocean debris. The ones that took in water with the waves got clogged. And the lifetime on these systems wasn't even 6 months before they were fouled.
Ships are coated in horribly toxic materials and even so they have to be scraped near constantly at sea and most are pulled into dry dock every 10 years for a full high pressure high temperature cleaning. How do you clean these underwater generators? Do you send out drivers or haul them back to the surface and clean them? Both are wickedly expensive. I'm skeptical they will ever find the technology to basically prevent all life and prevent fouling by all the life floating around.
Any underwater installation will face the same challenges as Tidal power, that is what to do about the biologicals. The ocean is teaming with life and it will literally grow on anything. What do you do when the entire underwater "windmill" is covered in barnacles? Every underwater generation scheme is toasted by the life problem. None of them are tolerant of all the sea life that will grow on and around the facility.
Debian is neither a really good desktop (older, more mature packages, which means spottier driver support), nor a really good server.
Bollocks. Debian is an EXCELLENT server. It's stable, bug reports are fixed quickly and the software is well tested. If you want a reliable server Debian is where it's at. Based on the number of Debian Servers out there in the wild I'm not alone in my feelings about Debian.
Your option is the exact same option you have now which is to start syslog and let it capture text logs just like it does now. I fail to see how it is a demonstrable bad thing that you have a binary log being created as well.
The examples provided are illegal. But that's not even the standard that should be used because it's the combination of actions and intention that can make something illegal even when those actions without specific intent isn't illegal.
The simplest way to test if what they did was wrong and illegal is what the reaction would have been if a private citizen had done the same thing to the FBI. If the answer to that question is that the private citizen would have been arrested and prosecuted then what the FBI did WAS illegal and all the agents involved and their supervisors should be punished if not fired. The FBI, nor any law enforcement agency has the right to willy nilly break the law, though many think they do (such as the street police officer that will flip his lights on to run a light he doesn't want to wait at then immediately filp them right off which is a clear abuse of their emergency privilege and illegal in almost every jurisdiction). The only time a law enforcement officer should be allowed to break the law is when they've been given the OK by a court to do so in a limited circumstance with a defined purpose operating under a duly issued warrant. Anything else and the police believe they are above the law and when they aren't prosecuted for it that only serves as justification to the public and the officers themselves that they are above the law.
The gators were just an example, I realize that they have proliferated quite well and are no longer in any danger of extinction and if anything a pest now. It wasn't just the gators, there were all kinds of birds and other wildlife within the cape.
Other than the small launch facilities and the roads they had built 50 years ago the place is pretty darn well protected from humans and there is extensive wildlife all over the place. It's probably one of the few places in Florida that because of security restrictions sees very little direct human impact which results in a flourishing and diverse wildlife population. There we so many birds (and such a diverse group of species) in the place it just blew me away.
I received a tour of the restricted launch site areas due to my company have a contract with NASA at cape Canaveral. This was just after 9/11 when everything was shut down for security reasons (I have a photo of myself standing in front of the Apollo 1 launch pad memorial). The photos I saw were less than a year old. I can't say more but the launch was a failed classified launch and that may very well be the reason the bunkers were still used.
I don't know why they use them, I don't know why they need to be so close but I do know what I saw. A bunker heavily damaged (and all the surrounding vegetation was burned to the roots) where the damage was very recent. He also showed us photo's of the burned out cars, minivans and pickups taken by our "tour guide" who worked for our company and was giving us a tour of the cape. I may have pictures of the launch bunkers somewhere, but there was one next to every cluster of pads that I remember seeing. I can't recall if our guide ever said why they used the bunkers, 15 years ago is more than my memory can handle for such mundane details.
There is one thing I'll never forget about the cape though, which was how well preserved the wetlands are because NASA is using so little of the ground. There were alligators sunning themselves on nearly every road we went down.
There is generally a launch monitoring bunker within a few hundred feet of the pad. This bunker is populated by scientists and engineers during the launch so that they can abort the launch immediately if a problem develops. At least at NASA, these people drive their own personal cars to the bunker. The bunker is hardened to survive rocket debris impacting the building but the parking lot is just that, an open lot. NASA has burned up LOTS of cars with exploding rockets. I saw pictures of about 20 some odd cars burned right to their frames after they were doused in burning rocket fuel from a rocket that exploded. I have no idea who bought them new cars but I know I would have been expecting someone else to pick up the tab if it had been my car.
Personally, I've met very few police that believed in rights and due process beyond what's necessary to get "the bad guy". The law is what they say it is. Given our government has kidnapped people on the streets of foreign nations, flown them in captivity to other countries where they tortured people and not only that but blown up American citizens with missiles from remotely controlled aircraft over foreign countries I don't actually put much weight that they wouldn't commit murder if they thought it was the right thing to do. There is nothing scarier than someone that will commit evil acts because they think they are doing the right thing and our government is full of those people right now.
But after all there is a big step between a car bomb and a car accident. If you don't understand that difference there is little reason to discuss it because you rely on straw men and lying about what other people said which makes you a very small person.

It is NOT illegal to manufacture firearms for personal use. He's not doing anything illegal by marketing to that purpose.
He's not doing anything illegal. I'm sure he'd welcome the ATF coming after him because he would spank their ass in court.
It is not illegal to manufacture your own firearms for personal use. Anyone can do it.
