Japan had a bubble economy, much like the dotcom bubble in the USA. However, their ridiculous banking laws, and the Japanese reluctance to let corporations fail, resulted in their economy never recovering from the bust. 15 years later, they're still stuck. Economists call Japan's economy a "zombie economy", and that's about the best description I've seen. It merely continues, it does not gain any new life.
I think that spools of razor wire might violate your deed restrictions, much less annihilate countless squirrels, birds, rabbits, etc.
If I put a fence of any kind around my property, and post "No Trespassing" signs every 50 yards, that's what the law says is "reasonable". You're assuming that property owners have some sort of telepathy that will allow them to divine the intent of any intruders. It doesn't work that way. Anyone making a choice to break the law and ignore the sign is demonstrating ill intent. They *are* a threat, and the courts all agree on this one.
And I don't buy that "foreigner" excuse for a second. I live in China, where I can't read a damn thing, and if there's a fence with a big black and red sign on it, and I ignore it and jump the fence, well it's my own damn problem. You seem to imply that it's the property owner's problem that I can't read Chinese.
Also, you are never allowed to protect your property with deadly force
Please read that again and tell me where it's state-specific. Face it, you're ignorant outside of your little sphere. Giving legal advice to people isn't a good idea when you have no idea what you're talking about.
I see a man break into my property. He is coming towards my house where my children are. Oh, I guess I'll use TELEPATHY, and divine that he only wants to steal some apples from me, and not that he has a 9mm tucked into the small of his back.
The action IS proportional to the threat. If you're on my property, YOU ARE THREATENING ME. I have the right to respond with the force that the law allows. You have the right to stay off my land. It's very simple.
Well, point being that the box will run perfectly well without recompiling. Sure, it's got some extra stuff, but as you say yourself, it's not for efficiency, it's because you like to do it.
C'mon, how many end-users really need to recompile a kernel for a needed feature? Most people who compile kernels are just wanking it for their own satisfaction, the box would be fine with the kernel Redhat or SuSE or whatever happened to get installed from the CD.
If you break the law, you are assumed to have ill intent. This is first-semester law course stuff. Why else would you be breaking the law?
There's this ingenious device known as a "telephone" that allows you to contact property owners and request permission to enter. There's also another tech called a "letter" that works equally well, but I didn't think it would go over with the tech-savvy crowd here, so I almost didn't mention it.
I know, I know...laws that are inconvenient aren't meant to be followed in the first place...that's why they keep them in moldy old books.
Do you really think the gangstas care which car they steal for a joyride? Or worse, to commit another crime with. Do you really want to know that your insecure car contributed to a violent crime?
Have you read the Penal Code? Slightly truncated version below, from Chapter 9, section 9.42
A person is
justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:
when and to the degree he reasonably believes the
deadly force is immediately necessary:
to prevent the other's imminent commission of
arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the
nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; or
to prevent the other who is fleeing
immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated
robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the
property; and
he reasonably believes that:
the land or property cannot be protected or
recovered by any other means; or
the use of force other than deadly force to
protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or
another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.
So, if you're commiting a crime at night, you're fair game. I feel sorry for thieves and murderers in Texas, whenever they go to work, they're taking their lives in their hands.
Maybe they shouldn't have ignored the "No Trespassing" signs posted on the property? Where's personal responsibility? Let me guess, you don't own any property, and dwell in a large city.
Yes, it would have ensured the safety of the rest of the world. Unfortunately, the Manhattan Project was full of Communist sympathizers, and they were horrified at the thought of the USA's advantage. So, they gave the weapon to the other side, and the world lived in fear of a nuclear holocaust for the next 50 years.
Give them what they're always demanding in talks - oil, food, resources, a non-agression pact with the USA, and the freedom to export anything [arms] to any nation they choose.

Also, try living out in the countryside where the nearest police are 40 minutes away, and won't even come out for trespassing calls.

Anyway, I thought I'd entertain you with a couple of quotes from one of your heroes.
"Every Communist must grasp the truth, 'Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun'"
--Mao Tse-Tung
Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party.
--Mao Tse-Tung
"If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun."
--The Dalai Lama

Gosh, could that be THE ENTIRE REASON the company was founded IN THE FIRST PLACE???
Okay, now you're just trolling. You realize how ridiculous that sounds?

Wow...after five huge revisions, and countless years of work, MS has an operating system that doesn't crash (often)! What a great reason to like them.

This doesn't seem like a person qualified to vote. Can somebody go over to his place and take his voter's card away?
This doesn't seem like a person who uses free speech in the way it was intended. Can someone go over and revoke his right to speak?
"I'm a thirty-second bomb! I'm a thirty-second bomb! Twenty-nine, twenty-eight, twenty-seven..."
Nah, raise taxes again. Government will save us, with its "sound" policies. Ever hear of a problem that was fixed by politicans doing something?
Criminals don't like light. Proper property illumination is often required by insurance companies.

Take the battery inside at night??? Those things weigh like 40 pounds.

Funny that a lawyer doesn't seem to know that laws like this are state-specific.

- Surface-to-surface missiles
- Guided air-to-air missiles
- Jet fighter planes and jet bombers
- Airplanes transparent to radar
- Information science (before computers)
- Encryption technology (only comprimised due to physical reasons, i.e. someone stole one)
And many others. It's scary to think of what would have happened if they had a few more years to develop before attacking the world."I aim at the stars, but sometimes I hit London."
