So the Americans decide they need to steal the blueprints of the new advanced fighter jet from the Russians, build it, and learn all its secrets. They send their best spies and they manage to steal a set of blueprints. The best minds get to work, study the blueprints, manufacture all the parts, and assemble them, producing a bulldozer. They scratch their heads, disassemble the thing, check all the parts, measurements and instructions. They reassemble everything again and get a bulldozer. So they figure they are missing some crucial information that's not in the blueprints and decide they need to kidnap a Russian engineer who was part of the program and make him work on it. Again, the best spies get to work and manage to kidnap a Russian engineer. They pay him a lot of money and he gets to work. He checks all the blueprints and measurements, directs the assembly, and produces a bulldozer. Then he looks at the blueprints and points to some tiny print at the bottom of the last sheet that says "use a file to finish the project." ( ) (use a file to remove imperfections?)
Why do I need to pack my laptop and drive an hour in traffic to work on it in a stupid office? Save the Earth, cut down on pollution by stopping this insanity!
... is what will be done about it. Russia scored some cheap points with their population by doing something almost juvenile and all the "adults" in NATO can do is call this irresponsible and unprofessional. Same thing happens when Russian planes buzz US/NATO planes in international airspace. Whatcha gonna do?
So, these people were just walking by, minding their own business, when bad cops with helmets just descended on them with batons and started beating them? Is that the story?
So, cops beating an "innocent" person was the first example you came up with? Not "thieves breaking into ATM machine"? Or "bank robbers"?
Tells me a lot about you.
I still think HalfKeyboard is a better idea

I don't work for them, nor do I own a stake in the company
But I do like their idea better. What I hate about HalfKeyboard is that you have to buy one for the desktop, one for the PDA ( and if you have Palm V and VII, you need to get two keyboards). Otherwise, it's a better solution even for those who need any kind of feedback from the keyboard or to look at the keys.

Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to install a few towers vs. running wire/fiber into remote areas?

They just bought MLab. This may be aimed at competition to force them to buy licenses.
... and then reverse the ban/allow buttons. Problem solved.
I'll never get that time back.
Found him!
At the supermarket produce section:
Me: Is this lettuce CRISPR-altered?
Store Worker: No, why do you ask?
Lettuce: Yeah, why do you ask?
