Wait, are you trying to imply I'm somehow in favour of getting involved? Nonsense. In fact, my biggest concern has been that the Syrian rockets launched into Turkey would get us involved due to NATO. Even Turkey doesn't want to get in the middle of this.
Track record is key at this juncture. The rebels can say anything atrocious they want about Assad's supporters/regime and it will seem plausible. I have no significant evidence one way or the other, but at this point, the rebels' claims seem more credible than the denials.
Actually, for me, it's just an issue of "I don't care". Let the oceans rise three feet. Couldn't bother me less. What does bother me is the huge amount of government (at whatever level) that it would take to actually implement the "mitigation strategies" you present.
When I worked for a municipal department in Texas, we had policies concerning any and all video shot while on duty. First of all, cameras were to be carried by fire trucks. Whether they were helmet-mounted or not was actually kind of a silly question. Second, all photos or videos shot with during incidents had to be reviewed by officers before it could be used for any purpose. Third, and most importantly, it doesn't matter how many years you have been in the service, you keep yourself acutely aware of any cameras in your vicinity and ensure that you only do what you would not be embarrassed to see on the news tonight.
It's also called "the public domain". There's a reason we end up with so many forks of different traditional songs, and it's because people weren't subject to repercussions for simply playing music.
Sadly, they mean "government" when they say "national". I'm done worrying about how secure the government itself is. We, as a people, indeed, a nation, are going to survive with or without those who make up our present government. And if they're not going to follow the constitution, the last thing I want is for them to be "secure" in their positions.
My kind of loyalty was loyalty to one's country, not to its institutions or its officeholders. The country is the real thing, the substantial thing, the eternal thing; it is the thing to watch over, and care for, and be loyal to; institutions are extraneous, they are its mere clothing, and clothing can wear out, become ragged, cease to be comfortable, cease to protect the body from winter, disease, and death. - Mark Twain, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
The main reasons for an FCC are to prevent monopolization of the existing infrastructure and to determine the usage of wireless frequencies. IP-based services do not fall in either category. The FCC just wants to seem relevant.
They already can identifiy you by your smartphone if you don't have every single communication feature turned off. And even then, I have my doubts that they'll stop at that..
When I worked for a municipal fire department, I had to take a polygraph during the hiring process. The biggest thing I learned in my reading beforehand was that they're basically quackery, and that the only way they work even a little is if you believe they do.
One of his first questions during the test was if I had done any reading on how polygraphs work before coming there. I responded of course. He asked disapprovingly of why, and I told him that only a fool would fail to research every part of a hiring process.
And then I proceeded to not give a crap throughout the entire "test." I even blatantly lied to him about my name during the baseline, and he got mad at me. I laughed and told him I thought he needed a lie to work from. Both he and I knew that he was being screwed with.
I think for me the biggest factor is the pizza itself. Being slapped in the face with a nice well-made slice isn't half as bad as being slapped with a slice covered in curled pepperoni, each filled with molten grease the temperature of a railroad flare..
The problem with class actions is that nobody has faith in them. Anytime I get a notice about a class action I might be eligible to be part of, I summarily ignore it. Why? The only payout is for the lawyers, and occasionally the class members get coupons for pizza. I like pizza, but I don't like being slapped in the face.
I went back to school during the economic downturn, figuring a bad job market was a good time to get a degree. Wanted to finish out the bachelor's, but even with a mere year and a half at an extremely inexpensive private religious college with a full-tuition scholarship, I grew a quick distrust for the way financial system would impact my future after school. Ended up calling it at the end of a two-year.
This seems like it might be a single element that has little to do with the coffee itself. Despite the study's findings, this is far from a guarantee that the coffee itself was the cause. It could well be that dying and coffee are both attributable to somethign else they had in common. Perhaps it would be better to look at what the common thread between the coffee drinkers studied. especially the ones who died.
It's a time to celebrate, not to have what sounds like a fairly businessy and serious event. This is like celebrating the Fourth of July by bombing Britain.

Feel free to believe that.
I've looked at the potential effects and I still don't care. Alarmism is no way to run a government/country/world.

That's how I look at it as well. Actually playing/generating the music from its score is compiling.

Of course you could. But no source is more open than the public domain.

I don't know what you mean. I've had my flying car since the 1970s!

If so, video games might not be the industry for him.

Two? More like about a dozen.

Yes, I passed.
That's what I did. It was definitely worth it.

I think it's adorable that you think such a method makes much of a difference.

You're right, I meant causation. I didn't proofread, so I will gladly take the ridicule for it.
