If Amazon (along with other delivery services) can't even be bothered to take 5 seconds to ring your doorbell when they do a hit-and-run delivery...how can one expect them to take the time to deliver a package to a recipient's garage?
How about your kid's teacher or coach who may have been living here for generations and have all their family here? Nope, they don't deserve to live here more than an "techie" transplant.
They don't stop renting it and decide to live in it; they take it off the rental market and turn it into an Airbnb "hotel" or wait a few months till the renters are long gone (not around to verify the owners moved in) and then put it back on the market at 3x the cost.
I was in the Navy at the time and had just finished briefing for a late AM flight and was getting ready to go start the aircraft pre-flight checks when the news of the explosion came on the ready room TV.
I kept thinking, "at least it was quick." It was only later the world learned they didn't die instantaneously.
Texts conjure up the expectancy of immediate/near immediate response. All too often the question doesn't merit that. I would rather not have my cell phone be a conduit for what you think is important...but isn't.
Secondly, many of us prefer to reserve texting for friends/family/work urgencies...not for sundry office dialog. Email is my preferred method for work communications. If the situation is complex enough where an email dialog would take much longer than a voice conversation...then call.
Some people are just too lazy to write a coherent email and insist on poorly written unimportant texts. Non important texts get ignored. Repeat senders of non-urgent work texts get blocked.
I got more skills useful for later computer tasks HS in typing classes during the late 70's/early 80's than I did any computer class. Not that there was much in the way of computer classes offered.
Until submarines stop emitting sounds in the water (to be picked up by sonobuoys) and have the ability to not reflect any sound when hit with an active sonar pulse...they are findable. Of course, finding them before they do their damage is the hard part.
Good luck with evading two (to leapfrog) ASW helos using active sonar once they have contact on you.
Sure it's possible. However, in a hostile situation there will definitely be friendly fast attack subs very very close by. Then there's the S-3 ASW squadron doing it's thing a 20-300 mile radius from the carrier, followed by the SH-60 ASW squadron handling the 0-20 mile radius.
A sub may still get through or close enough to fire surface to surface or sub-surface to surface missile or even close enough to launch a few torps...but she won't be able to just waltz in there.
That's what we in the carrier's ASW squadrons called subs. BTW, carrier battle groups almost always have fast attack subs as part of their battle group component. If the bad guy wants to come play...he very likely will be engaged without ever detecting the threat.
I'm not sure what the CIWS layout is now, but during my time in Uncle Sam's Yacht club (close to two years spent on a carrier); we had four CIWS. As cool as they are and fun to watch in action...I'm not sure how they could knock down several dozen missiles all inbound. All it take is one to get through.
"many (not all) people jailbreak for access to pirated apps" -- on what do you base that conclusion. It's not like the Cydia store offers pirated apps. I think most people jailbreak their iPhones to get useful apps that Apple will not approve for the Apple store. In most cases Apple doesn't approve these apps because they compete with an Apple product or take away from the gouging...er...I mean revenue desires of Apple or AT&T Wireless.
Two examples of this which apply to why I jailbreak my iPhone: Google Voice and data tethering. Apple wouldn't approve the Google Voice for the Apple Store. Apple/ATTWS only started offering data tethering with iOS 4.0...and you have to pay ATTWS an extra $20 a month (charing you a monthly fee to use data you're already paying for). Not only that, you have to get rid of your unlimited data plan and get a tiered data plan.
A jailbroken iPhone has allowed me to tether my iPhone and/or use it for a mobile hot spot using my current iPhone's unlimited plan w/o having to pay ATTWS an extra $240/year for the privilege of using my own data.
That data on blockacountry.com is far from current. There are new IP blocks allocated/assigned to CN/KR 2-3 times a week. I just added one/11, one/12, one/13, two/14's, one/15, one/16, and one/17 for CN today alone.
It seems to be that the biggest problem is you are not competently managing your mail list. There is zero excuse for not using confirmed opt-in. Those who do not, deserve to be blacklisted.

The area known as The Castro was called Eureka Valley long before it was called The Castro.
AIMSICD has been working well for me in this regard.

There are no BART lines in the western part of SF (Sunset, Richmond, etc.), so taking BART from the Sunset to Moscone is not possible.
In Cyberspace?
Among others, the people from SF who live in SF care about SF.

This is a common occurrence here in SF.

Yes, and Webvan was great!
This could be entertaining. While the U.S. is using trampolines to get astronauts to the ISS; Russia can use a catapult to get supplies to it.

You won't be able to see it if you're in China or Korea and not using a VPN or proxy outside those two countries.
Poor quality? The Power Computing clones were far better in features, quality, and price than anything Apple was putting out at the time.
Or neither.
