there are 2.27+ million miles of paved roads in the US, not to mention all the unpaved ones...
First off, even at 30 miles per hour 24 hours a day, it'd take about 8 1/2 years to take the photos.
Second, taking 50 pictures every fifteen feet comes to ~17 thousand pictures per mile. Even at a measly 1 megapixel each, that's 17gigs per mile. Multiply that by a couple million miles and I think you may have just a little storage and database problem....
data from the most recent census shows pretty convincingly that people are more likely to spend the first 5-10 years after they get out of school in the place they went to school, rather than returning to their homes.
This is especially true of foreign students--but of course there aren't any of them in the tech industry....
according to the navy, a bare-bones aircraft carrier costs $4.5 Billion-- and you think you can build the craft that will go to Mars for $10 Billion????
further--if you actually get an interview with me, one of my first questions is going to be "so, tell me about your consulting work"
When the answer is "well, um, um, let me get back to you on that"... the interview probably won't continue much longer. You'd best have some fictitious clients and project details to go with your fake consulting job; and probably some fake references to go with it too..
In short--lying on your resume MAY help you get an interview, but unless you're a significantly better liar than most, it will work against you in getting a job. And which would you rather have?
You're almost certainly right that you could teach faster with a digital watch-- but that misses the point of teaching a kid to tell time.
Traditionally, the cognitive mapping necessary to tell analog time is an important developmental milestone. It is commonly the first bit of abstract reasoning that a child does.
There may be a custom that voting is anonymous, but it isn't at all clear that you have a "right" to anonymity. If such a right existed, it would prohibit the use of caucuses, as well as other traditional forms of government such as town meetings
Also--your right to free speech is not what's under discussion here. The question is anonymous speech, which is related, but is not the same thing.
In many elections, you do not have the right to an anonymous vote in the US--consider the Iowa (and numerous other) caucuses as proof of the point
In addition--there's one thing you can do from a public computer that you can't from home--and that's be anonymous. Just so you know, they have these things called IP addresses that allow what you do at home to be tracked....

the users aren't the problem.
A system designed in such a way that an average user can accidentally break it is fundamentally flawed, and flawed in such a way that no amount of training will eliminate the problem.
Blaming the user is the last refuge of a bad designer.

even neglecting inflation, I don't think that that comes to "more than the entire home computer back in the 80's"

the state DIDN'T settle--they lost on appeal.
It's not the judge's job to understand TCP/IP, or DNS, or any of that good stuff.
The judge's job is to rule on the facts before him. The facts are presented by the attorneys for each side, usually in the form of legal briefs.
A TRO having been issued in this case is most likely the result of the ISP having submitted a sucky brief

nice try, but somehow I doubt that any of the semiconductor manufacturers are working in survey feet....
if wasting somebody's time is going to be a capital offense, the clerks at the DMV better make sure their life insurance is paid up....

You need to recalibrate your budgetary intuition

Not everything that has value can (or even should) be patented.

"something most techies would trust" is not really a sufficient standard for judging the security of an encryption system
