The Red Cross are kind of jerks - they've harrassed game developers for putting red crosses on medical stuff and even sued the Red Cross pub in england. They lost that one due to the pub being 800 years old.
And yet, I know of multiple people in DC and NYC who have guns anyway - you can keep an M16 in manhattan for as long as you like, but you can only use it once.
From your description, I would probably cut a reinforced concrete wall with a shaped charge. Fater and probably less conspicuous. Too bad I don't really know demo.
Songs are not a car - if I copy a song, it's a perfect copy, same as the original. If you copy a car, you can't call it a Toyota or whatever, it's your car, it's tested as your car, and the major issues are conerned with the process of manufacture. Sure, you can R-E most of the design (but not the tolerances, not really), but you don't have the reputation of Toyota quality to rely on. You're an unknown.
There's precedent against it this time, especially as this is specifically for local connection points. You can make analogies to local utilities (which are actually independent companies, but are heavily regulated) and to the situation with cable companies.
Phone companies, lacking any interest in serving the customer, have no motivation to improve technology. I've said nothing about central planning, only that they should be expanded as demand grows and that they be open to all.
Would you really want the government owning the last mile, for privacy reasons?
Damn straight. They have restrictions on what they do, while ATT is happy to sell you out for the asking, then beg immunity after the fact.
The last mile is a datapipe owned by the local government. The expansion is driven principally by demand. WiFi stuff doesn't have this problem, so don't worry about it. Your stagnation argument is specious, as companies have even less motivation to serve monopoly customers and actively fight efforts by cities to deploy public networks.
The simple fact is that because people didn't report the unusual behavior of many of the 9/11 attackers, e.g. taking flight lessons that only focused on flying, getting pulled over without licenses, getting pulled over with illegal immigration statuses.... BECAUSE no one reported that activity, they went and hijacked 4 aircraft and killed 3000 people.
The flight school reported the pilots, screamed it, even, and the FBI blew them off. The TSA is not the solution. good policework is.
That was a reasonable response, imho, because there was zero evidence that there was an impending rampage, rather than an isolated incident.
Of course, the preventative measures were piss poor, especially after a similar goofball got stopped at UVA a few months before. Allowing people with CCWs to carry on campus would have lowered the bodycount considerably.
It's true - the pipes are pretty big though, so you'd need a serious explosive charge. Remember the guys that tried to blow up a dam a few years back with a couple sticks of dynamite? They made a small (1 foot) crater in a wall somewhere.
simple - the last mile is the only part that's really a monopoly. Cut that out and you don't have to worry about cable monopolies, weird dsl rules, etc. The backhaul and whatever else is still owned by whoever.
It's not that the CCW people aren't to be trusted. The problem is that random bullets are a big deal in a crowded place like a plane - you always have to consider what happens when you miss.
No, we paid for it through government mandated levees that funded the construction of the physical network. It also spent a good long time as a nationalized monopoly (link), so really, this isn't unprecedented. The trick is only to go after the 'last mile' stuff and rent the stuff to all comers.
If the vpn is set up properly, your internal connection to the vpn would just be a loop out to the firewall, then back inside. Cute, but not generally useful.
WOW, for all its quests, isn't on rails. It isn't really the same thing as a single player game, but whatever. You can do quests, fight with the other factions, slaughter pigs, go fishing, whatever. Hell, I like to go find the cool scenery built for my amusement and just look at it.

use google. It's basically a big building with computers and AC in it. There's more, but you really should be able to find out for yourself.
Try a shotgun and a big old mantrap with a hole for the shotgun barrel. Yeah, and real walls, TYVM.

She wasn't brought up on charges, she was sued. I don't really care about her specifically, I just want the RIAA blunted.
10 billion years I can deal with.

The federal government, not the state/local one.

Try sending courteous letters - see if they insult your mother.

Well why would I get deported to Syria or any other nation?
Because it's convenient, and you're an annoying jackass.

That last part is easy - arm the thing with a distance trigger and a movement trigger. Get too far away or have someone bump it, and it goes off.
But it's the price we pay to have HUMANS do security. We're not perfect. It happens, it's how you deal with the mistakes that matters.
Well, we don't deal with mistakes. Just try to get off a no-fly list without being Ted Kennedy.
It's either we form things like no-fly lists, or we just let anyone fly and run the risk of transporting known criminals who may want to harm others.
Fine by me. Not like OJ is on one of these lists.

So what do you propose? We just let people on planes as if they were buses?
Yeah. Add bomb sniffer stuff like we had in 1998 and we're good to go.
