There was a lot of electron beam lithography research going on when I was in grad school. One of the major hurdles was that every time someone slammed a door somewhere else in the building, it would vibrate the fixtures enough to ruin the device, despite the best efforts to shield the fixture (and the building, and the room, and the stand, and everything else) from vibration.
It's too bad I already posted in this thread and can't mod this up. You're precisely right. The government education system abandoned learning a long time ago. Today it far more akin to another government make-work welfare program.
Granted, there is something to be said for a well-designed, visually appealing text book, as long as it has actual material in it. I have some of my Dad's old Schaum's outlines from the 60's and 70's, and it's damn near impossible to learn anything from them because of the sheer density of material.
My wife is taking calculus right now at a local college. Her professor takes points off if she solves a problem using intuition or innovative thinking rather than following the procedure he outlines in class. She gets the right answers, but gets marked "wrong" for not doing it the way HE knows it works.
Basically, the professor doesn't understand the material himself, but rather knows the procedure for specific types of problems, so that's all he can grade on. The same problem is prevalent in secondary schools as well. Teachers do not understand the material they are teaching outside of a vary narrow scope of memorization, or a rigid state-run curriculum from which they are not allowed to deviate because of the risks involved with individual free thought (like lawsuits over speech or utterances that are not politically correct, or that hurt the childrens' feelings, and so on).
That would work, except that by the time you receive the letter, the FBI has already implemented 3.c and obtained the information they are seeking. They just need a paper trail to show that the information was obtained legally (even though NSLs violate the constitution in a number of ways).
Denying you have information the FBI has already obtained from you is a sure way to get yourself into some hot water.
You're wrong about what happens when you die. It's not an eternity of nothingness.
When you die you're going to go to
your favorite place in the whole
world. And you're going to be with
all of the people you've ever loved
and who have ever loved you. And
you're going to be young again, and
you'll be able to run through the
fields and dance and jump, and
there will be no sadness, no pain,
just love and laughing and
happiness. There will be ponies
made of gold, and everyone will
live in giant mansions, and
everything will smell like cookies.
And it will last for an eternity,
Grandma. An eternity.
These coffins are actually big, evil drilling machines designed to penetrate the walls of Zion, allowing swarms upon swarms of robotic killers loose on what remains of the human race!
Perhaps. I have the 25/25 in suburban Phila and it's just awful. Everyone I know around here has the same problem, so maybe it is a location issue. Who knows? I've tried complaining and all I get is the standard "speed is not guaranteed" BS and a click.

I have Fios, and I used to have to get up and go make a sandwich every time I wanted to watch a youtube video. It was painful enough that I have given up on youtube altogether and don't bother...
The other factor that makes youtube too frustrating to deal with anyway is that they only seem to allow videos taken during major earthquakes...
Seriously folks, learn to hold a camera steady... sheesh..

If you want to talk security systems, I have a Lynx wireless system that I installed myself in a couple of hours. I had verizon move the ONT into my basement with steel conduit to the box outside to protect the fiber from being cut. I have one pad in the kitchen and the master pad in our bedroom. My wife and I each have a keyfob for enabling and disabling it easily.
I have about $400 in it with all the extra sensors for the house.
And what would this post be without mentioning my firearms; a 4.5".357 magnum revolver and a S&W 9mm semi-auto, both of which I am extremely proficient in and unafraid to use.
My township here in PA recently started sending inspectors to every home being sold (because that's the only time they can legally do it) to look for non-permitted renovations and other work. If they find that work was done without a permit, they will not issue a new occupancy permit until the work is redone under permit.
It kinda sucks because in my township, you have to buy a $55 permit to replace a $3 electrical receptacle.

How much was spent, what is the cost to generate, and how much profit is made?
Who gives a flip if it's a dealer accessory or installed at the factory? The fact remains this is nothing new.
It has been trivial to get internet access in a vehicle for years and years.
Hurd STOLE from the company. He deserved to be fired just like any other employee.
I paid $2.61 on Sunday... BJ's on Egypt road in Oaks, PA, fwiw

$2000 is not a deterrent when you can pay a foreigner $30K less even though they live and work on US soil.
Besides, these companies will just switch to the L-1 visa...

Avoid the problem in the first place.
If you must though, you could:
- Keep your stuff on an encrypted USB stick or hard disk
- SSH or VPN Home (See also OpenVPN and IPCop)
- Buy some online storage from someone
- Colo your own server
and more...
Building HC chains requires energy. Where does it come from here?
I assure you, you don't. They just know it's you :)

I have a Core i7-920 with 6GB and a 25/25 connection to Fios that is actually more like 35/35 most of the time.
Whenever I watch youtube, I have to go make a sandwich while the video loads and then come back and watch it.
Much better UI than Tek, by a longshot. Far more functional.
I don't know about the $2k price range. We have a fleet of WaveRunners that run around $15k to start, but I imagine some of the UI is the same.
