While no OS is good enough to ignore security issues on, OpenBSD comes damn close. You couple it with a good firewall policy and the chance of someone getting inside the default install is virtualy nil.
There are lots of rights that are nationally appropriated. The real questions is why regulate the spectrum at all.
It would be quite simple and lead to greater use if there was simply an arbitration process put in place to prevent infringing use. There is lots of spectrum available and devices are much better at not polluting it today.
The problem with massive deregulation is one of cost however. The FCC (and by proxy the Federal Govt.) makes lots of money from selling access rights.
While that is funny, there are some more critical problems with polls in my opinion.
Another problem with the polls we saw during the Republican convention is that the poll was conducted while a disproportionate number of republicans were at home. Two of the major polls did nothing to adjust for this and the difference in their results verses the other polls was several points.
The other problem I'm aware of is the fact that these polls typically only count "likely voters", usually defined as a person who voted in the last presidential election. There is a massive increase in many states in voter registration, so these people are not counted either. My impression is that they are predominantly non-republican.
CNN clearly shows that gun crime is way down, even Gun Nuts agree that the rate of gun crime is way down, and the Justice Department numbers back this up.
Saying the rate would have dropped anyway is disingenuous as it is totally un-provable. We can't say that the bill prevented crime %100, but we can be %99.9 sure that that is the case.

You could call it "computing", and refer to everything else as a "video game".

That explains a lot!

I'm quite sure the cat knows as well.
Really, my point was more about the quality of the article. If they are off by a magnitude of order there where else are they off?
Yep, I was just thinking that. I'm kind of dissapointed to learn that my gmail account is only 100MB however.

I think your math is wrong.
10 micrometers is 1/100th of a centimeter, so that would be 400 seconds or 6:40 minutes.
Rob, when did you stop beating your wife?

Let's try that again:
anyone [who can pass a full Federal backgound check, be finger-printed, have a cop sign a form, pay a tax of $200, and register with the government] can go buy a $300 AK-47 or $800 AR-15 today.
Your wording was a bit misleading I think.

can a republican senator even say "nuclear" correctly?
nope, I've had it for months. I'll be here all week. Thank you.
