It isn't a G limit on the airframe, but the hardpoints can't tolerate high-G maneuvers. A fast roll wouldn't hurt the plane, but the external fuel tanks would fly off.
Slashdot is nice in that in condenses news articles from hundreds of sources. It is quite possible that there is someone in the FCC that reads/. It is also possible that said person does not read the NYT.
Lately I've had to deal with this problem. Our solution was rather simple. We use NTOP on an Ubuntu box at the internal switch. We replicate all the traffic coming into that switch to a port that the NTOP box listens on.
It may not be a perfect solution, but it can easily let us know who the top talkers are and give us a historical look at what they are doing.
From that report, we look for anyone uploading more than they download. We also look for people who upload/download a consistent amount every hour. If you see someone doing 80gb in traffic each day with 60gb uploaded, you probably have a file sharer. When you see the 24-hour reports for the user and see 2~3gb every hour on upload, you *know* you have a file sharer.
After that, it's as simple as going to the DNS server and locking their MAC address to an IP. Then, we drop all that traffic (access list extended is wonderful) to another Ubuntu box. That box has a web page explaining what we saw, why the user is banned, and the steps they need to take to get back online.
Most users are very apologetic. We help them to set up upload/download limits on their bittorrent client and then we put them back online.
It won't help much. Thanks to Bit Torrent, it's rather easy to identify file sharers; they connect to thousands of peers. You draft a AUP that states file sharing will not be tollerated. Then you use NTOP to identify potential file sharers. Finally, you redirect them to a web page explaining what they need to do if they want to get back online.
I usually look for negative reviews first when considering a product. I will google for "$product sucks". I try and see why people think it sucks. If I don't see any negative reviews, I know that no one is actually buying the product.
We name by SITE_DIVISION_BUILDING_ROOM_UID. Just from looking at a WS ID, we know just about where it is. If a user calls and only knows their building and room, we can easily isolate the machine.
Couldn't you file a public notice that if any of the copyright holders are interested in maintaining their copyright, they should contact so-and-so by such-and-such a date.
After that date, open the code.
After all, you couldn't abandon your private property on a public highway and then just leave it there forever.
I lived on a USMC base overseas for a number of years. Overseas, most US Service members live on the actual base. But they can buy internet, cable tv, and telephone service from private ISPs. The private ISPs, generally, don't block anything and the logs are not usually reviewed by US Government representatives.
However, when the Marines are at work, they login to a US Government network. This network is firewalled and proxied at the base level. Base leaders decide what gets filtered here. Outside of the Base proxy, there is usually another Command level proxy or firewall. This is managed by (in the case of the USMC), the MC NOSC.
So, at work, twitter and facebook are directed to be blocked. However, I've never seen a military network where facebook and twitter were allowed. So this order is nothing new; just codifying curreny, unwritten, policy.
Why bother? For the price of a single space shot, you can launch hundreds of UAVs. I simple UAV can consist of a Senior Telemaster + GPS + netbook; maybe $3000. Add another $100 for imaging and another $1000 for training. For $5k, you have a functional surveillance UAV that can't be predicted. They can fly high enough to be virtually undetectable. And you can have dozens of them flying patterns over a given area.
Hell, you can even put a kilo of explosives on-board. If you see a target of opportunity, just fly the UAV into the target.
In short, most people shoot in the side of the head and blow the top off. Unless they bleed out, they just end up with massive brain damage. Smaller caliber weapons will tend to deflect around the skull.
I would think that everyone in the SW universe would want to be a Jedi. They are kind-of an uber-ninja class with no real shortcomings.
So, the question isn't "can I be a jedi", the question should be "how do we make everyone not want to be a jedi."
SWG had a pretty fucked way of doing it. Especially in light of the fact that in the movies, you were either born with it or you weren't. Maybe this time around, every new character you create will have a 2% chance of getting Jedi powers. Maybe cap this in a way to keep people from just creating 50 characters to get a Jedi. Like the char must reach level 10 to know for sure and you can only find out if another, higher ranking, jedi encounters you. Maybe an aura or something that only master jedis can see...
I run a Windows7 Media Center. The "editing" they are talking about was done from the MCE remote while sitting on my couch.
I had to do the same thing on my standard HDTV. Went into the setup menu and told it to re-detect all the available channels. It took 5 minutes to re-scan and then another 5 minutes of telling it not to add Fox News, Trinity Broadcasting, Home Shopping Network, and other drivel like that.
At one point, I could write Palm better than block letters. I remember one class where I forgot my Palm. I took notes on a piece of paper. When I got home, I noticed that I had written in Palm!
Anyway, Palm is now a could-have-been. Lost out to Smartphones I guess...
You could write a corporate retention policy that stated you store logs in memory on a rotating basis. And you maintain enough memory to track back for 2 days or so.
Still, I think it might be legally hard to do that. And you would have at least one or two police raids before a judge finally slapped the cops hard enough to make them stop trying.
It also makes pretty good business sense. You never have to spend a few hours chasing backups of logs for investigations. There just isn't anything there for the police to want to look at.
It's already coming. In the 3d model (rc models) world, most of the kits come in the form of 5mm foam sheets pre-cut to the shape of the model. Then these guys came along:
It wasn't really fiction back then, either. We were just too stupid to notice it or too drunk to care. Those with money have always stood behind those with power.
If you have a family, your first obligation is to save up 8 months of your current salary. From there, if you are laid off, you can collect benefits while living off your savings. If you cut back on things, you can make that 8 months stretch into a year or better.
Once you get 8 months of income in a savings or money-market account, the next step is to invest in retirement for you and your spouse. Max out your IRA and one for your spouse. Maybe buy a house or some other property. Some place to live when you retire.

For repeatr offenders, you kick them completely.

Or, you can, you know, stop paying your cable bill.
Either watch Hulu, rent DVDs, or download the content you want to see.
The day I have to jump through hoops to help Cox make money is the day I shoot myself in the fracking head...

Bad aim, mostly.

I worked 100 Push-Ups in conjunction with curling a 40lb bar. Just doing tricep and chest will cause pain in your joints.
Monday/Wednesday/Friday == 100 PU and 200 situps
Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday == Bar curls and squats
Sunday, swim or run. The $5k and 5k plan works pretty well...

It could be that a 3rd Party company is video-taping the sessions.
An ISP could put its logging servers in Germany or France though. If the logs are out of reach, the gov can pound sand...

You cna now scan the model kit and import it into Sketchup and then send that to the printer and it'll print copies all day long.
Edit the ToS to include a "fradulent chargeback" fee. If the user issues a chargeback and it's later overturned, charge their card an additional $30.
Not the best solution, but I run VirtualBox inside Ubuntu to get access to my legacy apps.
It wasn't really fiction back then, either. We were just too stupid to notice it or too drunk to care. Those with money have always stood behind those with power.
And it'll always be that way.

Finally, save money for kids' education.
