The government didn't buy shares on the open market, GM issued and sold new shares to the government, receiving cash in return.
(It's actually much more complex. The "old" GM went bankrupt, and sold all it's assets to a "new" GM, which is a different legal entity. It's shares in the "new" GM which the government purchased.)
There's this comical belief that Congress should have the ability to approve of War Powers, which the constitution clearly states are those powers reserved to the President.
Uh, have you actually read the Constitution?
Congress has the power to
"provide for the common Defence... declare War,... raise and support Armies,... provide and maintain a Navy... To make Rules for the... Regulation of the land and naval Forces... To provide for calling forth the Militia to... suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions... To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States..."
The President gets to be Commander in Chief.
The enumerated powers are pretty lopsided against your claim.
Where's the "court order?" Furthermore, there's nothing which would allow blanket surveillance of all users in an area, as opposed to individuals covered under a legitimate warrant.
More significantly - cell phone frequencies are licensed, and some have been "sold" to cell providers. Methinks there's a felony here by some within the Indiana State Police, regarding theft of services, or something similar regarding use of frequencies they're not licensed to use. Who watches the watchers?
This is a recurring issue - what makes law enforcement think they can break the law in order to enforce it (this, and simpler things like speeding while on patrol).
AFAIK, the Supremes have ruled only on the metadata provided by '70's era pen registers, which provided only the time of calls and outgoing dialed numbers. The ruling was also based on an "individual's subjective expectation of privacy," something which would be reasonably present when an explicit privacy policy exists as part of the service contract (as it does with most/all phone services these days).
You seem to be asking for a player which will organize files. You don't have to choose one thing which does both.
In my experience, iTunes does just fine for organizing files into a directory structure. Also free (as in beer, not libre), Mediamonkey is pretty flexible.
For playback, have you looked at Subsonic? It's free (as in libre, not beer). Multi-platform client support, and a server architecture which lets you access your library from anywhere without having to carry it around. You just point it at the directory structure that your organizer creates. It will also do streaming transcoding.
The one thing that nothing seems to handle well are compilations - there's the dichotomy between "albums" as they are released vs. organizing based on artist, etc.
breaker != receptacle. I'm pretty sure that code allows a breaker to be less than the outlet's rating. You might even be able to have a 15 A breaker and wiring going to a 50 A receptacle, if you wanted. But the claim was that 40 A receptacles exist.
I used to listen to the radio
And I don't guess they're listenin' to me no more
They talk too much but that's okay
I don't understand a single word they say
Piss and moan about the immigrants
But don't say nothin' about the president
A democracy don't work that way
I can say anything I wanna say
So fuck the FCC
Fuck the FBI
Fuck the CIA
Livin' in the motherfuckin' USA
People tell me that I'm paranoid
And I admit I'm gettin' pretty nervous, boy
It just gets tougher everyday
To sit around and watch it while it slips away
Been called a traitor and a patriot
Call me anything you want to but
Just don't forget your history
Dirty Lenny died so we could all be free
So fuck the FCC
Fuck the FBI
Fuck the CIA
Livin' in the motherfuckin' USA
There is no (standardized) 400 Gb interface. Who's proprietary one are you referring to? Beyond which, you're arguing based on a limitation of a specific implementation, not a technical limitation.
there is a place for QoS, which is useful for things like VoIP and streaming video. The question is who pays, and how do you insure it's fair?
The solution may be to allow a source to pay for a better QoS classification (since that's where the marking is done), but also force ISPs to be charge all comers equally. That means separating existing companies which provide both content and transport into separate legal entities. Alternately, they remain combined but are not allowed to provide QoS treatment to their own services, so they can't do cost shifting.
But it's all pretty pointless unless the various backbone providers agree to honor the markings coming into their networks - QoS simply doesn't work unless it's end-to-end. Good luck with that. How does a service on ISP A get better service guaranteed for traffic going to a customer on ISP B? I think that's the real problem, QoS is only guaranteed within a provider's network, which naturally favors their own services (and other services contained within their network).

There's NEMA 5-30, 5-50, 6-30, 6-50, 10-30, 10-50, etc. Where do I find a NEMA x-40? I won't limit you to naming a favorite hardware store - name anywhere on the Internet.

You're confused.
As if Nest has published APIs, or control of the thermostat doesn't require going through their servers?

There were no 1963 Mustangs.

No, I had prison work crews in mind.

Like digging ditches on a road crew? At least programming pays well and is respectable.

You're confusing latency with throughput.
breaker != receptacle. I'm pretty sure that code allows a breaker to be less than the outlet's rating. You might even be able to have a 15 A breaker and wiring going to a 50 A receptacle, if you wanted. But the claim was that 40 A receptacles exist.
So, you don't understand how parallel data planes can be architected to increase throughput, and you can't name any switches which support 400 Gb.
