Amusingly you're not legally trespassing until you have been told to leave, at least in California. Those "no trespassing" signs don't mean shit either, unless your property is completely encircled with fence and you have a gate which is locked.
This is another reason I'm glad I don't live in California. Really, I don't see what is amusing about trespassing.
That wouldn't work in Naples, Italy. Honestly, they have their own system of driving and defective stop lights (which happens) really isn't a problem. OK, all greens may cause a few accidents.
You want to drive Neapolitans crazy? Then disable their car horns.

Bingo!

I regret to hear about this mania in the UK. We have similar problems here in the US. The UK press is infamous for pandering to the lowest common denominator, and this is happening here also.
However, your bad experience was an isolated incident, I hope. You shouldn't give up your compassion based on this. Just state your intentions clearly to as many persons around you as is reasonable; this should clear up any potential misunderstanding.
They still use them for one reason - it's a power trip. They simply want to feel that they can "break" you. That is why many people who undergo the "lifestyle poly" and don't lie, "fail". The assumption is that everyone has something to hide, and they want to know what it is.
I think you are referring to SONET - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SONET The problem is that in order to save money, different providers usually co-locate lines and equipment. True path redundancy is usually expensive. Military networks use media redundancy - satellite, fiber, troposcatter radio, etc. That doesn't stop big problems when a ship yanks a cable in the Persian Gulf (a semi-annual occurrence). The funniest reason for an outage I heard was a Saudi Sheikh had his favorite camel buried and the backhoe cut a fiber. As for commercial networks, the co-location of fiber and equipment is common, but has led to real problems such as the outage caused by the Baltimore Tunnel fire in 2001 and the outage at 60 Hudson Street NYC due to the 9/11 attacks.
It isn't that they will "come after you", it is that you won't be found "worthy" of advancement.
No loan for you, you are a "deviant". No driver's license for you. No chance of holding office. No scholarship. Etc.
Basically, you don't need to send everyone to the gulag if the gulag is the common person's life.

Actually, in the Persian (or Arabian) Gulf States, nearly all of the convenience stores (known as cold stores) are run by Indians, so they can keep Apu.
The problem is that the kids would rather be out drinking and screwing rather than debating the intricacies of pre vs post agrarian culture in the Southern States and the relationship between that and race relations as they exist today.
This begs the question, why are we mis-spending college educations on young people who clearly aren't ready for it? I intend to pay for the college tuitions of my two nieces, but not until they are 21 or 22. After a term in the military or a few years of menial jobs, people have a much greater appreciation of higher education.
Only billions spent on a war that provides us nothing while ours schools have no money to educate our kids. Indeed this all makes sense to me now...
Of course it makes sense. What do you think the Modern Oligarchy depends upon? Well educated people have more to lose and are less likely to take risky or low-wage (or both) employment.
Local resident Dewey Coffman received one too many spam e-mails and finally did something about it.
He archived and forwarded spam messages over to the AG's Office.
His main concern with spam in general for his children.
"A lot of the pornography content is offensive and that is what has concerned me the most. You can't even let the kids in the room when your reading e-mail because some the spam contains that and it will flash up on your screen before you have a chance to get rid of it,- DADNABBIT" Coffman said.
OK, I added the DADNABBIT part. Does anyone else think that Dewey Coffman must look like Eustis on 'Courage the Cowardly Dog'?
What's even worse is that we are funding both sides of this. Saudi Arabia has been directly sponsoring and funding the anti-western and rabidly religious madrasas (religious schools) throughout the Muslim world for a considerable time now. Think about that the next time you fill up your truck or SUV.
You didn't happen to work at the UUNET NOC did you? Our entire team was using every over the counter drug we could think of and we went through mice and keyboards like mad, but someone on the other half of the week was an absolute beast to his workstation.
I must have seen the special "Napoli" version of the Smart Car, because they had no problem going fast there. Then again, even a FIAT Cinquecento can do over 120kph in Naples for some unknown reason.
Sounds as though the author of the article has a love/hate relationship with himself as well as a pessimistic view of the world in general.
This shows just how upbeat he isn't,
No, the broader reason why mainstream society has become more disposed to immerse itself in fantasy is because of a general cultural stagnation that exists today. At a time when we feel less certain of our ability to impact on the world around us, we tend to retreat into fantasy worlds instead. One consequence of this is that we are increasingly more comfortable contemplating the ins and outs of life in Tolkien's Middle-Earth, than we are confronting the ins and outs of life on Earth proper. As Hollywood serves up ever more lavish fantasy spectacles for us to marvel at, the society that lies outside of the cinema and the comic shop stagnates.
I disagree that the world is stagnating; it is just that the pace of improvement is glacially slow. Such is history.

glesga kiss, yours is the most profoundly disturbing post I have ever read. You are truly a coward to say you wouldn't help a lost child.
So, how long have you been working for the government? You are exactly right.
This isn't a premature April Fool's story, is it?

If you live in Napoli, you do, but I really miss the food.

Be a realist.
On the other hand, laws backed up by quick, harsh enforcement stop a lot of actions.
OK, I added the DADNABBIT part. Does anyone else think that Dewey Coffman must look like Eustis on 'Courage the Cowardly Dog'?
No, these are Japanese robot players, not Italian.

The truth is neither side deserves our funds.
Actually, I'd word it differently, "Will the American and European networks become obsolete?"
It looks like something Enterprise D or Voyager crewmembers would take on picnics.
