As defined in the Constitution, yes they are. Because some of the articles that refer to militias restrict certain rights to Congress. Allowing states to create any kind of force and simply rename it to bypass Constitutional restrictions would defeat its intent.
also police can have post 86 full autos
Because these weapons have been provided to them by the National Defense Authorization Act since 1990. Which is a power constitutionally granted to Congress.
Byte-level access, easier application portability and a few commands like open, close, read, write and lseek could make object storage a force to be reckoned with.
Got all of that already. Perhaps not well defined by the POSIX standard. But only because certain implimentors whined and cried that they would be cut out of the party if they had to support real O/S standards.
But this isn't 'object storage' (unless all your objects are bytes). Object storage is an extension of higher level record access that VMS and other (mainframe) systems have had for years (decades). But now combined with object method storage. Starting to sound like RPC (server run) or write once, run anywhere. So Java vs ActiveX and maybe Javascript all over again. Just nope.
Nope. Back in the 17xx's, the founding fathers feared states forming their own armies. So they put some restrictions into the Constitution itself preventing them from doing so. But the states screamed that their militias would effectively be disarmed. So the Feds authored the second amendment promising to keep their hands off the people's right to arm themselves, from which the states could form their militias. But they put the term "well-regulated" in the amendment to make clear that they were not removing the other Constitutional checks on state militias.
States' regulation of guns also applies to its militias. So if a state chooses to restrict its people from some type of weapon, they can't turn around, hire them as cops and arm them with it. On the other hand, if a state determines that their militia (police, sheriffs) have no need to carry full auto weapons (for example), then they could arguably keep their citizens from posessing them. That seems reasonable. So if the cops carry Tasers in your state, you should be able to as well.
well-regulated means well-trained, translated from 1700s english to today
that's a fact. look it up yourself
I did. In the Constitution itself. When it means 'training', it says 'training'. Legally, there is no better basis for the definition of a term than it's use throughout the same document.
According to the Constitution, it also means the state appoints your officers. So, next time your inawoods gang gets together for some target shooting and refers to itself as a militia, I shall expect to see an officer selected by your governor in charge.
which translated to today's meaning is "well-trained"
Nope. 'Regulated' means controlled.
If you think there is any mandate to train police departments or even our standing military[1], think again. While some big city departments may have some form of training and qualification[2], smaller towns do not. Get hired as a sheriff's deputy, show up with your gun and you're in.
The idea behind the 2nd amendment was that 'the militia' (which back in the day meant thing like local law enforcement) was to be made up of civilians with the right to bear arms. States assembling their own standing armies and arming them was feared and is prohibited by the Constitution.
[1] In response to the Chattanooga shooting at a military recruiting office, it was suggested that personnel be armed. The response of one branch officer was that they wouldn't trust their people with nerf guns. Presumably that is after basic training.
[2] Our local sheriff's department minimum pistol proficiency standard will get a civilian thrown out of public shooting ranges.
Trying to. They couldn't figure out how to incorporate their swing wing mechanism and carry passengers/cargo at the same time.
They had prototypes
Plywood mockup.
but the environmentalists hated it,
Environmentalists hate everything. Particularly if they are paid to.
some of the test flights caused a good number of damage complaints.
Not flown with a Boeing SST prototype. And it turns out that the public was largely accepting of sonic booms. Until the FAA was asked to begin reimbursing the public for damage incurred. And people started turning in all shorts of sh*t to get cash.
Also, Boeing was working on it's own version of a luxury supersonic competitor to the Concord (the Boeing 2707 SST), but the project ended up being cancelled before it was ever mass produced (mostly due to to all the sonic-boom issues related to flying over land)
Mostly due to the fact that Boeing couldn't figure out how to get their to fly (their swing wing concept was too heavy). The USA should have funded someone who already knew how to build and fly aircraft with these capabilities.
There are a number of meta search engines out there that just generate a series of search requests on various sites and collect and merge the results. So if I did a search on CowboyNeal, the meta search would just fire off search requests to public record databases, news service web sites, etc. as well as Google. They don't actually index anything, but distribute and collect queries and results, much like gopher did.
So if CowboyNeal wanted to 'disappear', he'd have to seek out every database and have his records purged. If the authorities order the meta engine to block searches on the term "CowboyNeal", that becomes obvious as the meta engine returns almost instantly with "nothing found" (other tricks exist to detect this blacklisting as well).
... I was unfamiliar with Popcorn Time. But thanks to the Danish police, I am now familiar with the service. The Danish police need to arrest themselves immediately!
Not a fine. A 'settlement'. Which could mean they agree to pay $750,000 without admitting guilt and promise never to do it again. So they effectively have a clean record for the purpose of bidding on contracts where this is a requirement.
There's that little matter of the ex post facto telecom immunity law passed back in 2008. Everyone gets off scott free. Even for criminal acts committed before the new law. It'll be a long, hard fight just to get this brought before the Supreme Court and there's no guarantee they will even give a shit about the US Constitution. And only then, can criminal trials commence.
... just contact a local system installer. The insolation data for a particular region is already known and publicly available. What will affect your particular system are things like local shading, roof pitch and orientation and cost of installation as affected by your house and lot particulars. Local installers will also be familiar with your utilities solar programs.

no way you could practically offer POSIX style FS access in a cloud-like environment.

We need to implement Asimov's three laws of robotics for any system that is strong/agile enough to injure humans.
Or perhaps these three laws.
I'm still trying to figure out blue...
A line from ZZ Top's "TV Dinners" might help:

It's a plot instigated by the television/monitor manufacturers to sell more hardware.
I need operator's and maintenance manuals for a Lewis Engineering Pyrometer, Model 73.

Nope.

Those thin bible pages made good rolling paper in a pinch.
And I've worked for a few PHBs that probably ate their school books.
