All things, right here in the Pacific Northwest, that have caused power outages at my house. And my utility is a public traded company,
Really? Which company would that be? The only "investor-owned" electric utility in this region that I'm familiar with failed miserably in the stock market and was taken private years ago to keep them limping along. They are no longer capable of running their own maintenance crews (its all contracted out) due to worker safety issues, or do their own engineering.
To their credit, the contractors have done a pretty good job of catching up with the maintenance that the utility shirked for years. As a result, outages have become less frequent. But that raises the question of where all the maintenance money (charged to rate payers) went when the utility was running the show themselves.
It wasn't the law that got Kim. It was the politics and the Powers That Be behind our government not liking what he was up to. Legal council is supposed to inform one of legal risk. Assessing business risk was up to Kim. Where he got into trouble was stepping into a legal gray area that his attorneys could not have foreseen: The ability of entities like the RIAA and MPAA to utilize US law enforcement assets to protect their business interests.
especially breeder reactors that produce minimal waste,
Except that Pres. Carter issued a directive prohibiting reprocessing of nuclear waste. Given that Republicans are willing to overturn anything Obama has done as soon as they are elected to office, I can't imagine why nobody has the balls to overturn the Carter directive and get on with the work at hand.
I pray you don't work in security because this is a great example of how big of an issue social media linking is.
I think the people who work "in security" are smart enough to see through most of this crap. Or people with clearances would continually be subject to blackmail by organizations more highly motivated than some scamming dating sight trying to puff up their subscriber base.
Are you referring to the Stingray brand cell site simulator (made by Harris)? Or just a generic cell site simulator? Because a lot of companies make these and some are more easily available to the public (through gray channels) than others.
Because a "big idea" that fails to provide widespread beneficial results is, by definition, not game changing*. It sounds like your PR people just got a bit ahead of themselves while trying to raise venture capital.
*On the other hand, a few people trying to lash together a couple of DEC PDPs with no grandiose thoughts of being game changing seem to have done just that.
Good luck with that. The small mom and pop retailers may not represent a large part of the market or retail capital. But they have lots of votes. And they will keep big players out of their market at the ballot box.
What we need to do is our best. Unless it involves some winner-take-all competition (like the Cold War was. Maybe.) we need to stop looking over our shoulder. Or lamentng the fact that we've been passed. Who cares if Europe is better at hurricane forecasting? Can they use that against us? I doubt it. We need to be as good at that as makes sense economically. We can't save every mobile home, damn the cost.

It's alive!
Just scan the lunchboxes carried out the gate at night.
This.

simple life should be abundant in the universe.
Thankfully, only in reruns.
Probably some guy* who got tired of waiting around for that marriage to end.
*Could also be a woman who is after her husband.

God plays 3 card monte.
Q: How many cops does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: None. They just beat the room for being black.
maybe we don't want to be obsessed with politics all the time, and don't want to politicize everything. That's bad?
Not at all. Your leaders would prefer that you pay politics no attention at all. You will be told how to vote when the time comes.

Google will do well to 1 open its own stores,

Yes, the US sucks.
We suck better than anyone else. We can sit back and bask in our own glory.
No.

So, why does it feel the need to charge sales tax, income tax, property tax etc.
Just so we won't forget whose bitch we are.
I can just see the Java and C# factions forming.
That will leave the task of writing legislation to the third guy. The one who codes in Malbolge.
What next?
