It's happened for all the toll roads in my home state, Kentucky. We had 10, all were made toll-free between 1985 and 2006 and their toll booths demolished. There's been some talk of reinstating some to cover costs of upgrading the portions of these former toll roads which are/will be parts of I-66 and I-69, as well as for construction of a few bridges across the Ohio river.
Per the ATF: "For your information, per provisions of the Gun Control Act (GCA) of 1968, 18 U.S.C. Chapter 44, an unlicensed individual may make a “firearm” as defined in the GCA for his own personal use, but not for sale or distribution."
I would guess the Supreme Court, if the question is as simple as presented, will come down on the side of there not being an explicit guarantee considering NO jurisdiction in the United States used a secret ballot until the 1870s (Louisville, KY was first).
Given that, I think it would likely need to be attacked on Equal Protection grounds.
Technically, graves are a technology. Embalming is a technology, as is cremation. Gravemarkers are a technology. Caskets are a technology. And so forth. Pretty much everything in a funeral is a technology including having a funeral in the first place. They've just been around so long we don't think of them as "technology".
If the apps work correctly to support it (e.g. letting you specify pickup and destination points and desired fare), I could see them helping an uptick in the car services' business over medallion cabs.
* That's probably a diesel, and diesel fuel has a higher volumetric energy density compared to gasoline.
Not really. Diesel has about the same energy density as gasoline (ok, slightly higher, but less than 10%). Diesel cycle engines, however, have higher thermal efficiencies than Otto cycle.
I do know the process, having gone through the Form 1 process a couple of times going the Trust route. Filing these forms using a Trust as the owner (or any other type of legal person, LLC, etc.) bypasses the law enforcement signature, finger prints, etc. It's a common enough way to bypass the signature requirement in jurisdictions when law enforcement isn't open to signing the forms even though they're really only signing a statement they know of no reason you don't qualify. It's not intended to be permission, though it is in many jurisdictions.
Not Class III. Class III refers to the type of tax (Special Occupation Tax) a Type 1 FFL pays to also be able to deal in Title 2 NFA firearms (machine guns, destructive devices, short barreled rifles and shotguns, silencers, and any other weapons).
Form 1 is the form used to pay the $200 tax to make a Title 2 NFA firearm. This CANNOT currently be used for machine gunes because the Firearm Owner's Protection Act prohibits any new machine guns from being added to the NFA registry. No new machine guns for citizens. This restriction on the registering of new machine guns is responsible for the astronomical price of machine guns in the US: USD 15,000+ for an M16, for example, when an "identical" semi-automatic AR-15 is under USD 1,000.
Form 4 is the other commonly used form for citizens, which is to pay the tax to transfer an already registered Title 2 firearm to a non-license holder. This is $200 for each type except for an AOW, which is $5. Machine guns already in the register (i.e. registered prior to September 1986) can be transferred on a Form 4.
There are other forms. Form 3 for transfers between SOT holders (Class III dealers or Class II manufacturers). Form 5 for tax free transfers such as to a government agency or inheritance.
Also, you can't just walk in and buy grenades. You're skipping the several months process of waiting for the Form 4 to be approved by the ATF. Also, any of these forms, when used by an individual, requires fingerprints to be taken and a signature from the head of a local law enforcement agency (sheriff, chief or police, etc.).
It's easier to buy some NFA articles in many European countries than it is in the US. For example, in several countries (Finland, for one) silencers aren't even regulated as firearms.
You can build a mortar if you fill out the right paper work for a Destructive Device. It's a Form 1. Prior to 1986 you could do machine guns on that form as well.
1. Because this is where fun stuff like pistol grips are 2. Because this is where the S/N of the gun needs to be
Nope.
There are other split receiver rifles where the serialized part is the upper receiver. For example the SIG/SAN 550 series. The lower still holds the pistol grip, trigger, and magazine but the upper is serialized.
IIRC, the AR is one of very few rifle designs where the lower is the serialize part.
With multiple propulsion systems, such as turbo jets, ram jets, solid fuel rockets, and liquid fuel rockets. Since modern torpedoes are pretty much underwater missiles, add in various methods (including electric) to drive propellers and pump jets.
Nothing new.
Heck, if you want something which looks something more like a plane check out the Kettering Bug, a WWI-era US Army cruise missile: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kettering_Bug
More like $100 for the real deal AR-15 lower. But that's mostly immaterial. Where this discussion gets interesting isn't on cost, but artificial barriers like legality or only selling in a few markets.
As an overall percentage, it's down. In the 1970s, 36% of US families stayed in the same income quintile. In the 1980s, 37%, and in the 1990s, 40%. That's reduced class mobility. How significant this is debatable, but it's not "unsubstantiated opinion and bordering on pure fiction".
On the same side of thing. Who woulda thunk it? Iran wants to get the virus writers because of the damage to their nuclear program, the RIAA for unauthroized use of songs.
Accessories which would potentially be more expensive if it wasn't a matter of just tapping in to the video output pins of the connector but required decoding of a data stream of USB, thus requiring a USB implementation as well as hardware to decode the video, etc.
Can MicroUSB carry everything the dock connector carries? Line level audio in/out? Composite video? It seems to me they have at least a semi-valid reason for going proprietary to be able to include all the connectivity the dock connector provides without sourcing and finding space within the device for all the different connectors required.
Of if they determine it's the Higgs Boson but it behaves just differently than theory predicts under certain conditions it could lead to lots of things. E.g. quantum mechanics came from noticing that classical mechanics didn't really explain things well on the (very) small scale.

They can with the right SOT, etc.

So as long as you make it for yourself and don't sell it or give it away, it's Federally legal.
Maybe not. But, IIRC, there is a fair amount of case law which does take that view.
And until it takes about as much time to recharge as fill a tank of gas, i.e. under 10 minutes.

QR codes have a history of almost 2 decades, mostly for the industrial market. Its widespread popularity came about only in the last few years.
Letters and numbers have been in use for millenia.
QR codes are pretty new on the scene for long term use.
The other side to it is, you're linking that QR code to a URL. Who's to say that will still be valid in even 5 years?

Sovereign immunity. You can't sue the US government unless it says you can. I'm not sure if they could sue over this.
Bought a case about 2 years ago at Office Depot. Not sure if they still carry it.

My best experience with an inkjet is a Hewlett Packard. I bought an HP DeskJet+ in the summer of 1990 and it's still going strong 22 years later.

Heard this as well on the World Service.
