    Zero tolerance itself is not a society friendly policy.

    No, but why does it matter? The restaurant owner is probably using CCTV and streaming it to HD. That's his right, and all you can do about it is not patronise his restaurant. More likely he as an owner doesn't want people doing 'food shots' - and that should be a warning perhaps against eating there.

    That was money that was embezzled.

    Not at all the same things as incompetence.

    "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." - Hanlon's law. Or RAH - However, they aren't mutually exclusive. I suspect there was stupidity and cupidity at work.

    And it the government hadn't bailed them out, leaving the economy even further in the shit than it is now, you would have blamed that on the government too.

    Au contraire. If the US banks, for instance, had not been bailed out the economy would have rebooted itself in the same manner as a malware infested computer system can be rebooted and rid itself of the malware in the process of installing the operating system and trusted applications afresh. Yes, your wife is definitely to blame for the economic crisis of two thousand and eight.

    Rid itself of malware, just like that? Obviously not a Windows Administration then.

    Apropos the wife, have you stopped beating her yet?

    FDA

    The agency that is butthurt over nicotine vaporization devices, despite a proven track record of assisting people in quitting cigarettes and widespread endorsement by the medical community? All while our food (you might recognize the F part of FDA) continues to kill us?

    Use patches, I don't wan't someone vaporising nicotine into enclosed airspaces any more than I want them venting tobacco smoke into them.

    Way to twist my argument. It's just gospel these days that there's nothing government can do that private enterprise can't do better.

    Yes, Australia has random breath testing. The first stage test is something less than a minute. Obviously if you test positive, they do stuff like blood testing. You have the option not to comply, but that means you don't get to drive.

    A hotel basement location might make them think guests are playing... It also provides a simple way to monetize the service, you "rent a room" and get a connectionâ¦

    How sick would a person have to be to rent a hotel room so they can gamble online? How addicted? If you want to get rid of your money, go to the movies, or to some concert, or have a nice dinner, but throwing it away gambling, that's just stupid.

    Almost like renting a room for a quick fuck.

    There's a profit incentive to let it slide, how would you code it? And for the entity setting up this hypothetical proxy in NJ, perhaps they could issue an IP to each subscriber. I'm thinking IPV6 for this.
