Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
One does not need to be a lawyer to understand what this means. It is absolutely clear that email DOES apply to this. The constitution is not a complicated document, and it is not designed to require a modern law degree to understand.
I've been noticing the same problem. I don't know what they did in their updates, but my TomTom used to find everything just fine. Now, it consistantly says places that have been in the same location for literally decades, are in other places a mile or two away. It knows where I am, it just doesn't know where anything else is anymore.
Ideally, the pipe would be municipally owned, and 20 different companies could just pull their wires through the pipe at a couple of hundred dollars a pop.
And before anyone gets confused and misunderstands because of their preconcieved notions... No, I do NOT mean 'pipe' as in data pipe. I mean 'pip' as a concrete/steel/iron pipe, made like the ones used for our sewer system. Cities are not experienced, nor do they have the skill sets to handle data. They are experienced and have the skill set for running physical tubes to peoples homes. Most cities have 2 or three sets of pipes that the city already manages to run to their homes just fine. A set of pipes the same size as our sewer pipes would easily accommodate 2 or 3 dozen competitors. It would also mean that when the next wave of upgrades comes, the streets would not need to be dug up AGAIN to make the upgrades.
What you are seeing is large scale insanity. It is strange to you because you have not realized that a huge portion of the population (may a majority) can not completely differentiate between a human and a dog/cat/etc.
You live in a fantasy land. The number of women that do not sell sexuality, if not actual sex is in the fractions of a percent.
And, yes, you are a prude. When you start claiming that the only way women could enjoy strippers is if rationalize away their principals, you are the very definition of prude.

I would be more interested in having one that was in color than having one with a fast display. Give me WiFi and a color e-ink screen, and I will buy a dozen to hang on my walls. The current digital picture frames are a nich market right now because most people don't want to have wires running from every picture to keep the display running. They also have to fiddle too much to get new pictures on them.
A) People that have gotten the vaccine are still getting shingles.
B) The tests they have done that do show promise in preventing with the vaccine have shown to work just as well with people who have had chicken pox naturally.
C) Shingles is a major inconvenience, not a deadly disease the way chicken pox is in adults.
D) The chick pox vaccine is only temporary.
The shingles angle is a red herring being used because the chicken pox vaccine is showing to be worse than nothing when it comes to the risks of chicken pox.
I'm with you. I am confident that getting my son vaccinated for polio was the right decision. The vaccine that I have the most concern about is the chicken pox vaccine. Chicken pox is a major inconvenience to children on par with a bad flu. In adults on the other hand it is a serious disease with dramatically higher mortality rates. The chicken pox vaccine is showing to only delay people getting the disease. This turns a major inconvenience into a deadly problem.
I find your stance interesting. You seem to deride those who don't get vaccines for their kids, then follow up with deriding parents who do get the Chicken Pox vaccine. Is that because you have an opinion about that specific vaccine which singles it out?
When a character that stands on two feet, speaks English and dresses in human clothes is put on the screen, it is no longer an "animal". It is a person. Specifically the fetish for these anthropomorphized characters are called "Furries". It amazes me how many people rationalize that if it is animated Furry Porn, that it is OK to market it to kids. If your into furry porn, that's fine, but it shouldn't be marketed directly to prepubescent children any more than any other porn, fetish or not, should be.
Exactly. I quick count and it looks like I have 7 devices that actively running Linux in my home. I have 6 that run Windows. While many people might consider this to be a lot of computing devices, it is only the number of Windows machines that they would really be surprised to see.
I'm the opposite. I have seen many bands that sounded far worse live than on CD. I might even go so far as to say that MOST bands sound worse live than on CD.
You seem to have missed the current trend in "kids" movies. Shrek 2 had a character performing auto-fellatio. Casper had Casper excited because he had a girl in his bed. Happy Feet had the King Penguin asking the women which one was going to go first in the orgy they were about to have. Cars had a character talking about the woman's deposit load here tattoo. The list goes on and on. Any more, it isn't a question of which children's movies have inappropriate content. It's a question of which movies don't.
You are too stuck in the self destructive monopoly run mindset to understand what I just said. No, the government should NOT provide data services. the government should provide a pipe to each home. I mean a real honest to goodness cylinder. When I say like your sewer line, I mean LIKE YOUR SEWER LINE. A pipe about the same size would be just fine to allow several dozen different companies pull cables into your home. Local governments know how to run pipes to homes. They do not know how to run data lines to homes. A pipe is a low tech device that would not need to be changed for at least a hundred years. Data lines are high tech, and need to be upgraded regularly.
Again, the word "PIPE" is being used literally as a in the same kind of pipe that the city runs water and sewer through. "PIPE" in this context is NOT a euphemism for a data cable.
Besides, on the internet, the nerds are as, if not more, powerful than the football players. We can't have that. How will our schools function if we allow the natural order to become corrupted?
You are right that our problems are caused by monopoly/duopoly. You are wrong that right of way need be a problem with having competition. A system that looks almost identical to our sewer system, minus the crap, would mean that competing providers could come and go at a fraction of the cost. Laying data lines directly in the ground is the short term thinking of a monopoly. The idea being that the lines being laid at that time are all the lines that will ever need to be laid.
When you start thinking about it as infrastructure designed to provide a means for competition, the picture changes dramatically.
This is why the solution is for cities and counties to put in pipes. Yes, pipes. Like they do for sewer. They already have experience in it, and then new lines could be put in without the cost, damages, and politics that current prevent upgrades. From a local government perspective, our sewer infrastructure, and our high speed data infrastructure should look almost identical. Just drop most of the pumps used for pushing shit around, and collect use fees from a smaller number of sources, since the people using the pipes would be the data providers instead of the feces providers.
The idea that only one last mile provider is a large part of why we have the problems we have. Running cable is pretty cheap, and takes up very little space. The big costs in getting multiple data lines to the home is not in the cable itself. It is in all of the associated costs around eminent domain, digging up streets, and such. As you have already pointed out, cities already have experience in supply a pipe to our homes. Yes, I mean an actual, honest to goodness pipe. Most homes in cities actually have three separate pipes that lead into their house. As you said, gas, water and sewer. A pipe system almost identical to the sewer system (without most of the pumps) would be large enough to handle a dozen competing last mile providers.
The cities could get revenue through rent, Consumers would get choice of providers, providers could enter markets that are currently barred to them, citizens wouldn't have to have deal with an pay for their streets to be dug up any time someone wants to increase bandwidth, business could get honest to goodness dedicated lines between separate buildings within a city, and cities would be able to stick with providing a low tech solution that they are highly experienced in.
Those damns laws of thermodynamics say large scale plants are inherently more efficient even accounting for transmission losses.
Is just false with "Laws of Thermodynamics" incorrectly included to try to make a statement that is just plain wrong, sound scientific and irrefutable.
Throwing the phrase "Laws of Thermodynamics" in front of your argument does not make your point true. There is nothing in the "Laws of Thermodynamics" that say a large plant are inherently more efficient than a small one. The statement is complete absurd.

Why bother... It's not like those lasers ever killed anyone.
Uh, yes it does, smaller plants have more surface area per volume so they will lose more energy to an area of less heat (ie the environment).
and
As another person pointed out this scaling only works so far in practice, but that's at the high end of the current generation facility size.
directly contradict each other, don't you?
