Two product liability lawsuits where the businesses sued had no nexus in the states where the suits were brought. The third concerns the legality of using public campaign funds.
UAVs are smaller, more versatile, cheaper to buy and maintain, stealthier, don't get tired(in the traditional sense) and can loiter for greater periods. The Canadians estimate each F35 at $150M. I don't see an advantage for the F35 that UAVs won't meet or exceed in a few more years. The F35 is a plane looking for a mission, like the Comanche attack helicopter was.
The Senate just drove a stake into the Navy’s high-tech heart. The directed energy and electromagnetic weapons intended to protect the surface ships of the future? Terminated.
The Free Electron Laser and the Electromagnetic Rail Gun are experimental weapons that the Navy hope will one day burn missiles careening toward their ships out of the sky and fire bullets at hypersonic speeds at targets thousands of miles away. Neither will be ready until at least the 2020s, the Navy estimates. But the Senate Armed Services Committee has a better delivery date in mind: never.
The committee approved its version of the fiscal 2012 defense authorization bill on Friday, priced to move at $664.5 billion, some $6.4 billion less than what the Obama administration wanted. The bill “terminates” the Free Electron Laser and the rail gun, a summary released by the committee gleefully reports.
“The determination was that the Free Electron Laser has the highest technical risk in terms of being ultimately able to field on a ship, so we thought the Navy could better concentrate on other laser programs,” explains Rick DeBobes, the chief of staff for the committee. “With the Electromagnetic Rail Gun, the committee felt the technical challenges to developing and fielding the weapon would be daunting, particularly [related to] the power required and the barrel of the gun having limited life.”
If you shine a light on government waste, incompetence or malfeasance be prepared for the government to use its unlimited checkbook and unaccountable law enforcement types to make your life a living hell.
FF5 is in beta3 and will be out in the next few months. At that point FF3.6, 4.0 and 5.0 will be newer than 3.5. Is it rational to support 4 versions of a browser? I say support no more than two versions or all major releases within the past 12 months, whichever is higher.
Why does each agency needs its own heat packing force? The current system seems incredibly inefficient and prone to abuse. Why can't the FBI do investigative work so NASA can focus on aeronautics, space and ET?

Not absurd. FOIA was created on the basis that people have the right to know. To that end the burden should be on the person trying to hide or cover up information.

Both of these update from the internet after booting up.
Some states want to tax using driving habits based upon GPS. What would this mean for states' or feds' attempts to require GPS in all motor vehicles?

Otherwise a bank teller that gives money to a robber that's pointing a gun at them is supporting terrorism.
Is elective surgery paid for by the taxpayer? If so, what is not?
ICBMs are only big drones that launch warheads at a target.
How far away is this spectacle? Aren't gamma rays harmful?
Paypal demands access to your checking account after $10k of purchases. It is reckless to permit any third party access to a checking account.
What happens when Paypal gets hacked and people's checking accounts start getting drained?

Stealing from the taxpayer by government contractors or government bureaucrats is tantamount to treason.
Too many federal law enforcement agencies.

What ever happened to the 4th amendment? Isn't that federal law?

Just like the Do Not Call list which has exceptions for political organizations. Politicians will abuse it during election cycles.
Or disable them, other than jamming GPS or cell phone?
In the US you get fired for asserting your authority with customers.
The WRVS4400N has mediocre reviews at Amazon and Newegg.
Be careful what you wish for. A new law may outlaw non-commercial open wi-fi or it may make wi-fi router owners legally responsible for its users.
