It definitely is, but you also have to consider that it is usually OFF in the case of a phone.
x86 android tablet would make sense since you could just turn it completely off when not in use, but an x86 phone would have a standby time shorter than your average summer blockbuster.
The USA has similar regulation. http://transition.fcc.gov/telecom.html
The company I work for sells thousands of circuits on Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (ILEC) facilities (lines).
The prices are regulated and they are required to provide the same level of service, and the FCC can and frequently does fine them if they do not. The actual level of service is generally more dependent on how good you are at gaming their ticketing system than who is leasing the line, in reality.
There's no law requiring the executive branch to be inefficient.
If we take your argument at face value, why not install these devices on all cars during the inspection?
That's not the argument. The question he is posing is how tracking this single individual by GPS is any less legitimate than tracking him with an officer in an unmarked car.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda
Nobody has ever demonstrated recovery of data from a drive that had been written across with all zeros.
Maybe the NSA can do it, but they're just as likely to also have backdoors in the NIC firmware and router IOS, so what's the point of hiding from them.
You can buy an unlocked GSM phone from Newegg as easy as you like. You can also purchase a SIM-only contract from T-Mobile. These things exist. The US market is conditioned to expect the subsidized phone model, though.
Also, they both have big ears, low hairlines, and in Ahmadinejad's case, tends to be pretty excitable.
I'm still waiting for him to throw poo at the UN.
A year? We rarely have a month go by without a rodent chew. Squirrels on the aerial, rats in the underground conduit. Caterpillar and Kenworth chews are even more common.
I remember a year or two ago we had a rat chew in Chicago that took down wireless service for a customer everyone here would recognize for 24+ hours.
The Fiber Optic Network I work on has dozens of GPS antennas and if someone tried to jam them as part of some exercise I would get a rowboat and some face paint and go to war. Almost all terrestrial telecommunications now depends very heavily on GPS for timing and synchronization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_Integrated_Timing_Supply
That's 2,896 total last year, not per month. The 1.995million figure is for total rotary powered cars over the past half century. I recommend more reading, less math.
Since when are laziness and excellence mutually exclusive in a programmer? I would argue that the former encourages the latter.
Doing things manually is hard work, after all.
I believe there is a range and 100usec is the high end, I was being generous. I think I've seen as low as 7usec with slower 2.5 gbps lines using normal FEC (not higher bitrate Enhanced FEC). I'd have to dig through operations manuals to confirm.
This is on optical transport equipment that costs as much as a house, not consumer grade routers which aren't going to have FEC at all.
Maybe, I doubt it though. FEC processing on optical signals adds less than a millisecond (I think the numbers I've seen are around 100 microseconds on both ends).
I'm not saying that what they are doing is anything like FEC, but the magic of ASICs can make hard math happen really quickly.
If we're talking 'possible', PON can easily go to 10Gbps today with 40 or 100 coming around the corner. The gap between optical and wireless is even larger than you say.
Longer wavelength light would tend to reflect less and be absorbed more, for relatively useless values of 'more' in this case.
All telecom lasers are infrared, from 850 to 1610 nanometers wavelength and the long haul stuff is definitely dangerous.
Some optical amplifiers can put out 200mw+ 1550 nm light.
Even the low powered stuff I wouldn't point at my face.
That's not a false dichotomy. False dichotomy would be saying "Either my chair is made of wood, or it's made of metal" when it could actually be a wooden chair with metal legs.
I think you may be looking for 'straw man'?
There's a difference between being impacted and being scared. More people are impacted by coal and petroleum pollution, more people are scared of nuclear.

I can't believe he can live with himself after not hurting so many people and not causing so much damage. I hope he burns in hell.
The other problem is that the 95% which comprise intended consequences consist entirely of making the correct people filthy fucking rich, see cap and trade.

This is not true in my experience. Larger companies inevitably do buy the smaller companies once they start gaining ground, though.

Maybe we just assume this of artists, ancestral or otherwise?
They also don't have the restriction of manpower.

My bad, I mistook your point that they are almost at 2 million.

Wouldn't recommend a visible spectrum laser (although something in the 35mW range might work) because they could also blind you
Infrared is as dangerous or more than visible light. With an infrared laser you don't know to blink until it's too late.

More of the "I need a mini-van but am too insecure" mentality, really.
Oops, Carl Friedrich, oh well. Nobody names a kickass weapon a 'Carl-gun' anyway.
