I have never, N E V E R taken the NYT BS list seriously. If a novel, can debut at #1, it should be obvious that the fix is in, the list is rigged, it's either buying the spot or paying off the managers quietly.
When I began to consider buying books for entertainment, I realized this whole best-seller stuff was as fake as can be.
And while we're at it, those books released a week before the next version of whatever is actually shipped. Advertising. Pathetic.
Cyberspace was created, developed, or fashioned, around 1878. It was the telephone, and when people could use it to project their presence in real time, cyberspace was a thing, concept, or result.
As if you didn't know that already. The Internet was initially not even real-time for human communications. E-mail predates the Internet we think of anyways. Nothing you think you know is that simple.
The 'call to arms' is to first call out our government and representatives. They need to be reminded that this is not acceptable, and that we are serious about our 2nd Amendment rights.
Second, such a training exercise serves several purposes - desensitizing the public to military operations in urban areas, as I've posted earlier, is a possiblity. One we should react to with rejection and an admonition to avoid this in the future.
Seriously? As if the military doesn't already have training facilities for this? We've fought a war in that region. Training was apparently sufficient. Miami was not needed.
But this is as likely a desensitization exercise. When we're used to our own military overflying us in urban areas we will be less likely to ask 'why?' Since our military is supposed (as in -used to be-) to not be operating against us as citizens, this is important. Get us to accept that, and a giant hurdle is overcome.
And gunfire would be a logical next step. I see they combined the two, very efficient.
Seriously, I've joked for years that I will buy another gun when my government tells me I can't have one. I should not wait, for that is too late.
I mostly agree with you. But if we are nit actually collecting any corporate income tax revenue from large/multinational cos, why bother with the law? Just simplify things. Lower taxes for cos Will lead to growth, but that's a fight we don't seem to really want.
Nor to mention how actually raising taxes on cos won't have any impact on prices. Might lower them, might not, but imagine even a minimal real tax on some of the biggest cos. Nothing changes?
My real problem here ia that federal spending ia currently unrestrained. More tax revenue won't even slow down growth of the deficit. It would be like giving free heroin to the addict. That is not treatment. No resolution.

It's not the sign that makes your house secure.
It's the dog.
Not news at all.

No, you need to set your filters differently. Same result without coding.

Does this mean I'll see mod points in another year?
Serves both purposes, doesn't it? For them and us.
So your explanation is 'for the heck of it'.
And is this supposed to comfort me in any way?
Same effect.
So it's a two-fer.
Fair enough.
Good to hear. Let's avoid armed revolution...
Well, the TSA tries the 'FREEZE' tactic in ariports. It sure feels like obedience training.
Ok, so what;s the current threat? Rand Paul? Marco Rubio?
Wrong on two counts.

Who's government is it, anyways?
Around here, they are all behind the table, dealing blackjack or raking the table.
Just another jail.
Since it is claimed that the military were shooting blanks, I suspect they would make a call.
Or return later. Defiance cannot be tolerated.
Seriously? As if the military doesn't already have training facilities for this? We've fought a war in that region. Training was apparently sufficient. Miami was not needed.
We can put up at least as much fight as any group of Somalis. Even with shotguns and the odd .300 Savage. Save the .30-06 for more dire circumstances.
No excuse necessary, apparently.

Absolutely, I'm with you. now go convince the other guys.
Stop that! you're being honest again!
'prevent people from breaking their contracts'...
What? Go break your contract - they don;t hinder that.. Pay the ETF. Rethink that first. Stay put.
Or move on. Break contract and pay, you are free as in less than beer.
This may have be about unlocking phones to change carriers, fees or not, but it probably impacts rooting if read correctly.
Bad law. We should be petitioning our representatives to rewrite it.
And there are not.
Ergo, need. At least want, and the cell phone industry is dependent on WANT, not NEED. So finish the job, and let us get more of what we WANT.
... is a HOT cup of tea.
And a ROMable phone I can restore to factory condition if needed. I'll take my chances with a hosed phone if it happens.
If that was now it worked, I would be happy with it. But It's Wrong.
