It's just a coincidence. Consider Walter Koenig. Essentially, the only difference in concealing between Pavel Checkov's Starfleet uniform and Alfred Bester's Psi-corps uniform were the gloves. When Ben Bowder and Claudia Black transitioned from Farscape to Stargate SG-1, their clothing/costume coverage remained unchanged. There are lots of other examples.
Victims of crime are going to oppose this vehemently. "They guy only served three years for raping and murdering my daughter? What kind of sentence is that?"
"Eye for an eye" was a limit on vengance - as opposed to "They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue.". It was not a formula for justice.
I remember dreaming at a keyboard, and when I snapped awake, I had found that I had typed words from my dream into my code. I decided that it was time to go home at that point.
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.
Is automatically recording the data traversing a third party network a violation the 4th, so long as the warrant for searching that data is not based on that data?
The problem with all of this is that warrants used to mean that if you had reasonable suspicion, you could ask nicely, and if you found something that gave you probable cause, you could get a search warrant.
The unstated assumption is that only the things you find after you get the search warrant are admissible. The assumption was unstated because time machines didn't exist.
...
We now have the ability to quite literally go back in time and look at everything someone ever said, preceding the time at which the warrant was issued.
So law enforcement personnel aren't allowed to use security tapes from surveillance cameras, or ISP server logs, or any sort of record keeping? Sorry. We have always had the ability to "go back in time" to retrieve evidence.
why would the US want to track a commercial aircraft, literally half a world away?
For the same reason they would want to track a nuclear-armed ICBM aimed at Washington, DC from anywhere in the world.
I was unaware that commercial aircraft carried nuclear warheads and could be launched against US targets from anywhere in the world. However, I do know that if that were the case, the US would be one large puddle of nuclear glass by now.
Way to miss the point. Bell Canada has a de-facto monopoly on phone lines, especially long distance trunk lines, so effectively all DSL traffic in the entire country, as well as all voice traffic moves via Bell Canada's network. Tap into the Bell backbone(s), and you tap into the entire country.
Simple work-arounds: Issue plates based on your birthdate - even birthdate, even plate; odd birthdate, odd plate. Or issue odd numbered plates to people who already have odd numbered plates and even plates to those who already have even plates.
OED says: "America, the name of a land mass of the Western hemisphere, consisting of the two continents of North and South America, joined by the Isthmus of Panama".
It also says "Used as a name for the United States" right on the very next line.
How about a ballon on a string with an AP dangling? Could provide power up the cord power and data to the bound and costs around $1.50...
You might be able to get string for a balloon for $1.50, but it will cost $25 for a big enough balloon and roughly $40/lb of lift to buy helium to fill it.
The US is painfully self isolated. In Canada, you'll see all three of YMD, DMY and MDY. You'll see two digit years and 4 digit years. It is a mess and it would not surprise me if people have lost their lives over it. All I'm suggesting is that people use 4 digit years and alphabetic months. That would make it completely unambiguous no matter which endian you use.
... and don't get me started on the US and the metric system.
I would think writing it as it is spoken would be the most unambiguous format possible. To insist otherwise is a lot like demanding 3 be pronounced as two or cat instead of as three.
But people aren't writing it as it is spoken, unless you are trying to argue that "2" is pronounced "February". Besides, just as many people say "third of April" as "April the third".
It doesn't matter how you SAY it. What matters is how you WRITE it, and unless you write it in an unambiguous format, you are not communicating fully or properly.
So we should use a format that makes no sense because the rest of the system makes no sense? In every other taxonomy we progress from largest group to the smallest, or from the smallest to the largest. Only in dates do people start in the middle.

Did it compile?
That wasn't the kind of dream I was having.

Nice try. I know math late at night might be hard.
4 meters = ~13 feet
250Kg = ~550 lbs. = ~1/4 ton
Must be a hunter or fisherman. "You should have seen the one that got away..."
Do they need to be cozy? Is it not part of their charter that they monitor the data coming into the country from a foreign nation?

No need to go that far. The Buffalo to Detroit link probably goes through Canada.

NORAD claims to monitor all flying objects around the entire earth, from ground level to 22,000 miles above the surface.
[Citation Required], and no, the fact that they can track Santa Claus doesn't count.
And just how, pray tell, does the US get access to foreign radar? It's not like THAT info is transmitted over phone lines.
I'd like that transcript to PROVE HER WRONG first...
Yeah. Since when does pointing out a woman's flaws keep you OUT of the doghouse?

Easy to hunt. Nests vulnerable. Virus brought in by the humans (in a classical reverse of bird flu!) Competed for similar resources?
Possibly the eggs or feathers made great hats.
My guess is that it's the same thing that happened to the dodo: rats and pigs (brought by humans) pillaging the nests.

The World Bank uses a world recognized unit of measure, and that somehow makes them anti-american? How did Americans get so paranoid?

Yes, it is a silly game. Two of us know I am right, but only one of us is willing to admit it.
