It doesn't work that way. Not only did we not have immigration laws, the reality is that was hundreds of years ago. It was tragic, horrible, and vile. But, not one person is alive who is responsible for it.
Oh, they'd have to figure out how to live for many generations in space - like, lots. If they can do that, there's no reason for them to even enter a gravity well - except to mine it for resources. Physics doesn't prevent this. Engineering kinda does, for the moment and probably the remainder of our lives as a species. Physics really isn't all that stringent. Physics allows for even time travel - it's just really unlikely that we'll ever figure out how to do it. Physics doesn't much care if we get off the planet.
This is probably a good thing. In the end, entropy will kill us all - no matter what. It's probably best that we not infest the universe with humans. We pretty much suck, as a species. We're far more likely to cause our own extinction than we are to cooperate.
No. No laws of physics prevent us from getting off this planet. I would suggest that you aren't actually well versed in physics. There are a number of plausible ways off the planet, that do not break the laws of physics. They do stretch credulity, however.
No, we could get off the planet. We could even live the rest of our species lives without ever entering another gravity well. Physics doesn't actually say you can't do that. Engineering says we won't do it. Politics says we won't do it. Practicality says we won't do it. Physics doesn't say much about the subject.
No, we are not going to infest the galaxy with humans. This is probably a good thing. We simply can't stop competing long enough to cooperate and we've not actually invented anything with which to do this. We could, physics absolutely allows for this. We're not going to, because we suck.
I sometimes ask to speak to the manager, but only because I want to tell the manager that the employee was exceptionally good. I will be happy to talk to a manager, if they ask. I expect the phone jockey to have limited power, limited info, and limited time. They can move me up the chain, if needed. I am polite, at least to them. It isn't their fault if their company screwed up.
It is also taken out of context. They did not make the trains run on time. Not even close. My understanding is that it was usually sarcastic. Trains, and the fascists, just weren't that reliable.
That they ask this question, in this manner, makes me uncertain that they can even configure a dedicated appliance properly. They probably aren't even remotely familiar with a specific vendor's myriad choices and methods. Juniper is not the same as Cisco, for example.
My suggestion is to hire a qualified professional. If they have to ask Slashdot, they are not a qualified professional. This is not meant to be an insult, they probably are very good at something else. If you're going to take security seriously, hire a professional. If you're not going to hire a professional, don't even bother trying something like this.
If they don't hire a professional, and attempt this, they might just as well ready their PR team to deal with the near certain eventual outcome of data exfiltration. It's going to happen. Hire a damned professional and be prepared to buy some equipment.
It does make me curious. There are places near me that get no cell service. I am atop a mountain, more or less, and able to get two bars, sometimes. There are no wifi devices that are open for guest access - for miles. Not even the maps in GPS devices are accurate for this area. I am not even that remote. I can get grid power and Ihave DSL.
Just a bit further past me, there's no cell service for many, many miles. Hell, there's a pretty big hunk that doesn't even have power. This is a routed highway. This is in the US. I kinda figure dumb appliances will be around for a while longer.
That I am an asshole is not disputed. I am, and I'm okay with that. However, this doesn't make me an asshole. Driving in blizzards is a fantastic thing. The roads are all twisty mountain roads and have very little traffic. It'd be pretty fun.
I'd even tip them. We'd have a blast.
No, I'm an asshole because I not only think you're borderline mentally retarded but I tell you that's what I think. That is why I am an asshole.
Slashdot Mirror
/. was never good.
For 100 tokens, they will do anything.
No saved state? That's what your fingers are for. You can go back, if you die.
Rule #2 seems unlikely.
I am so native that Canada has to let me in.

I am going to guess that you're far less learned than Greene. What, specifically, prevents time travel - according to physics?
Order rough cut. The dimensions are the dimensions after planing.
I can think of no time when the planet cooperated, as far as humans go. There is always conflict and competition. We're not going to ever have peace.

Do they have a security section?
Thus the term qualified professional.
This is definitely something they shouldn't do themselves.

I agree. He should definitely start going to storage locker auctions.
For the record, that is a joke. No, don't do this.

I actually remember the ads. I don't recall ever calling anyone who used one, however. Huh... Were they ever really popular?
Valid point.
Well, being closer does make it easier.

Buncha pussies! ;-)
I am not that hardcore.
They still deserve a living wage and it may just be that they are having a poor day. I am not inclined to make it worse.
You weirdo.
