Every college I have been to has fully sworn and deputized Peace Officers. They are REAL police. Now you are correct in that the school police's mandates will be different than the public at large, it doesnt make it better.

A college campus SHOULDN'T have its own police. I have looked at the numbers, college police were a reaction from the 60s violence. In the last 30 years all they do is write tickets for parking and provide an unneeded presence at school.

Well put.

Lets extend this. You can only bore out the cylinders so much before you have to start looking at a new design or your cylinder walls will be too thin.

I jsut picked up a HP 7", 16 GB jelly bean android tablet WITH 4G radio and SIM for $120. Intel NUCS are $200 with RAM and the OS on flash. Raspberry PI, BeagleBones, Intel Gallileo, Arduinos equipped with SD slots. Put your data on discrete hardware, and have at it.

Postal Service IS broadband information delivery, it just has ridiculous ping times. Never underestimate how much data the USPS can ship. I would argue that USPS STILL ships more data than the internet.

Airdrop

SERIOUSLY??? Troll? I would LOVE to see you use the entire function set of an iphone 5 on a 4s. Apple fragments more elegantly, but they DO fragment.

What sucks is I have 3G service form Verizon, so i cant exploit this at all. It only applies to 4G spectrum.

Delivery companies should be absolutely forbidden by law to provide content. There is no public good reason to allow it at all.

Back in the day, everyone was afraid of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. THAT is why ISPs arent common carriers, yet. That time has passed and they think we forgot about it. We have not.

Daily postal service to all citizens is the mark of an advanced society. I dont care how much money it loses, its necessary and dont fuck with it.

I have spent considerable time and expense co-locating and properly backing up my personal photographs and other data. I also still burn them to optical disc just to have a copy that isnt on a hard drive. I spent hours discussing on Slashdot what the best practices are. As a HOME user, I am co-located, with offline backups on disparate media. I couldnt imagine running a business without AT LEAST that level of backup.

Go ahead excuse morons, but I wont.

Thats the hilarious part, MS had the opportunity to have a HUGE lead here, and they squander it with partnering and playing the car manufacturers games.

Apple has fragmentation too, but they hide it MUCH better.
