Though with a max speed of 25mph, they're probably factoring "cuteness" more than wind resistance.

If they were terrorists, the TSA probably should have done something like stopped them from getting on the airplane and calling law enforcement. It's somewhat ridiculous to think that there are potential terrorists getting on planes and all we're doing about them is throwing their bombs in the trash before the board.

The TSA actually relaxed regulations on knitting needles after noticing that no one has ever hijacked anything with them.

Yeah, and it could take years for the content to travel across the country. Now it takes milliseconds, so copyright should be scaled appropriately as well.

It connected to a central server but the voice information was transferred P2P in the past- MS has replaced it mostly with their own servers as relays because routing is so troublesome.

Like a giant shaft? That doesn't sound very efficent. Would also restrict wind turbines to along the water line.

Here in Massachusetts we have far fewer ccp holders and practically no one carries guns outside of law enforcement, but we also don't have gun battles breaking out or people "trying stuff" that would be stopped by guns.

Basically, it's more due to us living in a safe country than the number of guns.

But Google benefited from Snowden's actions. It was from the documents he released that let them know the NSA was tapping links between data centers.

Officer: "Have you been recording me? Let me see your phone."
Person: "Officer, you may have my phone..."
Officer: *yoink* "Thank you for your cooperation"

Well they couldn't really get to a worse situation than they are at the moment, so why not go for it?

I'm more concerned about the "papers" that contain gibberish nonsense than one where the author isn't correct. Those are both names that could easily exist, but even if they didn't, it shouldn't be a problem to publish an article by Anonymous as long as it's peer-reviewed and contains good material.

I didn't say it's OK - I think it's a bad idea but I don't believe in supporting my arguments with misleading or inaccurate facts.

The $9.50 figure is also per year, not per month

Looks like it would be about $9.50 on average in CA. However this is also assuming the router is being used a max power 24/7 when it's sharing and would be completely idle 24/7 if it wasn't. It's more likely people would be using their own router so it wouldn't be idle in which case it would use a negligible amount for sharing.

Auto threading is extremely useful - it makes messages make much more sense since they're in order and together

I end up using my email that way. Emails about stuff I haven't dealt with stay in the inbox (though only one for each thing) and when the task is done I archive it. I don't create emails for that purpose, it's more like an email with tickets to a show or someone suggesting a feature for a program I'm working on or a credit card statement.
