The Harmony Hub system supports IR/Bluetooth/RF and IP as ways to control your devices. Yes you run the risk of Logitech dropping support for the Hub but that can be true of any device. At least the Hub has a physical remote that works without a connection to a central server.

    Examples of devices controlled by my Hub:
        Roku -- RF
        PS4 -- Bluetooth
        Dish Hopper3 -- RF and IP
        Sony TV -- IR

  A larger issue is some vendors have stopped releasing control codes to third party vendors making it difficult for like Logitech and URC to support the devices.

Why?

What facts did I get wrong?

Did the armed citizen go into the church and interrupt the shooting?

Was the armed citizen a legally deputized member of law enforcement?

Did the armed citizen take the law into his own hands?

Did I criticize the armed citizen for taking action and acting as a vigilante?

Not really, from what I have read the shooter was exiting the church after shooting the parishioners when he was confronted by the citizen toting the rifle. So unless the shooter was planning on going somewhere else to shoot additional people he wasn't stopped from killing anyone. What that citizen did is act as a vigilante.

Destroyed is pretty accurate when you dismantle a satellite because you sure as hell can't reassemble it into anything resembling a serviceable satellite. Each of those pieces has to be designed to work together and assembled in a "clean room" to avoid contamination, take it apart and you sure as hell are going to have some contamination that will cause issues in space.

You can't move up the launch date if you aren't done building and certifying the replacement satellite. You don't just decide one day to build a satellite and then have a satellite ready to go the next.

Gee, I wonder how Sweden and Denmark get any work done seeing as how the effective tax rate in both countries is over 55%.

And you know those individuals voting are "Illegals" how? Do you ask to see their ID's or just assume they are illegal by the color of their skin?

From the article you quoted:

"The world still has fewer trees than at any point in human history. "

And that's a problem

China isn't the only one that doesn't give a hoot for the rest of the world he says while whistling in the wind about all those atmospheric nuclear test the United States conducted in the South Pacific.

Case in Point:
Colorado Springs refuses to spend money to clean up a storm water problem because that dirty storm water just flows downstream to Pueblo via Fountain Creek. The attitude of Colorado Springs voters is it costs too much money and not my problem because it all washes downstream to somewhere else (Pueblo).

Pueblo sued and won but C\S continues to ignore the problem. The state ignores the problem because of 500,000 voter versus 50,000 voters. Look up TABOR to see how that matters to Colorado politics.

Colorado Springs needs water from the reservoir in Pueblo but Pueblo has the water rights via Federal Law so Pueblo says NO unless you clean up Fountain Creek and the storm water issue. See the Federal Hammer. Now C/S voters are ignoring the contract they approved with Pueblo to spend 460M over 20yrs to clean up the creed but that is another story.

Citation please, the NPR station in our town is losing funding and cutting staff.

Talk to small business people that have to deal with BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC for music royalties or have been audited by BSA for software license compatibility before you think that private organizations don't hire jack booted thugs to come to your front door.

It always amuses me when people distrust the people who run government while at the same time trust the people who run corporations, as if the two are run by completely different kinds of people. You will trust someone who operates from a pure profit instead of someone who MIGHT have the common good in mind, why?

I'll try:

Maybe because they haven't committed any crimes or maybe because they haven't been convicted of any crimes or maybe because this is still a country that doesn't imprison those that are no longer in power.

As a member of the United States Air Force the government is in complete control of my healthcare, much more so than anyone under Obamacare. Guess what, turns out that the government can provide some pretty damn good healthcare.
