Naughty FCC
I will need to haul them FCC commisioners over my knees and spank them in front of my hacked servers that are now spewing illegal spam advertising illegal knockoffs of my trademarked lighted clear plastic raincoats
Luv you all

I thought that we had reached consensus during the discussion about weakening US cinema ticket sales that we are sick and tired of the content that 'The Industry' is giving us each year.
And now we are griping about not being able to see that content?
I have solved that problem years ago. I spend my spare time doing art work and making things; ie; I make my own entertainment.
Whomever suggests that we 'get a life' just may be right. Isn't that what we got a consensus on durin yesterdays' discussion on movie attendance?
Once upon a time at Christmas, 1999.
I spent two weeks in my woodworking shop making a heirloom quality solid maple and cherry chest style toy box. It was sturdy enough that it could also function as a bench style seat.
Here is an archive.org cache of the toy box from my old web site: https://web.archive.org/web/20...
I made this gift for my sister who had two young boys.
When I previewed this gift to my mother, she told me that I was not finished and the at need to rush out to the store and get some theme toys to put into the toy box.
At 5 PM on Chrstmas Eve.
Yeah, right. After spending 2 weeks lovingly working on this project, only to be expected to rush out on Christmas eve to buy movie theme toys to stuff in it.
Sorry, I told mom that I would rather make nice sugary brownies for Christmas Eve dinner.
If I go alone to a dollar house; bring my own trail mix and buy only whatever semi healthy food they have; I can return home from an evening out still holding change from a $10.00 bill.
I have never been challenged bringing my own food into a theater. I have only been challenged once and that was at PGE Park or whatever they call it now where the soccar team plays.
The kids went to the Saturday Matene, which was another big event.
In fact, one of the so called dollar houses, the Avalon on Belmont, had a better sound system and better sound isolation between the auditoriums than the first run Lloyd on Multnomah.
The musicals of the 1950's through the 1970's.
I long for another 'Sound of Music', 'Evita', 'Jesus Christ Superstar', or 'West Side Story'.
Those were movies that I long for and I often watch from DVD's (For those of you here in Portland, Oregon; Movie Madness is a very wonderful resource).
Hollywood has seems to have lost that art as well.
And don't forged the security surveillence camera that will record someone doing such an act.
Sorry, but no cookie.
These are armored quite well.
I saw one dissassembled once when they were doing maintenance on it. The casing is 1/2 in steel. The glass porthole for the lens is 1/2 inch laminated glass; ie; two panes of glass sandwitching a pane of clear acrylic; similar to your windshield. The radar port (radome) is 1/2 inch plastic. It's transparent to the radar frequencies (I believe these guys use 2.5 ghz), but it cannot be broken. Just for the fun of it, I later found a piece of the same plastic but, just 1/4 inch thick. in a scrap pile at a community workshop that I belong to. I put that piece in a vice and tried to smash it with a hammer. No go.
No, I think a bullet; shotgun pellits; or especially a bat, would do nothing to these devices.
