Not in my town, bus stops are for city bus use only, period, no exception; they made a big deal about it in the local media about a year ago. Pull into one with your personal vehicle, you're going to be looking at a minimum $250 fine.

Your concept of legality, apparently. FWIW, there is no universal, federal law regulating bus stops, as far as I'm aware.

With a 5 page rant-blog? That seems to be his default response to criticism.

NYC has come up with a solution to this issue: Poor Doors, so the goodly rich inhabiting luxury apartments don't have to sully their eyes with visions of the lowly proles who serve them.

He is mad, because a corporation is being given a free pass to do something a private citizen would be ticketed for, which is a legitimate bitch, if somewhat petty.

Now, if Google paid for and built their own bus stops, or more reasonably, paid a fee to the city and worked with the existing public transit system to set up a schedule for using the existing bus stops? That would be ideal.

To a certain degree, he has a point - trying to shoehorn non-networking functions, like web and media serving, into a network device is kind of stupid - you're just going to end up wasting processing cycles on processes that don't have much-if-anything to do with routing.

Now, to say that a WAP should be a WAP and nothing else, ie no routing, firewall, or switching functions (other than what a WAP requires)? Sure, makes a lot of sense... if you're made of money. While you're at it, go buy one of those $10,000 firewall appliances too.

If you're like me, and you are not made of money, and/or you like hacking on stuff, there's nothing wrong with picking up a WRT router at a garage sale for 5 bucks and slapping a fairly feature-rich DD-WRT build on it, presuming you got a model with enough space and power to handle the functions you want to use.

I have a Linksys E900 I've been running DD-WRT on for a while, and never had a lick of trouble with it until this week, when the WAN port fried thanks to a power surge (caused by some dumbass with a drill...).

That's the router I'd recommend, as it's 802.11n, has enough space in flash to support a pretty feature-rich build of DD-WRT, and can be had for less than $50.

FTFY, so you can see how obvious the answer is.

Those bastards!

Assuming this truly was the case, even just for the sake of argument, it would still be more cost effective for me to let it slide than pay my lawyer. Especially considering that I don't expect to purchase 44 TVs in my lifetime.

On the one hand, I agree with this, especially considering that Sony is pretty well known for their shady business practices.

On the other hand... I just bought a monitor that Tigerdirect advertised as 22", but when it was delivered the box says 21.5", and I don't think that's really worth paying my lawyer $250/hr to handle.

In my research, the DIC panel is about the only thing on those trucks that doesn't require a reprogram. I've even heard swapping radios requires it, although in fairness I haven't bothered to verify that claim.

Well, then, I find it quite telling that you consider the term "ignorant" to be an insult. It also explains why you seem to choose to remain that way.

FYI, informing a person they don't know something about something isn't insulting, it's an opportunity for that person to learn, and thus, be ignorant no more. Shame you don't see it that way.

Yea, the feds were going to crucify him for a petty B&E, not for disseminating information they didn't want disseminated.

Because that makes sense.

Interesting, as I knew you were going to cherry pick that particular one of the many valid examples I gave.

However, you're welcome to your opinion, as I am welcome to the opinion that you should take your playground bullying and go fuck yourself.

Chelsea Manning, Leonard Peltier, The Cuban 5, likely at least a handful of Gitmo inmates, and of course all those Occupiers who didn't actually commit crimes.

Oh, and every pothead in jail, ever (although in fairness, they're incarcerated for doing something harmless the government doesn't like, as opposed to saying stuff).

Aaron Swartz would be there too, if not for... extenuating circumstances.

Surely you don't believe that there's no such thing as a political prisoner in the for-profit prison industry, do you? If so, that tells me that you don't know enough about the topic to be commenting from a position of knowledge, but rather one of ignorance.
