Wall sockets aren't dangerous either. Until you take the face plate off and stick your finger in there.

You might not have a problem with it, but for me personally, I'm not going to go play on the sharks dinner table, at dinner time.

At what point did Americans substitute the word "truther" for "crackpot"?

They're not exactly expensive these days if you're not looking for, say, a gaming rig. $200 buys you something perfectly serviceable new, and obviously used PCs are widely available too.

Doesn't matter. A few years ago, I came into possession of a stack of ex-corporate laptops. 10 or 15 of them. Sprinkled them around, for free, to some of my kids friends families who would otherwise not have a PC.
Within a year, all but one were sold, stolen, pawned, or broken.

Please mod the parent to 11.

And you continue to completely miss the point

and it does so for a tiny fraction of the installation (per mile) cost of light rail
Minus any info other than what is on their website, your blanket statement is meaningless. It may be cheaper, it may not be.

Build one. Show the world it is cheaper.

Interestingly, the number of SkyTran style installations is exactly zero, outside of novelties like DisneyLand.

Given a sufficient quantity of handwavium, anything can be cheaper than what we already have installed.

Citation needed.

Some other fool did not install the panel properly, and left one of the three nuts off. Distinctive nuts, used in only one place.
Someone found it overnight, and held it up at the morning meeting. "Anyone know where this goes?" Unfortunately, I did not recognize it as a part one of my systems.

Aircraft flew, panel breaks off, punching several other holes in the side as it departs.
Training mission aborted. much sheet metal work needed.

Actual repair cost? Unknown, but easily 5 figures if not more.

Why do arrest records have to be public?

Would you like them to be not public?
"No, we have no idea where your hubby Joe Smith is. We haven't arrested him"
'But he was seen in the back of your patrol car!'
"Nope, sorry lady"

Who do we root for? Prenda, FBI, or PirateBay.

What I want to know is: Can I bring an outside phone in and use the tracfone prepaid plans?
I had a line on a OnePlus a few months ago, but passed because I could find no definitive yea or nay on the plan thing.

For my use, the $100/1200 minutes/1 year plan is just right.

And in which case, directional RF jamming does nothing as well. The thing is flying on its own.
We're back to square one again.

Well, yes. Obviously it would be a lot safer than shooting the thing. I never suggested shooting it.

But the problem is not how it is controlled, RF or GPS..but rather who is controlling it. Fix the moron, rather than intercept his RC toy.

I wonder what else uses RF and GPS? Aircraft and firefighters on the ground, possibly?

I'm glad you people weren't around when the Wright bros were doing their thing. Or the Panama Canal. Or the Hoover Dam.

Eventually, this will be a viable project. Decades at the very earliest, before the first shovel full is dug. And then decades later before the first mile mile is complete. Gotta let the enviroweenies have their say.
But one of these will be built. Eventually.
