Gross tonnage is ship volume and is THE measure of ship size.

The Titanic's GT was 46,000.

The top two Royal Caribbean ships are 225,000 and most of the rest of the pack weigh in at 140-150.

The're pretty much 4x or 3x the size (volume), and 20% longer.

Displacement is a different factor altogether, but even then...

Gross tonnage normally is a much higher value than displacement. This was not always the case; as the functions, engineering and architecture of ships have changed, the gross tonnage figures of the largest passenger ships have risen substantially, while the displacements of such ships have not. RMS Titanic, with a gross register tonnage of 46,329 GRT, but a displacement reported at over 52,000 tons, was heavier than contemporary 100,000 – 110,000 GT cruise ships which displace only around 50,000 tons.

Emphasis mine.

I'm guessing the correct thing to do is to subpena MS for the information because the client and business are both US based, but I'm not a lawyer.

False.

CALEA only requires the backdoor to exist if it's technically possible. TFA is pretty clear that other manufacturers and carriers have chosen to implement end-to-end encryption that doesn't have the ability to be backdoored, and as such, there's no need to provide the (non-existent) backdoor to the feds.

You probably couldn't, since their gross tonnage is only 3-4x larger.

Seems a fair distinction, and one worthy of a judge reviewing it, and something I can see going either way. ...which is why we have judges :)

Thanks.

At 882 feet, the modern 1100 foot super cruise ship doesn't kill it.

In gross tonnes, however, they're 3-4x larger.

Criminal law, I find, is pretty straightforward at the local and state level.

I'm amazed anyone can do their taxes, however.

The cameras may be next-to-free, but the cost to review their video and type up laborious transcripts isn't...yet.

You don't 24/7 videotape a petty drug dealer to catch a petty drug dealer.

You do it to catch a much bigger criminal.

Do the police need a warrant to set up shop in the building across the street? If my neighbor is already recording the street in front of his house with his home security system, and volunteers to turn over angles that cover my house, do they need special permission to look at that? If my house is next to a traffic camera, can they look at all the background photos captured when someone runs a red light without getting a warrant?

I'm asking.

Oh, but it's not really nuclear powered because uranium is made in suns, so it's a solar powered car (sarc).

I dunno, they need to up the lack of class if they ever hope to top drive through funerals

I have a condo downtown by the ballpark, and parking on the streets behind it all have "neighborhood parking, by permit only" on them.

The particular neighborhood I was referencing is at 7th avenue and McDowell. On the corner there they built a plaza with 5 trendy "fast casual" restaurants in it. Jersey Mike's, Five Guys, How Do You Roll, Chipolte, and a ZOYO. Directly across the street they built out the plaza to include a NYPD Pizza and a PotBelly in the old "My Florist" building.

There's 65 parking spots for the small plaza. It's not enough.

The residents on Lynwood St petitioned to get "no parking 11am-2pm" signs posted as soon as lunch visitors spilled over into their neighborhood. I understand WHY they did this (NIMBY, MOTHERFUCKERS), but I assume they'd just prefer that corner go back to check cashing.

Interesting. I've been driving in Phoenix for 30 years now and never realized the 7th street/ave lanes were there "forever." In my head, I imagined they got changed when the Deck Park Tunnel opened in 1990, which, since I'm getting old only imaged was "a decade or so ago."

When the DPT opened, 3rd street/avenue got their increased traffic and then neighbors did everything they could to push the traffic back to 7th/Central/7th.

And be there to do it, while it's happening, which means you and your zombie Waze army need to either all spoof GPS or be there at 3pm when evening traffic begins it's 5 hours of sucking.
