You're not going to just put a 777 down on some rural 2 lane road. You need a clear 1 mile (or more) straight reinforced runway. Not only is a 777's wheel track too wide for an average road the gross weight of the plane would crush the asphalt (or dirt or gravel) under the wheels. Bare minimum you'd need a fairly modern multi-lane highway. Something like that would be traveled enough that someone would notice a large commercial airliner attempting to land on it.
Sheesh, Google Voice isn't going anywhere.
And by the way, those of us with jobs will always have more than one number

I'm just tired of hearing people rant against what they voted for.
I've been saying all along that the schools should get the geeks laid instead of the jocks. Even with this study they still won't listen.
I don't know. There is something romantic about choosing to be a geek, against the grain, up the hill, against all odds and disincentives, doing it because you really want to and not because you were bribed into it. It shows great courage and spirit, which I believe is closer to what life is all about. The ones who "go with the flow" and do whatever is the path of least resistance are cowardly and hedonistic by comparison.
True.
But it's still kind of nice to get laid.
They're programmers. They'll get fired anyway. This is America.

See the semi-obligatory XKCD here.
Of course correlation implies causation - or at least suggests it - it just doesn't prove causation.
As the obligatory XKCD points out (I think).
Hah. The elite get in trouble for doing something illegal? Was that a joke?
However, since you pointed out their wrong-doing, you have a chance of being locked up. There is no greater law in these lands than embarrassing or exposing those in power.
The person who has been in charge of the NSA for over five years is one Barack H Obama.
Is he the elite you had in mind?
