...and many more corporate personhood rulings before it.

Corporations are people, thanks to Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.

You have a blank slate. Do it right with fibre optics everywhere. Set these people right from the start. Don't cripple them by putting in tech from the 1950s or 1980s.

Welp, good thing I own my own router. Oh wait, there's probably Counsel here that could explain that even that device can be 'compelled' to provide the WiFi service too >.>

Mercedes Benz is on the cusp of (if not already) selling their BlueTEC diesels in California. They are sold elsewhere in the US, however. R350 BlueTEC, GL350 BlueTEC and ML350 BlueTEC, all available in the US.

I wish them luck in this venture... they're going to need it with a market that already has widely accepted semi-user-friendly devices (Amazon Kindle, Sony eReader, etc).

Also, haven't they learned their lesson already in other markets? Publisher (content-owner) friendly rarely ever is accepted by the marketplace as it wasn't designed with the end user (the people PAYING for this "service").

Nah, TJ is just South Chula Vista. :P

Shotguns don't use bullets. They use shells. Rifles and pistols use bullets.

100 meters if you are doing Ethernet, that is.

...works great for me. I have my EV-DO Kyocera KPC680 (Verizon) card with me everywhere and a Kyocera KR2 camps out in the car with its requisite DC-DC power adapter. Install a nice high-gain antenna (Wilson [eBay] has some decent +9/+13dB gain antennas for EV-DO/1xRTT and GSM/W-CDMA/UMTS bands) on the roof of the RV and make sure you have a decent groundplane if your roof is fiberglass (no worries if it is aluminum) and you should be fine for something like 95% of US roads traveled (you will drop to 1xRTT/EDGE in some areas, but 3G (EV-DO/W-CDMA/UMTS) is pretty well covered on most interstate routes, based on Verizon and at&t's service maps).

For Canada... I'm not too sure there as I'm a Yank and have not had a need to visit our friends to the north yet. You might be able to get a roaming data plan that includes Canada from your US cellular provider though.

FWIW, I work for Kyocera International, parent company of Kyocera Wireless.

Actually, it's Dell as a whole. I recently put in a call to Dell for support on a Latitude D820 that now fails to boot. It's covered under warranty for another year but Dell refuses to work on it because I'm not listed as the purchaser or authorized agent for the system. My business bought this system through an employee (via a reimbursement) who no longer works with the organization. I don't have any reasonable way to have this ex-employee 'vouch' that I own the system.

Whatever happened to the days where I could just give them my Express Service Code and actually get help instead of getting accusations of theft?
