Why couldn't they just have tried this out in a few locations to test it out before jumping head first into the whole thing?

Seems like a huge investment into untested technology.

So, to stop a guy on an E-Bike, they're gonna fire an EMP in the general direction of the guy, frying every electronic device in the area? Computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc, etc, all destroyed.

What could POSSIBLY go wrong with this idea???

Why do people think that Tim Cook, a gay man, speaking towards gay rights in his own country where he has some influence, is a hypocrite for doing business in countries where he has absolutely zero influence whatsoever and yet has a legally binding fiduciary responsibility to make money for his shareholders nonetheless. This speaks more towards conservatives desire to paint everything in culture war terms than anything else.

We have a Qwest network juncture in our back yard. When it was originally installed, there were phone cables laying on the ground for much of the neighborhood. Worked pretty good, so long as people had no plans to mow their yards.

I live in Santa Fe, unfortunately people around here give these cranks far to much leeway. Case in point, ATT Wireless wanted to put a cell tower on top of a building at Santa Fe High School which sits on top of a hill. They'd pay the school district thousands of dollars a month to allow them to do this. So, although the school district is in a budget crisis the School Board decided against it because they were concerned about the backlash from the public for inflicting electromagnetic energies on the students. The City wanted to set up a city wide public WiFi network, but while admitting that there was no proven correlation between EMF and health problems the City decided to let these wingnuts get their way and they stopped it because of the 'health effects'.

I thought it was 'ok', but redundant level design made me think I was playing the same level over and over again. They could have improved the driving capabilities, I felt like I was driving a golf cart rather than an SUV. Also, they could have done something about the damn camera, especially when your fighting the agent on the plane and you've got to do a flying kick to knock him out of the plane and while doing that the camera pans to the side (nice cinematic effect, but bad for gameplay) but it doesn't adjust the controls accordingly so you do a flying kick flying past the agent and almost falling out the back of the plane yourself. It's clear that the Wachowski brothers should stick with movies and avoid games.

Bullshit, I grew up in SE Kansas about 10 miles from Treece. My school bus picked up kids in Treece. If anything the article is extremely conservative about how bad the lead poisoning is there. The entire region is an environmental disaster.
