If you want something router-like, PC Engines apu1d and apu1d4 at $124 and $145 USD are good options, as is the older (but slower, i386-only) alix2d3 at $103.

There are also plenty of micro ATX or all-in-one fanless PCs with dual-NICs in a similar price range. Or dual-NIC Intel NUCs, as well (not fanless).

they got bitten by a mistake of not doing enough market research

Alternatively, they don't see it as a mistake at all (as you pointed out, a whopping 68 subscribers) and did the math and decided to go with it.

I'm old enough to remember the cold war. One of the big criticisms of Eastern block countries was that the courts were subservient to the government, that the government was not constrained by the law and that trials were secret.

Have we forgotten this already?

Given that our current President wasn't alive for half of it (exclusive of petering out, 1947-1961), that seems pretty likely.

Could you expand on #60? I find that meetups are a great way to meet enthusiasts in a particular area/field/technology. This is especially the case if you're one of the many people running a successful/growing business that is unlikely to ever make a "tech news" article or be a household (tech) name.

I'm not sure why you feel my post was disingenuous. There are many forms of self-protection that we need to ask our government permissions to obtain.

When I see stories like this, I'm always impressed at the wide availability of gas masks. Are we even allowed to own those in the States?*

*Yes, I know how sad of a question that is.
