That's different then, OP seems determined to find reasons not to buy anything new despite his clear desire to. Not everybody can use the same advice.

Seriously, ask your kids. You seem to have plenty of negatives in the direction of both consoles, but you should ask your kids so that they can be able to use the device which better matches with their own social circles, since that doesn't seem to be a factor on your part of your decision.

This is what Virginia does for Uber and Lyft, at the very least for picking up and dropping off at the airports (DCA and IAD)

I'm sorry, you seem to be forgetting why the guy in Florida was fined. It wasn't solely the cell phone communications, it was more because he was jamming the 800MHz Public Safety band on either side of the 850MHz GSM allocations, because it's not really possible to make a "neat magical jammer" that only gets the cell bands. it's going to spill onto adjacent public safety and land mobile allocations.

Chip & sig is being rolled out by some national banks right now. Expect Target to start taking chips soon, and Wal-Mart already does.

i don't know, I'm pretty sure that jamming Sheriff's communications (read in TFA) is pretty likely to result in a lot of deaths :)

Clearly you haven't seen some of the fines handed out to holders of GMRS and Ham licenses who have interfered with Public Safety bands intentionally...

He fucking resigned.

don't forget make a disc image if you ever need to restore that machine

That said this is 100% the case the Library of Congress said was okay to do as fair use last time they did a DMCA review.
