   The real target for all these "non-lethal" solutions are the average citizens

   Given that NATO and the U.S. DoD define "temporary blindness" as "temporary or permanent" has a frightening implication: value your eyesight? Don't protest or stand up for your rights.

   Police officers have already shown citizens that pepper spray and tazers aren't exactly "friendly" weapons for crowd control....
   
   Hopefully, demonstrators won't create an "arms race" of non-lethal weaponry.

   Fun Fact

   Tasers and stun guns are illegal in the state of Wisconsin. Air-compression powered projectiles, however, are not.

   Smart mine that knows not to blow up it's own troops? good.
   Smart mine that decides to blow up it's own troops anyways? bad.

   Hopefully ... the human race will wake the hell up and realize much of their activities are counter productive.
   
   Yeah I know - dream on.

   It's actually questionable IF tazers are non-lethal. At least one Canadian police agency has been instructed by the courts and a coroner to treat them as such after a nasty death at Vancouver International Airport some years back.
   
   (The RCMP, by the way, and, in the way of the RCMP there's no knowing if they've actually complied.)

   Most law enforcement types consider the tazer to be a means of administering encouragement (aka torture).

    someday

    Someday, maybe 3 years from now, it will all be a domino effect. Some huge company will take all there domains when they expire, and others will follow suit. That is what I expect. These things are all rather slow but I expect to see a new dominate player hoster in 3 years.
