90's? Nope. Their software has always been utter crap.

They promised.

You might as well call DNS itself shady. 98% of malware networks use it to hide their tracks an keep their networks up.

They are always attacking the problem from the wrong end. They must. Once upon a time they did the right thing and tried to migrate to trusted repositories, but then they lost their nerve at the last moment and saved legacy app compatibility. Not that we trust them to fairly run the trusted repository either. They have not solved the problem because to them it is an intractable problem. The only effective solutions lead to Microsoft's demise.

Listen to the words of the serpent I shall not!

For in my visions I have seen The Answer... and it is spelt thus:

You must be new here.

I take it you have never been audited by the IRS. Worst thing I have ever had to endure, and that was as a college student filing a 1040 EZ and only having one job and a checking account. It was similar to one of those somewhat creepy police interrogation scenes in movies meets the stereotypical DMV waiting room.

No, they were a loon, but apparently TV makers listen to loons.

When I got my project car insured a couple of months ago they asked if I wanted to do this even though I am getting limited use collector insurance on it. I wanted to see how far along I could go before they figured out that such a device won't work on a 68 MG Midget. Sadly the agent didn't catch on and at the very end I told her that it wouldn't work because the only electronics in the car are the lights and wipers and it doesn't have a computer let alone a diagnostic port.

The most recently replaced ones are the ones that the kids can reach and like to turn off and on a bunch (kitchen, dining room, and bathroom) so they only last a little more than 2 years but others in the house are getting close to 7 years old.

Gravity bends space, although always in the same basic way. (I think)

So lets imagine there may be some other way of bending space...

Realistically you are already subject to an endless litany of laws as a citizen of the United States circa 2014. So many rules, in fact, that you don't even know what most of them are. Society is necessarily built on "re-education" from our theoretical natural state, because these rules are not all inherent to our behavior.

The idea in the story was that an efficient enforcement mechanism can minimize the number of necessary rules and maximize their fairness. While you may prefer our current system to the one in the story, it's not hard to imagine that the current system of rules is non-optimal.

The inability to act out many "bad" behavior in the Australia Project was negated by the disconnect between brain and body in the plugged-in citizens. You were free to do what you wanted in your own personal Matrix where there were no ill effects to either you or others.

Americans are individuality obsessed, perhaps moreso than any other human culture throughout history. The story is written specifically to force us to think about this subject.

"It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is. If the—if he—if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement"
Do you really want to trust politicians?

You're not thinking big enough, why pull out a bomb when the whole over-sized fucking carry on bag is a bomb filled with explosives and nails, its not like your final destination requires a clean set of cloths. Also this would work best when done in the middle of a security line, on the busiest travel day which would also be a good time to have a "winter" coat on for some extra punch.
