"you can't have companies starting a war. That's an inherently governmental responsibility" I would argue that it's the government's responsibility to prevent war when possible and never to start one!

Even strong passwords have a problem when you re-use them. If you get Phished you've just comprimised all your sites not just one. Where as a with a password manager you don't enter your strong password into a web page (at least not the PM I use) so you won't loose everything with one mistake. I also use my PM enough to remember the strong password.

Except for me that would definitely increase my distraction on a long trip. Having nine children I count on their phones to distract them so they don't distract me, the driver.

Remember not everyone is alone in the car, there are passengers that using a phone would be fine for.

I'd love the unintended consequences of this. We'd reign in foreign meddling pretty quickly.

I guess Mexico will be paying for the wall after all.

I'm guessing that his 3 months of work would have been 3 days of work for an average programmer. On the bright side he's learned a lesson that he won't soon forget. And now he has that opportunity to refactor his code he's secretly been wanting to do anyway.

I agree this is excuse-hunting. I mean the guy made a life sized paper mache doll to put in his bed. Do they have craft time in prison? And wouldn't that be kind of a suspicious art project? Or did they think he wanted to cuddle with it? How in the world could he hide that without lax security or inside help.

a land war in Asia in the winter.

Exactly, especially if it were all dumped at once in one glorious flaming ball.

Well if they are independent then they CAN make their own value judgements, but until they are the head of their own household, paying their own bills, and feeding their own mouths, guess who get's to call the shots? That's right the provider -- the head of the house hold. Instead of whining and throwing a fit about not getting what you want go out and *earn* freedom; move out of mommy and daddy's basement.

This is part of the problem. The government prevents the building hospitals, and closely watches how many hospital beds are located in an area. Without the ability to build there isn't any choice thus no market pressure. This is one regulation that needs to go out the window. Let entrepreneurs build.

"Who would like to hang around in a place where everyone seems to be negative, mean, and disapproving?" This seems to be the epitome of Facebook.

The DNC knows there was hacking because they've done it before and did it this election too. What a surprise.

And in a 120 years even if there was technology to revive the person why would they? What makes anyone that special? Especially after everyone who knew you was dead? There's very few people as a society that we'd even consider reviving anyway. Just get over it, we all die, and always will.

The world is about to discover that man made laws cannot override nature.
