I hope you're being sarcastic about simplification. Obviously the IRS is too quick, responsive and slim for its own good or there wouldn't be this problem. Fighting identity theft, as we've learned from TFA, requires a bloated bureaucratic behemoth barely capable of sustaining its own weight, sort of the lovechild of an aging tug-of-warrior with a flaccid former sumo star. More weight to throw behind this fight against fraud wouldn't hurt.

Well, it's for a good cause... TFS did mention DDOS against the entertainment industry. Good news is news worth reading.

People aren't much concerned about the natural pesticides which we've evolved to tolerate/enjoy over millions of years - it's the ignorant approach of engineering food to produce glyphosate-dependent staple foods or force crops to produce toxins and then letting it loose on the world. You can't prevent cross-pollination with natural crops. 20-50 years later when we find out it's toxic after all, who pays that bill?

Ghostery is my new convenient friend. Blocks the adwhores & leaves js-heavy websites functional without the NoScript whitelisting nuisance. With AdBlock Plus it's nearly perfect.

As demonstrated here using a small dog?
Gary Larsen ahead of his time as usual.

Install apps from f-droid or via saved apk. I regularly backup all my Play apps on a sacrificial phone (no privacy, never gets used) for use on EDC devices that do not have Play installed. It's a win-win: privacy while having the ability to purchase apps as needed, like Swiftkey/Minuum/Fleksy (no dodgy warez thx) and Lucky Patcher takes care of the shitty "licensing" garbage. If/when you become ready to unplug from the matrix there are red pills everywhere.

Careful now, you'll confuse the 'Murricans with that Centigrade technology. And to answer your question, anybody who likes black & blue steak is liable to want a high temperature oven.

Let the Fed keep printing, the bankers keep on bailing out, the party will never end! Oh, and inflation is years away, IF EVER. No need to adjust prices or wages to account for millions of deficit dollars per American, soon to be billions. Thank the military contracts and foodstamps for preserving this country from the commies.

I'll donate an old bath tub for this mission. Keeping my towel tho.

Recommending Bitlocker is a blatant admission that the NSA has gotten its filthy mitts all over the project and instead of Lavabiting TC, forced TC to produce a compromised product. Good move on TC's part, as anybody with enough brain cells to read can grok whatever's between lines that big.

Give it to Africa. Huge desert land, they could use some fertile material.

The best thing AMD got right was the upgrade path, S939 kept my machine current for years before the glorious AM3 socket. Every Intel we've built OTOH only has one good CPU per socket and no upgrade path after that.

...but when they do, nothing of value is ever lost.

Seeing as the US govt has spent itself into an event horizon of the current magnitude while trying to prosecute 64 simultaneous, one-sided "wars" against brown folk the world over, all you Americans have just got to tighten your belts a little bit. Priorities like fattening the Republicrat fatcats and sponsoring automated killing machines to further the War on Drugs/Terror/Arabs/Commies/Mexicans are there for a reason. Of course the IRS needs your money more than you do! That's why they're above the law. If you don't like it file suit in a secret court.

So renters are breaking the contract and whinging when the eviction notice arrives? These twits ranting about it can sftu, gtfo and find another place to live. The issue isn't how much rent costs, it's basic contract/rent/lease law. And respect. And common sense. San Francisco isn't special and/or unique unless you're counting hipsters per square meter.
