How is an IUD after the fact?

I suspect that if Congress didn't provide tax breaks to companies who did employer based health care that the 'firmly established system' would have dried up quite quickly. In fact, I bet if Congress removed the tax break, and instead issued a 1% tax on employer based health insurance, the 'firmly established system' would vanish from everyone's existence in less than one pay cycle.

Until the 'problem' is correct that's exactly what you do; unless hiring assassins to thin out the existing 'problem' is an option.

This right here is why we should be teaching basic programming or scripting in middle school. Show young students how to automate simple tasks and they'll apply it to nearly every field that exists. I remember talking to an IT consultant about the recently released Exchange 2007 (when Exchange went all gung-ho about PowerShell) and he said how he hated the de-emphasis on the GUI and the huge emphasis on PowerShell. "On my first deployment I didn't use PowerShell at all. But by my third one, it was all done by PowerShell scripts."

That's the reason I went with flickr. OneDrive will talk about the photo sharing experience, but it kind of sucks. It's great for the scenario of creating a folder of pictures to be shared with one person one time, but on a continuous basis of posting photos for people to see, it sucks. Flickr on the other hand is designed just for photo sharing, and it does it fabulously.

I suspect that should this actually happen the NSA will just pull money from something else to fund their protection of honest, hard working Americans. Money is fungible, it moves easily.

But what if habits change due to the cost increase? The volume of gas consumed is not an unchangeable constant.

Yes there is. When the government takes out loans to reduce the price of an item, that item is too cheap. Or if the price of the item doesn't cover negative externalities of creating that item, the price is too cheap. In Pre Arab Spring Egypt the price of bread was too cheap. The government was getting into debt subsidizing the price of wheat to keep the masses happy. Once the government was overthrown and the price of bread made it to market values, a lot of Egyptians realized that they now had a bunch of debt on their hands and more expensive food. They look back at that time and say that the price of bread was "too cheap".

But what if the attacker is the one contacting Amazon to shutdown everything? Do you want your business shut down by random teenagers calling Amazon, telling them to shut everything down?

Wasn't that always the motivation behind YouTube? Why else would somebody start a company that allows users to upload their own content, than for the purpose of using that content for your own profit?

In the Bush email case wasn't the excuse that the mail server had crashed, and after it crashed they found out that the tape backups hadn't been writing, and they never found out until they tried to do a restore? That at least was saying that the emails were on a server, which is where we all know they live. This is saying that the only copies of the emails was on one workstation, which is really hard to believe.

Given that's how Android is profitable for Google why shouldn't they be doing this?

The author gives the problem that to access data the computer goes to the slow disk, and pulls the data in the fast memory so it can be operated against. Then the article goes on to say that memory can't keep up with the demand. That seems backwards to me. Isn't the problem they're trying to solve deals with how spinning disks have not had their data access speed increase at the pace of the rest of computer components, not memory?

I think it's more that we accepted that the motion control gimmick was first Gen, and expected the Wii 2, to have better motion control support. When it didn't, that blew away any reason to get a more expensive Wii.

Shouldn't the goal be a world with no tenure?
