Sure kids like riding bikes with training wheels at first, since they can not do it without the training wheels. After they can ride the bike without the training wheels, they have don't look back to the training wheels most likely because it is not nearly as fun as without them.

Actually it could also come down to who can program the best hacking software as well, possibly that may be the most important part. Regardless, hacking is so stupid, the only way it could be fun to use that I could see, is if you are the one making the hacking software to test your code to see how effective your coding skills are at dominating the game vs. other people's hacking software.

Just because you default on student loans really doesn't mean much towards falling into bribery... I see it as much more of a class based issue. Come from a rich family, small chance of defaulting, but come from a lower middle class or below family and your chances of that happening are much more common. The very rich are the ones who seem to care less for people in general and seem to care mostly about themselves and willing to do whatever it takes to one-up themselves over the next person.

It really is a bit sickening that the FBI could use just that as a deciding factor, there may be a very good reason why that had happened, just look at the current economy and the massively increasing amount of student loans. Throw in some unforeseeable expense that comes along and you have a default on their loan. A medical bill alone can cause financial ruin in this country for an entire family.

If the FBI won't hire you, probably could still make it for the CIA.

The FCC got three million responses, or almost one percent of the entire US population. And FCC staffers deride the public comment process as filled with 'hilarious hallucinations.' Because, according to this staffer, those comments submitted by 'legal and economic experts' prepared under the employ of institutions with a vested interest "collated information in a more systematic way" and "from a much broader population of consumers." Hilarious hallucinations... what they are thinking in their heads is how the public is so damn stupid to have any input because the FCC has complete control and they find it funny that the public is not able to see that! A major insult no doubt that they can say the comments were filled with comments like these, saying just how stupid they think the American public is. Now the American public knows exactly how they think and sadly are left defenseless like peasants under a whip.

"Changes require systematic, reliable evidence, not emotional expressions . . ." To bad that is not really true. There is plenty of reliable evidence from the massive amounts of what they are calling 'emotional expressions'. There are statistics showing how absolute crap the US ISP's are lacking in comparison to several other countries, rapidly and continually dropping in internet speeds, yet the FCC fails to recognize these very stats that is at the basis for all these 'emotional expressions'. The FCC being led by a former lobbyist is more than likely looking for any excuse that can sound valid so he can screw over the public while making the people who have lined his pockets with dollars happy. Sad and very pathetic that such a human can have so much greed to allow an entire nation to fall so far behind in a technology that is so important, poor families can not afford internet, families with multiple children fighting over bandwidth, setting up a system to increase costs on an already very cash-strapped society of what should be declared as a utility since the free-market has obviously been well corrupted thru segmentation or markets.

"imagine if he flips the switch *during* an update)" Actually windows updates you can easily shut off a computer during an update and it has built-in safeguards that are probably some of the best of all OS's... To the point that they probably go a bit too far and in turn end up causing your windows updates to take a much longer time when compared to other OS's updates. If you want to speed up your update process before you have a whole bunch of windows updates to be ran(for example on a new install), just simply disable the windows system restore feature, and that should really speed it up.

Regulations are a first step that paid lobbyists can work at ensuring a business has an advantage to lock-out the competition so enormous profits are easily possible. It is not real corruption, since the laws are made and followed, it is just very morally wrong and should be illegal and punishable as a form of corruption.
