Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick one when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
Feel free to suggest laws if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past laws first.
This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, lobbyists, corruption. If you're using these votes to do anything important, you're insane.
People will not give up their cash without a fight,
Oh I don't know. I think it's pretty much down to culture that one. I see people putting their credit cards behind the bar and drinking to the limit. Seems especially common for young professional women.
Japan on the other hand, is all cash only. And else where in Asia, it's cool that you can order computer hardware, plane tickets etc, and it turns up at your door, THEN you hand over the cash.
Cash on delivery seems quite alien to me now, having grown up in the UK with credit cards for everything. Yet what can be a more secure way of paying online, than not paying online at all.
Controlled fusion is the next step for our species. We won't know how hard it is except for retrospectively, but we haven't got much time left.
Nobody wants to save energy. There are billions of people on this planet that would like to use half as much energy as an average American, and no amount of wind or solar is going to deliver that.

Bad economic models lead to even worse politics. Sakdoctor's Leave it the fuck alone school of economics.
Oh, and I talked to many economic students at university. They progressively developed this ability, to bury common sense under layers of bullshit, until they even convinced themselves. See also: Securitization
Who the hell are we (US/UK/wherever) to say that we are "losing" tax revenue because of tax havens? That's more stupid than when the RIAA calculate their "losses" from piracy.
Sometimes people need an opt-out from the retardation and danger of run-away collectivism.
Thanks. You just gave me the idea for thesneakernetbay.org
It's a tracker service like bittorrent, but people walk around instead. You add your coordinates, and it searches for the nearest peer, then a load of people turn up on your lawn holding USB sticks.

And in fact there is a cloned super-sanitized version of every web service that exists, so the majority of people just don't notice or even care.
That would require a ridiculously complex system of checks and balances.
Totalitarianism is better because it's easy. You just slide down the hill.
I think the main, insurmountable issue, is that you look like a cock riding one.
Now hoefully there won't be too many segway owners on /. modding me down.

Is there a torrent of that?
Google should take SOME blame.
I held a robots.txt poster up at my window and google streetmap still photographed it.

I didn't know that. And it sucks.

Agreed. Stupid sumary.
I had this image of shimmering heat, rising steam, and burning barrels inside a post apocalyptic data center.
It wasn't until line 2 that my image was ruined.

Yeah, I better clarify.
I didn't for one moment want to downplay the threat of mass surveillance and totalitarianism in the UK right now.
BUT, it's facebook. My expectation of privacy on the medium would be lower than unencrypted email.
Which is already very low.
It's social networking. The information is already public.
It's like snooping data on the way to being published anyway.
Which arm of government?

So what would happen id it hit a blink or marquee tag?

You're talking crap.
Whilst IR photons have a higher energy than microwaves, so do visible light photons.
On the other hand, opacity and absorbtion of various human tissues, is a complex relationship with wavelength.
I made millions selling karma futures, back before the economy turned bad.
