What we need is expedited recovery from a bank blunder.
Put the federal reserve back in its place and let the banks get desperate enough to borrow from the fed. That's what they are there for, lender of last resort.
Bailouts are a load of bullshit. Here's why:
If a bank is in trouble due to a liquidity problem, they should go to the fed and take out a loan to cover their tills until the depositors calm down. If the crisis really is temporary, carrying a few points of interest on a fed loan for a month shouldn't hurt them too badly anyway.
If something is wrong with the balance sheet, and not just with cash flows, then the bank is a zombie that needs to fail anyway.
And raise the cap on FDIC insurance to a million, and cover a hefty portion of the rest. People need to have one last refuge against disaster, and keeping money under the mattress while it rots instead of in the banking system where it's being invested does nothing for the economy. That's what primes the credit pump.
That's only an incentive for examiners to drag their heels to rake in more in fees.
It would also ensure yet another gateway open only to the rich.
I'd prefer a merit system, where both companies and examiners who are involved in either requesting or granting a patent that is later invalidated lose brownie points.
And I think that companies submitting frivolous patent applications should get spanked.
I have managed with great efforts to be seizing the funds of your CEO and sold off his IP, resulting in $40,000,000 of recovered funds. Per Australian Tax code 419, unpaid employees may receive such funds.
Please do forward $100 processing fee to file a claim for your back wages.
If simple common sense coding techniques can plug most of the avenues of attack, then any developer worth his salt SHOULD be responsible for plugging them...especially in this day and age where security holes are making headlines.
For the bridge analogy, I'd consider a buffer overflow equivalent to missing a rivet. If you know what you're doing it shouldn't be possible. Trusting user-generated input is one of the first taboos you learn about in computer science.

fnord!
Stick'em up!
That's a civil matter.
I'm glad though to see a federal judge smacking the district down.
Strictly speaking, it is indeed fallacious.
In a world ruled by uncertainty and intuition, however, it does make for a good heuristic.

Libel, most likely.
They're not retarded most of the time.
When the folks in power make them it's often to make sure they stay in charge.
Example: white folks getting life and blacks getting the needle in murder trials during the days of racism.
I think that's true of any hierarchy, really.
Fiefdoms are fine IF they remember that education is their liege.

1 + 2 = 4?
Math anxiety also inhibits the training one must secure to improve and thus conquer their anxiety.
Classical conditioning means numbers equal something to be scared of.
Operant conditioning means that avoidance of numbers rewards by removing fear.
So not only is he ripping off the taxman but he's stealing the employee's personal property.
Absconding with seizable property is definitely a dick move.
To all employees of that company:

Seriously, those guys should have known better.
If the powers that be are morons, then your ship is about to sink.
Where I come from, deliberately bypassing network security is a one-strike-and-you're-out termination offense.

You mean like octarine?
They already ARE worthless.
Survival of the fittest based on raw strength instead of on raw weath might not be an improvement but it would be a change.
Damnit...I not only got rickrolled but I Lost The Game too.
Make the sentence proportional to the difference in age and you've got something.

I'd rather convince a politician than a skeptic.
You know, seeing as those morons are the ones WRITING THE FRACKING LAW.
