Get your facts straight people. Silk Road did not sell guns.
Granted it was allowed at first, but SR distanced themselves from firearms and hadn't allowed their sale for some time at the time of the raid.
They'll never catch me then. I speak a secret language called "Syntactically Correct American English", an archaic language no one understands any more.
Instead of going the speed limit until the last second and braking at a red light, I take my foot off the gas and coast up to it. Frequently I never have to use the brake at all.
Unfortunately it drives the type-A drivers behind me crazy.:p
Libertarian? Maybe. But nonetheless there's nothing about education in the US Constitution
In fact:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
There is no justifiable federal role in education. Education has traditionally been and should be locally managed.
We don't need more regulation surrounding student loans, we need less. In fact there shouldn't be any federal student loans at all.
The 9/11 conspirators didn't bother with any dry runs and succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
Terrorists aren't a cautious or methodical bunch; they're audacious. Dry runs are not only for wimps but they also alert your adversary to your intentions.
I second this. I'm in a specialty like OP, embedded software in C/C++. Like OP I've been feeling the heat due to economic slowdown, defense cuts, sequestration, etc.
After looking into switching software fields to web/database I decided to stick with embedded. The fact is that there is still a demand for embedded software and I'd have to take a significant pay cut to switch out of it. I guess it boils down to if you want more *perceived* job security at lower pay or to take your chances at higher pay.
How about the federal government and higher education address the root causes that contributed to a 1000% increase in tuition and fees since 1980?
Low cost federally subsidized student loans are a major part of this problem. It's bad enough that this is a huge overstepping of federal authority. The availablility of billions of dollars of cheap money has fueled the fire of educational hyperinflation. Take away the cheap money - tuitions go down.
Maybe more people in Congress should go take EC101 again (for the first time).
Italy is notorious for its culture of tax evasion and insane driving.
In a country where almost no one pays their taxes (rendering it unenforceable) why pay fines too?

Someone made a gun and the rest is history.
When I read this I was shocked!

"We have backup, guns, radio, jackets — all that stuff civilians don't have." What? I have all that stuff.

dry run for a bigger attack

Here's my favorite: "If God didn't mean for us to kill animals for food, then why did He make them out of meat?"
MEAT IS MURDER
It's their network and they can do what they want with it. Don't want to use it? Tether a smartphone then.
Dude, you need to let people who are paid less than you to do menial tasks like this. Seriously.
Unless someone spelled "pew" differently.

From 1978-2012, "12 fold" i.e. 1200%:

This one only goes back to 1985 and shows "only" a 485% increase to 2011:

There's no tax dodger like an Italian tax dodger.

Things like this are opportunities, not burdens.

Maybe if you're old.
