It would cut defense waste (our military is good, but wasteful) and improve education. Just hire more teachers with the money, not more administrators.
In China and North Korea, don't you get sent to prison or a labor camp for a multi-year sentence if you get caught even attempting to bypass the filters?
Reminds me of the ad for a cell phone company (T-mobile I think) that showed people going into prison cells for a 2 year bid and saying they don't do that/don't have contracts.
Should they be underfed? Raped? (like the US prison system ENCOURAGES - guards give "rape" privs to certain convicts to maintain control). Medical Experiments? Killed and their organs harvested?
Just the power supply fan. My linux machine's CPU fan runs less than 50% of the time it is on. I have it set to automatically come on at an appropriate temperature. No need to run the CPU fan when the CPU isn't even at 85F.
And the government in most cases will poison, electrocute, hang or shoot you then. Or, if you are "lucky", imprison you for life without the possibility of parole.
You can run your own company on whatever principles you like.
No, if you run it on wrong enough (according to the government) principles, the gov't will take your money and give it to someone else (civil lawsuits) or take your money for itself, lock you in a prison with people who will try to do you grievous harm, give you a criminal record which will cause people to hate or not trust you, and take some of your rights away, often for life.
Sometimes that is appropriate, but often it is NOT.
He inherited this mess and is doing the best he can, with Congress tying his hands.
Obama doesn't personally OK everything the Department of Justice does, he doesn't have the time to do that!
His time is spend trying to fix this country despite a Congress which is trying to block him for almost everything he is trying to accomplish, often due to hateful reasons that have no place in civilized society.
Obama has done a LOT to make gov't more accessible (White House Android app, We The People petitions, etc). Stop bashing Obama, remember Clinton signed the DMCA and Bush the 2nd signed the Patriot Act, etc, etc.
The President is a great leader, most of the Senate is passably OK, the Supreme Court is messed up in some ways but sometimes does right (in both cases usually 5-4 decisions) and the House of Representatives is basically filled with jackasses, racists and thieves.
So a blanket kick them all out isn't what we need.
We need to intelligently VOTE. We did a great job picking Obama in 2008 and 2012 (although the fact that nearly half the country voted for that sociopath who ran against him in 2012 is disheartening), but why did we screw up the House so bad in 2010? What were we thinking? Were we thinking, or just watching Fox News?
We need a good Congress to fix the laws, since Supreme Court members hold their positions for life or close to it.
Unfortunately, the President can't do much without Congress...

Then why is our military so good and our schools so bad?
You can use a credit union as long as there is one your are eligible for (likely most people are for at least one).

Send him your credit card, routing and bank account numbers.
So he can do to you what he did to others.

And most importantly they don't have rampant rape which is tolerated, encouraged and sometimes even perpetrated by the guards!

Then you use more power to run the USB all the time.

Then you might get to spend eternity in Hell.
Criminals trespassing on private property have sued and WON DAMAGES due to injuries obtained on the property.
I think even a thief was awarded damages in such a case, not just a simple trespasser!
Having certain bugs in common can be highly suggestive. Look at the maps with fake towns, etc to catch copiers.
More racism from the right. Not a surprise. Never hear someone making racist comments while bashing conservatives. Telling, ain't it.
In 20 years they'll be where UNIX was 20 years ago.
GIMP is a pretty bad image editor.
With an offensive name.
Perhaps they had intelligence on a threat to an American Airlines flight and didn't want to alarm people...
al Qaeda usually does more than one attack at a time we've seen.
A lot cheaper?
$82 on Amtrak last time a looked. No flight will be a lot cheaper than that! And 3 hours travel time is fast.
Just store your data using ReiserFS, kill the power and your data's dead too.
One company fired Obama supporters.

Never say anything again?
(Half joking)
Also, the average computer hacker is likely to get raped within 41 hours, never mind 41 MONTHS! (3 YEARS, 5 months)
He's gonna get it on the inside. He'll be better off than the child molesters, but that's about it. Hacker = easy prey.
Hans Reiser was a hacker and also a killer, and he even got beat up in prison. This guy is just a hacker.
Stop blaming Obama for everything.
