Why not continue the push for less paper money. Paper is nice, but it is expensive due to the short length of usage. Usually, the coined money is easily worth its value so producing a fake penny/quarter is not very worth while.
Stop using money altogether. Credit cards!
What about privacy? Currency preserves it, using credit cards takes it away. Even if you ain't worried about Big Brother, what about big companies, or your wife reading your statement, etc, etc.
Seriously, how much time to these people usually get? 20 years is the maximum, but people rarely ge the maximum unless they piss the system off. Hmm, well counterfeiting definitely qualifies for that...
Your post is a secuirty threat, it provides information on how to commit a terrorist act. Using the Internet no less. Didn't they pass a law making that a federal felony? (or try to at least)
Yes, you'll lose a lot of money in bug fixing, exploit patching, etc.
But you'll gain a whole lot more in configuration support, since there are thousands of/etc and.rc files that need to be tweaked.
Linux isn't (yet) user friendly - take advantage of that.
Before modding this as flamebait, keep in mind, I am a Linux supporter and even contributed patches to the kernel. However, I admit there are areas where Linux needs to improve. That is not disloyalty.
Doesn't matter how technically weak the security is, when its very existance makes it ILLEGAL to do what it tries to prevent you from doing.
Microsoft's security may be weak, but the US gov't isn't. They have massive firepower and can put you in prison for a LONG time. After you get out, you'll find you are ineligible for many jobs, lost your civil rights, etc. And geeks don't last long in prison - chances are very high a geek will be victimized even before the trial.)
No, we will just throw our money around and corrupt their gov't into doing our bidding. The elites of each country are in bed with each other.
Notice how Mexico went from having liberal drug laws to the point where an American (Dawn Wilson: http://www.dawnwilson.com/ got 5 years for buying (non-narcotic) drugs without a Mexican prescription?
Don't think DEA money and US gov't influence (foreign aid, interdiction funds) had anything to do with that?
For your example with the screw driver, people might get confused over which is the good use and which is the bad use. Let me clarify (from an RIAA/MPAA perspective):
Turning screws is evil. It can be used to circumvent content protection measures and DRM.
Plunging it into someone's head is good. Such actions reduce piracy, since almost any victim would have illegally used or copied precious intellectual property. IP is more precious than life, just ask the pharmaceutical companies who use patents to make it illegal to provide reasonable cost AIDS treatments to poor countries.
God forbid that of all the ads you get, more and more of them would be for stuff you actually want.
Ads are a fact of life. If I could have the ads that reach me be more targeted and more related to what I am interested in, I consider that a good thing.
A bad thing would be if people who spent time in bars had the health insurance premiums go up. Insurance, overzealous law enforcement and employers are the one's that can hurt us.
Well, it is posted under "Your Rights Online" even though it has nothing to do with your rights or anything online.
Then again, that could be said about over 50% of stories posted in this section.
Anyway, forget about theme parks, come to Las Vegas, where it is all one big theme park. And it is family friendly so there is stuff for your kids to do.

Evenutally enough people get pissed off.
Isn't there a quote about people enduring as much oppression as they will tolerate? (i.e. no more, no less)

Counterfeit and get caught, and you will be screwed for life.

Okay, not for life, only for 20 years

Maybe we shouldn't use TCP/IP anymore, after all it was invented by the US, and the gov't no less (specifically the military).
If a good idea is born in the US, there is no reason for the world to ignore it because of that fact.
How are you going to handle payments and payment verification anonymously?
That is, without using some anonymous e-cash system that will help the terrorists.
Right, because as we all well know, no big companies care about linux.
And the 10 cents for each text message makes plenty of money for big corporations.

What about your grammar? Three dots is not a substitute for a comma.

Then don't try to educate them.
Put free software on CDs, sell them, and make money doing so.
With CD-Rs, you can make a nice profit with very low volume and very little investment.
Just make sure the particular free software license allows that.
What difference does the salaries make if you CAN'T EVEN GET A JOB?!?
Knowing you would've made more money if you could even get hired doesn't put food on the table.
And of course salaries can go up if there are less people to employ. A given amount of money divided less ways is more per person.
But it doesn't matter how big the pieces of the pie are if you aren't even allowed at the table.
The site runs Apache (version 2 in fact) on Linux, so how can it be evil?
Titanic: a poor hashing algorithm (can't avoid collisions...)
Cool, now we know what to rename MD5 to

Your post is a violation of USA law under the DMCA. It provides information on ("trafficking in") circumvention.
DMCA already requires that Macrovision be supported in all VCRs. They could easily add a similar provision for DRM being mandated in PCs.

Great untrackable way of paying for stuff:
CASH.
(well untrackable unless Homeland Security or the DEA wants to find you - in which case you are very likely in BIG trouble anyway)
A smarter one yet might use the RFID to find out the where the parents were in order to avoid them before discarding it.
I don't think there are very many child abductors who are geeks. Most of them are very stupid in general.

If you don't know how to hack RFID, then you don't deserve to be able to do that. :)

Later this month, you'll be able to carry on a telephone conversation with a flower with a planned speaker phone model.
You can do that now, if you take the right drugs.
