Why not keep your own life and just leave an explosive piece of luggage in the airport, beside 4-5 families to foil their feeble "remove all unattended stuff" policy? You could even put 2-4 machine guns in it instead of a bomb and have them fire randomly everywhere.
Unfortunately, society can never be mature. Change will continue to occur and will not stop. Technology will solve all of the world's problems and create new ones in their place. We're stuck in a constant loop of adapting forever.
It's not as simple as that. People have a fixed amount of money to spend, and if they're suddenly spending an extra $1000/year on cheap consumer goods then that's $1000/year that they're not spending on, say, movie theaters, and those workers suffer.
Unless American workers can do the same work as Chinese workers for the same or lower wages, that means that Americans are not as efficient in that sector and should redirect their efforts to what they're good at. This is called free trade, and is an essential part of an efficient global economy.
There was no Year 0 so the indices start from 1 in this case. The second millennium ended at the end of 2000 and this decade will end at the end of 2010.
You do realize that your 200 dollar computers will start costing $800 if you ban outsourcing to China, right? And US exports will fall by about 90% because Canada and Europe will start making their own stuff with Chinese labor? And some of the Chinese workers, no longer "exploited" by multinationals, will go back to 15 hours a day subsistence farming in the hot sun?
There are tons of different ways to have fun playing in reality
I'm sure there are, but a lot of them do involve immersing yourself in some kind of virtual world. That includes movies, paintball, some board games, and a lot of other things.
A false sense of security is worse than no security at all. So yes, it is insecurity and it is stupid.
This is the epitome of security through obscurity

worked independently to generate the necessary volume of random combinations until they reproduced the G.S.M. algorithm’s code book — a vast log of binary codes that could theoretically be used to decipher G.S.M. phone calls.
Wait, so just having the encoding algorithm is enough to decipher a message? That's kindergarten cryptography, not something designed for the real world.
The group said that hackers intent on illegal eavesdropping would need a radio receiver system and signal processing software to process raw radio data, much of which is copyrighted.
Yes, that's right. Their main weapon in defending your privacy against crackers who don't care about the law at all is copyright.
operators, by simply modifying the existing algorithm, could thwart any unintended surveillance.
If that's not security through obscurity, I don't know what is.

Really? I always thought that a false sense of security is worse than no security at all.
You fail to fully appreciate the lack of buying power that is the American consumer when everything is suddenly 3 times more expensive.

And there are very few of us who wouldn't want to take a time machine back to 2003 and buy a few thousand shares of GOOG.
The field of good software engineers is alive and well, with a high barrier to entry and people making over $100,000 a year.

No, in an unregulated system no one can buy justice. When the rich can do it they're buying regulations.
It's a lot more viable than you think. We already have these, and these networks are a major field in artificial intelligence.
I'm pretty sure simultaneously hitting every point on the country with nuclear weapons annihilates a guerrilla army just fine.
Neutrality neutrality. Government cannot pass a law mandating neutrality.

Call the RIAA! Finally, an internet application that can't be used for piracy!
4. The algorithm had a bug which multiplied a few scores too high and it got fixed.
do not have sufficient command of Latin
on -> a plurals are from Greek, not Latin. Latin is um -> a.

Yeah, I think summer falls on a Thursday this year.
I knew it! The koala killed her! Now that poor beast only has 5 months to live before the lynx comes along...
GNU/porn?
You just have to separate out the GPL bits from the other bits. Mac OSX includes quite a lot of GPL software out of the box.
Because discussions are interesting in themselves. What other justification do you need?
