Many of the internal systems was hacked, including the system for breaking.
From ted.com: "Could someone hack your pacemaker? At TEDxMidAtlantic, Avi Rubin explains how hackers are compromising cars, smartphones and medical devices, and warns us about the dangers of an increasingly hack-able world.
Avi Rubin is a professor of computer science and director of Health and Medical Security Lab at Johns Hopkins University. His current research is focused on the security of electronic medical records"
It is also the failure of the government not to hold the corporations responsible for their actions. The government has been corrupted by the lobbyists.
All of the regulation the government , are making it harder for the small businesses to make business.
In stead of having more government, which can be corrupted. Lets have less of it.
You have more a voice against the private interest. You can choose them away. If you don't like what they serve you can go to their competitor. A private company can not take your life away, a private company can not take your money away.
With the state you have no options. Except move. To another state, which might not give you permission to stay.
A state take your money away. And you have no choice in the matter. You are ruled by the majority. Your money goes to make wars, found a welfare system which make people dependent. And will in the end, most likely bankrupt a country.
What do you do when the people running the state is doing the wrong decisions?
When they think it is a good thing to create money out of thin air, to stimulate the economy? When they do the same thing over and over again, and it does not work? Einstein said it was madness to do the same thing over and over again, and expect different results. Only many of the states around the world are doing the same thing, over and over again. And the whole system is going to collapse due to it.
What do you do then? When the people running the state, does not do as they promise, and we all suffer from it? Cast a vote?
With a private company , you can simply ignore them. Choose someone else. That same day. A private company can not force things of you. A state can. And to make changes to a state, you have to fight for years and years to even make a dent in the way it operates. A state can simply imprison you, if they feel like it. Just as they did with Bernard von NotHaus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lURhIy7hxBo
What ever you think, you don't have the right to make demands of me. Or ask someone else to do so. If I am peaceful, I should have the right to be able to be left alone. But you don't thinks so. You think you can make demands of me. In order to pay for your wars, or your welfare system, or your roads. Or your Keynesian way of thinking. I say, pay for your own wars, pay for your own welfare system, pay for your own roads. Do your own Keynesian experiment without my resources. Don't force me to pay for all of your ideas , through cohesion, and force.
But you will do it. You will force other people to pay for your stuff. Because you and your majority will think your solution is the best. And you will force the minority to also pay for it. What happens when they don't want to pay for your solutions? When they say NO! That they do not want to pay more taxes! Or use your phoney paper money. In order to pay for your crappy government solutions.
What happens when the minority say no? Will you and your government people just leave the people that say no, be? Or will you and your government people start to imprison them? What happens when they start to fight back?
In economy there are two main philosophies. The Austrian , and the Keynesian economic way. The Keynesian says that you need to create a demand, and the other says that demand is infinite.
Creating a demand is something government is supposed to do, or to stimulate. They take money from some(through taxes) , and spend it on others. Thus creating a demand for something. But often this demand is not what people need, so when the government money runs dry. So does the demand, and people which had jobs supplying that demand loose out.
If you say that demand is infinite you must also see that this does not apply to every thing. There are only x amount of stuff y people want, and can buy. But people always want stuff z. So the trick is to go and do research for what stuff z is. Stuff z always something that bring true value to the table. Like the iPad. Its like this picture frame with eternal content, delivered in a butter smooth interface. And people, I think, has longed for technology that just works, and is butter smooth.
Okay..
As SmallFurryCreature (593017) said in the Indeed (Score:5, Interesting) post , there are only so many types of work to be done.
Since the USA has a private bank that can create new notes, which people accept as money. Something which is used to store , and move value about with. People of the USA has not needed to work. Or they could work in the businesses , which did not make stuff. Since other people in the world where willing to accept the notes created by the private bank of USA.
The private bank of the USA makes the "gold" which the rest of the world has accepted for the last 60 years. The problem of making the notes, other than it transfers the jobs overseas since other people are willing to work for the notes the private bank has been making, in contrast to trading for stuff, is that it makes the people using the notes poorer.
Say you had worked up a saving of 1000 notes. And 1000 notes was equal to 40 years of savings. If I could make a 1000 notes in my room, then I would be super rich, because this would equal 40 years of savings. And I spent 5 minutes doing it. If I constantly did this. Making 1000 new notes when I had run dry, I would increase the amount of money in the local marked. So then people in the local marked have more money, and they can then bid higher prices for the stuff they want. With the result that your 1000 notes which equalled 40 years of saving, now starts to equal 30 years. And they continue to decline since I'm making more notes in my room and spending them, thus giving people more money to spend, which drives the prices up. So for each time I make new money. Your savings are worth less working years. Until I have made so many notes that your savings which you spent 40 years getting, can now be earned in an hour. or less..
Money is all about ratio. How much is the ratio to something else. If you had your savings in 1000 ounce of gold, then the ratio to other stuff would be more stable. Since the amount of gold is finite. There is only so much gold on the planet Earth. But you can make infinite amount of notes. Since notes is not linked to anything physical. Its just a number in a machine.
To sum up.
The government make more money to stimulate the demand. By stimulating, and creating a artificial demand they make people spent energy learning a non sustainable trade. Also they diminish the value of peoples savings, making it harder for the people wanting to invest in servicing the real demand.
In effect, it is the philosophy of the Keynesian which drives away the jobs in USA. By wanting to artificially stimulate the economy with newly created notes by the FED which is given to the Government though the sales of bonds. This philosophy also makes people poorer since the ratio of their savings, to other stuff gets larger; they need more of them to pay for stuff.
Since there is less savings, it gets harder to invest, making less jobs, which gets people anxious, where people demand a solu
What happens when the government runs out of cash? What is the true cause for the large unemployment?
Can it have some connections with the gold price going up over 3000% since 1971? Is it something to do with the federal reserve?
What would happen if USA stopped wasting its money in wars, and other government programs and let the people them self decide what to do with the money they had earned?
Could this be a strategy? Has the other stimulus strategies worked?
What is it that you don't like about Ron Paul?
He is for Personal Liberty? Sound monetary policy? No income tax?
Any man that has the courage to do as he did in the 2008 president election has my deepest respects.

In the community it is well known that blizzard won't support LAN
gaming, without an internet connection.
I quote:
"Blizzard denies the rumors of a LAN-enabled "Professional Edition",
but it sure sounds like that's the direction they're heading. On one
hand Blizzard claims that "No LAN because Battle.net 2 is just so
amazing we can't let anyone miss out!" and then on the other "Okay,
LAN play is required but only high rollers get it, not the rest of
you, you dirty pirates". Anyone who's played the beta knows how bad
and lacking Battle.net 2 is. Yes, it's beta, but the final release is
in less than 10 days. It's not like they're going to uncheck the
"Battle.net sucks enabled" checkbox the day before.
I want to love Starcraft 2, but Blizzard-Activision is making it so hard:("
Yes, you do make it hard. Because if its true that you have to connect
up to battle.net to play the game in multiplayer it just reeks of
greed.
If I buy the game, my thoughts would be: "Some of this money would go
to some cheep ass greedy bastard that is so cheap that he won't let me
play the game with my friends offline."
The real reason is probably to thwart resellers.
You guys are so greedy, and cheap. It sucks to be honest.
Before you actually gave an option of a free copy. Like if I wanted to
play with my friend the game would download to his computer, and we
could play multilayer without him needing a copy.
Something like that would be cool! But you greedy ass gets in the way
for that....
Baah.. I don't think I even will try to pirate the game. I'll just
ignore you and choose one of the gazillion other ways to spend my
time.
There is a "sdk" called basic-256 for kids. That is quite fun to program with. Its super easy, and has an inbuildt canvas to draw upon and can be run under Linux. Its also has good documentation. The kids i showed it to really liked it:)
I have been teaching some youngsters programming with Basic-256 for kids they really liked it.
Because it has a very easy syntax, and it has an inboard drawing pane. So the kids could draw stuff like a circle and get it moving.
From the Reference
Format circle x,y,r
Example
color red
circle 100,100,50 // Will draw a red circle of a radius of 50 with it's center at (100,100).
For kids this is a ZOMG!!! "Look dad! I made this!!!" *shows a circle that is moving*
