Your solution has been tried too, in dozens of countries. It generally results in massive corruption, and such a complete lack of funds for maintenance of the electrical grid that power outages of several hours a day is the norm.
Well, that's because nobody does it on typewriters any more. (Yes, I learned to type on a typewriter. A cheap little portable (or at least luggable) manual typewriter as a matter of fact.)
*Not* Sotomayor, Kagan, because she'd argued the case for the Obama administration in lower courts. In case you were wondering, she argued that right of first sale should be denied.
"This door must remain shut and locked or you *will* be court-martialled. Yes, the entire opposite wall has been demolished and the room is open to the outside. What has that got to do with anything?"
Elements have isotopes, different isotopes have different atomic weights, the proportion of isotopes present differs from sample to sample, the standard periodic table reports an average atomic weight that may or may not be appropriate to the sample you're considering at the moment. Way to report the scientific news of 70 years ago.
--Massive launch costs (where do you think the debt came from?)
--Inverse square law, aka "Your base station is a helluva long way away, Pt. 1". Making a convenient hand held device that can get enough signal from something in orbit to maintain the required data speeds is not easy
--Lightspeed delays, aka "Your base station is a helluva long way away, Pt. 2" You get two choices. Near earth orbit, which means you have delays that are only slightly irritating and you have to launch a lot of satellites (see problem 1 above), or high orbit, which means you don't have to launch as many satellites, but delays long enough to be actually noticeable.

GUIs are (sometimes) better when you want to do something *once*.
They really suck when you have to do that same thing hundreds of times. Which sysadmins do. On a regular basis.
Because I always go to Hollywood for policy advice! It must be the tremendous respect they show for the truth.

Winner gets a free trip to Gitmo!
...Noam Chomsky *isn't* making me get older?
Not to mention it *does* mean changing the bulb.
...for comment, but he was unavailable.
Hah! So Carol Bartz IS the First Evil! I always suspected it. They couldn't hide it just by changing one letter in the town name!
Use wikileaks.cn, right.
So do I. Remember, ignorance is strength!

Bananaware is what you run on your Bananaphone, of course.

So, in other words, we have to commit a medium-size idiocy to prevent ourselves from committing a major idiocy. Well, that makes it okay, then.

Because more power means a much bigger phone, and the phone is already too damn big NOW.

Given that all computers are human designed and constructed, how can they possibly be anything else?
Went to Google, pulled up Wikileaks. Total elapsed time: 10 seconds. Yep, that's some censoring, there.
Aerith second.
Do have any idea the damage a janitor could do if he decided to be actively malicious and applied a little ingenuity?
...anyone over 3.0!
the more websites will slip through your fingers.
Eh, it's a good joke but it's been around for years.
