    A minor may *disaffirm*, or void, most contracts ...

    No.

    A person must be 18 years or older to enter into a written, implied, or verbal contract.

    In all states, the age requirement to sign a contract is 18 years of age. A child under the age of 18 is considered a minor and is unable to sign a contract unless it is for essential items. Essential items include medicines, food, and medical services. Otherwise, the minor child must have a parent or guardian consent to the contract in order for it to be legally binding.

    This is the price of mass technical illiteracy.

    No.

    This is the price of mass technical incompetence in the business space (not the technical staff).

    Businesses don't want to, and don't have to, pay upfront for best-practice implementations that IT departments have been asking for, for years.

    Blaming the user is a cheap cop-out.

    It's a fucking computer. It has the ability to be predictive and "mentally" read the intentions of malware and say:

    STOP! This action is not coming from the operator via user interface. It will encrypt data files and that action is not allowed on this computer. This computer is locked. Notify the IT department.

    A lot of malware comes to us from phishing where executables are wrapped in .zip files attached to an email.

    How fucking hard is it to allow ONLY administrators to open a .zip that has a .scr, .bat, .exe, .com (continue common list here)?

    I have to think of everything.

    ... customizing muscle cars in the late 50s.

    The bad news is that cars are boring now.

    The good news is that cars no longer require tinkering to get them to go.

    I've changed out clutches, installed a/c, gapped plugs and points.

    For modern cars, I don't know bullshit from wild honey about fixing them.

    I'm a retired IT guy and cut my teeth on a TRS-80 I bought in Feb, 1978.

    I helped bring in the first network for Mobil Oil.

    I programmed Access, Lotus 123 (and later Excel) macros, and crap like that.

    I do not miss those days of old cars or old computers.

    Privacy is out the window.

    I write about this shit a lot and it's similar to the "War on Piracy" in that when crap is digitized, it's essentially in the public domain.

    My fucking car rats me out via a service I use. My phone does. My desktop and all my tablets do, too.

    I get made when I buy shit at Walmart, via receipts and security cameras.

    Wrong.

    1.) People are voting for what's best for their district inside a state.

    2.) The largest, most powerful and influential voting bloc in those districts support the decisions by abstaining.

    The back-home districts are so self-serving that Congress can't agree on a goddam thing.

    Republicans have had control for quite a while and Obama has vetoed very little legislation because it's just not forthcoming.
