I have no idea how something like biometrics could be applied to the web...
A phone or laptop camera could take naked pictures of you and send the images to a remote security worker for "analysis". Hey, if it's good enough for air travel, it's good enough for online shopping.
...unlike my order full of Christmas DVDs from Amazon, which is now five days overdue
You are not the only one suffering shipping problems from Amazon recently. Amazon has been systematically switching areas to use poorly performing cut rate carriers (A-1, Ensenda, Lasership, Prestige, etc) for even 2-day Prime and overnight shipping. Check out Amazon's own shipping forums for the complete horror show.
Maybe Amazon is trying to give brick and mortar retailers a holiday gift by making shipping so unreliable. In my case, it only drove me to Newegg and other online retailers that continue to use FedEx and UPS.
...this is like arguing that a road construction company doesn't have EXTRA/SPARE asphalt spreaders...
The road construction employees are demanding bribes from motorists to allow them access to finished lanes which were already paid for by taxes on the motorists. Those unwilling to pay the bribe are routed to lanes still under construction that are populated by workers who do nothing but hold flags and scratch their butts. In other words, Comcast is full of useless butt scratchers who are trying to scam you.
...you want universally bad health care for everyone
No. The OP said nothing like that. Democrats said nothing like that. Nobody but you said anything like that. Claiming people who disagree with you are burning kittens and hate freedom is not an argument.
There is a huge entrenched interest in keeping the state store monopoly in place...
Similar to Texas and its corrupt liquor laws used to protect entrenched commercial interests against competition:
"...political groups representing wholesale liquor distributors reported donating $1.38 million to the campaigns of more than 150 state officials, including most legislators and Gov. Rick Perry."
The day is approaching to give it your best
You've got to reach your prime!
That's when you need to put yourself to the test
And show us the passage of time.
We're gonna need a montage. (Montage)
A sports-training montage! (Montage)
And just show a lot of things happenin' at once.
Remind everyone of what's goin' on. (What's goin' on?)
And with every shot, show a little improvement
To show it won't take too long.
That's called a montage. (Montage)
Even Rocky had a montage! (Montage)
In any sport, if you want to go
From just a beginner to a pro
You'll need a montage. (Montage)
A simple little montage! (Montage)
Always fade out (Montage) into a montage... (Montage)
If you fade out it seems like a long time (Montage) has passed in a montage... (Montage)
Montage... (Montage)
Exactly. As guardians of what is sober and wholesome, I give Australian government workers the benefit of the doubt as to whether it is abuse. If dingo porn is wrong, then I don't want to be right.
No kidding. I wince at the nastiness my nephews, nieces and their friends more or less wallow in, but they seem generally healthy and happy. From a clean adult viewpoint I still think children are best handled with latex gloves and lengthy tongs.

The 1970s instrumental hit "Popcorn" would be hilarious.
De doo de doo doo de doo...
I ride an adult mobility scooter... I've had several altercations about this...
If you are fit enough to get into altercations, what are you doing on the scooter?
"Tron:Legacy was like watching glow-in-the-dark paint dry."
So it helps to smoke a *lot* of pot beforehand?
You first, tell us how it goes.
Prequels of played out franchises mostly blow chunks. Mostly.
I expect mistakes of Newton hand writing recognition like proportions. Let the laughs begin.
You know the score, pal. If you're not part of a patent bloc, you're little people!

Bill Gates smiles, pumps fists and yells "Hoo yeah! Git some!"

At first glance that headline read to me "Search without warrant."
The post 9/11 security hysteria has affected my brainz.
9' by 15' ? Does this lab currently contain a mop bucket and cleaning supplies? Sounds like something out of Office Space.

What is misuse of the Internet?

Was her ex really short, bearded, and wearing a funny hat?
We can't "own" our animal equals!
I can, but that's because I'm not a penniless hippie.
So he committed a crime and tweeted about it. Stupid, but helpful for law enforcement. Durrrr....
FTFA: “For this, there’s only one similar example. It’s like the Enron emails.”
That does sound like Goldman Sachs.
Steve has an insanely big head!

Between Zardoz and 2001: A Space Odyssey, I assume LSD was mandatory for making and watching Sci-Fi of that era.
