>Social Security is a HUGE liability, and there is nothing but IOUs in the "trust fund". Social Security can be nothing but a drain in the long term as it is a forced Ponzi scheme and the average age of the population is increasing.
You do realize, it is only that case because of a general debt problem, LBJ took it (partially) out of the deficit (probably to balance the budget during the time of the Korean war) And Regan Finished it off by redirecting 100% of the Trust fund to the general budget. Otherwise the money paid in, would have made enough interest to make it 100% solvent (the only Panzi type scenario is that more people paid into the fund, then took out, due to them dying before collecting full benefits.) Then due to the huge Deficit ran up from Regan/Bush (a large portion taken off the books by using the SS surplus at the time) the entire government became the panzi scheme needing propped up by more and more tax payers to pay off the interest on the debt, since they increased the size of the government, and simultaneously cut the amount of taxes paid in to cover.
The people getting hurt, in both cases didn't agree.
In fact, it requires the non-consent of one party.
Ahh, so it would have been appropriate if he had used a gang-rape analogy. After all studies show 9 out of 10 people enjoy gang rape (IE 9 out of 10 people agreed to it.)
Well, it is somewhere in the middle, Since the 70's, output per worker has gone up 3*, while employment in manufacturing is at 2/3 of what it was in the 70's. So we doubled our output due to these cost savings. But those jobs have been picked up in Engineering, and other roles that also help support this increase.
I am not currently too worried about the outsourcing of manufacturing, it gives more opportunities for Engineers and the like to compete. IE no way could I get a group of people together, and build a factory to compete with GM's ability to build cars. As Tesla has shown, a small group of engineers can get together and design something, and have it manufactured at the same plants that GM used. As more and more manufacturing jobs are outsourced, the more and more opportunities will come to compete without having to work for that one big group of companies.
>That means that as well as there being less jobs due to technology, there are also less jobs because people work longer.
You do realize all jobs are to create something for people. So if you have fewer people, then you have fewer consumers, with fewer consumers comes the need for less production. Fewer people that are producers only becomes a issue, when having a location where wages are too low, that they can't become consumers. This is the only "economic hole." That can't be sustained economically, if that is also the major growing population.
>"If machines can do 40% of the work, I can lay off 40% of my work force. And then I can pay less to the remaining 60% because there's more competition for jobs!"
That was the worst case option for all involved. Instead of laying off 40% of his employees, he could instead increase production 40%, as his costs go down from the reduced cost of the automated work and presumed quality increase, he will pull a higher percentage of the market, further increasing his demand (at the lower cost.) His competitors will follow, or go out of business, as the product costs continue to decrease, consumption of the product will increase and the entire industry will need more employees, and the value of every employee paid increases.
Also how did that automation come about? Likely he paid additional workers to add equipment, and paid engineers, etc for development and equipment, so more jobs created, and higher paying jobs.
Basically this is the battle, if the US (for example) wants to compete, it either needs to go to a lower pay than the rest of the world, or it needs to out automate, and win on quality and automation. If we lose on the automation, then we lose on the pay (and job count.)

I highly doubt this is a "easily" fixed, even though Intel gives a method to block memory reads/writes, it is likely not as simple as setting a different bit if it is read only. It is generally a very complicated thing, trying to do a entire Trusted computing operating system, and protecting drivers. Preventing devices from just reporting itself as a trusted device... Since Apple is not well known for caring about this kind of issue (or even that successful at closing these holes, IE Iphone rooting) , I doubt it will be closed up anytime soon on the Apple.
Sure, if you want any device plugged into your expansion port to have full root access to all of your data If on the other hand you want to be able to know you can safely connect someone elses camera/USB type drive to your laptop without fear, then you will still want USB ports.
>Arming the populace would be hard to prove and more effective.
True, The republican congress likes to follow Regan's examples. His administration was effective at arming The Afghanistan rebels against the soviets, nothing bad ever came from that, correct? I mean that Osama bin Laden guy we armed then was very affective at attacking large governments, I am sure we could train similar people in Libya with similar results.
I am not going to pretend to know what is right or wrong (ok maybe a little.) The idea put forth by the left is that pregnant mexican woman are jumping the border trying to have a kid with American birth, and that sucks the whole family into being citizens in a few years... That may happen, but is not the usual case. The more normal case is that the illegals work for years in the US, and have a kid that will not be recognized as a Mexican citizen, the kid is raised in US schools always in fear they will be kicked out. So if we don't allow the kid, who has only known the USA as home, to live here. They won't be a Mexican Citizen. Your going to punish that kid for the sins of the parrents for life, since they cannot live in the country the know, and they do not have another country to accept them either. Funny that the same right wing that thinks you can't terminate the life of the un-born for the sins of the father (case of rape...) are willing to then punish that same kid for the sins of the father for the rest of their life (which is not likely to live as long when kicked out of the home they know.)

True, you can look at a piece of paper in a tub, and maybe even locate it later in life. You can even look in the newspaper and see that some number was later calculated. So Paper to Machine you know, and can recreate. But, did that machines content ever really get looked at? You have no way to track, you have no independent validation path... pure faith from then up. Proper E-Voting ballots could easily be validated they reached the correct server, you could even have multiple servers from independent suppliers and verify the exact same packet reached every server in mSeconds. If one of those is the same server your eballot tallies go to today, you have much more assurances than you have today. IE your still trusting that last step to experts to validate, but you are removing all the possible problems today that can invalidate you ballot before reaching the final count. Granted, a missing problem with e-ballot, is the psychological re-enforcement of having a "re-count" that makes people feel better (while mathematically proving the imperfections of the current system with every re-count changing the result slightly.) And the problem where I am comparing a currently in-place system to a theoretically possible system.
>For the acetylene he would fill a balloon with the gas
I assume it was a mix of acetylene and oxygen. Shop teacher would pop 3 balloons with a lighter, one pure oxygen, one pure acetylene, one much smaller balloon, mostly O2 with 1/3 acetylene. About the only difference in the first 2, was the pure acetylene left a bunch of soot behind. the third one, well it was much more exciting.
physical access issues are more about getting full use of a device, not about getting to the secure data stored on the device. IE if they get ahold of my Laptop, I fully expect the thief to be able to get a windows login, and even a admin account up, but he isn't going to get my web/banking passwords from mozilla. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they can install a trojan that could get these on my next login, if the device were given back to me. But really 6 minutes after grabbing the device to have the passwords, that are claimed to be stored encrypted?
but how does that help give us access to the internet?
because only one person needs to find a feed once to any of the desired content and your all able to see it.
simply not possible.
It's actually fairly simple concept. Squid allows remote proxys, so if everyone of these houses had a squid proxy, and you had them all linked as remote proxy to yours, any content (even during a blackout) that any of them had connected to would be available without using the outside link. With wccpv2 which is supportable using most cisco routers, and of course dd-wrt squid can also cache streams, such as youtube, etc. So if the USA labels something like wiki-leaks as "dangerous" and flips the switch, if anyone in your back link had accessed that content, it would still be available to all.
worse yet, they force all to raise the prices of all E-Books say 15%, to cover some of the lost revenue to apple on all purchases, so apple is even screwing us non Apple people with higher costs. Exactly what appears to happen on AT&T, Apple phones costs AT&T more than all other phones. But are not passing that on to Apple customers (I know AT&T prices didn't go up, but they haven't decreased either.) Music was similar, apple pushed that price up for all as well.
Well EU has laws that require, for private corporations also, That disclosure, and consent is needed before sharing identifying data. US has a similar organization that requires the same treatment of data, but it is currently voluntary (depends on the individual state laws, CA for one does require much of it) So yeah, the Australian government could certainly help by adding punishments, and enforcements in situations like this, to protect their citizens from being forced into giving up information (since pubs,etc are likely state regulated, competition is limited, and thus the free market is not exerting the needed forces to maintain on it's own.)
speed of moving material isn't about top speed, it is capacity *speed. if you imagine a ski lift with a chair every 15', it can easily carry several hundred people at 15mph, compared to taking a bus where it carries 30 people at 70 mph, a fully burdened lift may be capable of accepting and delivering 20 people per minute 24/7, while you may need a fleet of buses to do similar (1 operator instead of 20) Even with a train, they can't dump while moving at anything but a crawl. A similar concept is the belt-lines which is considered the most efficient way of delivering materials within a mine/quarry. The big payoff their is they typically want a constant flow, not a big lump (into furnaces, etc) so if you want a metered quantity, you can't feed directly from a train/semi, but you can feed directly from a belt-line, where they have plenty of notice if a shortage is coming.
Or? Why not shot the drugs to the RC plane, which uses gps to fly to the weather balloons for inflight refueling, then drop them into a kayak being towed by a sail boat.
unless you film it, then she's a adult film star, or actress. Unless it's with a congressman then she/he is a page. Unless the money is used to purchase food, entertainment, then she is a friends date...
You have a constitutional right to be free from government search..., you have no such constitutional right from a private entity. Any trespass, etc protections from a private entity, like Google, is going to be state/city/county law, Not a federal right. For example if your neighbor puts up a web cam that films you/part of your property, (depending on local laws) and catch you stealing something, it is likely within their rights to use that as evidence to sue you. Without a warrant, the police probably cannot do the same and use it in a criminal case.
>even when the available facts point in the other direction
I am sure you can see some of why this line was drawn. The last person to run against Gabby was Jessy Kelly, a constitution spewing, hate throwing Tea Party candidate. The attacker nut used many of the exact same words against Gabby, as Jessie did during the campaign. He was also full of hate for gabby while she was running against Kelly. He also spewed anti constitution rants against things he didn't think were right, just like Kelly. He didn't need to be a Tea Party/Republican believer, to side with the enemy of his enemy. To say he wasn't influenced by the Tea Party is more of a stretch, IMHO than to say he was.
I have never blamed Repubs/Tea party/Kelly for any of the actions of this nut, and we shouldn't do that. But these Tea Party pukes lived by the get all the attention we can using any means we can, no line can be drawn they wouldn't cross with their words. Let them suffer for those actions as well, if they wont be called out when they cross the line, why should their enemys.
I agree with you, however... The initial report was about him crying about the Community college being a "violation of the Constitution of the United States" (a verifiable fact) when he was thrown out of that college last year (agreed to leave, whatever.) That was the Calling card of the Tea Party, to claim everything they didn't like was a violation of the Constitution without much reasoning behind it. Especially of the Tea Party candidate running against Gabriel Giffords in the last election. So the initial Facts about the suspect were very Tea Party Like, and with this guy being infatuated with Gaby (in a "she is a phony" statements he made about her to his friends. ), to say he wasn't influenced by the last candidate to run against her, would be a real stretch. I would say, it is almost a certainty that he was heavily influenced by at least one Tea party candidates crap, even if not affiliated with anything else republican like.
