If you want to experience small government, you can always go for a holiday in Somalia. Its cheapness will probably be to your taste. And you can relish genuine piracy without the taint of Tor or anti-gun laws.
Here in Hackney, East London, we regularly get offered 2 for the price of 3 - as I was last week in the local off-licence and the local news agents. "This is an offer you can refuse!"
My mum bought 4 beigels for 25p each, and the girl tried to charge her £1.40. My mum (who used to be a programmer, and can probably add octal in her head faster than a bakery worker could count bread rolls) said "No. 4 times 25p is £1." The girl responded by bringing out a piece of paper and a biro and wrote on in 25p + 25p + 25p + 25p = £1.40 and then said "see figures can't lie!" My mum said "Ok, just give me one beigel" and handed over 25p. Then she said "OK, give me another one" another 25p handed over. Process repeated until my mum had 4 beigels and the girl had £1. - problem solved (and queue of potential customers dispersed).
If you are not good with mental arithmetic, don't ever buy more than one item in East London. And make sure the items scanned in the supermarket are the items that you actually take home with you. It is a regular event to buy two of something and find the till receipt mysteriously shows three of them. (and the shop WILL blame the Mysterons for it).
Tell the above to your kids and explain "that is why you have to study maths at school".
And tell the appropriate idiot at/. that £ is the symbol for GBP and not $AU or WTF.
I think you will find that it is 5"x7" or 8"x10" - America has yet to discover the millimetre - or maybe the millimetres get lost because Texas is so big?
Water naturally has flouride in it in many places. Those places have fewer tooth cavities, which led to the idea of adding flouride in places where it is unnaturally low.
This in turn led to a deluge of ill-informed anti-science...
Oh, hang on, I think there is a whoosh going over my head.
You design your code so you can switch between payment providers at a moment's notice (to avoid risk of rates becoming uncompetitive, or other unreasonable conditions).
And you use an OSS database to avoid Oracle^H^H^H^H^H being shafted/crushed/hung-drawn-and-quartered. If they get borked, at least they can always be forked - and others will be in the same boat.
There is only one country where the costs of medical care are generally accrued to the individual as opposed to spread out across society in general.
However, in all known countries, the effects of disease spread through the population without regard to personal income or morality. You may want to get Aids, Ebola, bubonic plague or typhoid, etc from a random person near you. We in Europe don't.
You can say what you like, but they are still in the box. We did not pay the money for the 3D fullness. We paid for other features, and got 3D as a side effect. I know it gives me headaches (was invited to high tech BBC demonstration), my son knows it gives him headaches (had attended various demos), my partner has never found any content worth the effort of opening the box for.
We may not be a typical family in terms of content interest - we don't watch much sports or Hollywood, and no gaming apart from Tetris (have hardware game) or "Bubble-Pop" on Android. We do have actual board games with boards.
We do like to watch music videos on Youtube with the TV, selecting them with our tablets, and then transferring them to the TV.
Yes, it does. The requirement that you focus in one plane on an image purporting to be in another is the problem. If you are young, it damages your ability to see properly, if you are old, and especially if you have had a job where estimating your position in space is important (driver, horse rider, athlete) then the mental stress is a killer (half hour exposure gives two day headache).
The technology was doomed in the 50's, doomed in the 70's, and remains doomed.
We bought a 3D TV, and now, four years later, no one has removed the glasses from the box they came in.
The technology is completely doomed, for ever. Always has been, and always will be.
The problem here is that the "virtual idiots" responsible for systems administration have been replaced by "complete idiots". Not having a password on a database, even if it is not exposed to anything is extremely foolish, and comparable to leaving fivers lying around on the floor. Sure leaving them on you bedroom floor is more secure than leaving them on the pavement in the high street, but if you wish to keep them, "on the floor" is not the place for banknotes. If you don't know this, you are not a fit person to handle money of any denomination. Same logic applies to sysadmins.
we expose stuff to the Internet and it is perfectly safe to do so as long as you know what you are doing
How is a PHB expected to employ someone who knows what he is doing, when he can't tie his own shoelaces? This problem is society wide, and not a computer specific problem. Idiots are unfit to hold high^H^H^H^H any office. More news at 10.

That would be an awesome laptop - and you would need the thighs of a Baikoko dancer!
Its a Super Bug - you need Kryptonite!

Surely chill pills are subject to the war on drugs? (And the Mexicans are already paying for them).
Very soon my machine will have the logical thinking capability of a leprechaun on acid, combined with the sense of humour of a clockwork mouse.
I am planning an IPO in 2019. Invest now, while it still has credibility.
Provided your definition of "run" includes sleepwalking.

If you buy from a company that offers you "free shipping" for "only" $7 then you should expect to be stitched up. That's life.
Unfortunately, not more useful.
No - remember the old story:
Young bull sees the city boys left the gates open. Says to old bull:
The city boys have left the gates open again. Lets run down the hill and do a couple of cows.
Old bull replies. Nope. Lets stroll down the hill and do a whole bunch of them!
Moral: There is no need for speed. The need is for good management and an editorial team that actually knows what an editor is supposed to do!
And absolutely no need for cows, bulls, farms or city boys, but then I digress....
And I was taught this stuff about the appendix in secondary school - in the 1960's. Get orf me lawn!
It is a really important advance - it is there to make sure the expensive case you bought for the old phone wont fit the new one.

FTFY
Can't we just sell East Texas to Mexico? (and make Trump pay).
So nothing to do with authors and musicians then? Or steam engines and railways?
Go back to primary school where you belong.

Yes, my machine IS 192.168.1.1 you insensitive clod!
My 13 year old nephews know full well what they can do with a database that is not secured, thank you.
Beware: We may not be the only family to teach 11 year olds SQL.
