You're right: it's not an invasion of privacy. It's a violation of due process. A red light camera is not human and cannot report to traffic court to justify its actions. Judges have a tendency to simply accept what devices like radar guns and cameras report as fact, because "machines don't make mistakes".
When red light cameras are installed, invariably the yellow light duration is reduced to ensure that more people are caught in the intersection. Eventually, this causes more accidents as people start slamming on the brakes when they see a yellow and get rear-ended.
In a list of the world's top censors, Cheney wouldn't even make the first nineteen single-spaced, hardcover volumes. The man is out of office: get over it. "Move on", right?
Nope. They can get malware. The difference is that an exploit doesn't need to take off in the wild for Linux to patch it, which is more than you can say for Microsoft.
This is incorrect. Microsoft releases patches before the exploits are found in the wild nearly all of the time.
I had Hyperaccess, and it let you look at images as you downloaded them via Y/Zmodem. That was fantastic back then. I also used ZOC, which was excellent and also ran on OS/2.

It may seem shocking, but I believe that the internet is far more left-wing than it was in 1996. And it was pretty far left in 1996, considering that it was far less commercialized and driven mostly by 20-something Gen Xers.

Go to mudconnect.com for a huge list. Frankly, it's far bigger than the "Official MUDlist" that used to be passed around on Usenet back in the supposed heyday of MUs. Shameless plug: for something more like a BBS door game, see my sig.
I'll ignore the car insurance thing, but I'd say you would be better off getting an HDHP (high deductible health plan) with a health savings account than going cash. Your HSA will earn a little interest, can be carried indefinitely, and can be cashed out just like a savings account when you terminate the plan if necessary. The HDHP will be quite cheap, yet will act as a safety net if you end up with a serious illness.

No. Regardless, that would be incorrect. The Constitution says that a president who was deemed unqualified for office may be removed.
You know, everyone is so worried about the Ministry of Truth while the Ministry of Funny Walks goes on unchecked!
Which meaning? "In every case"? Well, yes-- it does mean that.

Why not? The guys in Washington now seem to like how the Europeans do everything else.

Actually, it seems most people don't even understand the first amendment. They think it only applies to speech they agree with.
So now the Obama administration has moved both the census and Internet security under his watch. What is the President planning?
I had to look up "penuriously". I commend you, sir, on encouraging me to increase my word power.
You know that conclusion that Lord Ender just made? A bit fallacious.
Shortly after the government banned all useful weapons so that they didn't need to fear the people anymore.

No, actually it seems only weakly ironic for anyone who is well versed in either history or theology.
It sounds like your teacher at least put in a good effort considering the circumstances.
You extrapolated an argument from his sig, which merely stated a fact.
This is incorrect. Microsoft releases patches before the exploits are found in the wild nearly all of the time.
Geez. Who scratched your LP today?
Hmph. Nothing sounds better than my Sharpie-rimmed CDs!
