Inadvertent discrimination: When you didn't even know about the category you were discriminating against, because gasp, nobody in your circle of acquaintances is a member of that group.
And yes, take it from a recovering Marxist- charges of discrimination, whether overt or inadvertent, are ALL ABOUT EQUAL OUTCOME and NEVER about EQUAL OPPORTUNITY or god forbid, equal work put in.
You missed the granddaddy that turned us on to the concept of cyber war to begin with: The Cookoo's Egg by Cliff Stoll.
Your list of course has more recent technology (the teenagers hired by the KGB were using a Commodore 64 with a 1200 baud modem after all...ancient history now) but the primary defense remains the same (limit bandwidth of attack profile and log everything).
So we can build the situation/war room every President from here on out is going to want anyway with just a few walls of screens and a comfy chair with cup holders and a big red "NUKE" button on an old WICO trackball?
It'd even be more reasonable for the cell phone company to pay a designer to pair their smartphone with an outfit or set of outfits specifically designed for it.
The neat thing is that unlike the original, if he replaces his direction and gearbox with a simple polarity reversing knifeswitch, he'll have a reverse gear!
I don't know, but I'm confident *somebody* will turn up in either 2020 or 2024. Trump only gets to act the way he does because he's taking Obama to the next level. Maybe somebody who will nuke Mexico, maybe somebody who will nuke the New York Stock Exchange, but either way, it can always get worse.
Who cares, we have better technology than they do. There is NO reason, with the NSA's total information database, that we shouldn't be able to do a background check on any one of 7.5 billion human beings in less than a week.
I wonder if part of the price was towing the damn thing from Puget Sound to Virginia. Seems pretty ridiculous moving a decommissioned ship that far, when you have a perfectly good Pacific boneyard in San Francisco.
Now if we could just use the same technology to reduce the backlog of legal visa and citizenship applications to something more reasonable than a three decade wait, we could have a real conversation about immigration.
Obama already did that one. Now Trump is busy stealing it from Obama. It's been a tradition for at least the last 50 years for each President to steal the reputation of "Worst President Ever" from the previous one, and I don't see Trump as the bottom of the barrel yet.
Yes, your answers put you more in the sexual and drug abuse side, even if you don't have those problems in your life, you are willing to let other people have those problems. As a individualist, you don't see it as any of your business.
That's what happened to the "ties that bind us"- in the last 100 years or so, they've largely melted away, if they ever existed to begin with. Partisanship is all that is left.
The word "sheeple" gives you away as an individual extremest, usually known as a libertarian. I'd have to examine your lifestyle to know if you are a fiscal libertarian, a sexual libertarian, a drug abuse libertarian, or a gun abuse libertarian, but you're probably some combination thereof.
The ironic part being all those billions the sand miners are bringing in, will not result in actual storefronts, but WILL result in blasting user data to Big Cloud Companies.
Submission of free will to law and order creates a stable political system.
But power corrupts, and absolute power, corrupts absolutely. Put the best saint in charge of a law and order system, and as soon as he can start consolidating power, he'll become corrupt.
Thus, you need laws on term limits and such, to move the corrupt ones to retirement and bring in a fresh batch every so often.
The real problem in the United States really has five layers of government on the federal level, and only two of those layers are subject to anything like terms, let alone term limits. If you include local level, we have someplace between 10-12 layers depending on if you live rural or urban, and at best, only 6 of those layers are subject to the vote. Which leaves an awful lot of government employees that are government-for-life types, able to abuse their positions for their own enrichment.
Corruption is caused by instability in the political system. A truly stable political system will replace corrupt officials with fresh ones on a regular basis.

IIRC, the divisions between Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia would mean that China, Russia, and North Korea are all Eastasia
I have only two words for you: La Raza

Hmmm, isn't Scott-E-Vest doing something about that?

Either that, or the new big fashion statement among criminals is going to become glitter makeup.

I fail to see how better, more objective, enforcement of the law is a bad thing.
Gun abuse is leaving them loaded with no trigger lock, where anybody on the drug abuse side can get their hands on it.

That's what comes from a large homosexual population.

Trees create their own atmosphere.
No, actually, there isn't. You just need to think three dimensional instead of two.

Sounds like to me you need to go back to a fidonet like system.
