For an 18-year old who's main problem is discipline and sense of responsibility the whole curfew/work thing should work pretty good.
Would you like to be tagged, tracked, grounded, Internet access restricted, *and* have a set of hard physical work to get through every day (otherwise you go to real prison)?
Take away the $50 billion, put them on curfew, force them to change old people's diapers a couple of days a week, bring back the Victorian-style work machines (you have to turn a heavy wheel 2000 times per day), etc. Use your imagination...
The one thing you SHOULDN'T do is take away every chance they might have to contribute to society (and actually turn them into a burden...) by locking them in a prison.
As others have said, prison should be reserved for violent people, people who will physically harm others (or their property).

Refund or not, the Diebold saga is now five or six years beyond being funny. They should have lost whatever contract they have *years* ago.
20 miles? Get a bike. You'll save the gas+repairs money as well.
Living in rural Alabama isn't a birthright. If you can't afford to live there then you have to move.
Um, having no insurance IS an infraction. All by itself. A cop has every right to stop you for that alone.
Insurance companies often refuse to payout for damage to the insured car, but not so often for damage to third parties.
It's the third parties that I'm thinking of when I say "uninsured drivers".
If you want to wreck your own cargo right ahead. I'll film it and put it on youtube.
Want to driver near my car which I need to travel to work every day? You better have insurance.
Insurance is mandatory because people who don't have it can hit things with their car and ruin other people's lives.
If your insurance premium seems high, it's most likely because of insurance fraud, not because they don't have enough customers.
PS: More customers = more fraud.
They can afford a car and gas, but not insurance...?
Methinks insurance evasion isn't 100% about money.
You fail at reading. Period.

Summary says: "...to hunt down uninsured motorists"
I've got no sympathy at all for uninsured motorists.

He could spend his days fixing up the houses of all the people he bilked - painting, mowing their lawns, etc.
Take away all his luxuries, put him on curfew, make him serve, it wouldn't add up to much but it would make a lot of greedy bastards think twice.

They're not really going with ARM, they're just trying to get a good price out of Intel.
Seriously, is anybody going to switch browser because it loads a page two tenths of a second faster?
Plus, doesn't Adblock makes the whole "benchmark" moot.
Did he also notice that the kids who carry knives get their games via The Pirate Bay...?
Thought not.

Um, that'd be what the "streisendeffect" tag is for...
We'll all have to sit infuriatingly still if we want to listen to some music.
Google earth data is usually very old. Last I heard, nuclear submarines tend to move around.
Easy: You pimp and sell drugs to pay for your bandwidth habit.
Guess what? Now they're going to distort the audio as well...!
No it isn't. Intel is using the worst possible technology (in theory) - MLC NAND.
If that's the WORST, there's nothing to worry about.
Listen to your hard disk while compiling. If it's thrashing, get an SSD.
