Most robbers don't pay to fix the homeowners homes. Nor do they pay for the homeowners to install security systems, or hire a security guard to patrol the premises.
I'm pretty sure in 1998, I didn't have a quad core 1.2GHz machine with 2GB RAM, and integrated graphics, which could run for 12 hours on a self contained battery, while also maintaining wireless communications and constantly keeping me connected to the internet.
How long do you leave them with no one on call, and no one responding to pages, no one monitoring the intrusion logs, no one updating software, and no one looking for exploits and compromises? How many people could be infected by a 0-day dropped on a government website left up for weeks with no one even watching the cookie jar?
Sysadmins are seen more like janitors by most management than police. You're not protecting it, you're cleaning it up. They'll pay more people to guard it and keep people out than they would have to keep it open and cleaned if it means that they can follow the letter of the law instead of the spirit.
Then that answer would be yes. Because if they were openly planning it, and got elected, then that's the job they were elected to do. Same logic that was applied to the people approving of Obamacare because they re-elected Obama.
Also, a static page can be served by many load balancers, if the servers behind them are all unavailable. Standard procedure. In addition, if they had left the sites up during the shutdown, and they had been compromised, how many people do you think would have been infected by an unpatched 0-day left on a government site or 3 for 21 days or more? How many people do you even think would have thought before clicking "OK" to accept something? With no sysadmins to watch logs, catch intrusions and patch software, it's much better to just shut it down.
Highways are run by the states, funded by the federal government. Go drive down I-10 through Louisiana, and you'll see the difference the state makes. The military? That's not run well, we've gotten our asses kicked for the last decade by people with tech from the 60's and 70's, for a cost only slightly less than Social Security or Medicare. The police? You mean the mobile tax collection force that are run by the local governments and not the federal, which don't actually investigate property crime, and instead hope it falls into their laps? That police?
And if it gets compromised? And there aren't any sysadmins watching the logs and updating the software? And you don't know how long they're going to be gone? How many people do you think could be compromised by an unpatched 0-day up on a government "trusted" website for 21 days?
I do have kids. While i understand that they're not mini-adults, they're not completely empty-headed either. You do it with them for a while, get them used to it, and then do it with them periodically after that. Just like anything else, you teach them by example, you don't just tell them the words and expect it to stick.
They likely pay a company to do the mailers for them, which doesn't have access to any of their DBs. At most, they'll include a list of addresses to exclude based on current customers, but most don't even bother to do that.
There's a whole lot of soft shoulder out there. And if you really wanted to go there, then the government could have just laid conduit and rented space in it to companies. Then it matters less what's run. To make it easier, they could also lay the pull cables ahead of time.
Unless the mother is *very* willing to work with the father, it's extremely hard to hold to a schedule for skype calls. And even when they do not, there are no teeth to the issue, since even with a lawyer, it's difficult to get any sanctions or custody change due to the mother not following a communication schedule. Also, even if she does hold to the schedule, she can do things that are very inconvenient like turning on the TV right behind the computer during the conversation, so that almost the entire conversation is spent trying to get the child's attention. Or doing it in a busy room in the house, where everyone is talking. Or doing it during dinner, so he can't talk because he's supposed to be eating.
I've been there. I'm still there. My ex moved my son over a thousand miles away when we split up. The only real communication we had for a while was the court mandated visits, which I had to pay for on top of insurance and child support. It's gotten better recently, but only because he's hit kindergarten and has turned into a terror at school, thanks to the lack of a disciplinarian in his life.
Point being: I know the submitter's feel. I've considered getting my son a phone. I still do periodically. But it wouldn't help much, because his mother would just ground him from it, and take it away.
I made it to and from the bus stop every day at 5 years old with no problems of missing it or getting lost. Perhaps you should just instill in your kids a bit of a sense of responsibility instead of assuming it's impossible?
Both companies do this, though, it's not just an AMD-ism. They describe the actual architectures underlying the market name. It allows you to know what specific features will be in a specific processor, if you actually care. But for the most part, at least with AMD, the bigger number is better. An A10 is better than an A8. And then an A10 with a higher number after the dash is better than an A10 with a lower number. If you plan to always have a discrete video card, the FX series is probably better. If you ever plan on falling back to the on-board, the A-series is better. Honestly, the APUs AMD puts out now are quite nice for a low end gaming desktop, or mid-range gaming laptop. Make great HTPCs with an ability to load up games. Anything a generation or two old will run at high settings. As long as you don't expect to be able to run Crysis 4 on a $130 CPU/GPU combo, you're alright with the A-series. If you later decide you want to, plug in a discrete card.
And a lot of others give you discounted rates on the cable, since most businesses need encouragement to buy extra channels, and they're tired of losing Sports Bars, lounges and break rooms to satellite companies.
Video games have been shown in studies to improve cognitive ability and problem solving skills. Many video games involve online interaction with other people, frequently improving social skills. Raiding in MMOs qualifies for this, especially in a guild, where you make new friends or play with old ones. Many of my guildies that I play with frequently are RL friends. In addition, quickly typing messages assists in clear, accurate, typing practice, which is a skill I use daily in my career. Many of my co-workers play videos, so I can play with them, or communicate with them about the games, further improving the team rapport.
Just because you hate video games, it doesn't mean they don't have worth. It just means you're too blind to see it.
Perhaps you've heard the term "resistance" before in terms of electrical engineering? A cable running across the pacific is gonna have a little bit of it.

Agreed. I've been using linux since 1998, and I'm still a noob compared to many here.

Yet.
It doesn't end when they become adults. It's just as common in offices and social situations. They just try to hide it better from guys.

Sorry, those aren't designated Free Speech Zones. (No, I'm not kidding).

Glad I could help a bit, regardless.
I really wish we'd just prosecute Holder for his perjury and be done with it.
Sempron: low power, low price
Athlon: Medium Power, medium price
A-Series: APU with built in graphics
FX: High end, lots of cores, high price
They're adding an ARM processor, which if you can't figure out 4 levels of processor isn't for you.
An LLC is about $50-$100 one time fee for most states. Definitely an option.

On the other hand, they're a lot less likely to discriminate based on race, based on prior experience with tipping.
