Despite what the summary says, he didn't create the problem. He recognized it and took a position. He may not be a good guy, but it wasn't stealing.
Too bad his "position" wasn't one of trying to help avoid/solve the problem rather than getting even more rich from exploiting it - a person with all his education, resources and such - but I guess the Wall Street mantra "I'm getting mine, fuck everyone else" was too strong for him. Maybe he didn't steal money (directly) but this kind of behavior is, let say, socioeconomic theft - unless he took those gains and did some actual good with it, did I miss something?
The government's ability to monitor everyone's financial transactions is part of the broad surveillance state enabled by technology.
To be fair, it's a requirement that banks report cash transactions of $10k or more (or a group of lessor transactions exceeding that threshold) to the Fed. Want to avoid this, write a check. As others have mentioned, walking around with a suitcase of cash is a little sketchy.
As, I believe the statue of limitations had expired on the alleged crime he was hushing up, Hastert could simply have told the truth about the cash withdrawals and avoided lying to the FBI.
Running BFG street tires, Eibach coil-over suspension and 17 psi of boost, we ran over 211 mph at Area 52.... Though the engine has produced as much as 728 hp at 29 psi of boost, the boost was run at only 13-14 psi for the record runs.
Reportedly, there are (obviously, not completely stock, but many street-legal) Civics out there with 500-1000+ HP.
I'd be up for it if they cut the price by 50% for those that are willing to see them, otherwise they can take their ads and shove them up their ass.
Sure. First they'll double the price - citing "market forces" and/or "distribution costs" - then offer you a 50% discount to tolerate ads / commercials. Problem solved...
Not at all, what we need to do is protect everybody from the threat of harm by confining them in a mental health ward until they admit they are dangerous and need to be kept confined.
Thank you Joseph Heller (for all you youngsters out there)
Mate is a fork for the now obsolete gnome 2 4 years ago.
Your definition of obsolete seems to ignore the part where it still works better on older hardware than Gnome 3 / Unity / etc... Not everyone needs or wants a high-end graphics card, most of which require a noisy little fan that when it fails makes your video card go "pop".
Can we have a discussion on here EVER, without some partisan inundating us with irrelevant linkspam nonsense?
I'm not sure that commenting about how conservatives/republicans claim to be financially independent and responsible ("we're not freeloading moochers") while simultaneously sucking down the most welfare is irrelevant when someone brings up the former.
The problem isn't really partisan bickering, but personal and political hypocrisy.

You know, we think if somebody kills someone, that's murder, you go to prison. You kill 10 people, you go to Texas, they hit you with a brick, that's what they do. 20 people, you go to a hospital, they look through a small window at you forever. And over that, we can't deal with it, you know?
Someone's killed 100,000 people. We're almost going, "Well done! You killed 100,000 people? You must get up very early in the morning. I can't even get down the gym! Your diary must look odd: “Get up in the morning, death, death, death, death, death, death, death – lunch- death, death, death -afternoon tea - death, death, death - quick shower"

Mmm ... Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator. (drool)
Why reuse something when you can trick governments to pay for it again. ...
On the other hand, reused space vehicle components have caused some problems in the past.

The testers also are just devising the hardest tests they can, ...
Hmm... Hardest tests? From TFS:
In one case, an alarm sounded, but during the pat down, the screener failed to detect a fake plastic explosive taped to the undercover agent's back.
... breaks the banking system.
That's adorable. Banks don't break; they just pat themselves on the back with another bonus pass the failures along to us common folk.
Or in the sense of adding a spoiler and neon running lights to a beat up Honda Civic "might be really cool"?
To this or this 1999 Civic SI? Sure.

... and 7 will be EOL in 2020.
Then I'll just keep Windows 7 and upgrade to Windows 11 (or whatever) then.

The NVIDIA 900 series doesn't turn on its fan until it hits 60C and when it does turn on it stays at a low and quiet RPM.
I did not know that, thanks!

Also, newer isn't always better.
I think the "32 megabytes—roughly the size of ten compressed music files" part is even more insulting.
Especially when the -- well known -- standard unit of measure is "Libraries of Congresses".
But this just seems like something that even basic testing should have caught.
Did they not run this thing on the ground for a few weeks?
It was tested by the same guys that tested the Boeing 787 for only 247 days ...
Yeah I never heard it called "Obamaphone" before this article.
Watch a little Fox "News" ...
... no answers are a priori correct.
I like your post, but aren't all answers correct only a posteriori?
Not all answers. Some are pulled out of a posterior.
You're at a very straight, very long beach.
But, I'm in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike so I think I'm screwed.

Other than that, I agree with your sentiment.
The right doesn't "want stuff" taken from other people. They want to earn it.
Right. That's why most "red" states take more money from the federal government than they contribute and the top 10 states receiving federal assistance are "red" and the bottom 10 are "blue":

Why does the left think the answer to every problem is "more of other people's money"?
Why does the right want stuff, but not want to pay for it?
Where are the technical failsafes to limit the train's speed? Guess true security updates have been eaten by their desire for profit ...
Or, you could ask Congressional Republicans, who -- even as recently as 5 days ago -- cut/limit/deny funding for Amtrak.
Everyone knows that you get a negative reaction for stealing a small amount. Steal a couple million and you'll be respected.
Not just stealing. As Eddie Izzard pointed out in his standup performance Dress to Kill:
You know, we think if somebody kills someone, that's murder, you go to prison. You kill 10 people, you go to Texas, they hit you with a brick, that's what they do. 20 people, you go to a hospital, they look through a small window at you forever. And over that, we can't deal with it, you know?

There are many, many more things in this world than your browser.
