   I believe that "hack" is called a new government. Tangent: The U.S. government is one of the oldest governments to not have a major political reform. The U.S. is one of the youngest countries though. Same Constitution (though it is bent for

   I wouldn't be surprised if they are having problems finding support staff. I believe it was late 2011 or early 2012 they were advertising customer support positions and wanted someone with a CompSci degree and like 2 years of experience jus

    YouTube has gotten really bad with ads. They have a higher proportion of ads than regular TV. Want to watch a 3 minute music video? here is an ad. I am against using ad block, so I just quit going to Youtube as much.

    This is exactly what I was trying to say. Millions of dollars shouldn't be spent prosecuting people like Aaron. It is a waste to society in several ways.

    They're already paying fees for this in the form of lobbying. The money from your fees would go to the same people the lobby money is going to now. How does that fix anything?

    Less people are living in poverty now more than ever: http://www.worldvision.org/news/worldwide-fewer-people-live-... Its just that wealth is being more evenly distributed and the U.S. is feeling some of that pressure.
