The claim that planes were found so far away seems like total BS. Assuming the planes could cross the globe (unlikely) then finding any of the 200 planes over such a vast area much of which is remote or ocean is highly doubtful.
Or they keep working the same amount because their employer doesn't allow them to go from 40 hours to 39.6 hours, which is the scale of the effect you're talking about.
So only 1% of your earnings go to the gov't? Most of us aren't so lucky. Large gov't is funded by the time and efforts of tax payers. If you didn't have to pay taxes I guarantee your life would be different and you would have a lot more freedom with your time and earnings.
Also, "The larger government is, the fewer choices the individual has" is not obvious and requires a ton of proof.
The larger gov't is the more money it costs which means you spend your time working to send your money to the gov't. While you are working you are not free to do what you want.
It seems that private industry has figured out that when dealing with the gov't that they can regularly provide substandard products, go over budget and behind schedule with no negative consequences and usually benefit from these shenanigans. You blame private industry, others blame government for not providing the correct positive and negative feedback to private industry like any nonretarded entity would.
So all the companies with trade secrets must be run by idiot libertarians, very interesting. Keeping the details of innovations secret results in loss of competitive advantage, hmmm I didn't know that. Thanks for that shrewd insight Anon Coward.
I was just pointing out that your insistence on empirical data just reveals your mental deficiency to reason. You don't always get what you ask for, so don't expect it.
how about this statistic.
"More than 90% of employed workers in the US are employed by US or foreign corporations"
And... So what? How's this for a revelation, If you are a successful individual and don't work for a corp, you probably create one that you own 100% of the stock and are the only employee. Or even if you do work for another company you still make your own corp which you work for exclusively and then your corp "loans out" your services to a third party company. You'd be surprised how many corps are owned 100% by one guy and that same guy is the only employee.
Minimum wage laws generally only result in layoffs and law-breaking.
I think you meant theoretically, not generally. I haven't seen the data over the last five years, but up until then, there has been no empirical data (in the US) to show higher minimum wages have resulted in higher unemployment rates. Theoretically, I don't disagree with you. Just the emprical data hasn't proven it, yet. If you have such data, please share.
Empirical data? If the min wage was $100/hr would that result in more unemployment... please show me empirical data, cannot think. There are people without jobs and there are jobs that aren't worth minimum wage (whatever that min is at the time). There is a real line in which you have a job at min wage and don't have a job. For example those workers who's jobs are hanging by a thread and are on the verge of getting canned, from bad performance, slow business, whatever. If you can see that there are workers in this situation, you can see that they will get canned when the min wage goes up.
Don't worry, the earth is moving away from the sun at about 10m/cy. The change in distance as pertaining to the article is due to the earth's orbit being an ellipse, not a perfect circle.
Well, if you read the paper it tells you. It's the ref #6. D. E. Alburger, G. Harbottle, and E. F. Norton, Earth and Planet. Sci. Lett. 78, 168 (1986).
"An annual modulation of the 32Si/36Cl ratio is clearly evident, as was first reported in Ref. [6]."
The decay data shown on the blog figure (which is the same as fig 1 in the paper) originated from the same 1986 ref.
Thanks to the internet we can all learn about a 22 year old discovery today. I wonder how many other mind blowing preinternet discoveries are waiting in obscurity in some old journal just waiting to be rehashed and then put on arxiv so it can finally have its world debut.
You have to be *in* the US for your rights to be in effect. Once you're at border security, you're not in the US anymore, so your rights don't apply. At least that's the argument, however dubious.
I've never heard that one. However, if you are smuggling something and they find it at border security, they are happy to inform you that you absolutely are in the US.
I've had my base on the dark side for years, nobody's bothered me yet. The existence of rights on the moon is determined by who wields power on the moon, not some piece of paper on earth. Unless nations on earth are willing to use violence to enforce these land deeds, then the deeds are worthless. I wonder how hard it is to launch moon rocks at earth.
So you are not disputing that the AU is increasing, just that the current AU is only known to a certain accuracy? Anyone literate in science would know you can measure an object approaching or receding without knowing the precise distance that the object is from the observer.
I think you just like saying Period. more than thinking about the issue. The fact is that we are observing the problems with gravity that you seem to want to ignore. Since it seems that you have a bias toward planetary data, perhaps you will consider the unexplained increase of the AU of about 7-10m/century.
Great idea, everyone who likes to use cell phones please open you wallets and throw some more cash into the war of terror fund, um... I mean the war on terror. I can't wait to feel safe again and I always wanted to be conscripted as a gov't agent.

My experience with wolfram alpha has been has been pretty good.
T is actually a bonus. Just run the gas around your exhaust manifold or catalytic converter before going to the air motor.

As long as we have Captain Hindsight around we will always be safe!!!!
The government is footing the bill for the patent fees. The consumer then pays the actual cost of the device.
This kind of retarded thinking is sadly much too common. The question of how all this gov't idiocy actually gets funded seems to escape most people.

Thank you. If we could only get more people to hope like you, all our technological problems would be solved.

Great, Joe schmo wage earner gets to pay taxes to go towards Globowindfarm inc's corporate welfare program.
Ahhh, If only the central bankers were concerned about the system falling apart from printing funny money...
