I just want to make sure I understand: 2 girls, 1 guy is horrendous, because it extends to 4 girls, 2 guys, etc... And that is bad/wrong. But 2 lesbian couples, 1 gay couple is fine?
I guess I want to confirm you are against lesbian relations as well.

The incentives are truly twisted. If a merchant accepts a fraudulent card, the bank will not pay anything . They told the merchant that card number was good, but never signed off on that transaction. So, they get their money back from the merchant. Then, they charge the merchant a fee for wasting their time.
Long story short, banks love chargebacks.
That's why online payment processors (Paypal, Amazon Payments) can justify taking a bigger chunk of the credit card processing fees. They assume that risk (as long as you live up to certain rules), and they charge you for it.
The DNA link to specific births they need is right there for all the courts to see. "But...but...donor records are anonymous in my state!", you're going to say
No, "but I followed state law in giving my semen to an authorized/licensed/bonded recipient, therefore absolving me of parental rights under State Law X.Y.Z", I'll say.
It's called a subsidy. They exist in many areas.Most people would not buy an electric car or hybrid without them, nor install solar panels. The number of companies that require, or required, subsidies to start is pretty high.
The state states it subsidizes children, it gets more children.
So what's the better way for a company to get you and the interviewer to have a conversation about a technical issue? Or better yet, what topic would you suggest?
Before you suggest something "on my resume" keep in mind the burden that puts on the company for each interview. They have to find an internal expert,and predict accurately which aspects of the tech. you used vs.replaced,etc.
I tend to agree that most people want to work. Although, quite often, I find people who say they want to work, but aren't even willing to put forth the effort to find a job.
But I disagree that not having to work is bleak, etcetera. Not having to work to survive means that you can afford to devote your productive time to making artisan butter, or artisan milk production. I suppose it's the not having to maximize output. Which is freeing. Instead of pushing out yet more serviceable products, you can make one piece you're proud of.
I didn't want to devolve to communism. And some people want to work 80 hours a week. But 1/3 of your life is spent working. By reducing inequality, we can remove the incentive to make that part of your life miserable.
It's the "Star Trek" future. You run a vineyard because you really want to. Or one of those jobs that most people want to do (as you referenced). And the jobs no one wants to do, robots do. Hell, who's going to be upset if all janitorial jobs get done by robots. After all, you alluded to this... everyone wants to do certain work, but no one wants to clean shit.
I've never used GPS. I've always sideloaded apps. I will say it is remarkably frustrating how many developers refuse to release their applications in what I would consider a "normal" way - on their website.
Your entire post is predicated on the notion that people should have to work to make a living. As we approach a post-scarcity society, that notion becomes more and more antiquated. Societies surplus product is already sufficient to provide all citizens with food/shelter/clothing/medicine/phone/internet without the need for them to work.
I want to arrange icons in a meaningful way on a desktop, both programs and functions.
I want to extend the right click context menu
I want to have a small panel in the bottom right of my screen showing currently running programs in miniature (position negotiable)
I want to be able to have a variety of windows of various sizes open, not just full, 1/4, 3/4
I'd like to be able to type the first X letters of a program, have a self-shrinking list of all executable on my computer narrow down as I type (the start menu functionality)
Now, most of my experience has been on 8, not 8.1 And I used other people's machines, not my own. But all those looked like they would be problems.
Now, question, what are the advantages of 8 (or 8.1) that matter to me on a desktop/laptop?
If it weren't for the fact that Windows 8 (and 8.1) seems hell bent on removing the things that make it a computer, and not just a tablet, I would feel a lot more confident this move was going to just lead to a bunch of laughter.
Why does everyone want Android everywhere? I've used OS X, iOS,the original Mac OS, Windows 3.1 - 7, and various linux distros. And Android. Android is hands down the most annoying. And yet people persist in wanting not just smartphones, but real computers to run it.
Probable cause is required for a warrant. No one claims they have probable cause. The question is "is the search unreasonable." Because if it is reasonable, no warrant is required.
Shouldn't the ruling be "The government is allowed because of clause x y z of the something or other act."
Not really. Laws cover a ton of possible futures, and only some are predictable or enumerable.
So, for instance, the fourth amendment prevents unreasonable searches. A search with a warrant is, on face, reasonable. But other searches can be reasonable. If a cop sees you running from an armored car covered in blood and carrying a burlap sack, and the guards are dead, and you go running into a house, it's reasonable for the cop to search the house for you.
Conversely, it is not reasonable to kick down your door for absolutely no reason.
In between, judgement calls start getting made. And judges often have to make them.
Is your "metadata" reasonably considered private? Even if you disclose it to a teleco? Etc. etc. etc.
Why do you think Google has been laying dark fiber? So when Comcast starts that shit, they'll just look them in the eye and say "Do you really want another Austin or Kansas City?" Not that they want to light it up, but to use it as a threat.
Of course, that only really helps Youtube and other Google projects
If it were allowed to be ran like any other government agency, the Post Office would actually be doing OK.
Or to use the same accounting methods as almost every private enterprise. I say "almost" because I'm fairly sure there are some sole-proprietorships/partnerships that get a tax advantage from doing that screwball accounting.
Rockstar is owned by MS and Apple and Sony. MS, Apple and Sony are producing products that use the patents. Does this change your proposed solution? If so, how do you account for that change in a general way.
AFAIK you can't assign ownership of a patent "60% to Corp A, 30% to Corp B, and 10% to Corp C"
You can assign patent ownership jointly. The issue is every patent owner can then use the patent royalty-free. And that use can be licensing it to a third party. So, if you want to avoid a (potential future) bidding war between A,B and C when licensing to D; or you want to have a 60-30-10 royalty split the easiest way is to have A,B and C form X.

Chargebacks for fraudulent use of a real card totally screw the merchants. For a fake card, probably not so much.

How does it get verified for the GPS? Automated analysis? Why can that not be part of the OS?
Also, I see the value in browsing GPS. But I can do that without a Google account being tied to my device. GPS.... not so much.
Interesting.
I've never used GPS. I've always sideloaded apps. I will say it is remarkably frustrating how many developers refuse to release their applications in what I would consider a "normal" way - on their website.

Isn't that just Mavricks? That is, a one out of an annual cycle? Isnt' that what MS did with XP servicepacks, etc.? Or how is it different.
I'm not an OSX person, so I honestly don't know.
Questions:
Did the Atrix really have two CPUs?
Is it harder than a browser on x86/x64 running few to no extensions? What about in a locked down linux OS?
How do you handle shitty mobile versions of sites?
What about it autodetecting you are on a "mobile device" and refusing to allow you to, say, watch hulu?
How much of that is the underlying technology, and how much that mobile browsers are/were a less enticing target?
Doesn't that also mean Google will view your entire browsing history?
Perhaps I could introduce you to one of the other billion flavors of linux?
What makes Android better than any other distro?
Here are the issues I've run into on 8:

Typically these are the same people who say you entered into a free and voluntary exchange to have sex for the money to feed your child.
Thanks!

The Nook also does not require those things. Never connected to the Internet. All books sideloaded.
Of course, both the Nook and Kindle encourage you to connect them.
