Nothing, except that "1 person, 1 vote" isn't necessarily the best voting scheme to use. It's what the US has now, but that doesn't mean it can't change.
By this, do you mean strictly S-Corps, or do you include LLCs? What research I've done makes LLCs very attractive to me. (Full time employee, toying with treading out into the world of consulting from time to time.)
I use virtawin on all of my windows machines, both work and personal. I've never had any negative issue with it. It's fantastic. Very customizeable, seemless integration, low memory footprint...what more could you ask for?
For example, my work filters do in fact filter out MP3 sites as well as some other categories of sites. However, limited personal surfing is explicitly allowed in the official Acceptible Technology Use documentation, subject to filtering (no porn, warez, mp3, etc.).
It's a far cry from 'allow everything on the internet' to 'no personal surfing allowed'.
Doh, that was terrible. I meant to hit preview instead of submit. Lazy mouse.
Let's try again.
As for the <b>/<strong> comment, I don't think has been depreciated. My understanding of <b> vs. <strong> is that <strong> is used for semantic markup, whereas <b> is used for visual display clues only. While they have the same effect in your everyday browser (Firefox/IE/Opera), they could make a difference to alternate browsers/renderers such as text only, Braille, etc.

The chemical plants are actually in a very concentrated area, much of North Jersey isn't really all that bad either. Unfortunately that area just happens to be right where the airport is...not exactly ideal for giving a good first impression.

Mod parent up. The GP is confusing pure random chance (such as the lottery) with games that have both strategy elements AND random chance. Employing good strategy can alter the odds in your favor.
Dodging the obvious gambling example of this (Black Jack), let's take a look at other things which have random elements:
1) Stock Market. Knowing how to play the market is not a prerequisite to making money short term, but long term you need to know what you are doing or you will lose money.
2) Backgammon. Dice game, also 'random', but there are clearly skills needed to play well.
3) Bridge. I happen to know quite well exactly how much skill is involved in this game, but it uses cards. Therefore, the most skillful can still be beaten by the least skillful in the short term.
Such is the way of any game that isn't pre-deterministic. That does NOT make it 'gambling' in the lottery-tax-on-bad-math-skills sense. Quite the opposite in the case of poker actually, it can be used as a way to teach good math skills...especially in the areas of probablity.
The sites do monitor for abuses like that as best they can. (Checking IPs, etc.) However, there are limits to what you can do in poker anyway. Collusion is possible, but there are also so many tables in play simultaneously that if you suspect there may be collusion going on, you can move to another table very easily.
I've been playing online for some time now and I haven't noticed anyone cheating. It's been fun and profitable for me. YMMV.
And where are you doing this traceroute (and DNS query) from exactly? You do know that many companies give latency based responses to DNS to site balance appropriately, right?
They definitely have not stopped giving out mod points completely. I've had points twice in the last 3 days. They do seem to be more rare though, I agree. Which means that there are less +5 Insightful posts, unless they actually are insightful. Could be worse.
Which of course begs the need for open certification using an open trusted CA, rather than the current prevalent pay money to obtain a cert model. (Especially paying money to Verisign...brrrr.)
Check out https://cacert.org/. I'd like to see a project like this get more milage, become a root certificate installed by default in browsers, etc. Perhaps if getting a CA was actually based on trust, rather than on dollars, we'd see more signed code in the wild.
Check out http://cherrypy.org/ as a lighter weight python framework. It's not exactly an apples-to-apples comparison, but it's not as slow as Zope/Plone.
Xor works on any arbitrary string of bits, regardless of the underlying meaning of the bits. They can represent floats, doubles, strings, pointers, whatever. The only thing that's required is that the logical length of the bit string is identical. (By logical length, I mean prepending an arbitrary number of 0s is fine, so long as the len(a)==len(b) measured in bits.)

Have you heard of Instant Runoff Voting?

The only thing I miss in Home Ed vs Pro is Remote Desktop. VNC will do (of course), but sound integration in RDP is nice.

Wow there's a lot of assumptions there.

Why is this moderated down? It's at least as funny as other comments I've seen marked +5 Funny.

There was a World Bridge Tournament where a player was stripped of their medal due to pain killers.

Unless your wife happens to like poker too. Mine does, she plays (much) more than I do. She's also better at it. Couldn't hurt to ask...

Even more to the point, if your kid steals someone else's car and wrecks it, you're responsible. If it's your car, it's not even stealing.
Not so. The Nevada Gaming Commission oversees the creation of those rules. They say it isn't cheating.

You could use the alternate word 'revoked'. No danger in misinterpretation there.
And where are you doing this traceroute (and DNS query) from exactly? You do know that many companies give latency based responses to DNS to site balance appropriately, right?
And why does the government/FCC feel that we need that protection? And why is it their place to safeguard morality?

Isn't Sun Fire an x86 platform? How much support do you think it will need in 2 years?
You mean like (La)TeX? Hardly a new idea...
