However the top one percent, that Gore talks about so much, pay 1/3 of all taxes. Gore admits this.
But lets talk about the greater concern. How do we preserve the what we have? Bush's plan gives tax breaks to everyone. Not just the rich not just the poor. Gore's plan give money to poeple who chose to do something the goverment wants them to do. This is a fundamental diferance in philosophy.
But it is Bush's other plan (social security) that is not getting enough atention. If you are poor. Part of you social security money can be set aside in an investment account. That money is yours to keep no matter what! You can pass it down to your heirs when you die. That money becomes Hamilton's "pools of capital" that provide the social mobility the author liked so much.
That becomes especially true if taxation only affects (as it should) disposable income.
And it does not? How much does a person who makes 18k pay in taxes? Really?
To be fair Bush's plan raises the level where you pay no taxes higher then Gores does. So knowing the facts I assume you will be voting for Bush, eh?
OK, time for the hard question. Since you relly on lodic and/or reasoon in your posts I will assume you would stipulate those are useful. Now, what evidence proves that logic is true? What have your senses shown you about that?
If you will stipulate logic as an axiom how do you deal with Godel's incompleateness therom, that states there are thing that true for a given system of axiomss that cannot be proven true. If they cannot be proven they surly cannot be observed. So are you missing out on truth?
While this is certionly a feature I would like to see in a future version of Gnapster of Gnutella, this is not what Curry was suggesting. He wants to see a way you can define the "format" of your player. For example I could say I want ballad => hard rock => new => oldie => comedy, my player loads this format file and searches my catouge of music randomly filling in what I want. I can also define rules like: No madona ever, or every 10 song is a NIN song, etc. This would be very cool. What you would need is metatags in each song that state type, genre, etc. And a player that could load your format list and apply it.
Curry's idea is very cool. I would love to see a XMMS plug-in that could do this.
We are already sending money to schools. The question is which school we give it to.
So, why not have school vouchers? If a school can't preform why keep it? The school district provides busses and $x for each kid. Parents choose schools. The Washington Post has a very good article on the subject a few weeks back. It argues that part of the problem is teachers who are not teaching. However the school board cannot fire these teachers because of the union. If we hold monopolies are bad, shouldn't schools systems and teachers be included in the list we don't like.
A teacher with a BA is guaranteed $74,000 after seven years, in one school district in MI. This figure is independent of skill or progress of the students. Name me one other job, independent of skill were you can make 74k a year.
If a school is not performing kids should go else were. Do we leave kids behind to help teachers?
For the record: Newton wrote more papers on obscure protestant theology then on the sciences. That is a lot of work for a person who is just hiding his beliefs.
Richard Feynman states that the majority of scientists who become atheists, only know a facade of Christianity and do not spend any serious time with the subject. He blames the facade of Christianity for the rampant atheism in today's scientific communities. It is worth noting he was an atheist.
Three basic points:
1) Any thinking scientist, who is religious, must spend some effort to understand and synthesize their religious beliefs with their scientific beliefs.
2) Atheism is the dominant belief in the scientific (geek) community.
3) So by your logic there are more religious people on slashdot then are listed here.
Yet the british history lacks the kind of mass movements that defined other cultures. No hippies, no anti-war movement. I am not saying that brits don't vote, or aren't moved by issues. Simply the mass movements. Would cristianity have taken off in the UK today? I don't think so.
If the brits were so mass movement prone why have you not defeated this bill allready?
I have recently been working through Eric Hoffer's book The True Believers. In it he makes an interesting point. He suggests that the length of time the british have lived under a democracy has insulated them from mass political movements. maybe that explains why they have not been able to block this bill.
I am not worried that I will be scanned. I am not a brit and not that important. I am scared however, that someone who the government wants to scan will be.

FIRST is a project started by Dean Kamon (a super cool inventor.) Each year, teams of engineers, students and other interested parties get togethor for a intense six week period. They design, build, and test a robot. Last year they were 30" by 36" by 5'.
That is using small snipits of a book very unfairly. Some parts of what is written in the bible are metaphors. We all learned about them in english class. For example With faith you can move mountains. In this sentance the phrase "move mountains" is a symbol for acomplishing great things. Just look at the story of the con man for an example of that. He had faith he could do something big and he did.
While I have seen people peack in tounges and sometimes found out they are really an existing language, the majority of the passage you quoted is again using sybolic language, describing all of the great things his followers would do. It is sometimes used in heritcal cults, though I agree with you, there is no way I am going to first cyanide.
Godel's uncertainty therom proved that there are things that are absolutly true that are unprovable. Knowing this your insistance on proof will ultimatly fail at explaining everything, that has been proven.
As a programmer whoes first language was VB I can tell you this much, once you fall into the VB trap it is hard to get you head around anything else. I am learning Python at the moment and it took me about a week to forget my VB bias. The minute I did all my programs got a lot better. Even the few I still had to write in VB.

This is because it has multiple layers of microcode providing many layers of abstraction. For example, they can upgrade from 32 to 64 bit processors with no problems.
AS/400 is probably the worst marketed product at IBM. For transaction processing it can't be beat.
Still if you like cool IBM hardware go check out the AS/400. You can literally upgrade from a 32 bit to a 64 bit processor and guarantee no bugs. The AS/400 suffers from some of the worst marketing by IBM around, but it is still cool as hell. Nate Custer

Thanks.
If you need ACID use an AS/400

It is more stable than Oracle, the fastest thing for transaction processing, and more secure then any *BSD. It scales very well. For example when IBM switched from 32 bit to 64 bit processors nobody outside of IBM new till they annouced it, not a single app was broke. What's the down side?

You can allways test the type of the variable, or force the value to a specific type. Dynamic typing is not as big of an issue as you might think.

I was on a team last year, it was great fun.
If you want to find a team go to these discussion boards. They can point you to a close team.
FIRST is activly working to get kids interested in technology and needs all the help it can get.
Add Dean Kamon . We all know about the failings of our school system in technical education. He is a person who is doing something about it. I think he would be a great interview.

And again:
but it's really a good read I'm after
It apears he asking for books, not just websites. So ripping on him for not using a search engine is a moot point.
