The US currently has enough warheads to destroy the world several hundred times over.
[citation needed]. Seriously, I've never seen a quote as high as 10 for US and former Soviet Russia. Your "several hundred times over" number for the US alone smells like ass (which implies you pulled it from yours).
Often corporate taxes don't apply to capital gains. Lets say I bought a house 10 years ago for $150k. Today I sell it for $200k. I had capital gains of $50k, which I would have to report and be taxed on. That $50k has never encountered corporate taxes. Now, the other $150k, that gets alot more complicated...
Seriously I feel as though all these people saying "corporate taxes are already applied to capital gains!" have never actually done business taxes.
He said capital gains, you're thinking of dividends. Two different things. One is, I own Stock A, and stock A distributes some percentage of it's profits to stockholders. The other is I buy stock B for $1, sell it for $2, and have "capital gains" of $1. Similar to the difference between investing in real estate to rent, and investing in real estate to sell.
Actually, most situations where a child can live with their parents post-education would not be compatible with a rental arrangement. And they may be receiving other services (yard work, he may bring in groceries etc). If anything, the cost to the parents is incurred by forcing them to maintain a larger house (Can't downsize, etc). If they don't want to move to a smaller space, and the room he is sleeping in would have otherwise been unoccupied, their cost may very well be on the order of a few $100/month.
In summary, you can easily rent out a basement suite, no so easily a bedroom across the hall from yours.
See, on the other hand, excessive hyperbole is not exactly living in the real world. I refer to your use of the words "unprecedented extinction event." The only people who think that kind of extinction event is unprecedented believe the world is only 6000 years old.

And they still arrest people without a warrant. My brother was illegally arrested last month over an overdue parking ticket (court told him they had no right to arrest him, and he has no legal right to retaliate)
Perhaps you should be more clear. The losing is not in the result of the case, the losing is in having to go to court because somebody disagrees with you.
But the real problem is the Human Rights Tribunal. Accuser is given a lawyer, and the accused is told they don't need one. Go figure.
Actually yes, because it denies Canadians a right to free speech. Otherwise it largely just codified the status quo.
Believing something is right and free just because it says "Rights and Freedoms" in the title is the kind of thinking that gets so many republicans elected in the states.
I largely agree with your post as it describes the situation today, but I think it ignores the fact that Intel & AMD have OpenCL pipelines on their consumer parts now, and they seem to be hell bent on bundling those features into the server market. At which point: if all you need is some GPGPU, why would you pay anything for a graphics card?
Yes, but then under current tax laws this $383 million paycheck is only taxable at %15. I'd agree with you, if capital gains tax weren't so fundamentally broken.
Mod parent up. I read the summary and thought "I've never had USPS or UPS notify me of an eta in advance." Seriously wish they would, then I wouldn't need these silly scripts that poll the tracking websites looking for changes.

Most tariffs (tax on imports) have been very effective. Another example would be road tolls.
Actually, if your goal is to reduce consumption, it would be difficult to find a tax that is ineffective.

Lord, with a capital L, is used in Enlish translations to represent a different synonym of God/Yahweh etc used in the Hebrew texts.

Radio output from the tower at 200 feet is nothing compared to a cell phone two inches from your brain. Inverse square law, QED.
Oh, absolutely. However, suspend/resume time on the OS totally blows on my three machines.
Yeah, I love Linux, but its suspend time is worse than windows 7 boot.
I note a sibling brought up "voice actions" that arrived in 2.3, I'm on 2.2 so I'm not familiar with that tech.
Works fine as a speech to text engine, but doesn't infer what you want done from what you said.
The real issue with it is how much of a dork you look like talking to your phone.
Since he just used the 'code' tag, technically you are looking at your font.

Read what he said about chained boot for a cluster. He said with intel, the cluster had to be booted *one at a time*, which is obviously a problem.
Don't start reading in the middle, you idiot.

Don't have to grab a video card as well, unless you needed to do so for the Intel system.
Intel's HD Graphics are still a joke (my amd netbook, 1.6GHz dual core, beats an i5 in graphics, ffs)
Who gives a shit about the intention of a government? All that matters is what it DOES.

Your CPU: 2.8GHz single core
Their CPU: 3.4GHz dual core
For the extra seven bucks, loss of a dvd drive, their computer's performance beats the pants off yours.

Gah! Stupid - missed the "(or, tax the amount that would have been basis as ordinary income)" in brackets. Completely agree with you.

Tried in bing, yahoo. Got similar results. Not sure how "As bad as competitors for obscure use case" means they are losing their edge.
