You miss the point the parent poster is making. If, as was suggested by GPP, tax is a flat rate on gross income, what constitutes a cost doesn't matter.
PP was making the point that if your business operates on smaller margins than the flat rate, it will not be able to pay its taxes, much less the shareholders.
a 2011 study calculated that growing meat in labs would cut down on the land required to produce steaks, sausages and bacon by 99 per cent and reduce the associated need for water by 90 per cent. What's more, it found that a pound of lab-created meat would produce much less polluting greenhouse-gas emissions than is produced by cows and pigs, even poultry.
Who to believe? An AC on Slashdot or a proper scientific study?
Yes. In fact, it might be argued that the actual safety issues are reducing or set to reduce because of the growing awareness and measures like this panic button thing.
Clarification: "it" refers to the Slashdot software, not beer, your post or Slashdot the organisation.
Clarification on the clarification: The fact that the clarification states that "it" refers to the software only is not meant to imply that the other things listed are definitely not shit.
The default tools that come with OSX or Xcode really only exist as an iOS development support system and can be ignored.
Yes, and I do. However, if you use the git integration of Xcode itself, it is hard coded to use the built in to Xcode version of git i.e. the vulnerable one.
Of course, nobody in their right mind uses the Xcode source control because it is rubbish.
If you take the mean intelligence of the population (the mean being the usual definition of average), it is almost certain that nobody has the mean intelligence. The mean is a point on the real number line and the probability that any one person has exactly the mean intelligence is effectively zero, so the population will all be on one side of the mean or the other and the proportion will depend on the distribution.
If you take the median intelligence, as long as there is an odd number of people, your argument will work, although, with seven billion people, the number on each side will be so close to 50%, you might as well call it 50%.
Detergents are the opposite of sun cream: most people use more than they need.
Watering it down in the dispensers so that people waste less of it does not seem unreasonable to me, especially as detergent in the water has an environmental cost.
Back in the olden days people never used to wash their hands and they still had a pretty good chance of making it to 40 as long as they survived the first couple of years.

Almost all cellphones are made in Asia, that includes the Apple ones.
Why blame your inadequacy in your relationship on the TV show though?
Try looking up the word "overhang".

We the people grant you property rights and you use them to stop me from taking your car. No fair!

You don't need the second line. MacPorts automatically adds the correct path to your profile to make it override the built in tools.
Because it is shit.

Changing the path with launchctl is not one of them.

The aircraft was on approach. It probably wasn't doing 500mph.
However, bird strikes definitely do happen during take off and landing, so going at only 100mph or so, doesn't really help.
Chrome doesn't display ads. So, no, advertisers are not the customers of Google Chrome.
Products are for the customers, not the developers.
In the case of Google Chrome, who are the customers? I've been using it since it first became stable but I don't recall ever paying a penny for it.

You're being melodramatic.

You know you are supposed to rinse after you finished applying the soap?
