Or do we tend to have to rely, in the future, on a public/independent association/organization that will certify the results/algorithms are not rigged?
As surprising as it can be, I think we tend to the latter.
Are you saying that Google needs oversight?
I got an idea, we can hand that off to Congress. Nothing they touch ever gets financial/political manipulation. </sarcasm>
Seriously, I think Google does a pretty good job at in context searches. One time when I was setting up a new server and doing a lot of searches on IPSEC, however, it kept giving me IPSEC results even though I had moved on to IPSET. Sort of frustrating.
I think once your kids hit their late teens, they're close enough to being adults (if not outright adults) that the time when you're close personal involvement could have changed anything is long past.
That depends. Is it just now that you're trying to get involved OR have you always been involved and just continuing you're good parenting?
I asked my son and I had spoken incorrectly. He makes $2.13 an hour and if tips don't bring the the rate up to minimum wage the employer makes up the difference.
Yes, we have a minimum wage. However, the server has to report enough tips to augment their $2.32 wage so that it meets the minimum wage. A classic perversion of what a tip is supposed to be. This shifts costs from the company to the customer with the worker getting screwed in the middle.
Currently an good tip is 15-18% of the total bill. I've seen it rise over the years. And you can be sure that as the 'good percentage' goes up, the employee's hourly wage will be adjusted so that they make at or just over minimum wage.
We'll be saying the same thing in 20 years about the quarter.
Instead, why don't we stop printing more money which devalues the penny, nickel, dime, etc. Inflation is the hidden tax that eats, not only into your income, but also into your savings. And, guess what, congress doesn't take the heat for increasing taxes.
The way to do this in the U.S. would be as follows:
Impose a 7% national sales tax, payable to the federal government. At the same time, prohibit states and localities from collecting their own sales taxes. The result would be largely revenue-neutral, since the total of state and local sales taxes averages about 7% already.
Have the federal government distribute this money on a regular basis to states (6%) and localities (1%), based on some weighted formula that takes into account population, economic activity, or both.
Wow, this is so anti-republic. I can just see it now:
"I'm sorry state XX but you don't mandate the federal y policy so no tax dollars for you.
Yeah, the federal government needs another goad to whip the states into conformance.
This whole thing America has with having to manually add taxes and tips at restaurants is a real head-shaker for many Europeans.
I have a feeling it started out this way in America but when the employers realized that if you're getting all those tips then I don't have to pay you minimum wage. My son works as a server at a nice restaurant and makes $2.32 an hour plus tips. He even has to 'tip out' (giving 10% of his tips to the hostess).
What started out as a tip for good service is now part of their wages.
Also, the mainframes in those days were much bigger iron than the one pictured in the article. You could fit five z9's into the space of a single s/370
Your graph shows the tax cuts are $300 billion (2%) of a $1.4 trillion deficit. And your graph covers all people not just the rich. Try reading this.
From TFA:
Making the tax cuts permanent for all taxpayers, regardless of income, would increase the national debt $3.3 trillion over the next 10 years.
Limiting the extension to individuals making less than $200,000 and married couples earning less than $250,000 would increase the debt about $2.2 trillion in the next decade.
Two thirds of the tax break goes to the non-rich. How anyone could call it 'tax breaks for the wealthy' is beyond me. If you only gave the tax break to the non-rich there would be an additional $1.1 trillion revenue dollars over the next decade. This $110 billion per year pales compared to our deficit just like I suggested in my post.
Didn't say Obama hates himself; and this one is not really hate. But it's pitting one group against another. And that's definitely going on.
I'm no financial guru but I do see where interest and dividends are taxed twice. Much the way when taxes are added to a pack of cigarettes and then you pay sales tax on the total price when you purchase them. Not really fair. It's a sin tax. Why does this go on? Well the non-smokers think it's ok since it doesn't affect them. Same way with the 'tanning tax'. Pit one group against another.
If I understand correctly, that extra revenue from 'taxing the Rich' won't even make a tiny dent in our deficit. If that is true then it really illustrates what an empty "class warfare" argument this is. It's just a smoke screen to hide the failings of congress and the president to cut expenses and balance the budget. BTW, I think it would be better to cut out the loopholes and simplify the tax code.
Anyway, it's all about control and manipulation. Do you agree?
Oh, and thanks for a well though out, no name calling post.
It gives me hope that even congressmen have to live by the rules and laws that the laymen have to. If the White House came out against Rand's "detainment" (he was just turned away, not detained), you'd complain that Obama just believes that he and the rest of the lawmakers believe they are above the law
Might want to check your facts. You need to watch the whole video to realize:
1) Rand Paul WAS detained for 1 1/2 hours
2) He didn't tell them he was a Senator. After awhile they did figure it out.
You can unite a lot of different peoples with hate. Hate the Jews (Hitler), hate the Commies (McCarthy), hate the Rich (currently Obama), hate the Muslims (911 and the Patriot Act), etc. Many of those united people won't like what is happening but "It doesn't really hurt me so I'll keep my mouth shut". But if you don't oppose it, your liberties die one-by-one.
It's all a power grab. The desire for one person or group of people to control other groups.
First, let me thank you, jlebar, and the other Firefox developers for all the work you do on FF. I use it with FireBug to develop web pages and they are invaluable tools that help me do my work.
It is because we love FF that we are complaining. If I didn't care about FF, I wouldn't even bother complaining. I would just move on.
I never understood the reason for removing the status line. I've heard the reasoning that it saves vertical space for the laptop/tablet/smartphone users. However, this reasoning really doesn't hold water since all along a user could easily disable it. I, for one, constantly use the status bar and am alarmed by the decision to remove it. Someone has decided for me that I don't need it.
I've seen posts here on Slashdot from one user that thinks the desktop is now a dinosaur and will eventually die off. This is a ludicrous idea that I fear the the FF developers are buying into. I have 19 FF windows open spread over two 24 inch monitors which allows me to view documentation as well as the web page I am currently developing. I also have 7 Xshell widows open to monitor a few servers. Can't see all this happening on a tablet let alone a smartphone.
To wrap this up, I hope this provides some insight to the frustration that I, and others, are experiencing.
PS. I wouldn't even begin to know what to put in a bug report about the memory problems. Seems like someone in the FF organization should be able to leave FF open two or three days and use it extensively to re-create the problem. Watch a few Netflix movies, configure Zabbix, and leave the @#$% Slashdot main page open that refreshes itself despite my profile indicating not to. FF will slow to an unbearable crawl. Windows XP Pro 64-bit with 8 GB RAM.
Changing it back might be foolish, but it'd be nice if we could at least try to stop the change that is still occuring.
No worry. I can fix this; just let me get logged in.

IPv6 addresses don't have to be static. If it happens that an ISP implements static IPv6 addresses but dynamic IPv4 addresses, that's your ISP's choice, not a problem with IPv6.
Doesn't surprise me. They need a way to keep pulling that extra $20 bill out of my wallet every month. Oh, you want a static IP address...
Something like 70% of copper thieves have been convicted of theft once before. If there was a death penalty for thieves - and really, why not for all felonies? - this problem would quickly end.
Good idea. That would stop the file sharing problem, too!

Isn't this a matter or SEO? Get positive links to your site?
And on the flip side, don't these other sites, the ones that have info about the disaster, deserve their place in the search listing?
This sounds like: "Please adjust the rules in my favor"
