They flew from Denver to Dallas without a problem, then were stopped in Dallas. If they can't make an exception, why were they allowed to get on the first plane?
1. Monaco offers a very nice lifestyle, and no income tax. 2. That question is a lot harder than the first one. They may have been operating on the existing infrastructure set up over years, but they have added significant value. There may be a large amount of altruism by "the rich" but it's largely a question of degree. If taxes are so high that they feel they are not being adequately reimbursed for their work, then of course they will change the situation.
So you skipped past the actual joke, and then decided to comment about the secondary joke he threw in for people who didn't get the first one. Good work!
Ok, I hadn't thought of that. One day you'll only be able to get to Google if you're on the Google network. It's a bit of a hard case, as the entrenched ISPs don't seem too interested in upgrading their networks, but we want them to stay open...
Possibly I'm just being naive, but to me that seems like it's still a good thing. If a company is willing to shell out the money to improve the network then it seems fair that their stuff will get a boost. It's only when the ISPs are deliberately slowing down their competitors, or the people who haven't paid the right kickbacks that net neutrality starts to become more important.
That's not quite how it works. Seller wants to sell for 100, buyer wants to buy for 90. Another seller comes along, who wants to sell "right now" at whatever he can get. HFT comes and offers him 91, instead of the 90 he would have otherwise made. HFT then waits from someone who wants to buy "right now" whatever the cost, and sells to him at 99, rather than the 100 it would otherwise cost. Our original buyer and seller are still holding their positions, waiting for someone to take them up, but they can't realistically make a trade, unless it's on the same terms as the HFT is offering.
Who cares about the legality of it? There are enough scrap metal merchants around who knowingly accept stolen copper, I'm sure you wouldn't have to look too hard to find one who also accepts coins.
I'm not sure about UK laws, but in Western Australia you aren't legally required to remove them. My Dad drove around with the L plates on for years after I'd learned how to drive.
I think that you and the parent both live on the same planet, but he pays more attention to what happens on it than you do. The most common form of colour blindness is difficulty in distinguishing red from green, which occurs in about 8% of men. the fact that we use red and green so extensively is a sign of laziness, and doing things the way we've always done them because it's the way we've always done them. From my experience in chemical plants, red/green signals are not often used in the control rooms so as not to cause hazardous situations when people can't tell that they've changed.
The gears inside however are still turning (unless you keep the clutch engaged long enough for them to spin down) so it's very difficult to even get it to engage. Kinda the same principle as rev matching when you change down.
I loved it when they first brought rounding in, my mother would always make sure that her total ended in a 2 or a 7 to save the 2 cents. Often to achieve that she'd buy me a chocolate bar or similar (provided it was the right price.)
I'm not sure how easy it is to reuse the alloys that are used in modern currency, but I know that when shillings used to be made from Sterling Silver, there were people who would melt them down and sell the silver.
My mother has an ongoing argument with the electricity company, who, when the bill doesn't come to an even 5c round it to the nearest 5, despite the fact that no-one pays their electricity bill with cash. This is in Australia where we've been rounding for quite some time, now.
Best comment in the thread. Thank you for making such a clear statement of the facts.
Personally I think it's atrocious that the school is even inspecting the kids lunches. I remember being told sometimes that my lunch wasn't particularly healthy and being told to go home and talk to my parents about it (my mother had given me a treat and sent pizza instead of my normal lunch), but there was never any suggestion that I wouldn't be allowed to eat it, or be given a substitute lunch.
Most of what I've read about uses techniques similar to those we use to catch bullets on Earth. Ever been to a firing range? Those sandbags at the back do a great job of catching all the bullets, we just need to launch enough sandbags up there to catch them all.
(I've oversimplified a little there, but that's the basic theory.)

I got one a month or so ago, and he didn't even cup my balls. I was so disappointed.
There's this thing called a "bong." It's good shit, man.
Belize is part of the first world. The British had troops stationed there throughout the cold war.
Also, I've been reliably informed that Belize is a very nice place to visit, lots of good history, they speak English and they accept US currency.

Just to clarify, what would constitute "non-violent protest" to you, yet not constitute "harassment"?

He probably doesn't want a penis-shaped basement.

Hey, I'm not dissing finding out more about how the brain works....
Really? After reading your other two posts it sounds an awful lot like you are.
Monsanto spent time and money to develop those strains, and were then paid handsomely by the farmers who bought it from them.

I thought that Bitcoin must have ceased operating when there stopped being a slashdot story about them every day.
This requires, among other things, a ham radio license.
I guess he's working on those other things...
Yeah, the circle-pits at speed metal shows can get really vicious.
