Hmm. So what if the state makes a constitutional amendment limiting the amount of federal taxes? Something like "No more than X% of any persons income may be taken as taxes by the United States Federal Government." Then the state can take the difference, paying for its own roads.
If they can't afford their own roads that way then maybe they shouldn't have as many; it's certainly not fair to make people from another state pay for them.
I'd say you should have two versions of the software, like many high end developers do. One should be the "professional" full blown thing, and with the purchase price would come support, patches, and updates for a specified period, or indefinitely with maintenance. The other should be a stripped down "home" version which is either free or cheap. Don't put spyware in your software, it just sucks and makes people hate you.
You are relying on language to communicate the idea. If there are an infinite number of linguistic societies in the universe, then there is at least one that writes the value of 2 as "4" and the value of 4 as "2". To them, "4+4=2" would be true, and "2+2=4" would be false.
If your memories are programmed, you may truly believe that you just ate an apple, when in fact you haven't. The outside observer would likely disagree with you.
I would say it's actually an assertion, a matter of definition. How do you define "2"? It's one more than "1". It's just like saying "1+1=X", except that we as a society get a bunch of variable declarations in grade school.
Fortunately our tech will be far more efficient than a 747. You seem to be claiming that technological development has stopped. Maybe you just fell off the train?
So it comes down to disclosure. That would mean that the Government could and should make them disclose all information they have on what they're doing, just like disclosing the ingredients in a can of ravioli. It doesn't mean that the Government gets to tell them what they can do or how to do it. Presently, the Feds may disallow a procedure because studies can't show with statistical significance that it works, or because there haven't been sufficient studies. If I am suffering severely however, I may want to go through the expense and risk of such a procedure even for the slimmest chance of it working just a little bit. If nothing else, my quality of life would be improved by having a little hope. And that would be my right to choose, not the Feds, just like it should be my choice to buy and eat the ravioli or not, despite it containing "too much" fat or salt.
The point is that they COULD claim that ambient air is a medical product because it goes in your body as a means of keeping you alive. Not that common sense would agree, but since when does common sense have anything to do with law?
In practice however, law can simply ignore the constitution, as it has many times already. In these cases the defense of the constitution rests in the hands of a few hand-picked men.

More importantly, most home refrigerators do not have nukes anymore.

Stop for just one traffic light from that speed and see what your face does to your windshield.

Subway. The delivery vehicle is a nuclear wessel.
So instead of writing a few tests per course per year, he has to write hundreds?
Then don't mod it, reply to it and make your point.

1 / 2 = 2. If I take a chunk of cheese and divide it in 2, I have two chunks of cheese.

Que graphene filters. There was a recent article on how they pass water but nothing else.

And they wonder why I won't buy Diablo III.

Nope. Oxygen intended for human respiratory consumption is regulated by the FDA.
How about growing your own food or making fully automatic firearms for yourself?
If I choose to pay you to perform such a procedure, then that it my right.
By the same interpretation, said Commerce Clause grants absolute power over everything. So why pretend the people have rights?

Insightful.
