If the Woz is paying 50% in taxes, he's doing his finances wrong
It depends on how he's calculating the 50% claim. There's state and local income taxes. Local property taxes. State and local sales taxes. All that could easily add up to 50%, especially if his primary residence is in a high tax locality like California or New York. Also, he may be aware of how corporate income taxes are baked into the prices of all good and services; that pushes pretty much everyone's income to well over 50% going towards taxes.
1.147 USD.. 2.867 USD. No idea how good those are compared to the USA.
The ones in US Costcos are about that price, which if you notice in the summary is less than half what an independent audiologist in the US charges. The Costco ones work just fine.
It'll always be "THEIR" terrorist, "OUR" (freedom fighter/martyr).
To qualify as a terrorist, one must actively strive to incite, you know, terror. Plenty of freedom fighters around the world and throughout history refrain from inciting terror among civilians.
This is an odd bone to toss out; as a libertarian he SHOULD be in favor of private charities running homeless shelters as opposed to government agency run shelters funded by taxes.
Uhh, the Panama Papers is a leak about how corrupt government officials are hiding their wealth, not about how private enterprise is mishandling what should better be public enterprises.
Sure, this sounds like a nasty bug but how did someone go about discovering it? Is this some tinfoil hat theory that setting the date to 1970 keeps the NSA from snooping your calls?
I am still stuck figuring out how they are going to wire the servers into the power grid/network infrastructure while keeping them all-the-while inside portable storage units that are being continually moved around.
It was designed by 20-something architects. They probably think that since networking is wireless these days, nothing needs to do anything special to connect the module once it's lifted up to its spot.
Since its propulsion source would be a laser somewhere in our solar system I am not sure that's feasible.
But neither stopping nor re-accellerating is required, just need to get back here close enough that the transmission distance is reasonable: 1. Go to other star at high speed 2. Slingshot around other star (or suitable local gas giant) for return trip 3. Transmit observations to Earth while whistling through Sol system
You're kidding, right? There are plenty of women only businesses. Isn't there even a chain of gyms called Curves? That's women only, but I don't think too many women get molested at gyms.
I have practical and fool-proof system that requires no electricity or internet connection to operate.
I can sell it to you for about $5 per TSA agent. Actual cost to me is $0. Just tell me where you want me to ship this jar of pennies.
You're as bad at math as whoever at TSA signed this contract. Pennies are not zero cost; they are 1 cent each. If this isn't obvious then nothing is. And shipping something as heavy as a jar of coins is definitely non-zero.

End consumers foot the bill for all taxes at all prior layers.
That $10 switch seems alot of like some cost reduction yahoo is calling the shots and does not want to pay for the needed costs to due it right.
GDP per capita in Bangladesh is 750$US/yr. A $10 switch sounds like a wild extravagance.

Why couldn't they just capture them alive? Killing animals just to test their radioactivity strikes me as unnessecarily cruel.
It's hard to analyze a rabbit's liver and kidneys for built up radition while keeping the rabbit alive.

all I could think was how much she's pulled the wool over on everyone
Oops, I saw the same but all I could think was "she's hot!"
Format C: press any key to continue
That one's foolproof; I have yet to ever format C: because my keyboard doesn't have an any key.

Forget "rouge" WiFi networks
And then there's the eyeliner networks and the foundation networks to worry about.
75% of the participants left in less than a year
They died from heard disease?
It should be obvious that the approach speed to the remote star should allow for this.

Round trip?
Wouldn't it be even clearer there is a malfunction by displaying... nothing?
Here's the dilemma: Do we send them to Area 51, or Guantanamo Bay?
Neither; Fort Meade, Maryland.
Apparently they do. Interesting that MS's cash is triple Appl's but Appl's revenue is triple MS's. From Yahoo finance:
APPL
Revenue (ttm):234.99B
Total Cash (mrq):38.39B
MSFT
Revenue (ttm):88.08B
Total Cash (mrq):102.31B
The MS store at my local mall is usually has a crowd playing free xbox games on the giant screens.
They have more cash than imaginable

So he just happened to have a VPN and an account all ready and set to go
If you were the boss of such a firewall system wouldn't you have that all set up?
The real question here all Chinese people should be asking is, what VPN service does this guy use and how does on sign up?
