It didn't come pre-installed on all the brand name computers, even IBM's own. You couldn't order a Thinkpad with OS/2 out of the box, only with Windows.
in the fair tax book which explains the proposed system, they explain that the initial rate is designed to be revenue neutral. adjustments that you suggest are for future revisions. some degree of debt/deficit is not automatically bad. debt/deficit is degrees of bad depending on what it's spent on and what % of revenue it represents. current levels are bad but automatically precluding any would be bad in its own way.
Plenty of people think the government gives them money every month already because it does. At least in the case of the fair tax, it be for a good cause (making the tax code fair).
How about a "consumption tax" that exempted food, clothing and medical expenses? Everything else would be subject to a sales tax.
Because as soon as you have an exemption, politics will put severe pressure to add more excemptions. This is why the Fair Tax plan just gives everyone a rebate based on typical low income consumption of essentials but sales taxes everything.
You know what makes even more sense than that? Putting solar panels on fucking rooftops or on the ground.
It's a vicious circle; Have you not seen the pictures from Beijing? There isn't much solar energy getting through the existing smog for panels to cut down on the coal power to cut down on the smog....
Make the attackers go through the school district's purchase order approval process to get their money. The computers will be restored in a few months with no payout.
A billion dollar program to tell screeners that the Arab guy or black guy who is shaking like a leaf, mumbling "allah-ackbar" over-and-over under his breath, and wants to check a huge bag should maybe be singled out for additional screening.
This is why the ACLU is involved. To imply Arab guys mumbling "allah-ackbar" with one way tickets might need extra screening is clearly just racism.
What a coincidence. I didn't believe the SWAT team would show up if I told them my neighbor's holding seven schoolgirls at gunpoint, so I ran a test too.
I believe you failed the test when your English teacher taught you proper use of apostrophes.
Who do all these people keep insisting that my actions have to have consequences
Yes indeed, and never mind the being held 72 hours. This is now in his medical records that he's suicidal. For the rest of his life he's going to be denied certain pain killers if he breaks a leg, held for additional time if he does anything that can be remotely identified as suicidal, etc. It might be bad enough he'll eventually kill himself.
I can't help feel that its the established players who want to kill any newcoming competitionp>
It's 100% a case of this but as with Napster, Uber has gone about their innovation by attacking from the outside and are therefore doomed. In a few years, a smarter player will attack from the inside and be the long run success.
Taking this cloak-and-dagger approach implies that if anyone at Cisco knows who's receiving the hardware, then it is at risk, meaning that Cisco is compromised and knows it.
It also implies that the real problem is at UPS/FedEx/DHL? I'd like to know what the shippers have to say about these interceptions.
Hidden taxes like corporate income tax really abuse the low income population. Alas, demagogues find it easier to pretend otherwise for personal political gain.
The typical libertarian who wants complete deregulation of *everything*
No, you've described an absolutist Libertarian. This is like saying the typical Socialist wants no privately owned possessions. The typical libertarian wants a lot less regulation than most developed countries have taken on.
For pretty much all other cases, instead, you want to bounce the flash off a large surface, to diffuse the light
But not just any "large surface" will do. It's always amusing to see someone with a fancy camera with the flash pointed straight upward towards a vaulted, black ceiling.
A bounty? No. Just give the money as grants to academic research labs applying to do a search for new antibiotics.
Bounties are quite effective compared to long term grants just because of human nature. Which gets quicker results: "Hello, research foundation, we'd like to give you a nice annual salary as long as you present annual reports on how well you're progressing" Or: "Here's a whopping pile of cash that's all yours as soon as you come up with the goods."
3) Girls are unfairly subject to society-specific, irrational concepts like having to look a certain way or behave in more rigid patterns. She does not have to follow those patterns unless she wants to.
3a) When women travel outside North America and Western Europe, the latter part of this is less applicable to various degrees. Indeed, in some parts of the world, not adhering strictly to expected female behaviour can be fatal.

Taxing "profit" ? Surely you jest...

Yes, obviously. My post was mainly to inject some mildly ironic humor.

"SCIgen uses a "context-free grammar" to create word salad that looks like reasonable text from a distance"
This is great for students who have lazy professors. Write a good introduction on page 1, a good conclusion on page 52, and use SCIgen on pages 2-51.
The government should fund a program to encourage more girls to choose airline pilot as a career.
I thought they were desperately needed as computer programmers.

Congrats, you win the Internet Reductio ad Absurdum prize for at least several weeks with that one.
I use the stylus like a little pen. But my handwriting is still awful.

Your own subject title refers to 8.1 while TFA is about 10.
There's no way anyone who believes Mars One is for real can have a wisdom over 5.

In space, weight's analogue is called mass, and it does matter.
