Not arguing against anonymous speach. Just saying that Thomas Paine is a terrible example. It is argueing we should protect the anonymous speach of the Taliban so they can make war with our goverment. It makes no common sense.
Thomas Paine's papers were treason against the British Crown. They would be considered treason today by any sane goverment. The fact that the revolution was justified doesn't make them more legal. They are not a good argument for first amendment rights.

The economy that ended with Clintons last term was the result of the revolution with computing and the internet. It was a once a lifetime event that won't likely repeat itself while we are still alive. It had vey little to do with the tax rate during the period but rather basic research done with tax dollars from the 40's to the 90's. That period has messed with everyones expectations about growth of the economy. This resulted in us spending more money than we took in. The USA is like a man who buys a house with the expectation of getting a large promotion every year.

It is not just wishfull thinking. A 0% tax would take in no revenue. So would a 100% tax. (At 100% no one would work.) So the ideal tax from a revenue standpoint is somewhere inbetween. This maximum tax revenue rate would change daily based on the market and the tax rates of competeting goverements. My guess is that raising rates would bring in more revenue at this point. But that is a guess based on not much.
Their fault for sitting at the bottom of a gravity well with no protection against space gravel. Dumb aliens like that will be taken out long before they invent intersteller travel.
Meh, In the long run as long as they are on an outward trajectory we will never run into them. Even in system they could be save if their trajectory puts them into a gravity well. Just avoid placing them in orbit and they will be fine.
Don't most people pretending to be female on twitter fill their tweets with stereotypical female language? This would only catch pretenders who are really lazy and incompatent.
Radiation is just a scary word for light. Lightbulbs cause radiation. Heat causes radiation. Your own body emits radiation. Cancer is only caused by radiation that is at wavelengths that can damage DNA.
If there are only 5 then why did it take so long to find this rock? Is it becaue the sun is between us an it? If so then there could be some real intersting stuff at that lagrange point.
It helps lawyers. It will insure that contracts are written that hand over rights. They won't do these deals over drinks next time. Although honestly, I don't know why lucas didn't just sell this guy a reasonable license.
The idea is that eventaully we will want a station in Geo synchronous orbit and that its cheaper to move this station from LEO to GSO than luanching parts up from earth. Not sure if this is true though. You would still have to launch the fuel up from Earth. Then you would have to use energy to match the fuel vehicles orbit with the station. Doing this would kill momentum. Then there is the risk energy will be cheaper when we eventually want the GSO station.
A common example is your collision insurance. It pays out to the other driver when you run a red light and cause an accident. Or pull out in front of someone. These policies have limits though. Most don't pay out if your drunk.
The fact that these hackers were able to hack other companies and governments will help Sony.
Because its liability insurance. Liability insurance pays out when your sued or lose a lawsuit. Its specifically there for when you do something illegal or negligent. It doesn't protect against anything else.
Here is the thing though. Zurich sold them a policy. It was up to Zurich to identify risks such as bad security and price the insurance correctly. The whole point of liability insurance is for problems that you yourself are liable for. No one needs this insurance if they don't ever do anything wrong.
The whole risk=reward philosophy is just a way for people who are comfortable and have never needed to take any risks to push others to do so, so they can leech off them. Tell people that something will make them a man and they'll run into the middle of a battlefield.
A society's advance is measured by risk reduction, so stuff can be achieved without a large proportion of people being harmed in the process.
A society's advance is measured by many things. One thing you could measure it by is trust. I trust I won't be mugged when I walk down certian streets. I trust that the policy won't ask for a bribe when I call them. I trust the credit card company doesn't skim money off my account. Because of this trust I work in a specialized field. Because of this trust I rely on others for food and shelter. Risk Reduction at the expense of trust leads to waist and lost oppurtunity. I can reduce risk by never leaving my house, by eating only food that I personally prepared, and by buying gold instead of stock. But these behaviors don't advance society.
You don't get it. The point is that registering copyright only worked in the past because publishing was centralized with publishers. Now anyone can publish a newspaper, a book, or a movie. Registering doesn't scale to billions of people. In your post you have registering being automatic. What is the point of automatic registration over automatic copyright? What does society gain from it? You get all the same problems but with extra cost.
A flying car is not a car that also flies. A flying car is a replacement for the car that flies. The same idea was used for the horseless carriage. The horseless carriage was a replacement for the horse and buggy that didn't use a horse. Trains and boats existed before the invention of the automobile. They didn't use horses and they transported people around. But they were not a replacement for the horse and buggy. A flying car that drives around on roads misses the entire point. To be a replacement for an automobile it must be cheap. It must provide for a persons day to day travel.

There is no such thing as nothingness,

Deep space probes have nothing to do with useful. It literally probing nothingness.

Ahh read the article. The rock isn't at the lagrange point but rather orbits the lagrange point.
If there are only 5 then why did it take so long to find this rock? Is it becaue the sun is between us an it? If so then there could be some real intersting stuff at that lagrange point.

If this was true then people behaving oddly deliberately would be shunned, not payed huge sums of money to entertain us.
We do both.
I really impossible to arm chair lawyer this without the contracts.

Flying cars on roads is a bit of a contradiction. A flying car isn't a car that also flies. Its a replacement for the automobile that flies.
These planes won't be replacing automobiles at that price.
I cannot view videos at work either. Its not a technical problem. My browser is totally functional. Its not socially acceptible to play videos here.
