You should not have strict control over who sees your work if you publish it.
Searching books costs you nothing (even in opportunity cost)
each copyright holder implementing their own search is useless (the sum is more than the parts).
The only authors I can see concerned are either plagiarists, embarrassed by their work, or control freaks.
Unless your argument is that your profit scheme for your books was to license them for use in a gigantic book search database I don't see how this impacts motivation at all.
I've only seen them in Gas or Oil. Of course if you use a lot of freestanding radiators too, then there is electric heat (I decided heating the house to 63, and then using radiators where I am is the most effective way to heat my house (cost wise), but I could be wrong).
Electric resistance heat is definitely the most expensive, but I guess in apartments it can make sense.
When people say they used to be able to repair anything on their car with a wrench and a hammer, they're not looking at the full picture
So true. I here this from older types, how they could save money and repair older cars themselves.
Of course I have gone 80k with no real repairs on my car (breaks/oil). Considering 100k used be a decent milestone on a car, I imagine I'm running far smoother than historically (I did have some warranty repairs in the first 30k, currently at 110k).
I much happier with my car that does not need repairs (and it's an American economy car, so presumably sub-par), than a car I can easily repair myself.
Progress that was deemed dangerous, with much of it destroyed after the war.
It was the treatment after the war that is being apologized for (haven't read the article, only summary), simultaneous to England's destruction of much of said progress.
A conspiracy theorist would say that progress was the specific reason for the treatment.
probably has to do with the diameter of whats being spun, magnetic readers vs lasers, and probably the ability to super lubes the parts in a 100% sealed drive.
I bet somehow it means glossy and impossible to view.
That mentality has already taken over in laptops for some reason. It looks great on display with controlled lighting, buy god aweful when trying to use next to an actual window.
Well the first flat screens I saw (plasma displays in the 30ish inch range for $18,000) were for advertising. The first widespread use of projectors I saw were for marketing presentations.
These advertising driven uses did bring the price down.
Do you really think it is conceivable for one adult to manage 100 children?
I know teachers aren't supposed to be baby sitters, but in reality they have to be to a point (though I'm sure you were a perfect angel as a child, so 100 of you would have been no problem at all).
Do you think manufacturers can usually track that info about their users?
That, on the face of it, sounds unlikely.
I mean, I don't expect HTC to track me when I use my G1 (google on the other hand almost certainly does, but can be easily disabled, by turning off the location tracking)
I think I was pretty clear that shrinking government was a solution too.
Considering we have had only a few years with a balanced budget in the last few decades I think it is fair to say the taxes are not enough. Of course there is a sweet spot somewhere in taxes vs government revenue, but I don't think it necessarily explicit that we are too high to hit said sweet spot (the sweet spot is also not the ideal tax amount, the minimum to over time cover costs is).
I just think saying we are already over-taxed is a hard statement to make, as the debt has essentially been increasing constantly over time.
We have not been heavily taxed enough unfortunately (look at the deficit).
I'm sure if we were taxed enough to actually generally cover expenses we would have a lot less government.
tax and spenders have been replaced with borrow and spenders (on both sides), and we are left with a huge shortfall in enough taxing (or huge overspending)
Just as now, nobody pays taxes on their first few thousand of income, nobody would pay taxes on their first few thousand of spending.
And yes, all government spending should be carefully considered, as it is taking money at gun-point, but my point was simply that sales/VAT is not necessarily regressive, or flat. It is quite easy to make it a progressive tax too, if that is what people want.
it's rather simple to turn VAT or Sales tax into a progressive tax.
2 ways to do it: 1) don't tax necessities. As poorer people spend more money on necessities as a percentage 2) right everybody a check as a rebate for the first x thousands of dollars spent (maybe set it at 1.5 x poverty line) this causes it to even be a negative tax for the poorest of the population, and can stimulate minor entrepreneurialism.
There is no reason a sales/VAT tax needs to be regressive.
We need to tax the bad (over-spending/under-saving) and not the good (working and earning).
This is not true around the world (Germany for example could arguably be blamed for over-saving), but the US desperately needs to tax consumption rather than production.

I'm willing to bet the wheels on pavement are enough of a sound for someone who is constantly using hearing to find out what is going on around them.
I think it's the people that don't notice sound unless they are being careless, and it is a loud one that we are trying to protect with this law.
Actually it is probably the insurance companies that would be paying for their medical care that are most likely the gain.
Yes,

Actually, they were set aside for progress.

Do you commonly switch between more and fewer than 16 cores?
funny, it looks pretty clearly an argument to have a public option, comparing it to things that most would approve of.

Actually,
Many Loki games are easier (and cheaper) to get the Windows version running under wine, than the Linux version native.
This is from experience, as I own a few Loki games, and can't get any to work at this point.
I wouldn't say it really directly competes with something like this:

Didn't they have a lot to do with upstart too?
I mean that has to count for something as others are starting to use it.
And I would think pulling everything together into a cohesive package has some value too, but maybe it doesn't.
I am still willing to bet children get exponentially worse (more naughty) with group size.
I could be wrong, but I think 4 25 student classes is easier to manage than 1 100 student one, with 4 adults.
Do you really think it is conceivable for one adult to manage 100 children?

I refuse to learn any of them.
Well college/collage perhaps.
Probably because eating out is not generally considered a cost of living, and more an entertainment expense to most people.
We have not been heavily taxed enough unfortunately (look at the deficit).
I'm sure if we were taxed enough to actually generally cover expenses we would have a lot less government.

And the truly fat-cats (living off of capitol gains rather than income) all of the sudden begin paying real taxes.
Additionally see my other post as to how a sales/VAT tax can be made progressive.

We need a VAT in the US.

I'm pretty sure google treats punctuation as a space and puts quotes around the adjacent words.
It can make searching for certain things very difficult.
