How do I delete this new attack from HTC? If I can't just delete it, but instead I have to root the phone and install an Android OS not from HTC or my carrier, where is the complete list of what I'll lose when I do so? And instructions for doing it?
And where's the NY attorney general phone#, so I can report this hellish violation of any contract I had with HTC, and general privacy invasion?
R&D is usually valuable mostly for what it rules out. SpaceX doesn't have to learn what not to do, and can concentrate on redoing what worked, and trying what's left as yet untried.
You do know that the 1980s were 30 years ago, right? In fact, since the Shuttle R&D started in the 1970s (and of course earlier, using prior designs as departure), it's over 30 years. You do realize that all NASA spaceflight is R&D work, right? People at SpaceX surely know that.
How did it match the money poured into it? Even ignoring the tremendous return on investment from NASA budgets, anyone honest at SpaceX would tell you the new private industry owes a vast debt to NASA's programmes. That it can repay naturally in taxes from its profitable operations.
I am glad Americans invested in the Space Shuttle programme that gave, among so many other benefits, the basic R&D into reusable space vehicles and launch systems for them, to SpaceX, the rest of the growing private space industry, and to the world in general.
I look forward to SpaceX and its competitors paying the taxes that will repay that investment, even as they make good profits without having had to take the risks or pay the costs of those decades of R&D on their own.
No, it can't sell the bonds, but it collects the interest on them as they mature. Thereby investing SS funds in the safest investment available, especially over the long times that represent a career saving for retirement.
That is not as if you borrowed the money from your 401K. The loan (from SS to Treasury) is not to "itself", because without that loan the Treasury wouldn't have that money. Treasury and SS are different, since Treasury doesn't carry any savings, and simply because they are independent of each other. Since SS isn't spending it on anything between when it collects it and when it repays it, that money is better off earning safe interest. And the country is better off investing it in activities - when those activities are worth spending on.
Even borrowing from your 401K has real economic value. Yes, you have to put the dollar back, with interest. But you can spend that dollar you took out on other things. If you're smart, you spend it on things that increase in value, though just the opportunity to exceed the maximum annual input by adding the interest is a good deal for some people, depending on their personal economic structure (the relative value of their 401K portfolio). All loans require you to put a dollar back in before you take another dollar out, once you've reached the limit of that credit line. You're saying that no loan has any economic value because you have to pay it back. That is false.
The "raiding" isn't "raiding", because the money is always repaid with interest. The SS fund was indeed fully borrowed from by Reagan/Bush/Clinton, but that doesn't mean the money isn't there. Every year more is returned by the bonds maturing than is drawn off, but every year more bonds are bought with the weekly employment tax proceeds. Social Security is an extremely well run pension system that also funds some worthwhile, and some worthless (and worse) government programmes.
You have to understand that debt is a real asset when it's low risk. Treasury debt is extremely low risk, yet it still pays real interest.
The real problem is that the Federal government spends the money it borrows from SS largely on military/intel programmes that destroy value rather than create them. Some military/intel spending does create value, with some spinoff R&D and low-grade employment (that does little for anyone else to consume). But far more of it is destructive, and most of it is effectively inert, compared to other investments, other employment, other R&D. Spending $1.2T a year on, say, universal education and Korea-cheap broadband (mobile), or more NASA and mass transit, would have been a far better way to defend the US than on the military, especially after the first $300B is spent on actual defense.
No, what you're saying is false. Social Security has $2.5T in money that is invested in Treasury bonds and paid into the fund as the bonds mature, drawn on to pay checks every month. Despite Bush and his Republican Congress trying, and Obama tolerating Republicans and "Conservative" Democrats to try again now to liquidate that fund into the hands of bankers who just smashed the economy, Congress has not yet managed to screw it up. Though with the "tax holidays" they've run during the recession that often reduce payments into the SS fund, there is a new threat. However, SS is completely solvent to pay full benefits through at least 2025, and probably 2037 (depending on undetermined coming trends in unemployment, retirement and Treasury debt yields). After that time it slowly begins to need more money from outside the current employment tax rates to fully fund its obligations - which eliminating the cap at $106K, and indeed making it progressive, would completely solve.
Medicare and Medicaid are much more as you describe. However, they are no different from other health insurance financing in that way. Though private health insurers are all totally leveraged, and could never pay their full obligations if called in, while MC/MA are leveraged only because the overall entity, the Federal government + all states, is in perpetual debt. But that debt could be eliminated without any involvement of MC/MA, like simply by reducing military/intel spending from $1.5T to $300B, turning the $1.17T deficit into a surplus paying down the debt.
I don't care if they "trolled me". The fact is that I welcome someone outing them and kicking their ass. I'm perfectly happy to talk with other people about them, even if they get to watch.
The idea that "they're not really racists" because there are worse racists who don't hide it is part of how stupidity like racism manages to survive and replicate itself through the generations. When someone says things like that, they're a racist. They might be "kidding", but it doesn't matter. That kind of talk in public is part of what keeps people down - including keeping down the racists. Even though more serious racism keeps people down more, the less serious racism is still racism. And I don't see what they've posted here as anything less a "slow-witted failed comeback". It's just an echo chamber of the stupidest, most infantile phrases and terrible ideas, coming from the same cesspool soul.
Government transfers of money to the old is money saved from them from before they were old. The transfers of money to the poor are about equal to the money stolen from them in so many ways.
Military/intel costs are over $1.5 TRILLION a year), including loads of money given to the old and the poor: veterans and their families. The entire budget, apart from $TRILLIONS in handouts given to banks, is only $3.5T - including everything else the Federal government does. The proportions are obvious when you're honest: we waste most of our money on military/intel. If we spent $300B instead of $1500B, we'd have a surplus (the deficit is $1.17T). The military/intel waste is practically our entire problem, especially since dollars pushed through it is some of the least productive in creating other production for American consumption, or anything else of value to America.
Yeah, when the budgets didn't mean hundreds of $BILLIONS (only dozens) for Star Wars defense contractors, there was suddenly no more money for science.
I didn't say you said anything about military spending or tax cuts. What I said is that nickel/diming the most productive public investments is a waste, when those other sources of crisis are begging for attention. Every minute you spend talking about cutting NASA is a minute you're not talking about cutting military/intel or collecting taxes from rich people. If you can link to somewhere you've asked for that real benefit somewhere in the past month or six, I'll calm down. Otherwise I'll stick to the reasonable assumption that you just pick on NASA instead of where the problem really lies.
Physics like what's conducted at the Tevatron does many useful things.
Firstly, it simply helps us understand the entire universe, from the parts close to us and our size, to tiny parts, to distant and large parts. The basic knowledge helps us know things about a most things that exist - and that those that don't, don't.
Secondly, industry, including telecom, medicine and manufacturing, all rely on improvements in the physics model for better machines, materials and chemistry. Energy efficiency is locked up in what we don't yet know about matter, energy and information.
Thirdly, research like at the Tevatron diverts physicists and other smart people from destructive activities like weapons and war, and financial gaming.
Fourthly, "American know-how" is a self-image that drives everything we do, and drives smart people to the US even if they don't do physics or anything like it.
Fifthly, the lab itself is a better employer than burger flipping, telemarketing or unemployment checks.
The list goes on. The list of what to do instead goes like: more lying wars, more yachts for the richest, more welfare for banks and oil corps, or even just letting people keep a few more dollars of income to spend on more cheetos, pay-per-view wrestling, and Chinese vinyl toys. All of which collapses the economy into a black hole no one bothers to understand.
It's not the end of the world for the physicists getting jobs in foreign countries.
It is the end of the "physics is American" world for America.
We have made the decision as a society to spend all our money on the worst stuff and the worst people, as hard and as quickly as possible. We're a superconducting supercollider of money, stupidity, greed, arrogance and fail.
spanning a whopping 409 square feet, or 38 square meters.
That's not "whopping". In microgravity and near vacuum, "whopping" would be a square kilometer, or a dozen square kilometers. Accelerating probes into outer solar orbits in a few years, dropping network nodes along the way, charging fuel stations for planetary exploration, eventually capturing asteroids for making machines that exploit other planets' resources, eventually colonizing the whole system. The future of inhabiting space is long, but there's little reason to wait for a truly "whopping" sail to get us started.
Oh, so as long as there's just one agency, science and employment will grow just fine. That is your hyperbole - or rather hypobole.
Look, why don't you concentrate on the $TRILLIONS in military/intel expenses and the $TRILLIONS in rich people tax cuts that are actually killing our budgets and economy, instead of the fractions of a percent that are the good reasons we have anything left to work with.
Are we replacing this lab with another? Is the US even capable of doing high energy physics experiments here anymore?
I'm sure the richest people need their tax cuts more than the US needs to be where we determine which basic research is best for us. After all, they created all these negative millions of jobs. Or maybe another lying war or two instead of letting the Chinese or Europeans direct humanity's exploration where it best suits them, regardless of what's good for us.
I'm just waiting for Anonymous to out this racist AC and post their coordinates. Getting their ass kicked every day for the rest of their life will probably reinforce their racism, but who cares? They're worthless anyway, and only demonstrate to everyone how stupid racism is.

1. The more correct word in English for that condition is "still", not "yet".
2. That first post is a suggestion.
The first post is of course always the best suggestion yet, no matter how bad it is.
