You can use Uuq if you like, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're worried about it going obsolete. Your available storage will be halved every 2.6 seconds.
Not only are you very rude, but you're also wrong. She filled out as much of the form as possible by your appearance and other available data. I hope you didn't want to be misrepresented!
Double post, sorry, but I didn't remember to answer your question. The Census is used to determine population statistics for use in congressional representation, and basically nothing else. That's how a republic works.
People are already wary enough of the census. Sharing the information with the IRS would cut that participation rate in half. Privacy is one of the most important parts of any census.
Also, that 72% you mentioned is the voluntary mail-in participation rate. This is the easy part of the Census, the hard part being trying to find all of the people who deliberately dodge anything that has anything to do with the government. And believe me, they try VERY hard to find each person in the US. Legal resident, homeless, fugitive, it doesn't matter. The point is to get an accurate count of EVERYONE.
Actually we did. One enumerator in my district did just that. He researched his assignments on the internet, and tried to forge reasonable responses. Of course this was detected during the quality control operation. This led to several humorous (well, on our side at least) interviews that went something like this:
QC Clerk: Hello, Mr. Smith? We recently received your census response, and are calling for quality control. Could you confirm that John Smith resided at this address on April 1, 2010?
Resident: John? Oh, heavens no... He died in '03. I have never been contacted by a census worker before.
I feel bad for the folks that were contacted like this, but we checked every enumerator's work. I also feel for the large number of people who were contacted multiple times for QC purposes, who understandably became quite tired of hearing from us.
Incidentally, the enumerators were initially given palm-top computers which I assume were similar to what delivery service workers carry. This was to be the main method field enumerators would use, meaning the US had planned to be largely digital. I never saw these because the idea was scrapped before the main operation began.
The government may be slow to adopt technology, but they are not so stupid as to trust hundreds of thousands of temporary works at their word alone.
I am not afraid of terrorism. I do not care at all. It doesn't matter how prepared we are for terrorism, they're not going to attack a building that's bristling with insurmountable security. They're not trying to destroy our infrastructure, they can't. They want to scare us. If they want to attack us, they will. (Maybe if we hadn't killed the fathers of those terrorists in previous wars, they wouldn't be so angry at us.)
There are plenty of other, more effective things that the government could do to protect us, such as encouraging citizens to not weigh 300 pounds. Being fat is undeniably a luxury, why not tax it like other luxuries? Or changing this ridiculous education system we have in which the schools that perform the best (and obviously don't need much help) are rewarded with substantially more federal funding. This plainly only serves to increase disparity.
Again, I am absolutely not afraid of terrorism. If it happens, so be it. We should look into the cause, and try to remediate it; but it's impossible to prevent terrorism. If we are afraid, that is PRECISELY WHAT THEY WERE GOING FOR. I am, however, afraid of the government that uses a single act of terrorism nearly a decade ago as a threat to its own people.
I'm not sure you understand why helium floats. It's not because our gravity "is not strong enough." Helium is less dense than other components of the atmosphere. Just like ice floats on water, helium floats on air. Same with hydrogen. Hence the distinction between "lighter-than-air" flight and aerodynamic lift.

She just made this claim to save herself from the embarrassment after having too many prunes.

Step five is division by zero, since a and b are equal.
