That's the problem. It *does* have to be perfect. Oregon is *not allowed*, by the US Constitution, to tax your driving out of state. Unless they can *prove* to a reasonable standard that they are not taxing out-of-state mileage, they can't do it.
If the metal in the penny was worth more than the penny people would be melting them down, as they did with gold coins. Clearly that is not happening.
Yes, it did happen. Then they made it illegal. There's not enough money in it for that; if you're going to do something illegal to make money, you're going to want something that makes more money than this.
The reason the penny costs so much to keep in circulation is not solely the cost of minting. If a penny costs $0.02 to mint but is used in 10,000 transaction in it's life time that would be ok.
No, it's a problem. Negative seigniorage is a bad thing; a government expects to make money when it's making money.
I'm curious, are you not from the US? Supervoting shares are quite rare (and sometimes illegal) outside the US, but they are rather common in the US. In the US, all voting shares are *not* necessarily the same.
No, this is not statistics. This is business, where not all shares are created equal. 10% of the shares can easily equal 50%, 60% or more of the vote, depending on how the shares were set up.
I still remember when I first looked at that comic and started scrolling. "Hey, it scrolls! Let's scroll to the end of it!" Scroll...scroll...scroll... "Wow, this is taking a while" Scroll...scroll...scroll... "Damn, this is big" Scroll...scroll...scroll... "Does it ever end? Holy cow, it scrolls up and down too--he's got stuff tunnelling way down in the earth. A LONG way down in the earth" Scroll...scroll...scroll "Is there any end to it? Will I even be able to see all of it?" There is just no way he could've gotten that impact if there'd been a zoom function to see all of it at once. That cartoon is one of Randall's most talked about comics, and I am firmly convinced that it would not have produced one tenth the reaction it did if it had had a zoom function.
Because real animals have to be fed, meaning your solution to your supply problem is now *another* supply problem. Granted, machines need fuel, but you're now talking about a much smaller amount of stuff that has to be hauled for an equivalent carrying ability.
I keep asking if this is so true then why does every nationality and US state that has stricter gun laws have a lower rate of gun death?
No one has ever answered me.
One: it's a meaningless question. It's not the gun deaths that matter; it's the total deaths. If you reduce guns deaths by 2,000 but knife deaths rise by 2,000, you haven't gained anything.
Two: It's not true. Jamaica has much tougher gun control than the US. It also has a gun death rate almost five times the US's.
More like, " We were caught trying to stick it to our product BUT they called us on our shit."
"So now we're trying to see if meaningless reassurances will smooth things over." What matters is the agreement terms. Until they change, nothing has chaned.
No. No, it won't. XP and 7 are basically the same user interface painted different colors. Windows 8 makes fundamental changes to the interface. They won't have any idea what they're supposed to do with it. They'll have a breakdown.

They kindly provide a link to the "Original Source". It's a dead link, and to a site that doesn't look any more trustworthy than theirs.

The problem is, gun control isn't mutual disarmament, it's unilateral disarmament. It doesn't disarm the criminals.

You can not only have non-voting shares, you can have super-voting shares, where all the shares vote, but some vote more than others.

Yes, you can judge the scale in a zoom function. He wants you to *feel* the scale. To beat you over the head with it.
The zoom functionality is missing by design. He wants to indelibly impress on you how BIG it is. Being able to zoom out would ruin the effect.

Neither! It was for punching trees!
Sew when you don't sea any read zig-zags, you no you haven't maid any mistakes!

There's your answer.
And how you ask it.
If only there was stuff already *in* orbit. If only people were planning means of accessing the stuff that's already in orbit. Alas...
You mean the enemy's gateway is down...

Well of course Microsoft will tell you that things will be awful if you don't upgrade to 8. Doesn't mean it's true.
No. No, it won't. XP and 7 are basically the same user interface painted different colors. Windows 8 makes fundamental changes to the interface. They won't have any idea what they're supposed to do with it. They'll have a breakdown.
What world do you live in? Virtually all game developers for Windows still support XP.
God bless and keep Steve Ballmer...far away from us!
