Have you been audited yet? Yours is the kind of tax return the IRS likes to select out for it. More than likely, you and the IRS are going to have differences of opinions as to what's deductable. They won't argue with your records, they'll just maintain that what they record is not in fact a deductable expense.
Oh, Lord. A tax attorney would laugh himself into a seizure over this. Write off going to theme parks because reviewing them is your business? Not unless you can show the taxman you made a profit at it in the recent past or have a reasonable expectation of doing so in the future. Incorporate yourself to allow you to calculate taxes on that basis? Yep, and be sued by the IRS for maintaining a phony corporation as a tax dodge, particularly if you have only one client, in which case they will claim you are an employee and must be taxed like one (they've done it before).
Just remember that the only thing to stand up to a big business nowadays is big government
I'm sorry, but if you think the antidote to big business is big government, you're delusional. Big government is big business's *partner*. It's always been that way, and it'll always be that way. Handing government more power means that there will be plenty of regulations. You *do* know that a regulation-heavy environment favors big business, not small business, right? Small business can't afford the compliance department you need.
Possible to define? Perhaps, although you are still left with the problem of how you are going to define the value of the resources, or how you will account for the risk of creating new products or services. Practical to use? Not in the slightest. People will pay what they are willing to pay; if you try to regulate it out of existence, you will simply create a huge black market where people will continue to pay what they want to get what they want.

Apple wasn't the only folks who did that. Google up "Winmodem" some time. Though I can see how it'd suck extra hard on an OS that didn't have pre-emptive multitasking.
Heavy? Well, yeah. Look on it as impromptu free-weight training. But fragile? I can drop a book three stories on to solid concrete and have it survive essentially intact. Let's see you do that with an eBook...
Not waterproof?
Are you going to seriously tell me that a Kindle *is* waterproof?
Search feature?
I can riffle through a real book to find the section I'm looking for in a minute. There's also a handy section at the front called the "table of contents". For a finer-grained search, books that need them have something called an "index".
And "heat transfer" means some form of toner and a crapload of electricity. So you still have a consumable
I was pretty sure they wouldn't say "no consumables" if it used toner. Furthermore, toner is not "heat transfer" but rather "heat fixture"--the heat doesn't transfer the toner to the paper, it binds it to the paper once it's there. Reading the article, I see that this is the case: the paper is set up to change color back and forth depending on how it is heat-treated. No external toner whatsoever, just the special, re-usable paper.
The laser describes a perfectly straight line; no windage is needed. You therefore do not need to track the mosquito in three dimensions, but only two--no fine determination of range is required.
it would be very like Gnome to make this difficult or impossible,
In fact, in Gnome, it works just like Windows: grab the bar (actually, Gnome calls it a "panel") and drag it to the screen edge you want it at. You can also have more than one of them, if you want; by default Gnome gives you two, on the top and bottom, but the right click menu on a panel gives you the options to add more panels or to delete the one you're right-clicking. Two works nicely since you can do more with a Gnome panel than a Windows bar; you can easily make your own quicklaunch icons, you'll generally have multiple menus on it (instead of one big Start menu) and it's where your Workspace Switcher lives (if only Windows had something that useful out of the box), in addition to doing absolutely everything the Windows bar does. It's all user-configurable, too.
"Malicious Prosecution". "Barratry". "Champerty". There's all sorts of rules on the books to prevent making simply calling the defendant to court a way to punish him, but somehow, they all seem to be rarely used. In a system run by judges who are lawyers, with rules made by legislators who are largely lawyers, there seems to be a disinclination to discourage people from hiring lawyers. Imagine that.
I suspect the parent post is a troll, but just to keep the record straight: the first shots of the Civil War were in January 1861, when Confederate forces in South Carolina fired on the supply ship Star of the West dispatched by President Buchanan, attempting to reach Fort Sumter, driving it away. So not only did the Confederacy fire the first shots, they did so before Lincoln was even sworn in as President. Confederate troops started an assault on Fort Sumter in earnest at 4:30 AM on April 12 under the command of Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard. The Fort Sumter garrison did not even start to return fire until two and half hours later.
You certainly have the right to peaceably assemble. Proceeding to discuss the violent overthrow of the United States comes under the heading of "conspiracy to commit a felony" and no, you do NOT have a right to that.

Didn't think so.
P4s? Pah, new kid on the block. Here, have a 6502. Only $6!
You could keep it in a special pocket in your vest. Even have a little chain attached to it, with decorative fobs...
Nah. Who'd ever do that?
So Macbeth takes place in LA. Who knew?
Here.
...then I can only assume you spend all your time in a sealed, pitch-black room. Light is radiation, y'know.

You fool! You can't kill -9 zombies! They'll just laugh it off and then suck out your brain! You have to kill the parent!
Thereby demonstrating that PvP is a great place to come from.

Edison took years to see the light!
(Right!)
Alexander Graham knew failure well
'E took a lot o' knocks to ring that Bell!
When you buy a name-brand item from someone you don't know on the street or in a bar, you get a cheap knock-off.

And now you don't have to address any of their points, because they are, after all, climate-change-denying scum. Convenient and efficient!
