It's one single system and organization that handles federal voting for the entire country.
So you're saying a central, single federal agency is more efficient than individual agencies using their own systems. Next you'll tell me that works for health care as well.
this in turn causes society, public opinion and government to turn from the protesters and their just demands in disgust, through no fault of the protesters
you inconsiderate clod! No, really, he gave my his Sansui QRX 4-channel receiver and 4 custom speakers as a graduation gift (then went out and bought new stuff for himself). The surrounds on the speakers were shot after all those years and I gave them to a friend who wants to repair them. I bought a pair of Ascend bookshelves for better Wife Acceptance Factor and drive the whole thing with a Denon CD carousel. Sounds great, doesn't take up a lot of space.
Anyone that is super-rich in the US today is part of a legacy that goes back hundreds of years.
Um, what?

Sales taxes can be applied to non-residents, though, via tourism. That allows the tax rate for the locals to be lower, as some of the tax burden is carried by people who don't live in the area and benefit from the tax revenue.
Also, taxes on visitors are probably some of the easiest to raise, as the visitors would have no ability to vote against them.
The problem isn't the extra bytes, the problem is that the codes now provide so much more description. So there needs to be translation between what the doctors are used to calling something and what the new term is.
For example, in ICD-9, one code is 944.15, First degree burn of palm. In ICD-10, there are three codes: Burn of first degree of unspecified palm, initial encounter, subsequent encounter, and sequella (subsequent encounters). ICD-10 also defines additional codes for Burn of first degree of left palm, right palm. So that makes 9 possible new codes for that one ICD-9 code. But whoever is entering the data needs to know that there is the additional accuracy in the new system.
U.S. airlines carried 0.5 percent more domestic passengers and 4.9 percent more international passengers in the first 7 months of 2010 than during the same period in 2009. This was a reversal of 2009, when total (domestic and international) enplanements dropped 7.2 percent from the first 7 months of 2008
While total passengers were up in 2010, the number of domestic flights was down 2.1 percent for the first 7 months. Increased passenger-miles flown coupled with fewer available seat-miles produced an all-time airline industry high average load factor of 82.3 percent, up from 81.0 percent during the same period in 2009.
Looks like 2009 was off 2% from 2004. That's as far back as that webpage goes.
The Momentus has a 4GB cache. This will have a 60GB cache. I haven't noticed much improvement in day-to-day use with the Momentus over a normal SATA drive. I think the cache is just too small. But maybe launching Windows, Firefox, Photoshop, VirtualBox, MediaMonkey, and a few other big apps isn't its designed usage and is causing cache swap.
Now, if I could tell it to *just* cache Windows, that would be an improvement.
I'd bet the laws would stay the same, even though the units changed. 1-5 kph over the limit: 1 point. 5-10 kph over: 2 points. 10-15 kph over: 3 points. 15+ kph over: reckless driving. The police have to increase profits too, you know.
I think I'll start marketing a web content filter called "Paranoia." It won't actually do anything, but by telling your users/citizens that you are, and can monitor everything they do, they would be more worried about it than getting a blocked-site message. It would be like one big TOS that said "Feel free to do whatever you like, as long as that is within the bounds of whatever we feel is appropriate/acceptable. We reserve the right to redefine appropriate and acceptable as appropriate and without additional warning."

According to the Oracle of Bacon, Hitler has a Bacon number of 4, so you must be correct.

Right, who would ever want to hijack peaceful protests?

Who wouldn't watch "Superman Vs. Batman" or "Wolverine Vs. Spider-Man"?
Now you have n! new movie "plots" to choose from.

Right, the real amount will be eleventy bajillion zillion dollars.

Step 2 is obviously "Sue anyone who uses the word 'bitcoin.'"
Step 3 is repeat step 2. Or steal underpants.

N52.2, Drug-induced erectile dysfunction?
S38.01, Crushing injury of penis?

Ditto. I was quite impressed to learn that I managed to get a loan from BMW Credit when I was 14.

Different article, different trolls...
Politician: Bravo, Madge. Well done. Taxation is indeed the very hub of my gist. Gentlemen, we have to find something new to tax.
Second Official: I understood that.
Third Official: If I might put my head on the chopping block so you can kick it around a bit, sir...
Politician: Yes?
Third Official: Well most things we do for pleasure nowadays are taxed, except one.
Politician: What do you mean?
Third Official: Well, er, smoking's been taxed, drinking's been taxed but not ... thingy.
Politician: Good Lord, you're not suggesting we should tax... thingy?
First Official: Poo poo's?
Third Official: No.
First Official: Thank God for that. Excuse me for a moment. (leaves)
Third Official: No, no, no - thingy.
Second Official: Number ones?
Third Official: No, thingy.
Politician: Thingy!
Second Official: Ah, thingy. Well it'll certainly make chartered accountancy a much more interesting job.
