My point was more that Wolfram Alpha is somewhat more than Turing complete, so that it happens to be Turing complete or not doesn't completely answer the question.
Canada probably benefits, to some degree, from U.S. military spending (at a minimum, we are friendly and the U.S. is willing to sell Canada equipment, which at least gives Canada the option of lower development costs), so direct comparisons of GDP and the like may not be particularly useful (There is probably Canadian spending that benefits the U.S., but I bet U.S. spending benefits Canada more).
I take your point that it is complicated, but it is basically an ongoing tragedy that government programs are not evaluated for effectiveness or success (effective programs should be funded, ineffective programs should be de-funded, and the label of success should be reserved for programs that have accomplished their goals and can be shut down).
When you buy fruit, do you expect it to stay fresh forever?
Given that the RIAA has now publicly stated that they don't think they need to continue to support DRM, buyers can factor the likelihood of the files rotting into their purchasing decisions.
There is some room for consumers to claim it is confusing, but show me a guy who has been burned twice.
Stating the additional costs of an additional launch isn't really massaging the numbers, the $390 million difference you are complaining about is money already gone, so it isn't at all unreasonable to talk about adding a launch costing taxpayers $100 million (or $60 million, whatever).
Roundup is a huge improvement over the herbicides that were used before it, in a multitude of ways (big ones are that it is not an extreme skin contact hazard and that it does not persist in the environment).
I think the biggest problem with modern produce is that it has been bred for shipping and shelf life. There are lots of fruits and vegetables that ship and store fine, but tomatoes are probably the extreme example of one that does not.
The industry definition of free range is that there is a door and a yard. Probably not quite equivalent to the image that it tries to evoke.
It's fascinating that people are bringing up disease as a problem caused by modern farming techniques, it is quite likely that agriculture at any level is responsible for most epidemic diseases in history (because it enables population density). Who knows if the scale of feed lots makes them a better incubator than a more traditional farm where hogs where kept together in a wallow, but the idea that animal diseases are a new problem is pretty thin (and it isn't like the feed lots want to raise sickly animals, they want the to GROW).
(The first paragraph is a reply to what you said, the second is more in reply to the whole thread, I'm not sure I made that clear in writing them)
My understanding was that they were so widely used because they didn't go rancid as fast as untreated oils, not because they tasted better. The only thing I noticed was that packaging was improved and food seemed fresher, I didn't notice things tasting worse.
Many of them are already on extended licenses. The issue is that steel gets weaker when exposed to radiation for decades, so to keep operating a plant, you have to rebuild much of it, which is pretty close to decommissioning it.

Many humans are Turing complete.
So I'm not sure that really means much in the face of copyrights on the output.
All analogies are flawed, my point was that people are quite able to factor future uncertainty into purchasing decisions, not that Apple sells fruit.

Yeah, it struck me as a 'big scary number' style calculation.
I bet the amount people 'overpay' by using basket style contracts is even huger.
It's quite likely that there were also several million people living in North America.
€30,000 is perfectly cromulent in the U.S.
â30.000 doesn't even make sense.

Similar things have been done:

24 hours? I try pretty hard to not be that important (well, sort of, it isn't exactly an imminent danger at the moment).
But that means that the iPhone users should be bogging down iPhone users too, so the network should be working fine for everybody.
Yeah, that's the ticket!
Millions of humans, not hundreds.

You don't need to give it up to have an impact, forgoing a small serving of meat at one meal frees up the equivalent of a days worth of calories.
More poisonous in what sense?

Have you noticed a change in the flavor?

Manure enjoys widespread use regardless of whether the farmer has 'organic' in mind or not.
It's easy to check on them:

It is also possible to turn local storage off completely (I'm not sure how much that breaks things though).
You should have gone with "I'm a javascript developer and I use NoScript, because I know about all the shady crap I pull."

I recommend AIG, they will not poorly manage your insurance policy or tie it to any high risk financial activity.
How about TIPS?
Not an option historically, but the last few years...
