I'm pretty sure subway seats cost the same because the costs of creating and enforcing different ticket classes would exceed the increase in revenues from providing them.
Wheelchair seats cost the same because the grim meathook has not come for us just yet (and often, the wheelchair seats are at the flat spot above the seats, at the back of the theater).
The military isn't really a standalone society. That hummvee you are talking about probably popped into existence courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer and whoever owned the factory it was built in.
It is not my intent to deride the military, just to point out that the economics of the U.S. military are very much integrated with the rest of the U.S.
Well, those reps usually aren't empowered to do anything that the computer won't let them, so as long as the recognition is somewhat consistent, who cares?
That figure is probably going to be higher for 2008 than for 2009, but it will still be healthy in 2009. The discussion there implies that they spent $115 million more on Vista in fiscal 2008 than the prior year (that figure is separate from a $150 million increase in marketing costs), so they actually increased spending, in one year, by most of your entire estimate.
I thought he was using 10,000 lines as an amount of experience (and that less than that would not give enough experience with the IDE to convince one of the benefits).
Only working with \ is an odd choice, NT kernel versions of Windows don't care about / vs \, though I guess whatever program you are typing in might want \ for escaping things.
Probably because each one tends to be available (by default) on either platform.
What the above is trying to say is that Idle is installed by default with python on Windows (my understanding is that it is often a separate package on Linux, perhaps I am wrong) and vim is pretty likely to be available on Linux.
Whoops, the top 1% do pay about 36% of federal personal income taxes. Somehow, even though they also pay most corporate taxes, they manage to only pay 25% of overall taxes. I guess FICA is some of that, but it doesn't seem like it should be such a huge effect.
I guess it would vary for local areas (because the incomes of the 1% and the 99% will impact the taxes paid by quite a bit), but at the federal level, it is more like 25% of income taxes:
There are more than 100 possible messages that could be sent by ordering 5 fuses to match a message from a book (perhaps twice, to make sure). Hopefully, that would be enough, and it be equal to the bulk required to spell out "Help!" using characters (well, discounting the paper, but that wouldn't have to be huge).
Dan Brown's writing is best consumed with an ocean.
I'm not qualified to judge it directly, but there are enough people out there calling bullshit to make the above pretty clear. I guess it is fair to mention that they don't claim it is pure bullshit, just that there are lots and lots of mistakes and overstated conclusions.
The stock market isn't necessarily zero sum (things like dividends inject new monies). So a portfolio heavy in dividend paying stocks with healthy balance sheets doesn't in any way resemble any actual game. Many people do choose to be less conservative than that.
We are getting rather close to the point where most people already have their next big thing.
I'm not saying that there won't always be a next big thing, I'm saying that it will be interesting to a smaller and smaller chunk of people. Something more than half of people don't care about video, and so on.

The present position of Cambridge doesn't factor into it. Unless you are trying to compare something to the present position of Cambridge.
What kind of doors did that degree open?

"government provided" or "society provided" are way better words than "free" in there.
Better to move the entire solar system, the sun makes it nice and easy to maintain low entropy here on Earth.

That's almost certainly low. Looking at it, they take in more than $1 billion a month just on operating systems sales (look under client):

I see what you are saying, but those steps are 'extra' and sometimes, that is enough.

Man, I don't even feel bad.

Yes, but why was this modded insightful?

He'd probably be happy to send you the data.
That was the prototype. The succeeded with Wall Street, but left out the winning.

Probably. I'm talking about the current situation on the ground, not hypothetical situations.
Well played Alanis, well played.
