You have to provide your employer with your SSN, and probably other government ID number(s) like drivers license or professional certification number. The government has the data on your race, gender, age etc. Therefore your employer doesn't need to know those details, it can just provide the government with the list of employees, and the government can calculate the percentages.
"the bombers for a time had a longer range than the fighters, and would have to fend for themselves over Germany with no fighter escor"
While the carrier aircraft was designed for the 2nd world war, (but didn't go into service until after the war) the Goblin jet fighter was designed during the cold war.
What really killed the idea was air-air refueling, it made the idea unecessary.,"I think the idea made more sense when Zepplins were still being pondered by the military, but I'm not sure anyone ever had a good plan for actually recovering the fighters after launching them."
I think you are refering to the Ackron and the Macon. The little biplanes had no problems launching and docking with those carriers. What killed that project was the loss of the airships (in aeparate storms)
Also the Google brand is unique. There are other things that have an Apple name (remember the Beatles) and of course the actual fruit (and juice) is consumed in more places than are Ipods or Iphones...
Plenty of other things that fusion reactors could power (like the electric grid so we can cut way down on carbon emissions) and desalination plants for drought areas. And of course slower than light ships for travel within the solar system'''
Invading the countries that they have their bases (and supporting tribes and religious leaders) turned out to be too expensive (in both american lives and money)
The industry I hate the most is the fossil fuels industry Not just because of global warming, but mostly because they control the politicians and stop anything being done about it.

Oh, come on, there are many 'toys' that have been around for more than a century Like the 'stick with the horses head handle, the bicycle and tricycle, the spinning top, the soccer ball, the oval football, the bucket and spade (sandcastles) the swimming pool, the Y shaped catapult, dolls (and toy soldiers for boys) chalk, crayons and other drawing stuff, the seesaw (aka teeter tottor) slides, playing cards (the classical 4 suits kind) dice (6 sided, not the crappy company that owns slashdot, the skipping rope, the kaleidoscope, the boomerang, model trains, cars and boats, and the box that the toys came in

The first thing I would do is have directional antennas and only accept commands from above (ie satellites)

Can you upgrade it (for free) to Win 7 and Seamonkey?
You'd have to pay me a lot to use Win 8.x

You can observe the black hole if you are inside the event horizon, however you can't tell anyone about it afterward as your message can't get out

1 milligram of antimatter could power a cellphone for a couple of thousand years or so.
"But in all cases, they're caused by comet debris"
There was a shooting star 65 million years ago that wasn't caused by comet debris, and others since then that were not quite as spectacular.
"Tired of paying to put gas in your guzzler?"
I don't own a car, and the mower is electric.

Ben Grimm will be happy
"The cars should be programmed to stop and revert to human control whenever there is a problem that the car is not programmed to handle."
The occupants of the car may be human, but not include a driver .
(I am sure I am not the only person in this country that does not have a driver's license . In my case due to poor eyesight)
Maybe we can persuade The Donald to invest in space exploration.
Then no Russians would be needed.

Did he ever make a 4 dimensional version (Rubik's Tesseract)
They should stop using the term 'metric ton' . A thousand kilograms is a megagram
But that's not the case with the pound, it is used for both (sometimes, but not always more specifically as pound-force or pound-mass)
Theres a;so the pound sterling £ which is metric. It used to be Imperial (pounds, shillings and pence)
