Actually, I'm not particularly a fan. Sure, there are pluses, but there are plenty of minuses, as well. I simply don't use any of the public services that my tax dollars go to use.
For example, I pay a per-capita tax for buses... and the nearest bus to my house is a half hour drive away.
As I said further down, I can't think of a single state agency that's done me a lick of good in the past twenty or so years. Government is a crutch for people who can't make it on their own.
Go for it mate... I'm squeaky clean on the books, eh?
I wasn't trying to piss people off, I'm just tired of paying >40% of my income (self employed means you get bent over, FYI) for things that I do not use. I can't think of one state-subsidized agency that's done me a lick of good in the last... well, since I hated highschool, we'll call it 20 years.
How much are other web developers making?
No were needed.
I make $10 an hour for basic stupid HTML/CSS stuff, $20+ for more complicated stuff, minimum $25 for maintenance code. However, substantial breaks for large contracts means I'm averaging $3k a month or so. (pure profit, fuck taxes)
There's no way to harness winds of that speed. Most wind farms shut down in anything greater than 25 or 30mph sustained wind speed. 200mph gusts would destroy any hypothetical wind farm that they could build.
I think if you're visually impaired AND hearing impaired, or have a problem with both of your arms that makes typing in a conventional way difficult, you've got bigger problems than being unable to post comments to blogs... like being blind and deaf or unable to type.
I mean, really, here, putting things into perspective, what is someone who can't use a keyboard going to post? cat-walking-on-keyboard?
Hydrogen at STP is 14.35247 times lighter than air:
0.08988 g / L
Air being ~1.29 g / L
At 10 atm, hydrogen gives you 0.39 kg/m^3 of lift force. Thus... it's useful for lift. Not a great deal of lift, but obviously you're going to need quite a bit more hydrogen than jet fuel.
Gasoline ~9,700 watt-hours per liter Hydrogen at 10atm 27 Wh/L
So for a 777 ER (195,280 L of fuel) you'd need 70105 m^3 of hydrogen at 10atm, giving you lift of 27,340kg (and also a volume 3x as large, but little things like that shouldn't matter)
On the other hand, all that goes out the window as soon as you go above sea level!
Hydrogen is a perfectly acceptable aviation fuel, albeit somewhat bulky (~4x the volume per joule, liquid form). However, the interesting thing is that you can use it as lift.
Certainly, with bulk carriers doing much business, if fuel is hydrogen, then fuel is also buoyancy even at 10 atm or so.
One could easily see a worm being released as a probe for a future zero-day worm, leading to a more robust worm archetype in the future.
After all, bagle/beagle went through multiple revisions, presumably each one drawing on the knowledge learned from watching the impact of the last one.
After all, if the "good guys" (white hats) can set up a honeynet, perhaps the "bad guys" (black hats) can send out a honeyworm to find said honeynets.
I can also think of several ways to deal with worm size in terms of exclusionary lists of ~500k+ hosts/subnets. Simply store the actual list out on the internet somewhere (multiple would be good, or perhaps a worm that exploits a torrent?) and query it when propagation begins.
hopefully people at the core level of system administration (backbones, major isps, etc) will become clueful enough to shoot these packets to the local equivalent of/dev/null

Gotta get them root passwords, a backdoor installed, and maybe encrypt the volumes.
You're not thinking BOFHish enough mate!
Actually, I telecommute... and when I do drive my car, I pay a large percentage of the price of gas towards transportation fees.
You seem to be assuming that I'm an American (I am)
Remember, this is the Internet... it's kinda global.
In what way is posting on a tech forum that I don't pay income tax bad? Explain to me the exact repercussions you think that honesty is going to have?
Also, I would lay $20 on the idea that "pissing off one metric shittonne worth of tech geeks" is going to have exactly zero effect on me.
In this particular case, the difference is: the club is mandatory, and you pay regardless of whether you use the club facilities at all.
As I've posted other places, I simply don't use any of the federal, state, and local services that my tax dollars would go to support.

Whatever you can squeeze out of them!

It's actually not the capilliary effect, it's a seperate phenomenon, IIRC

Hey, I'm not fat!
Right, except I said at 10 atm...

Even less since it's not a 60,000 mile space elevator, more like 60,000 km. So only 17 years.
To be droll about it, presumably they would be thinner than normal materials, and not break.

I concur, this is actually quite relevant.

It's how you live.
That should be:
It's how well you live.
Donor card filled out, living will on record, relatives notified.

You're going to feel like a real ass if the payment actually shows up, aren't you? :)
