Given the choice between intelligence and football playing ability (American in the US, soccer elsewhere) I know which I'd bet on the bulk of humanity to choose for.
You would think that with all this brainpower and technology at their disposal, Ford would have picked a partner other than Microsoft for their in car entertainment/control package (SYNC).
If nothing else, in this case, they should have received a special dispensation from the FDA.
Similar incidents in areas with large game kills. Hunters cannot in some jurisdictions (Maryland) give the meat from population management hunts to food banks or the like without going through the entire inspection process, at their expense.
You have ignored (at least) two important items. First, Betty paid taxes on the parties, toys, and trips. Second, at least at the federal level, the $200k should be well under the $5 million exemption to the estate tax.
As for the kids, that is money that could have gone to give the kids a better childhood or pay for college. Instead, dad saved it for retirement. But he died before he could retire, so now the government gets it instead of him or the kids. It's sick.
You realize that we're talking about a tax with a $5,000,000 exemption in the US, right? Poor Tiny Tim's college and Chrismas Goose money fall well underneath that cutoff.
Cue the handwringing and pearl clutching concerning family farms and businesses...
To bring the comparison back to warfare, this sort of economic action on the part of the Chinese is unlikely to happen any time soon due to the theory of Mutally Assured Destruction.

What if you end up in the control group?
If done properly, he won't know.

It certainly would have made Gattaca a shorter movie.
Is there a problem, officers?
Randolph and Mortimer are truly bastards.
This open sores, continuous improvement thing does seem to work from time to time.
Also, whoever decided to auto-play audio on Slashdot should be fired from a cannon into a brick wall.
FTFY.
I hate this hacker crap.
The dog will return it to you soon with additional encryption applied.
I think that's a one way hash.
Also, it tells me nothing about geekoid's claim that Prohibition "substantially reduce[d] domestic violence."
Hell, he probably believes '1 in 4 women in college are raped' as well.
What alternate dimension do you hail from?
Rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I won't eat the filthy motherfuckers.
Note to editors: The International Business Times is a poor source for anything.
FTFY.

They sadly haven't done any of the old DX stuff on Mac with WINE, so I wouldn't hold out hope that you will see Linux releases of that.
Not that I wouldn't like that to change. Deus Ex can't be that hard to package inside of WINE.
Damnit, not again.
Holy shit, you aren't even trolling. You're sincere.
What you say is true only for social awkward geeks with their qidditch broom up their ass. Seriously, get a life.
So after I put on my wizard hat and robe, I'm supposed to do what?!
LARPing seems less fun all the time.

I'll take "Reading Comprehension Failures" for $200, Alex.
Sigh, I'm getting to old for that...
Said the newb.
You have failed to take into account the mine shaft gap.
...in global nuclear conflict there are no winners. With the possible exception for rats, cockroaches and tardigrades.
Don't forget lawyers.
He already said cockroaches.
