"some magic fairy version of capitalism where no jobs are eliminated but everyone has a better standard of living."
You mean the actual version of captialism that actually occurred in economic history, where everyone's standard of living has actually risen and more people are actually employed?
"While you are trying to force a tax on income and that income crosses national borders it will be almost impossible to decided which tax system it should fall under."
This is one of the benefits of taxation based on registration: there's nothing to decide. You tax the company based on where they say they are located, but they have to declare this ahead of time.
"Much simpler and fairer between different nations."
1. In almost all cases the company exists in fewer countries than all of their customers. This would require a company not trying to game the system to maintain income tax accounting for vastly more countries. 2. What does "where your customers pay you" mean for an international purchase? (See the parallel arguments concerning sales tax an interstate commerce.) 3. Why shouldn't sovereign nations be allowed to have their own laws?
Merely because there were no flat-screen TV available then at any price, so if they were included in the 1969 basket of goods that would give infinite deflation.
The basket of goods in not a recent invention. it is good for econometrics because it reflects how people actually spend their money. If it fails to support the political axe you wish to grind that does not make it bad science.
If people want to be flaming assholes in public, they should grow thicker skins.It is unreasonable to engage in such behavior without expecting to be called jerks, etc.
What level of care must be taken to prevent a victim from being hectored? I submit that there is no such level, and that there will always be someone ready to blame the victim.
No matter how careful you are when crossing the street, people can still be run over.
"if you don't want people to see those photos, don't take those photos."
If you don't want people to steal your money, don't earn that money.
"I don't remember all this bullshit when it was Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, or even Kim Kardashian."
The you have a short memory. Pamela Anderson even went to court over a videotape. Since the tape itself was as stolen physical object she got that back, but blocking copies of the video proved more difficult. The best she could do is to force payment of license fees. Distribution could not be blocked since it was re-edited into a "news" story about the tape.
The bullshit baseless Apple rumors have real-world consequences. However, the people that spread them are not touched by those consequences so they will keep making shit up.
Clearly the US needs a larger defense budget so we can overwhelm any other drone operator. 100:1 or so to start with, and we can negotiate up from there.;-)
A drone swarm would have impeded the progress of the boat even without firing any weapons, so that either a) identification could be made during the delay and orders given, or b) the boat was provoked to fire itself, thus allowing return fire under the ROE.
What do you intend to pass as the result to the old functions? If you claim to still be Windows 8, then you can never deprecate any features that were in Windows 8. In that case you don't actually need to tell any calling program anything since the Windows 8 API will be present forever.

Doctors and nurses treating Ebola patients are getting vastly more exposure time than your average American.
Steal a million dollars... in a perfectly traceable currency where every transaction is public.

It's not censorship since they have to actually do their trolling first.
I've had good results with some of their phased array equipment. Then again, most people don't need a phased array.
The basic idea is
1) make up some product rumor
2) repeat it every year
3) ???
At least the underpants gnomes had an objective.
You think they just started now? So naive...
"every single person involved with marketing for the studio is incompetent."
Yes, but they cry themselves to sleep on beds made of money.

He was never a valuable source for anything, which is why it was shocking to find out he became a paid shill. Who would pay for that crap writing?
"I think PETA badly dilutes its message by frequently saying borderline ridiculous statements."
They should stick to plainly and completely ridiculous statements.

" It cannot just mark all advertisement as spam"
Advertisements in email are competition, not revenue. Google's incentives and your own are aligned.
"no need for the systemd opponents to get their panties in a bunch"
Clearly you are taking away their freedom to bunch their panties!
For any other Free software, the default response to complaints is "So where are your patches, asshole?"

Why do you hate Henry Kissinger?
People need to stop the BS line that the title of a patent is a claim.
