If Google is earning that money from investments overseas and spending it overseas, then there really is no problem.
The problem is companies that pretend to do that, but are really expatriating domestic profits, or failing to repatriate revenues on domestic products.
Change the rule to allow taxation on foreign investment, and you will simply kill multinational corporations in America. They'll all split into subsidiaries of a foreign holding company. There will be a Google America and a Google Everywhere Else.
Seriously, I've been to the Bay Area, and given the state of Mexican food there I don't think they've even seen a Mexican since the territory belonged to Spain.
I have the same piece of copper that they gave my house when it was built 20 years ago.
They are not willing to dig just to upgrade it to give me gigabit DSL. If they were, they'd just drop in fiber and get the massive headroom that the barely-utilized bandwidth of glass wires gives you, coupled to easily-upgradable yet current state-of-the-art lasery bits on the end.
So I'm using the TV cable for 30 mbps broadband right now, and wishing that the Corporation Commission would use its power to dissolve the LATA's monopoly so another can walk into the neighborhood and string that glass.
The U.S. was fully set up to fight Russia and China from Germany and Japan.
There were conventional components resembling slightly the logistics and tactics of WW2, but 95% of the military had been through Korea and Viet Nam and the Cold War and learned quite a bit about varied battle scenarios.
Afghanistan was a cake-walk, in a way that left the people conning it unsatisfied, so they decided to use the leftover warlike political climate to accomplish their original goal of taking Iraq for no other reason than they had a loaded weapon and nobody serious to shoot with it. But to do that, they neglected to make sure Afghanistan was really dead, and they underestimated the ability of the Iraqis to detect that they were being attacked for illegal and irrational reasons with which they did not agree. They also underestimated the world's ability to see the same thing, and threw away all the moral authority that both helps you win the battle and institute the peace. The result is that Iraq created more "terrorists" than ever existed before, and caused a backfiring of the effort in Afghanistan.
Lesson for future commanders in chief: when you know have capability but not reason, don't kill people.
The thing about million-dollar missiles is they get cheaper once you stop developing them and start using them. That is, unless you cocked up the contract negotiations, but it's illegal to do such a thing any more. Ever since TINA, the government pays the cost and a little vig.
Looked it up. Apparently the "windstalk" is conceptual at this point, unless you've got one that's called something else and answers to "piezo-electrics in new power generating wind stations".
Single-player won't evolve. Online will, as people come and go. And it will be a different experience at different times of the day, as the number and skill levels (and ping times) of participants modulate.
Make some enemies. Fight up a ladder. Start a flamewar over wall-hacking. Realize you're competing with real human beings.
Oh, and once you've gone through single-player once, this happens:
"No storyline. No progression. The same exact things over and over again."
At least with online when you get into the same situation the enemies facing you won't fall for the same diversion twice. Or maybe they will. This == Deeper.
The more time it takes people to get through single-player, the longer it takes them to start playing multiplayer online.
Lemma 2:
The more effort you put into developing challenges in the single-player mode, the less effort you can put into making sure the environment and online security are solid.
Lemma 3:
The user community makes a deeper and richer challenge in online mode than you can possibly make in single-player mode.

Hahahaha!
The Chinese are currently fucking us blind over rare-earth metals.
You want every state to have that sort of control over every other state for crucial resources?
You want border crossings at every state border?
Passports for interstate travel?
You are out of your tiny fucking mind.
one could even argue that fiscal responsibility is, itself, liberal by definition.
Which is why when liberals are in power deficits get smaller and when conservatives are in power they get much larger very fast.

They are as far to the right as the republicans these days
Stop listening to Libertarian nonsense.
Democrats tried to pass real healthcare reform.
Republicans filibustered the entire government for a year because a portion of it passed.
Anyone who even tries to equate the GOP to the Democrats is either totally ignorant, completely conned, or lying his ass off.
Exxon reported donating more to Obama than any other person in office,
FTFY

QED. As presumed from the conclusion in the title of the thread.
Shooting the interlopers who'd snapped the router cable while drilling into the silo was a possibility.
Do we really need that many routers?
Can't we route the world over like 9 times by now?
Think of the children.
How long was it up?
How long was it down?
Does the 5-9's apply to each missile, or to the mission of the fleet?
You do the math.
At this rate, is the nuclear arsenal even serving as an effective deterrent?
Is Rupert Murdoch our King yet?
No?
Then it's working.
You could try connecting to Limew--d'oh!
Uh, no.

The only way to win that game is not to play.
The thing about million-dollar missiles is they get cheaper once you stop developing them and start using them. That is, unless you cocked up the contract negotiations, but it's illegal to do such a thing any more. Ever since TINA, the government pays the cost and a little vig.
Now the profit is in selling things that need lots and lots of development, or have no plan to ever leave development.

There must be a natural law that any grammar flame must include at least one typo.
If "encompase" isn't a word, it should be. And it shouldn't just be a synonym for "encompass", either.
NO CARRIER
Yup. That's the Nazis in WW2 alright.
The Nazis never knew about Godwin's law, but they must have violated it constantly.
