That generally won't work, because when you get your $10k back, it counts as income and so you'll have to pay tax on it. This means you'll be paying the $4k which you would have had to pay 5 years ago anyway...
No, this idea is a good one - tax in most countries is progressive, so the more you earn, the higher your level of taxation - though an accountant can usually make income move from one year to another without having to do this kind of thing.
Try to get some exotic hardware working on linux, and you better hope you know how to compile stuff, as you're going to need it.
Ooh help! I have to compile something! Can you do that on a computer now? Does it say you're supposed to do that? Will I get in trouble? Help help I'm so confused! I'm trying to use a piece of equipment that no one - out of millions of people - has ever used with this operating system but I don't know how to compile! Help! Help! If only I was using Windows everything would be perfect and life would be easy, oh, how I curse the day I got on the clue train.
I've never agreed with the convential use of the term "artificial". To me, everything is natural, there is no artificial. It's our human ego that makes us think that our tools and creations are somehow special.
I think part of the semantic mess is that people accept 'Natural' and 'Artificial' as a dichotomy. Artificial comes from Latin artificium, which means craftsmanship. Nature comes from Latin natus, which means, essentially, in-born. Like most dichotomies, one aspect is ideologically superior. Which is better? Natural or artificial flavoring?
Seriously, did the textures they use start off as photos of real life objects? Then this isn't an all-artificial movie.
Photographs are artificial. If you're arguing that they are not artificial because they refer to real objects, then you might as well demand an entirely artificially-generated language be created for the dialogue.
No, SCSI is "plug and then realize you hadn't shut down the computer and now your internal SCSI drive is screwed up so incredibly thoroughly that you have to reformat it and reinstall your system and then find that the external device only works with a SCSI terminator but only when it's sitting on top of your desk because when you move it it suddenly decides that it would rather not have a terminator after all and meanwhile how come I have a dozen 50-pin cables and only one 25-pin which is the one I need two of?"
Tyrell: Death. Well, I'm afraid that's a little out of my jurisdiction, you--
Roy: I want more life, fucker.
Tyrell: The facts of life. To make an alteration in the evolvement of an organic life system is fatal. A coding sequence cannot be revised once it's been established.
Roy: Why not?
Tyrell: Because by the second day of incubation, any cells that have undergone reversion mutations give rise to revertant colonies like rats leaving a sinking ship. Then the ship sinks.
Roy: What about EMS recombination.
Tyrell: We've already tried it. Ethyl methane sulfonate as an alkylating agent and potent mutagen. It created a virus so lethal the subject was dead before he left the table.
Roy: Then a repressive protein that blocks the operating cells.
Tyrell: Wouldn't obstruct replication, but it does give rise to an error in replication so that the newly formed DNA strand carries the mutation and you've got a virus again. But, uh, this-- all of this is academic. You were made as well as we could make you.
Roy: But not to last.
Tyrell: The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long. And you have burned so very very brightly, Roy. Look at you. You're the prodigal son. You're quite a prize!
That's why i stopped buying sony stuff that has there propertary memory stick.It is overpriced and infirior.Sony makes good stuff but memory stick and other unneccesary propertary stuff makes me not wanna get there products.
INTERCAL's main advantage over other programming languages is its strict simplicity. It has few capabilities, and thus there are few restrictions to be kept in mind. Since it is an exceedingly easy language to learn, one might expect it would be a good language for initiating novice programmers. Perhaps surprising then is the fact that it would be more likely to initiate a novice into a search for another line of work. As it turns out, INTERCAL is more useful (which isn't saying much) as a challenge to professional programmers.
Which is probably why New York's finest are usually busy issuing tickets to pregnant women for sitting down, bar owners for allowing dancing, seniors in the park feeding pigeons, or for that most heinous of crimes, sitting on milk crates.
Ingredients 20-30 million dinosaurs (various species) Iridium seasoning Garlic salt Chili powder
Directions Place the dinosaurs in an oven-safe planet. Shake the seasonings until all the dinosaurs are evenly covered with a light layer of iridium. On top of that, shake on a little bit of garlic spice (not too much since it is salt). On top of that, add a few hearty shakes of chili powder to cover the animals lightly. Place the planet in the oven on the broil setting. It's important to place the planet in the middle of the oven so that it is not too close to the top broilers or it will burn. Let the dinosaurs cook for about 15 minutes on one side or until they start to get a little bit crisp. Flip the dinosaurs over in the planet and spice the back side like you spiced the front. Toss them back in the oven for another 10 minutes or until slightly crisp. Pull the planet out of the oven and flip the dinosaurs over a few times in the juice.
Kildall was offering CP/M. QDOS - the Quick and Dirty Operating System - was written by Tim Paterson for the 8086. Microsoft licensed it and hired Paterson to port it to the 8088. IBM then debugged it. The plane / surfing / picking his nose and eating it stories are not true; Gary Kildall never handled any of the business dealings and left all that stuff to his wife and their attorney.
Or, if they ask their partner Apple nicely, perhaps Mac OS X!
Or without asking, NextStep. IBM licensed it from Next back in 1988 to use on their RS/6000s. If they had delivered, IBM would have been marketing essentially a PowerPC* OS X** machine back in the 80s, though probably in a more expensive form than your $1299 iMac.
Isn't it possible to EULA out the RIAA from these networks?
Sounds like a server on Hotline or Carracho:

France gets 90% of its electricity from non-polluting sources, exports tons of electricity to its neighbors, and has some of the lowest electricity prices in Europe.
You're listening to the nuclear lobby. Try getting some figures yourself, like these
You've bartered some useful systems support for some potentially dangerous new-age quackery. You might as well stock up on homeopathic medicine, have a tarot reading and schedule a phrenology consultation.
1: Fossil fuels aren't necessarily fossil. It's possible that oil is produced in a way that doesn't involve life. Abiogenic theory might turn out to be correct after all. Remember how in the 1960s everyone believed "the oil is going to run out in forty years"?
2: We're not choking as much as you think.
3: There were despots in the middle east before the Oil Age began.
4: If TMI was (if you will excuse the pun) blown out of all proportion, what about Chernobyl?
I agree that the anti-nuclear lobby can be mischevious, but that's one of the aspects of lobbies. At the other extreme, arguing that if we embraced nuclear power then we would be living in paradise is also well, I mean, hello?, look at France. They have totally bought into nuclear power and they still can't come up with a good pop song or a decent car.
Riiiiiight. So the fact humans are related to other animals on Earth is a coincidence? Or did we evolve from an ancient alien seed and yet somehow retained the ability to interbreed with alien races despite the fact we can't interbreed with our nearest related species?
I'm not dissing Star Trek for the dodgy science - I understand that the show is a modern mythology and suspension of disbelief is required - but to start to complain about logical shortcomings is like handing out a speeding ticket at the Indy 500.
... have completely killed this series, because nothing makes sense anymore...
Yeah, all the aliens speak English and can interbreed, spaceships "fly" around, stars whiz past at warp speed and every planet has a breathable atmosphere. This is logic central.
BRUSSELS (AP) - Scientists at the European Space Agency expressed regret today at reports that England defender Rio Ferdinand would not be selected for the Mars Express mission later this year. ESA based the decision on Ferdinand's failure to attend a scheduled drug test.
It had been hoped that Ferdinand's free style would provide a much needed boost to Earth's defence record. Instead the ESA probe will use a European-style sweeper system based around either the Beagle 2 robot or David Seaman, depending which is found to be the most expendable.

Here are the numbers:
Projected PDA Sales:
Apple: 0
Sony: 0
Microsoft: >0
As you can see, Sony has now caught up with Apple.
Do you see this as a clear sing, that Microsofts Pocket PC is slowly winning the PDA operating system war?
It shows that Sony is ahead of Microsoft in the PDA market. Sony has now caught up with Apple.
That's why i stopped buying sony stuff that has there propertary memory stick.It is overpriced and infirior.Sony makes good stuff but memory stick and other unneccesary propertary stuff makes me not wanna get there products.
