1) The US is hardly going bankrupt.
2) Do you think the private sector has not lost $10 billion on failed projects of one sort or another in the past few years?
I've used Sony noise-cancelling headphones, and found them only marginally helpful. Foam earplugs helped block the fan noise, but, as others have commented, they can make you hyper-conscious of the sound of your breathing and your heartbeat; I also find them painful. The best solution I've found are ZEM hearing protectors. They're about $20, lightweight, and work well. They're great for planes, too.
Is it any wonder that American diplomacy so often leads to war? We literally can't talk to most of the rest of world in their languages. 500 billion dollars, tens of thousands dead; but at least we have laptop translator with which to console grieving families.
Most addictions are to do with internal emptiness, wanting to fill up dead space
This a Freudian canard. Addiction is a neurochemical phenomenon; that's not to say that some sort of therapy might not be helpful in repairing the damage caused by the addiction, but there is simply no evidence that "emptiness" is at the root of addiction.
Don't be ridiculous. There are used goods stores all over Japan. When I lived in Tokyo I bought all my furniture and appliances used, and used to hang out in Jimbocho, where there are literally hundreds of used bookstores, and quite a few stores selling used musical instruments.
The day is only so long, and this is a waste of time. One can easily fill the school day teaching things which are true but useless -- most schools do.
The more troubling implication is that this "elected representative" sees children only as consumers of knowledge and art, and not as creators in their own right.
No one was even close to the ease of use that Windows offered.
Back in 1991 or 1992, PC Magazine reviewed several GUIs for DOS, including Windows. GEOS, also known as GeoWorks, was their clear favorite. Microsoft's success has never been based on innovative technology, but on marketing.
It's not the victors who write history, but their fanboys.
I recall Jeremy Allison, author of Samba, saying that he and the other Samba developers knew the workings of the CIFS protocol much better than the MS programmers they've spoken with.
My point is, maybe the only useful spec is the code, which MS is unlikely to share.
In order to mitigate your legal liability, it might be a good idea to form an LLC (or other corporation), and not just run this business as a sole propietorship.
Since the failure rate on drives is so low, it's not hard to find someone whose half-dozen or so drives have never had a problem. Your experience is meaningless.

Which is it? (Do you have any idea what the word "citizenship" means?)
Instead of investing in "educational technology", invest the money you save and give it directly to the kids -- it will do them far more good.
Is masturbation by a minor now child abuse? Or only if I do it in school?
"flawed and therefore always needing more money?"
Somewhat like most IT departments and most software projects? People in glass houses and all.
Back in the day, we used postcards. Cheap, available everywhere, and your friends store them for you. Cutting the cord is well worth it.
Please tell me the name of your bank, so I can short its stock.
Exactly. A journalist at Stanford, for chrissakes. It's his job to puff up the Valley.

All this is a good thing. Eventually you'll realize that even you don't exist. That'll be even better.
You could just carry the tag. Or wear it. Would that be too hard?
What you do to the least of my brothers, that you do to me.
What I find most offensive is when words that are not verbs, are made into verbs
English derives its power from this sort of flexibility. There is nothing wrong with it per se, except from a prescriptivist viewpoint.

Yes, you've got it exactly right. The Japanese laws regarding used cars had the same intent, to bolster the domestic auto industry.
Don't be ridiculous. There are used goods stores all over Japan. When I lived in Tokyo I bought all my furniture and appliances used, and used to hang out in Jimbocho, where there are literally hundreds of used bookstores, and quite a few stores selling used musical instruments.
Please tell me how you know they're "liberals".

Indeed. What exactly is the problem here? Since when has anyone expected a memoir, of all things, to be accurate?

(Anyone able to find the quote?)

That should be .5%.
