The township has a certain set of fixed costs which it has to meet every year.
Taxes are set so as to raise that amount, apportioned as decided by the lawmakers and voters.
People who fail to pay on unreported improvements aren't adhering to the agreed-upon social contract, placing a larger requirement for payments/burden on those who are.
If you don't like the taxes in an area, move, or participate in your local government to get things changed.
He'd written everything from operating systems to end-user applications and had a well-thumbed first printing of Knuth's TAOCP: Vol. 1 and was the person I brought my royalty check (for finding an error and a point of improvement in _Digital Typography_) in to work to show.
Now, now, you can't go criticizing sports teams when the N.F.L. is a non-profit organization which exists for the good of the game and to enhance the beneficial effects which the game has on society, right? I'm sure the goals of the other sports organizations are as noble and that their bookkeeping is similarly transparent.
I'm sure that it's some bizarre, pestilential outside influence which has banned community ownership of teams (save for the grand-fathered-in Greenbay Packers) and required that a minimum percentage of a team be owned by a single individual.
``Almost no one'' != none, therefore, some people are using Haskell in HFT by your own admission.
I cited a source which noted Haskell is used for such --- do you have a citation for that number / proportion being very low?
Looking through the first page of Google search results for ``high frequency trading programming languages'' Haskell is noted as being advantageous for its ability to prove correctness of a program.
Most of the code driving that is written in Haskell, which is just criminal, since it's some very bright people writing that code, and they're not contributing in any meaningful way to humanity, just fiddling bits to determine who has how much of what money at the end of each trade.

Classic old saw is that the only tool in a workshop which can duplicate itself is a lathe --- hence the Gingery books starting w/ making a lathe using investment castings:
The clear one was just scraps and poplar craft boards --- I'd love to do it again w/ a nice piece of maple and wrap the grain all the way around, but the red oak was much cheaper, but I found the grain boring enough that I went for the dark, dark finish (which is more delicate than I was anticipating...).

Seeing photos of these always reminds me of Hal Clement's hard SF short story ``The Mechanic'' --- still copyrighted though, so not at: http://www.unz.org/Pub/AnalogS...
Well worth tracking down a copy of the book _Space Lash_ to read it though.
Powerful argument for why such fines should never have been allowed to be added directly into budgets, but always should have gone into the general fund to reduce the tax requirement for the next year.
- cast bullets on your stove
- turn cases on a lathe
- a firearm can be made from a truck axle and some spring steel w/ a file and some patience --- better/more tools make it easier
However, one doesn't read highway signs at arm's distance.
Also, lower resolution reduces the amount of information which one can fit on a given highway sign and diminishes legibility by obscuring finer details.
The human can distinguish the difference in character shapes at resolutions up to ~2,000 dpi --- see Smeijer's book _Counterpunch_ for an examination of this.
Current smart phones aren't quite able to adequately represent typeface designs w/ subtle curves such as Optima at text sizes, and engravings become a pixellated blurry mess compared to the sharp originals, some of which require extraordinary printing techniques such as two black plates to capture.
Given that China's recent supercomputer can't find enough work at the rates they have to charge to cover their electric bill, it seems to me that any such problem would be as simple as pulling the plug and waiting for the batteries to die down.
I'm also mystified as to how one gets a deterministic device to have volition and self-awareness --- Heinlein could handwave this by declaring that after a certain number of transistors a device ``woke up'' and became aware (The Moon is a Harsh Mistress), Marvin Minsky sidestepped it neatly (The Turing Option), and Victor Milán had to posit algorithms which produced random results and bolt on a radioactive cannister whose decay was used as a source of random input (The Cybernetic Samurai).
I had to build one when the local PBS affiliate reduced their power output when the other stations went digital --- also location, had to run a cable upstairs and put the antenna behind the sofa (have to move it to the window when the weather is bad --- my wife won't let me hang it on the wall).

Three words:
High frequency trading
Most of the code driving that is written in Haskell, which is just criminal, since it's some very bright people writing that code, and they're not contributing in any meaningful way to humanity, just fiddling bits to determine who has how much of what money at the end of each trade.

Had a copy of Book 2 a long while ago and gave it away --- always rather regretted that.
Actually, Tolkien collaborated on sheet music w/ Donald Swann:

actually humming out tunes which Swann adapted when Swann's take on things didn't match his.
The Shapeoko 2 works well for milling circuit boards (esp. if one upgrades the spindle): http://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/i...
Precisely adding solder paste should just be a variation on an extruder: http://www.shapeoko.com/wiki/i...
and here's one example of using the machine for pick and place: http://www.shapeoko.com/forum/... (using an aquarium pump for vacuum).
Anyone know how to add this new category to those which one follows?

Explosives are simple kitchen chemistry.
Firearms aren't that much more difficult:
- cast bullets on your stove
- turn cases on a lathe
