They consent. That's what marriage is all about. And that's why there usually are "penalties" when a marriage ends. You can't consent to being raped or murdered or beaten, but marriage is (unless other arrangements are specifically made) a sharing of all matters financial. Try getting out of that loan your husband defaulted on when the bill collectors come around by saying "but that was him not me!".
For the same reason your boss shouldn't sleep with his secretary. It can be argued that it wasn't exactly voluntary if there was financial dependence. There's a special name for that relationship and it's called prostitutio- er I mean marriage.
If you go around suggesting what other people should do for their health I hope you are equally as willing to accept that people tell you what you should do for your health. See it works both ways.
When I was a kid that was called "being a nosy son of a bitch and butting into people's business". Live your life, and let other people live their lives. Now as a physician I only go around informing people of what they already know they should do for their health during office hours. These people don't listen to me - why the hell do you think they will bother listening to you?
The "other" plane was claimed by Russia to have been spotted on radar was determined to be an Su-25 (a CAS/ground attack plane that many argue could not have reached a high enough altitude to attack MH17) NOT an Su-27 which is an air superiority fighter easily capable of reaching MH17's altitude and then some. The Su-25 does not have a "twin tail" configuration which is why the BS claimant for this pic changed it to Su-27, which was never claimed. So bullshit and more bullshit - but hey it's on the internet it must be true.
Altering the past to suit present agenda. When that story "broke" it was pitched as US proof of a RUSSIAN MiG-29 shooting down MH 17. NOW it's being pitched as Russian proof of a Ukrainian Su-27. Ukraine has very few SU-27's and most of them were grounded.
Long story short - bullshit still smells like shit. Why is this even on slashdot? Oh yeah, BIZX...
You're really good at spotting fools in hindsight, a real gift.
You're really good at making frivolous remarks. OK it's the cautious people who get burned in market swings - every damned time. Yeah that makes sense. No hindsight is required, but certainly post facto inane remarks seem to be essential.
Of course it didn't. But the guy who got hurt in the economic crash is the fool. The guy who kept his gold and didn't borrow too much did just fine right through the crash and beyond. Nowadays it seems we reward the fools for being foolish and punish the cautious.
This only works for old coins. Modern coins are so adulterated that the currency would have to crash very hard indeed for you to cover smeltering costs with the value of the nickel/copper/silver in them. Tin is very, very cheap.
You don't need the word "compounded" when talking about growth. It is ASSUMED. Bacteria, for example, do not suddenly hold a meeting and only let the older bacteria reproduce. They all reproduce. Ergo - compounded. Economies do not grow simply as a function of their first year. Stock prices do not go up only as a percentage of their IPO price. While the traditional saying about assumptions usually applies, there are some things you must assume in order to function smoothly as a human being. Pedantry, as the previous poster pointed out, is only a stumbling block for the pedant. Everyone else seems to manage to make that leap.
Your argument is a bit pedantic. You state that "compound interest" is exponential. Talk to me about economic growth over time. Is that simple interest? Does an economy suddenly stop growing at the end of a year? Does an economy only grow as a percentage of it's first year's growth - forever? No, it follows the "compound interest" formula. Growth is EXPONENTIAL. Any type of growth or decay works this way - as a function of itself: the very definition of exponential. In fact, the EXCEPTION is "simple interest". No one uses simple interest, except for maybe someone who bought a certificate of deposit and spends all his interest.
Let X = the population of your town, which grows constantly at 5% a year
Next year's growth = X + (X * 5/100)
But what if you want to know the growth after 11 years? Well, you could crank through the formula 11 times, or you could do this:
Recognize that your percentage is constant for each 11 years so let's just call it R and simplify the formula: X +(X*R) which can be rewritten X(1+R) oh dear is this starting to look like something? You can then notice that instead of re-writing this 11 times, you could just substitute n = 11 as an exponent X(1+R)^n....oh dear oh dear this is exactly the formula for "Future Value" given a present value, a rate of interest and a time period. You don't think this is exponential? OK. Solve for n.

Just because they put it on your plate doesn't mean you have to eat it.

Ahh yes, be sure to read the fine print on the donor card.

It starts with your mom and dad being too cheap to pay for a condom?
Downloading Steam games to play PC games under linux on a PS4... use an xbox controller to play that game and the universe might just end.
But will the toilet be smart enough to deal with this.
Plagiarism, or syndication?
No that just means you're a zero. Kind of like being stillborn. Yeah you were born first, but...
That's on a completely separate circuit, and that water does not leave the plant unless there's some critical emergency. It's radioactive, see.

I have no problems. (But - but the hackers and trojans and etc etc) Heh, i'll take my chances.
The developer should be extradited
Why? He didn't hack a movie studio or a music studio, nor did he hack the government. Extradited, hahahahahahahahaha oh wait you were serious...
Microsoft gets blamed for security holes all the time, and these are exploited by 3rd parties. Your last point makes no sense.
This is just a bill of attainder. Congresscritter should know better.

By the way I left out the words OVER TIME in the above post. I hope this hasn't made it too difficult for you.
