The flat tax is one of those things that sound great in a sound bite but are unworkable in reality. And besides, a flat tax is inherently regressive because the wealthy spend a much smaller percentage of income on necessities than poor and middle income people.
otherwise leave them alone to enjoy the labor of their hands . . . which they gained by sacrifice of time with their families, their personal well-being and sometimes their lives.
Since these folks enjoy the same public roads, military, police and fire protection, etc as everyone else, then they can help pay for them. Otherwise, they're just mooching off the public good. If it's too much to ask, they can move to some godforsaken island and fend for themselves. Libertarianism cuts both ways --- if you don't want to pay for the FDA, fine, but don't complain when your family members die from tainted medicine.
Nevermind the last 80,000,000 years... how about the temperatures of the Earth's formation? Or of the Big Bang? FAR higher. The President's LYING, I TELL YOU!
You cant have the universe without G-d
You cant have G-d without people
You cant have people without the universe....
The first is just an assertion -- where's your reasoning?
The second is interesting, as it seems to imply that people created "G-d".
As to the third, if 'people' must be part of a wider 'cosmos,' then okay.
The whole problem is economic: gun owners/makers shift the cost of fatalities/injuries to the general public. If they paid into an insurance fund that paid millions to victims, there'd be a lot less complaining.

Why, that's almost enough to run the sign that says, "Powered by Green Energy!"
I'm getting the impression that LA, Chicago and NY are going to have a long wait for this.
No, this is just for the Japanese market. American telcos continue to slumber in their golden beds.
Nuttin.
Nevermind.... it's over several years... duh
Russian GDP is $2T. 50B/2T = 2.5% of GDP for this project.
Maybe a decimal place is off somewhere?

30 nm resolution means "some" nanoscale features, not nanoscale finished objects.
Ratio of circle's diameter to its radius. Yipee.
Set your clock 1/2 hour ahead then don't mess with it.
I'd say switch to a different insecticide, Mr. Burroughs.
Can't be. Everytime I try to play one on my turntable, it just makes a terrible hissing noise.

Not all ebooks are overpriced or have DRM.
Because dudes with rifles can take down a machinegun-totin' helicopter.
It turned Mr. Borland into a millionaire overnight,
I think the name you're looking for is Phillipe Kahn.
I don't get the issue.
Unlocking just lets you use the phone with a different carrier than the one from which you bought it. It's not jailbreaking.
First prize is a Cadillac Eldorado
Second prize is a set of steak knives
Third prize is "you're fired."
Charge $5000 for a bullet

'nuff said
Books:
They rot in a couple hundred years.
Can't bludgeon bandits with them.
A little water destroys them instantly.
CLAY TABLETS FTW!
