I'll go with #1, but that definition of gross income (#2) is by my opinion very flawed as well gross income is everything that comes in- with no deductions in checking, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gross_income
IRS rules exclude a very few items from their narrow definition of gross income. see the wikipedia link for more
Business expenses are the cost of conducting a trade or business. These expenses are common costs of doing business, and are usually tax deductible if your business is for profit. For example, costs of renting a storefront, business travel, and paying employees are all deductible business expenses.
Under federal law, 10,000 immigrant visas per year are available to qualified individuals seeking permanent resident status on the basis of their engagement in a new commercial enterprise. This visa program is popularly called the EB-5 visa program.
Permanent resident status based on EB-5 eligibility is available to investors who have invested - or are actively in the process of investing - at least $1,000,000 into a new commercial enterprise that they have established. A new commercial enterprise includes creating an original business; purchasing an existing business and restructuring or reorganizing the business such that a new commercial enterprise results; or expanding an existing business to a certain extent. Applicants wishing to seek status as Immigrant Investors must demonstrate that their investment will benefit the United States economy and create full-time employment for not fewer than 10 qualified individuals; or maintain the number of existing employees in a "troubled business."
If the investment in a new commercial enterprise is being made in a "targeted employment area," the required investment is at least $500,000. A "targeted employment" area is either a "high unemployment area" that has experienced unemployment of at least 150 percent of the national average rate or a "rural area."
Applicants for EB-5 visa filing an application with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) must demonstrate they meet all requirements under the immigrant visa program. Investors may be granted conditional permanent residence status for two years if they meet and document the investment criteria. With timely filing to remove the conditional status, a permanent green card may be issued; five years after the initial grant of conditional permanent residence, an investor may apply for U.S. citizenship.
" WGA may serve the purpose of keeping unlicensed copies of MS Windows off the average machine. I question what use that is, since such unlicensed copies only increase perceived market share of MS, and directly increases their power."
What use that is? Killing unlicensed copies off? if you go with closed source, having 100% marketshare
won't save your biz if 100% of the copies were not paid for.
ever hear the meme/adage about internet startups that goes something like
"we lose XX dollars on every sale- we make up for it with volume"
I'm not saying I agree with WGA methodology, but I do disagree with your specific argument against it's purposelessness

Air traffic controllers could 'fly' as needed around their zone, and flights would be realtime tracked across the airscape.. coming off the nose of each plane is a solid black rod the length of the controllers area of responsibility, it would stick straight out in the crafts flight path, and also in front of each plane is a translucent cone of variable length that shows the range of reasonable alternate flight paths without severe manuveouring.
the controller could apply a layer of drastic alternatives as needed..
if the controllers "flight speed" were uncapped, they could zip around and view the traffic in their zone from any angle that let them genuinely visualize the potential overlap of flight paths. This without having to constantly compute internally what the little tiny numbers on the current gen display next to the flight meant about angle, altitude, and proximity to one another.. they could click the plane to get details, and also to communicate with the plane...

basing the 'cost' on watt hours of energy is stupid.. which has more watt hours? (the lawnmower) which has the same one container, one pair of contacts, and one manufacturing point.
now- (outta my ass numbers) it may take 4 laptop batteries to have the same watt hours as one lawnmower battery. so that is 4 containers, 4 contacts, and four manufacturing articles.
"Freezing essentially explodes the cell walls so there's nothing to revive."
Absolutely correct. The damage done in cryogenics happens at the start. It's likely not correctable going down the road with a few hundred years technology. Most substances reduce in volume when frozen/changed to a solid state, Water is a substance which expands on freezing.. The expansion upon freezing comes from the fact that water crystallizes into an open hexagonal form. This hexagonal lattice contains more space than the liquid state.
is there no way to attack this problem, by either 1.expanding cell size to allow for the minute volume increase to not burst cells 2. replacing the water in the body with an exotic substitute 3. finding a different way to freeze the water in the cells
according to this http://polymer.bu.edu/hes/articles/ds03.pdf which I get a really small fraction of - some really low temperature states of water exist that do not require water becoming a crystal, but rather a glass..
so it's IMPOSSIBLE RIGHT NOW -- it may yet be a way is found.... we''ve got what-- 1129 days left???

Youve missed the point
sites that steal text articles for webvertising pay per clicks will NOT reject, but rather welcome google in.
they would reject the company this article is about..
so if they announce the name of their spider-- any site who rejects them--
the company who is checking then goes and slams googles cache for what would be denied them via robots.txt directly live..
easy enough to search google cache and bypass the robots.txt problem....
heck.. they SHOULD proclaim the spider name-- drum up a lot of informaiton
and focus on sites that mention it in robots.txt to check from other sources
or better, a mobile phone with this software and a telephoto lens.....
it actually reduces security, because consumer grade lip reading-- means even if your phone does NOT have the software, mine might...

it's OBSCENE-- why wouldn't this law automatically include payment for such service/record keeping?
(yes, I realize that shifts the cost to taxpayers (everyone) instead of consumers (local customers) only)
but seriously- when LEOs ask for information they pay the major carriers for the taps....
why isn't this requirement reimbursable-- what is the different theory?
