A high standard of living can only come from high levels of production. If you don't make stuff, you don't have stuff. A government which by means of high taxes discourages production, also discourages wealth creation.
That Canada et alia have a "social welware system" is not a good reason that the United States follow their inferior example.
Here in New Hampshire, we have to wait for the soil to warm before putting tomatoes in the ground. Planting them in April instead of June assures the loss of about a month of growth. Maybe cool soil is OK deep in the tropics, but I doubt that it helps in temperate regions.
Pardoning obvious crooks would cost Bush almost all of his political backing. He would then be powerless to accomplish anything. He's not fool enough to put himself into that position.
HP's enterprise value is $52,000,000,000. Sun does not have the abilty to buy HP. HP could buy Sun, by why would HP want to buy an overvalued, declining asset?
Linux is not ownable, so how could Oracle buy it? Or did you mean Oracle buy Sun?
The so-called reforms include criminal penalties for executives. They are required to claim that the company's financial reports are true, and if they're wrong they can go to jail. So, they now have to choose one of the following three: 1. Risk jail time. 2. Waste a lot of time ensuring that their underlings aren't lying to them. 3. Quit. Honest CEOs must choose 2 or 3. Dishonest ones already face #1, so they're not affected. None of the three options help the company.
Sarbanes-Oxley is similar to the broken window falacy.
I recently switched from Adelphia digital cable to DirecTV/Tivo. I have had less trouble with blockiness in DirecTV, and the channels that were analog in Adelphia are noticeably cleaner with DirecTV. On the other hand, the Adelphia cable box (Scientific Atlanta) and the boxes on ther systems (Jerrold) sometimes have nicer operating systems: easier use of favorite channel lists, quicker methods to see what comes next on this channel, for example.
Better design HELPS. It is more likely to be read. The most important points catch the eye. It is more memorable, and therefor more likely to be acted on.
"There are enough resources in the world to feed every human alive a good diet, yet many thousands die through malnutrition every year in third world countries, because the rest of the world doesn't do enough to help them."
The primary cause of death through malnutrition is the deliberate action of dictatorial governments. The solution is to overthrow those governments and establish better ones. I doubt that such a solution would be widely tolerated.
Intel chips with Hyperthreading process the threads simulataneously.
My understanding of Intel's hyperthreading is that it is essentially an intelligent fast context switcher running in hardware. It still has to swap out registers and empty or suspend instruction queues. This means that threads are not actually executed simultaneously. AMD's single core threading has to do all that in software or just wait around until stalls are resolved.
the limited number of layers you can put on the chip wafer as it is fabricated
Over the years, the number of layers possible has grown. If crystaline silicon can be grown on top of a few layers of interconnect (new technology, AFAIK) then true 3D construction would be possible. Flaw density would be likely to rise (reducing yield), but shorter interconnects would help with power dissipation.
If it's in the equatorial plane, it can take out two by intersecting the geosynchronous orbit twice. Whether it can take out more depends upon the spacing of the satellites and the size of the asteroid. It's not going to have enough of a gravitational effect to severely alter the orbit of any satellite it doesn't strike.

Water at the deep ocean bottom is at 4 degrees C because it is the most dense. Gravity at work.
Oops, welfare, not welware.

Also notable by its absence: My Fair Lady or (better yet) Pygmalion.
For at least 40 years, liberal has meant "moderately leftist" in the context of politics in the U.S..
Closet. Basement. Commercial theatre. Attic. Having multiple exits is good, but having windows is unnecessary.
Slush.
Wealth is not a resource, it is the result of productive human activity. It is limited only by how much is created and not destroyed.
Slavery was once "enshrined" by law. Law and right are not the same thing.
Having destroyed higher education, the church was all that was left. It's like killing your parents and begging for mercy because you're an orphan.
They don't currently have an aggressive and destructive recruiting drive.

DirecTV is very near breakeven and can't afford to drop prices. In fact, they recently increased them slightly.
Note that that launch vehicle was a Zenit, a Russian rocket. Nice that they're doing good commercial work. Shameful that NASA has dropped the ball.

I wrote you that there was going to be an attack. Everthing was very clear, and the letters were all three microns high. Why didn't you do anything?

Sounds like a good reason that satellite TV dishes aren't shiny metal mirrors. Twice a year the LNA goes up in smoke (only in the tropics).
