This is Fedora. I've had several cases where the supplied source code won't compile (or won't even configure). The binary runs, the source won't compile - go figure.
You've hit the nail on the head. All too many projects get to the point where nobody is willing to fix the last few bugs, and when a bug is fixed it breaks other stuff.
Ever tried PulseAudio Multiband EQ? It acts as if there is an internal register that slowly saturates, becomes so distorted after 5 or 10 minutes that audio is unrecognizable.
Reserved seating sucks. Unless you're familiar with a particular theater, you don't know where the good seats are. You don't know until you get into the theater that the person in front of you is 7 feet tall and wears a top hat, or that the person on your left you weighs 400 pounds and talks and farts without pause, or that the person on your right is pulling his pants down, or that behind you are children spilling their gallon soft drinks and resting their feet on your shoulder.
What becomes of nominal profits depends a lot on what is being taxed.
At one time (the 1970's?) inventories started being taxed. One result was that warehouses full of books were destroyed, because publishers couldn't afford to maintain that inventory.
High taxes doesn't necessarily mean business investment, it can mean more non-cash bonuses for executives: Here's another $100 million in stock options and a $50 million house to live in but not own. High taxes can encourage waste, because high taxes reduce the marginal utility of efficient operation.
Of course! The government is the only organization that funds basic research! And the government's lack of profit motive ensures that all the research will be useful.
The essence of government is protecting its citizens from aggression, everything else is thieving hogwash. The military should be 99% of the budget, with the remaining 1% dedicated to things like keeping the Capitol Building heated.
More women than men want government to be "daddy". Women can't rightfully be denied the vote and other rights, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the results are good.
Having a the federal government as a single point of attack gives wackos a tremendous opportunity for destruction. The process goes something like this:
Widows and Orphans for the Environment, Inc. sues the EPA and ICC for allowing coal mining and for allowing coal to be transported across state borders. The EPA and ICC want to lose the case and either provide a poor defense or just enter a consent decree. Coal companies and railroads aren't even involved in the suit, yet they get crushed by the decision.
Economics is a political football. Good work in economics is ignored if those in power get more advantage from promoting the "work" of economic fools.
Certain economic principles like the advantages of division of labor are well established and widely accepted. Other things, like "is a national debt advantageous?" are complex enough to be deliberately obfuscated.
Illegal immigrants cost taxpayers $113 billion annually, $29 billion at the federal level and $84 billion at state and local (2013). Combined with a successful deportation program, the wall will pay for itself in under a year.
Trump is recovering allies - Israel and Great Britain for instance - that Obama was all too happy to spit on. The Arab enemies that Obama tried to befriend regard Obama as a fool who can be taken advantage of.
The United States is not now and never has been a democracy. The founders wisely and deliberately avoided creating a democracy.
Average Americans did vote for Trump. Democrats tend to attract the mentally disturbed and other people who can't hold a job, and the people who've spent more than four years in college being subjected to intensely biased left wing professors. Republicans tend to attract people in the middle, the average.
Sooner or later, a country suffering from consumer drone attacks is going to find a way to track down the person launching them. A "swarm of drones" attack is going to attract a lot of attention. It won't be pleasant for the perpetrator, if he lives.
Banning the vectors is good. Also helping would be not having large groups of very young children spending a lot of time in the same building. From a disease standpoint, preschool is a bad idea.
Something doesn't seen right here. Isn't energy quantized? If so, then an inability to get to absolute zero (quantum state zero) means that quantum state number one is the lowest possible energy level. Wouldn't quantum state number one then be absolute zero?
What prohibits something from being at quantum state zero? If two things at quantum state #1 interact, might not one of them subsequently be at state zero and the other at state 2?
Does temperature actually have a meaning in the context of single atoms?

C is a subset of C++. To get a true indication of popularity, add the numbers for those two together, and nothing else is even close.

Closed captions for porn. And free dildos.
Your point is valid, but taking advantage of a flaw in the law in order to do evil is still evil.

Dead people that the military would otherwise protect don't pay taxes.

Of course people bought in, it was free money for banks. The fed is controlled by bankers.
If inflation is higher than the interest rate, the lender is being cheated.

Your comment would be funny if it the truth weren't so sad.
Planned Parenthood was founded to discourage blacks from breeding.

Teaching history would also help.

Heat death is when there is no temperature differential and no way to make a temperature differential, not that there is a zero temperature.
Your mindset condemns you and nobody else.
