10 grade social studies has nothing on basic economics. Public utility monopolies are actually better price and product wise. Any other monopoly is not a good idea, however.
No. I gave an example where half the USA seems to be divided. Very few people seem to be divided on murder and rape. I also believe in freedom from harm done by others as do may people. I do believe that there is no right and wrong, only consequences if that helps.
So all of this money you collect, you just sit there with it? Or is it invested and spent? You wipe your ass with it and throw it away? Take Paris Hilton an her family as some other commenter did. Paris Hilton may seem useless, but she will spend money that her family acquired legally and morally. She will invest some, too. As a rich person she will have a huge impact on growing the economy and keeping others in business. Secondly, the Hilton's are business people. They know how to acquire funds. True that taxes do not disappear (and I understand the tax multiplier as well). The government is not and should not be a business. The government should regulate business as to not favor anyone and make sure we have a level playing field. The government is not efficient in business and it shouldn't be. For that reason, the government should not tax. It is too bureaucratic and wasteful. Let those who know how to acquire wealth keep it, or you will not have useful innovators. It is called specialization. Let business people be business people, let those on the government regulate, let the inventors invent. Look at Dean Kamen, brilliant man who does not know business one bit. Oh yeah, if one person owned all the land, he would pay copious amounts of money just to collect rent and pay for protection. Your thought exercise is an exercise in theory, not reality.
That is my point. Not everyone has the same moral system and yet a inheritance tax to support philanthropy is just that. I gave one view on morals as a counterpoint.
Inheritance tax like many other ideas has merit to it, but when implemented is not actually a good idea. I do not stand to inherit much in the scheme of things, but would be pissed if the government took it away. I do chores and general upkeep at my parents house. I save them money and keep the house valuable. They keep money in their pocket, in banks, the stock market etc, and keep the economy going. The same goes for rich people. Just because they are filthy rich, does not mean that their kids have not help maintain some of the parents goings on. How do you judge what filthy rich is and who is deserving? Rich people keep much of their money invested and keep the economy going. That is how they stay rich. That is how Americas stays strong. There is too much bloat in the American government. Reduce that spending, because taxes are high enough. I recommend that you read Carnegie's Gospel of Wealth. The gist of it is this: The rich have a moral obligation to do good while still living, but not a financial one. Hopefully you do not believe in forcing morals on someone else. Otherwise, you stand for man and woman marriage only, no drugs, prudence, etc. and are not much for tolerance.
Let me preface this with I do believe we need to invest in all renewable energy technologies, such as wind, tidal, solar, etc. That being said, we should not throw caution to the wind. We need to explore the effects/affects of what we do. Wind generators do in fact kill birds and bats. Wind mills decrease the number of species in a given environment and can lessen biodiversity. We need to be careful and do what we can to lessen the harmful things we do to nature. It is all about trade-offs and tipping points. We must establish what the tipping point for the number of wind generators we can safely use without being detrimental to the environment.
The Federal Reserve also panders to big businesses. When the money supply is increased, big banks get the money. They loan it out to corporations and the likes. Small businesses and individuals who do not run these banks and corporations get screwed. They have to suffer and socialize the losses when the economy ebbs. During the flows, they see little of the expanded money supply. Fiat currency is a way to keep the poor and less fortunate down.
My Jack Handy reference has gone too far. Your comment was as funny as mine, but then people started taking it seriously. Mankind is truly a mysterious species.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself. Basically, it's made up of two separate words -- "mank" and "ind." What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.
You are on to something with your comment. Others have taken your point to the extreme. Studies have been done. People prefer some choice over not having any. People are happier when they do not have to make too may choices, however.
Some choice>No Choice Too few choices>Too many choices.
Making it free would cost Microsoft money. They would have to host it somewhere and pay the costs of someone accessing it for free. As mush as I dislike Microsoft, that is not fair. Those who wanted it, paid for it. Microsoft has supported this product longer than most other companies with their respective software.
Its the HD26200 from HD Communications Corp. I went to Engadget to find this myself. Its the $318, 5 mile solution that only requires a line of sight. The HD26200 is made up of two high performance Ubiquiti network radios with integrated 17dbi dual polarity antennas that are configured in wireless bridge mode. The HD26200 bridge is also powered over ethernet, so no RF cables are required, only an outdoor CAT5 cable to bring both data and power to the radios. HD Corp also has non-line of sight outdoor products.
I can think of a few reasons why. Efficiency, redundancy, power usage. The power it uses may make it worth trading up for. Parts may be hard to find if something goes wrong, same for support.

Here is an interesting article about garage economies and why they may become popular again.

Although nails can be purchased one by one, most companies measure how many pounds or packs of nails as one product.

It most likely has to do with defaults and not abilities. But that is just a conjecture on my part.

This is why Virtual Box would be useful. VMs will allow OS/2 users to receive new features/programs via other OSes.

Yes, we all threw out our early versions of HDTV with the lowly 1080i top resolution. Its not good enough when you can have 1080p.

What is an SBOOB?
I have ATT and pay 5 a month for 200 messages. If you are getting more than 20 incoming messages at 25 a month, you might just want it.

Is not the only question. What about how much are the Intel and AMD brand names worth?
I can think of a few reasons why. Efficiency, redundancy, power usage. The power it uses may make it worth trading up for. Parts may be hard to find if something goes wrong, same for support.
Was it the first or the first non-apple branded laptop, since apples now run windows? I have not tried multitouch on a macbook air, so I am curious.
