If you use accrual basis you can then (in theory) report the kickstarter funds as deferred revenues and also defer the tax until goods/services are delivered. Only a cash based business would need to pay tax prior.
Twenty years to wait? Whatever technology is used for the probe and its sensors is going to be technologically obsolete countless times over by 2034. Honestly if you can't drum up funding for this and get it built and launced inside of five years shouldn't you just hang it up?
I think we need to go back to the beginning with this "study" and show why anyone slaving as an Amazon Turk would be representative of the larger population (of somewhere).
Ripper: Mandrake? Mandrake: Yes, Jack? Ripper: Have you ever seen a Commie drink a glass of water? Mandrake: Well, I can't say I have, Jack. Ripper: Vodka, that's what they drink, isn't it? Never water? Mandrake: Well, I-I believe that's what they drink, Jack, yes. Ripper: On no account will a Commie ever drink water, and not without good reason. Mandrake: Oh, eh, yes. I, uhm, can't quite see what you're getting at, Jack. Ripper: Water, that's what I'm getting at, water. Mandrake, water is the source of all life. Seven-tenths of this Earth's surface is water. Why, do you realize that 70 percent of you is water? Mandrake: Good Lord! Ripper: And as human beings, you and I need fresh, pure water to replenish our precious bodily fluids. Mandrake: Yes. (he begins to chuckle nervously) Ripper: Are you beginning to understand? Mandrake: Yes. (more laughter) Ripper: Mandrake. Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rainwater, and only pure-grain alcohol? Mandrake: Well, it did occur to me, Jack, yes. Ripper: Have you ever heard of a thing called fluoridation. Fluoridation of water? Mandrake: Uh? Yes, I-I have heard of that, Jack, yes. Yes. Ripper: Well, do you know what it is? Mandrake: No, no I don't know what it is, no. Ripper: Do you realize that fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face?

And we are to blame the suits? In Lehman's case if he were a horse I would ask if he was taking Lasix to get the 6 09.73
Consider that athletes, like horses, do not always perform at their best on race day. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Beyond the myriad physiological reasons, ice is not the same rink to rink, skate blades can be sharpened differently with different interactions between the ice and the athlete's legs and so on.
Really? You don't think we already have socialized education in the US? Can I not pay my property taxes? Can I not pay state sales/income tax? Federal? Where exactly do you think all this money comes from? Who has backed stopped over $1 Trillion in student loans? At amazingly low rates? (They are uncollateralized just like credit cards but have rates 1/2 to 1/3 of a credit card).
I want the least amount of government involvement in education as possible and whatever there is should be at the lowest possible level, ie municipality.
For fifty to sixty years now government on all levels, Feds in particular have tried over and over to "fix" education. And what has happened every single time? It has gotten worse and/or more expensive. GET THE FUCK OUT OF EDUCATION. That this suggestion comes from a nominal business magazine like Forbes is even more abhorent (Malcomn Sr must be rolling in his grave).
No, it is not. That was not the pilot, the "story" is a long lecture on the laser pointer scare and we have no idea if the injury was, in the end, serious. And really, you are transporting a patient to another hospital and you have to off load the medic, a most baffling 2.5 miles from the final destination hospital?
So no, this does not qaulify as "good enough".
To the other commenters talking about very high power lasers and their possible nefarious uses - should the penalty (if there even should be one) for squirting someone with a water pistol be the same as shooting them with a 357 magnum or an AR-15? Yet the feds want to fine everyone 10K because someone, somewhere, someday might actually use something that acutally does fuck someone up. And we all know that there is no such thing as "unintentional" when it comes to the government/police.
The LHC was designed to find and study the Higgs and there is no reason to say it cant "properly study" the Higgs. That is like saying that the Tevatron was unable to properly study the top.
This effort is way to early and honestly it just looks like an attempt to grab attention and funding from any future linear collider(s).
oh no.. common sense? That's probably a 25K fine. And those who "cite" anything just keep ranting about "some helicopter pilot who was incapacitated". Perhaps the laser "attack" was just an excuse for something else? Or a desire to get attention? It would hardly be the first time someone claimed injury for publicity.
The SSC was to be a 40TeV machjine (20 per beam). Regardless, CERN are being a bunch fo fucktards with this proposal as they can't even point to what it will be good for as they a) haven't even hit their own design energies and luminosities and b) have yet to take sufficient data to have a clue what the next (if any) hadron collider should look like.
I am so tired of these "how can we get women interested in... " subjects. Science. Math. Programming. Uncle. Women will be interested in those things when it actually interests them. In many ways these discussions are totally degrading towards women as it makes things out to be that "if only we could show them...." or "if we only gave them a leg up..." Do you think women are stupid? They can't figure out what they like or don't like? Or that without preferential treatment they will go elsewhere?
In the intervening period, a work has either become too important to hoard or too worthless to justify being a burden on anyone.
After 20 years, it's time for you to allow the next group of people to have the advantages that you were allowed.
Wow.. and who made you the decider of these things Commrade Jedidiah? Who gives you the right to say what I should or should not do with my creations? And what are these "advantages that I was allowed"? Did someone else do the work that I did not notice or pay?
What happens when they take the wall wart away? How are they going to power this stuff in the field? And will that power system be hardened enough for combat while still being transportable?
Shocking that an inventor would look to the government to play decider.
More appropriate would be that industry offer students cash to go against their tuition for majoring in a certain field. I would suggest the money only be payable in arrears if a pre-determined average is achieved. One could also prorate, paying more for each year of course work completed.
But as long as education is subsidzd by the taxpayer there is no reason for industry to contribute.
Ice can be controlled by dumping salt (if available), sand or dirt - or a mixture of any of them. In fact, in more northern areas dirt is frequently used as most available followed by sand.
Again, Atlanta is completely lame. They have trucks and can mostly certainly afford plow attachments for a relatively small percentage of them. Likewise hoppers for material to put on ice. They don't need to do every road, just the hiways and primaries.
terms like "synthetic" vs "real" make me cringe. Did they make synthetic tops at Fermilab and higgs at LHC? I'll reserve my excitement for some credible review of this claim and paper.
Talk about deflecting blame. What does NYC use? Garbage scows. So metro Atlanta couldn't manage to outfit some of their trucks to take a plow and handle the main roads/hiways? Sounds more like sticking your head in the..snow?

This kind of whining is really embarassing.

ha.. and both corrections by Anonymous Cowards. What do you guys have to hide? Hmm?
NSA and GCHQ almost certainly at the behest of the Fed and BoE.
or risk a 10K fine

Besides leaving out that the uncertainty in the reported measurements is still very large, this article is about as poorly written as possible.
Electrons do not "spin" like footballs and quarks do not go zippity doo da.
"They even updated the explicitly unsupported NPAPI GNU/Linux version. "
Afraid of pissing off one of the GNU zealots?
The police are not permitted to intentionally harrass or harm persons and property unless directly threatened.
Quilting?
