Exactly. Since all tax is eventually paid by the "bottom" of the hierarchy, the solution is to push all taxes down to the bottom. No more tax evasion if everyone pays a consumption tax.
But you also have to patch multiple (sometimes many) OS instances. My thinking is, "What happens more often, Patch Tuesday or moving a service from one box to another?"
I'm lost about why sudenly so much people wants it so badly... Ok, all datacenters added specialized machines for decades because of those first two reasons I gave you above,
I thought it was because young geeks and proto-managers grew up with the Curse Of Windows, where you had to run one service per machine, and then brought that flawed mindset into the Linux world.
It requires a lot of energy to move an airliner (hell, even a small single-engine plane like the Cessna 150) fast enough to produce wing lift.
Maybe if we had direct photonic -> electrical energy conversion it would work for light aircraft on a sunny day, but no way on an airliner loaded with passengers and cargo.
What Anonymous did is no different than -- and just as wrong as -- police parading accused (often not even arraigned) criminals on "perp walks" for the television cameras, and splashing the names and faces of accused rapists across TV, print and radio.
Statements about existence of anything, made without no evidence to support them are supposed to be treated as false unless and until such evidence is provided.
Ironically, I'll quote the Bible: Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise: and he that shuts his lips is esteemed a man of understanding." Proverbs 17:28
Example: those vocal anti-tectonic geologists looked pretty foolish. OTOH, the calm Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence scientists were sage and judicious.
Now, I think it's more likely that pigs will sprout wings than an omniscient, omnipotent deity will present Himself to humanity, but still I'll stick to the Sagan Principle, all the while living as though no God exists.
Contrary to the popular belief, there indeed is no God.
Don't act like religionists and make absolute statements when you have no evidence for them. (They're the ones who are making positive statements and so must present the proof.)
with, aircraft carriers are *stupendously* noisy. In fact, one time, as they were deploying out of San Diego, they barged right over a Soviet sub waiting for them. A chunk of one of the sub's propellers was stuck in the hull for the whole deployment.
We're spending trillions on legally mandatory spending (aka "entitlement" programs), Defense and bailouts, all the while borrowing many hundreds of billions from China/Japan/etc.
Eliminate some (or a lot) of that mandatory spending, and *then* increase NASA spending.
Why not raise taxes? "Eventually you run out of other people's money."
the sad stew which is destroying "The Grand Experiment", since it's the perfect justification for control freaks to pass more and more laws restricting freedom.
A scientist, who must use precise definitions of words.
Anyway, a useful experiment would be to raise a large set of chimpanzees, some being fed store-brand organic food and the others fed store-brand "industrial" food. See which group grows bigger, stronger, smarter. It would have to be double blind so that their handlers/teachers don't know who's being fed what.
Since they eat fruit, nuts and seeds, this should be easy to do.
No, I read the whole thing. However, "lots of pesticides" was to me the most repeated meme of the article. Thus, it was what he thought was most important.
What you quote is what I think should have been the most important part of the article but he IMO gives it short shrift.

Unisys did sell x86 systems.
general hardware abstraction is invaluable.
That would be useful...

Call me old school, but Unix/Linux are multi-tasking. Why not just run multiple services on one OS directly on the metal?
The fact that ARM is now releasing their own designs for licensing means that their partners are very close to releasing shipping silicon.
2014 doesn't seem "soon".
You can make a plane that'd fly at 30 miles per hour, but why would you?
The same reason that you fly a glider: enjoyment.

That's all I can remember: we worked together 22 years ago.
Except that Aegis is for air/missile combat.

No, the Court decided correctly.
It's the law (written decades before the concept of web mail) which is archaic.
2. Free-market control of demand: You can use all the water you want, but you pay by the litre. Your usage is limited by what you can afford.
Except that where I live we've had water meters since before the 1960s.
But plenty sci-fi author is able to think up societies where this is possible
You seem to be confusing fiction with reality. (That's usually described as a mental illness.)
You know what that is called, right?
There's been a metric ass-load of effort trying to ban them. Thank the FSM for the 2nd Amendment!

I buy organic chicken to avoid antibiotic residue.
So... you don't buy it because it's more nutritious?
You just read the first two paragraphs or so.
