Many of your suggestions are right on, particularly regarding communicating only in writing, whether it's on paper or email. A good book about people like this is Coping with Infuriating, Mean, Critical People by Nina W. Brown.
It's the weight that causes road damage.

The DIY Tank
·
· Score: 5, Informative
The treads appear to be smooth and since his tank isn't heavy like a real, armored tank, it's not likely to do much damage. In the video, it appears to grind the pavement slightly when he spins in place. The treads look to be about a foot wide and there's at least five feet of contact on each side. That would give him around 1440 square inches of contact area. If his tank weighs a ton (the "armor" is plywood, after all), it is exerting less than 1.4 psi (about half what a person does).
With manual counting, you need to arrange for voluteers and sometimes pay them a small stipend. With electronic voting, you need to arrange for voluteers and sometimes pay them a small stipend AND a company sells millions of dollars of equipment and support. Guess which one is doing more lobbying.
In general, women will overlook ugly, as long as he's smart, well-behaved, making his own way financially, and helps around the house. Rich is a bonus.
Like most of the other postings, I've always trusted the people that I work with, from ice cream scoopers at Baskin-Robbins to microprocessor logic designers. That said, one day I came to work (at a rural high school) and realized that a new monitor was missing from my office which is almost always locked. Did I misplace it? Did a teacher "borrow" it? Did the young man that works for me steal it? Did a student somehow snatch it?
To make a long story short, the monitor, a digital camera and an air compressor from the shop were stolen by a sheriff's deputy (the sheriff's department had an office in the building and so, had keys). He's in jail now, nailed by a security camera we were testing. It was pretty shocking since I knew several deputies (not this one, though) and would trust them with anything and everything. They were extremely disappointed by this bad actor.
You forgot #3: Someone realized, "If the wrong kind of person read these emails, the word that might pop into their head is 'treason' or at least 'malfeasance'. Let's make sure it gets destroyed."
A USB Zip drive might work. Seems like those worked on the original iMac.
Using the ethernet port, look for a file server that supports AppleTalk. The simplest would be a Mac with AppleTalk enabled and a shared folder. A Windows NT or 2000 server can do this. Or a Linux box with netatalk (http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/). Make sure AppleTalk is enabled on your friend's computer and use the Chooser to connect.
Just apply and see what happens. You will probably find that if MIT accepts you, the money is not a problem. Getting accepted is your real challenge.
My kid applied to five schools, one of which was private and expensive (about the same as MIT, actually) and the others public. The scholarship and grant aid offered by the private school made it a toss-up. Guess where he went.
"Call it what you will, but I call a refund amount of >100% welfare".
Would you rather they not work at all and just collect 100% welfare instead of offsetting it with some wages?
Wages + EITC > Welfare Cost Isn't it meant to be an incentive to work instead of just getting welfare? It's a consequence of not having a living minimum wage. That is, taxpayers get to make up the difference, not the companies that hire people at minimum wage. In effect, taxpayers are subsidizing low wage companies.
The big problems are corporate welfare, borrowing to pay huge off-budget military expenses, earmarks, and $600 per taxpayer give-away payments that are by-and-large going to go straight to China.
"...all of which continue to "fly" at 25,000 miles per hour."
Whether it is one piece or thousands, the satellite is already at a sub-orbital velocity (ie,less than about 17,000 mph) and is constantly slowing due to drag. It will be entering the atmosphere within a few days/weeks no matter what. It's sort of a very slow death-spiral.
BTW, 25,000 mph is the escape velocity for the Earth.
Agreed that a reduction isn't likely. They have to make their overhead + profit from the 95%, so their fee for those people should be whatever is reasonable for that usage level. Heavy users should pay the marginal cost of the additional bandwidth (which is probably not a lot, but must be something).
When we ran a small dialup ISP, we had a handful of people (the 5%) who were really upset when we raised our rates for being online more than 200 hours a month (90% were under 50 hours a month). We had to explain that it didn't make sense for us to let them be online 24/7 and charge them $20 when it cost us $30 just for the phone line they were calling in on. We dropped people when they went inactive, but there were still families where the mom ebayed Beanie Babies all day, the kids gamed in the evening and the dad gamed most of the night. We decided it wasn't fair for our other customers to subsidize them.

Unbibium is just a placeholder. A permanent super heavy name would be something like cheneyum.
The usual way: smoke and mirrors.
Do you mean Betty Jo Bialowski?

Well? Was he? The rest of us would like to know!

Really, what this law is is an attempt to criminalize a culture of borrowing without permission.
Yep, the Democrats may be tax and spend (balanced budget), but the Republicans are borrow and spend (corporate welfare).

Rest assured that these laws *will* be updated when some really valuable copyrights come close to expiring.

Don't forget people who work or volunteer in a school (in WA, anyway), ever had a background check for a security clearance, etc., etc.
