That might sound insightful, but it's not. It's just funny. The first verse means that the Earth was created before the first stars, which is not true. And even the second verse is not correct, as the first moments of the Universe's existence were so bright that it took millions of years for it to cool down to mere 'just hot enough to melt steel' temperature.
It's been done, multiple times in various countries. For example, Ukraine uses NSMEP (National System for Mass Electronic Payments) which requires a terminal for purchases. Turns out, that users don't like it that much.
There are reasons to think that Jupiter's heat is sustained by simple gravitational collapse, as its core gets slowly transformed into metallic hydrogen.
What's the difference? Oligopoly is just as bad if players decide not to compete too hard or in a stagnant market. And eventually they _still_ might collapse to a monopoly without regulatory oversight. Marx's predictions were spot-on, except that he discounted the possibilities of economic growth. However once it stops, his predictions immediately become reality.
How many GSM phone operators are out there in the US? Yeah, just two of them and AT&T already tried to buy T-Mobile.
You're joking, but that WAS tried before. USSR experimented with using gamma-sterilization to treat tap water. It worked fine, but turned out to be impractical, because radiation sources required for that are way too expensive.
FitBit TOS states that they might use unanimous data aggregates but my individual data is private, unless I explicitly authorize sharing. I have no problem with that at all.
Actually, no. KyNect worked without downtime on its frontend, however its backend was not very stable - as it had to interact with the federal exchange.
It will also displace lots of existing low-to-middle income tenants. Way to go. And it still won't increase supply by that much, though it will slow down the price growth. Read TFA.
But so were San-Francisco _advantages_. Yes, I read TFA. And simply turning everything over to an invisible middle finger of market will only make it all worse.
It was a verified online poll, i.e. only Venice citizens could vote and only once. They got 75% of participation - I remember reading it on some Italian blog, but I might be wrong.
Anyway, there are plenty of other examples: Kosovo independence was unanimously passed by its parliament, very own Ukrainian independence referendum in 1991 passed with 90% of approval and 80% turnover, South Sudanese referendum passed with 98% approval and so on. Wikipedia has a helpful list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I... In short, it's not unusual for independence referenda to get near-anonimous votes.
Incorrect. You get "landslides" with 55% of votes only when people have to chose between Giant Douche and Shit Sandwich.
Referenda, especially independence referenda, often get 90%+ participation. For example, just last month Putin has obviously orchestrated a non-binding independence referendum in Venice: 89% of participants voted for independence with 75% turnover ( http://rt.com/news/venice-vote... ).
No, it doesn't require any co-signatures on loans. I know from experience.
The slate is then wiped clean.
Nope, it's not wiped clean. Estate simply goes bankrupt - all the usual rules apply. Of course, inheritors don't HAVE to acquire a bankrupt estate - from their point of view it might as well not exist.
Here situation is more complex - inheritors acquired an estate that didn't appear to have debts only to find out about them later. It's an unfortunate situation, but it happens.
Doesn't matter. Estate is a temporary legal construction to administer the property rights of deceased. If inheritor chooses to come into inheritance then all the assets and debts of the estate are passed along.
Not true. All kinds of debts might be inherited, only some personal debts are automatically forgiven after death (like federal student loans). Credit card debts might be passed on to the estate, depending on state. Nursing care debts are most definitely passed on, etc.
Incorrect. If you chose to come into inheritance then you also inherit its debts. Some people do that for sentimental reasons to avoid estate being auctioned, for example. Besides, estate can later be sued in civil courts, for example for contract violations or damages caused by the estate. In a famous case a dead body was sued for damages it caused.
IRS has ability to seize the funds without going to courts first if they deem that you made a mistake or committed a fraud. However, you can then contest their actions - with all the due process.
Uhm, inherited debt has always been there, from the very start of the United States. If you inherit an estate then you also inherit its debts. It's as simple as that.
And of course, you can always refuse inheritance - then all the assets escheat to the state or to other inheritors.
Nope, the only WTF here is that it can be interpreted as an ex-post facto law. However, it's not so clear because tax violations have no statute of limitation for civil penalties. The only matter that was stopping the IRS from going after long-forgotten debts was its policy.
The fact that inheritors are responsible for the civil damages, including ones from future lawsuits, is nothing new. IRS also has power to seize funds without going to courts first, nothing new here as well. It's the combination of these two that makes a technically valid but WTFy situation.
That's not entirely correct. Most people will still charge at home during the night. Super-fast charging is probably going to be used only for long-distance travel.
Go and buy yourself a Chevy Volt - it can use carpool lanes. Ditto for plugin Priuses and Fords. They are only about $8k more than similar pure-gas cars.
Why would you care about reliability for continuous integration?
We use Amazon EC2 with spot nodes for our CI. After all, if a node dies - you can just restart the whole process on a new one. Sure, you'll lose some time, but given that 32CPU node with 64Gb of RAM can be bought for $0.3 per hour - we simply don't care.
No, the comparison is done by dry weight of both pre-cooked and post-cooked food. The main advantage seems to be the lesser need for proteolytic enzymes (protein synthesis is expensive!) and de-polymerization of starches.

They do. I once cracked a Galaxy S3 - it fell from about 2 meters. Screen was cracked and a couple of pieces fell out, yet it worked just fine.
On Earth?
Marx was a bit wrong. Global monopolies are usually too cumbersome. In reality we often get oligopoly with 2-3 large companies dividing the spoils.
As for generation, lots of localities have access exactly to one power company.
You're joking, but that WAS tried before. USSR experimented with using gamma-sterilization to treat tap water. It worked fine, but turned out to be impractical, because radiation sources required for that are way too expensive.
Several people did. There's a fitbitd Linux project: https://bitbucket.org/benallar... I tried it a couple of months ago - it works.
