Here's the deal, I'll pretend that government is "company" when they let me opt out of their laws and their taxes.
Absolutely. That is called freedom. A few, basic laws maintained by a minimal government requiring minimal taxes. Even better if the government can generate the funds on its own. Now you're thinking like a Libertarian, hooray.
Its primary objective is to take care of them, not to earn money.
That is only the primary objective of a socialist government. The primary objective of the US Government is to defend the country, the people, and their freedom.
To do the job, though, they need money, which should come from those it takes care of - the citizens.

Interesting note: Apparently Stephen Hawking did provide his voice for that episode.
Sad note: Stephen Hawking hasn't provided HIS voice for anything in many decades.
Interesting note: Hawking was also featured in an episode of the Simpsons. Groening must be a fan. Who wouldn't be?
Council: Stephen Hawking! Skinner: The world's smartest man! Lisa: What are you doing here? Hawking: I wanted to see your utopia, but now I see it is
more of a Fruitopia. Skinner: [chuckles] I'm sure what Dr. Hawking means is -- Hawking: Silence. I don't need anyone to talk for me, except
this voice box. You have clearly been corrupted by
power. For shame. Homer: Larry Flynt is right! You guys stink!
Another interesting note... Stephen Hawking is British! This is just an obvious reminder since his voice box has an American accent...
Who cares what provisions are in there? It's a stupid, unfair tax on money and land that has already been taxed. It is just another way to steal money from you. Why don't they start taxing the air you breathe, it has just as much legitimacy as the 'death tax.'
Consider this obituary from the Atlanta-Journal Constitution:
OBITUARIES: MARIETTA
J.C. HYDE, wanted no wealth, but farm.
[Derrick Henry - Staff Saturday, March 6, 3004]
J.C. Hyde was an unassuming farmer, land-rich but
cash-poor. For virtually his entire life, he plowed by mule on his
127-acre farm along the Chattahoochee River in east Cobb County, land he
had lived on since his father bought it in 1920. Surrounded by pricey
subdivisions, it had become one of the largest tracts of undeveloped
land in metro Atlanta..
The land survived the boll weevil and the Great
Depression. Mr. Hyde intended to make sure it would survive developers.
"I remember being there when a real estate
developer drove up, as many did, and said: 'J.C. Hyde, I can make you a
wealthy man,' " said Rand Wentworth, head of the Atlanta office of
the Trust for Public Land from 1990 to 2002. "J.C. answered : 'But
then I would not be happy.' "
Mr. Hyde was plenty happy to live the way he did,
in the log house he grew up in, with heat from a pot-bellied stove and
water from a well.
"I have running water," he joked in a
1991 Atlanta Journal-Constitution article. "I run out to the well
and get it."
Working beside his brother, William
"Buck" Hyde, he grew sweet potatoes, corn, okra, green beans,
peas and tomatoes, selling them from the back of a pickup truck near
Marietta Square. In 1996, Mr. Hyde was selling a bushel of his
"Gold Nugget" sweet potatoes --- Grade 1 --- for $16.
After a long day's work, he might pick up his
fiddle and play some music.
Mr. Hyde was a bachelor, not given to idle talk.
"I remember picking sweet potatoes with him for six hours and
during that period he never said more than four words," said Kevin
Johnson of Atlanta, Chattahoochee River Program coordinator with the
Trust for Public Land.
He lived with his brother, also unmarried. While
the men tended the fields, their four married sisters took turns cooking
and helping with the domestic chores, said Mr. Wentworth.
When Mr. Hyde's brother died in 1987 and left him
his share of the farm, the IRS and state revenue collectors arrived.
They assessed Mr. Hyde with a debt of $467,000 to the IRS and $96,000 to
the state for estate taxes.
"This is all something new to me," Mr.
Hyde said in a Journal-Constitution story in 1991. "I never owed
anybody nothing."
The private, nonprofit Trust for Public Land
worked out a deal in 1992 with the National Park Service to buy 40 acres
of riverfront property from Mr. Hyde for $1 million, more than enough to
pay the taxes. The deeded land would become part of the Chattahoochee
National Recreation Area, safe from developers. Mr. Hyde, meanwhile,
could continue living and working there.
J.C. Hyde, 94, of Marietta died Wednesday. The
funeral is 2 p.m. today at Roswell Funeral Home.
"I have never met a better conservationist
than J.C. Hyde," said Mr. Wentworth, now president of the Land
Trust Alliance in Washington, a national umbrella of conservation
organizations. "He cared for that land like it was family
If you want your money to go to society, give it to society, not the government. And for god's sake, don't force everyone else to do it just because you believe it should be done. Maybe the 1 million I have in the bank could help support my surviving family and extended family? Why should it be heavily taxed (again -- after all, these people paid income taxes on most of it already).
So how do they manage it if, say, I've got 4 boxes in my house and everyone is watching some HD, and my cable modem is downloading at 3.5mbps... what is the maximum throughput they can get over cable?
But that's not really on demand (despite the marketing).
Yes, it is. I've got this technology as well with BrightHouse (aka Time Warner in Orlando).
They have channels that are actually interactive, and you scroll through a list of movies, start the movie, and you have 12-24 hours to watch it, pause it, rewind it, etc. very cool. I'm a geek, and I still wonder how the hell they have the bandwidth to do all these channels, plus all the HD channels they have, plus my fast cable modem (3.5mbps down).
Look at comment #11, which links to a duplicate bug. It was known in October of 2002 that it was possible for certain HTML to launch code locally. Yes, this was a result of passing unknown protocols to the operating system, which then handled them in an irresponsible manner. That doesn't change the fact that the Mozilla team just kept on trusting the OS to do the right thing. If they had allowed HTML like to get through to Windows, would you also write that off as a bug in the OS?
Yes I did read the bug. In fact, I read past comment #11, even as far as comment #12, where the person pointed out the bug was not as urgent any more because they implemented a blacklist for known exploitable protocols.

And of course, the first thing that happens is, this internal memo somehow finds its way to ZDNet. Looks like PR FUD to me.
Yeah, I can hardly believe a company with hundreds of thousands of employees leaked a memo sent to all of its Windows-using employees.
I think that it is still not too unconceivable.
I felt it appropriate that I respond to this statement.
You fail English!
Speaking of "coming into Vogue again"...
Pervert.
It's in pretty bad shape right now... lets hope we can some day recover. :(
Wow are you short-sighted.
It was pretty bad in 2001. It sucked in 2002. It was still shit in 2003. 2004 has been a good year.
"Verbing weirds English."

I just loved the minimalist cover of Ultima VII: The Black Gate.
I don't know, I think MobyGames.com taking credit for Ultima VII is a bit tacky.
Here's the deal, I'll pretend that government is "company" when they let me opt out of their laws and their taxes.
Absolutely. That is called freedom. A few, basic laws maintained by a minimal government requiring minimal taxes. Even better if the government can generate the funds on its own. Now you're thinking like a Libertarian, hooray.

That is only the primary objective of a socialist government. The primary objective of the US Government is to defend the country, the people, and their freedom.
To do the job, though, they need money, which should come from those it takes care of - the citizens.
Why?
A government earning money instead of forcing its citizens to supply it under threat of force.
What on Earth will we do?!
Love it...

You're right, it's not a CD, it's a "copy protected CD." No new name needed.
Open letter to Bill Gates Sr.:
If you want your money to go to society, give it to society, not the government. And for god's sake, don't force everyone else to do it just because you believe it should be done. Maybe the 1 million I have in the bank could help support my surviving family and extended family? Why should it be heavily taxed (again -- after all, these people paid income taxes on most of it already).
How can one keep 490 GB of data (700 CDs * 0.7 GB per CD) "handy"?
105 DVDs?
Before you get some cool glasses, how about getting some commas?
He can't see! He thought those periods were commas, you insensitive clod!
But if you could care less, then you care somewhat.
"So you're telling me there's a chance!"
Yeah, and people used to have "a gay old time."
How about it, want to go puff on a fag, mate?
WTF are you talking about? It is possible to do this with the ipod now, and has been for a long time.
So how do they manage it if, say, I've got 4 boxes in my house and everyone is watching some HD, and my cable modem is downloading at 3.5mbps... what is the maximum throughput they can get over cable?
It's a tactic so totally stupid that it borders on brilliance.
"There's a fine line between stupid... and clever."
But that's not really on demand (despite the marketing).
Yes, it is. I've got this technology as well with BrightHouse (aka Time Warner in Orlando).
They have channels that are actually interactive, and you scroll through a list of movies, start the movie, and you have 12-24 hours to watch it, pause it, rewind it, etc. very cool.
