You have no idea what you are talking about. Salaries go to government workers, money goes to defense contractors, etc. This money is paid. They can't just print money to make up for it, or what you have wouldn't be worth much.
The real key is that the debt is rather fluid; they rob peter and pay paul, and keep doing it. It is debatable whether this is good or bad, but your explanation doesn't involve real life.
Well, to be fair, you probably haven't done much math past the most introductory university level then.
Exterior Calculus, Abstract Algebra, Real and Complex Analysis, PDE's, etc.
what kind of "restrictions" are they gonna place on it?
The show got cancelled more because of controversy than lack of ratings. It's good to see Fox selling out on this due to response (whoddathunkit? Fox?), but I hate for the Family Guy people to sell out too.
In some ways it was good that it went out on top; Look at the Simpsons now; yech.
I know this is a joke, but it made me think. It seems that this device IS substantially more dangerous than a regular motorcycle (which is already plenty dangerous). For instance, the gyroscopes could fail, the wheel could fail, etc.
The question is, then, what extra benefits does it add over a motorcycle? The riding experience should be about the same, the price is probably higher. I understand that this only a prototype, and it might never be produced, but why dump money into making it? I don't see how it could ever be more than a "hey, neat" item - are those really the basis of a succesful business plan?

it also begs the question as to whether you know what the term begs the question means.
Math professor who has to grade homework? Where are you taking math? More like miserable undergrad who has to grade homework.

I don't think you know what algebra is, sir.
You're acting a little daft. Grandparent's point was that there are no such thing as real monsters. If you disagree, please name some.

Spamhaus is actually an anti-Spam organization. Those servers are the good guys!
This word practical; You keep using it. I do not think it means what you think it means.

That said, Hey neat!
