Well, the technology is definitely there to make an affordable flying car (in the same way that a Porsche is affordable at least.) The technology isn't there to ensure that thousands of people in the same airspace don't crash into one another on a regular basis.
Even if the bonus is an annual one, 5% is better, because that's like getting a cumulative 5% bonus increase every year. Next year, 10%. The year after - 15%. The year after - 20%. (Actually even more, because each 5% would be based on the most recent salary, not the original one). See the picture? And if you switch jobs, you have more basis for getting a higher salary at the new place.
So a one time raise of 5% beats a one time bonus of 10%. An annual raise of 5% beats an annual bonus of 10%. Now if it was a choice between a one time raise and an annual bonus, things would be different.
Even without bringing taxation into account, 5% raise is far better than a 10% bonus. Unless you mean that your choice was something like "5% raise without bonus or 10% bonus with a 4% raise".
Just like you can decide not to feel pain when someone hits you, right? I mean all the beating did was send a bunch of electrical signals into your brain. Pain itself is all in your head.
All we really know about the case is what the judge did, and that the appeals court backed him up. Is that really enough to base an opinion? We don't know what the lawyers did to piss him off besides the vague "disobeying instructions." We don't know what those instructions were. Not nearly enough facts here for an informed opinion.

I, for one, am going to wait for micro-machine therapy.
Probably a buggy implementation of the Three Laws. Also, giving your intended slaves an illusion of free will is never a good idea.
And we finally found out what really made Anakin go Darth!

I describe Good Omens to people as "Think of the movie Dogma, only opposite."
So the answer is, in fact, "Yes." But only once.
Now can we have a commercial with that hot chick that smashes the place up?

No-Script works well enough for me.
Could be just a bunch of black holes. Size to mass ration is pretty small, so you could easily miss them.
Or it could just be gravity seeping in from another dimension/brain/membrane/whatever.

We'll be too busy destroying the self-sufficient colonies of other races.
I prefer The Dilbert Principle myself.

I'm gonna keep checking parent post to see if anyone mods it Informative :)
That's not quite true. They make you more likely to commit suicide. Let's see a placebo do that!

Who decides what's "frivolous"? Is it the same people who decide what's "obscene"?

Wouldn't it be easier to wind the worm around the stick?
And for $10 more you can get an e8400 which is better than the e6750 in every way, shape, and form.
So basically internet routing functions on the honor system?
