In my office, the "significant time" for a code review is the 5-10 minutes between "Hey, have time for a code review?" and "Thanks". All code reviews are in person and pre-commit. Bugs are occasionally found, and the savings in not having to fix those bugs later are significantly higher than the time it takes to do code reviews.
The confusion here is income tax vs sales tax. The following is based on New York state tax law, but may be applicable here:
If (using your example) you buy ingredients at the supermarket and your wife makes the meal, there is no sales tax because unprepared food is not taxed. If you buy a prepared meal at a restaurant, you pay sales tax. If your employer gives you a free lunch, you don't pay sales tax on that, but you must report it as income on tax day, just like your salary. If you ate 50 meals that year, with an approximate value of $10 each, you would need to report $500 of income.
All this said, you should donate to the policeman survivors fund (I do) but also be aware there are a dozen other professions who die at a higher rate than they do (including farmers, alaskan fisherman, and coal miners).
Or garbage men, truck drivers, pizza delivery boys...
Cops like people to think they have a dangerous job because it gets them a lot of sympathy, but the most dangerous part of their job is driving around all day.
There is nothing you could do on an IBM brand 286 PC that you cannot do on an Android tablet. You can literally run the very same binaries files for the same software. So, if an IBM PC was a PC, then an Android tablet is a PC.

Here in the UK the plural of Lego is indeed Lego
Ah, I never knew that. It might be an American preference to add the s.
I suspect that if I told my son to "put away your lego", he would put away one brick and think he was very clever.

I had my fair share of legos when I was a child
Did you have a sands pit
Are you saying the plural of lego is lego, or that lego is already plural? Would you say "come play with my lego"? If the singular of "sand" is "a grain of sand", is the singular of "lego" "a block of lego"?
Not voting at all could mean that you're leaving that line on the ballot blank because you don't think any of them are qualified, or that you don't show up to the polling place. I hope you choose the former over the latter.
But this brings up an important question in my mind - should we be getting minors to buy and install all our software? Would that allow us to ignore all the click-through licences?
You'd probably be brought up on charges of contributing to the delinquancy of a minor.
As opposed to the Playstation 9 ads? All I could think after watching those was "Wow, in 50 years I'll have a total sensory hallucination when playing a game, but for now I have to settle with this crappy PS2."
Not even close. But part of that ownership states that you are prohibited from copying it, redistributing it, or rebroadcasting it without the consent of the manufacturer.
That's because copyright law already says i can't. It's no different than when you lease a car
It's completely different. When you lease a car, you sign paperwork saying that you don't actually own it. When I buy a DVD, I don't have to agree to anything. I give the clerk money and I own it.

I'll adopt the "official" prefixes when they come up with something that isn't embarrassing to say out loud.

What about typing at an acceptable rate?
Certainly: evil is in the mind of the beholder.
Lawful Evil, specifically.

Wait, legos are liquid now?
My first thought was "obviously you're frame locked to 45fps"
Because getting disbarred in this country basically requires you to sneak gay porn into your court documents and give them to the judge.

This is my son George Forman, and my other son George Forman and my daughter George Forman...
They're *entertainment*, not speech...
So, I guess movies, music, and a good deal of literature are not speech, either.
No, you're not missing anything. I think the reviewer just forgot to type the 'o' and the 't'.

Don't forget Monty Python's Flying Circus Complete. Every episode of the TV series on 14 DVDs.
Tribbles were their second choice, since they couldn't find any live gakh.

"...humanity gets to meet its first Klingon. Said knobbly faced warrior..."
I was wondering if they were going to use the forehead-ridged Klingons or the pansy Romulan-wannabes from TOS.
