You mean the "right hand side" of the Laffer curve.
Trivial detail, but you might be surprised how quickly some people will dismiss your argument over a meaningless semantic convention. (Left versus right in mathematics, etc)

I don't really understand why modern, automatic transmission cars don't set things up like go-karts do: pedal under your right foot accelerates, and the pedal under the left foot brakes.
It makes sense not to do that for manual transmissions. You sometimes have to clutch and brake at the same time, and definitely have to clutch and drive a lot. But there's some safety compensation: you can always clutch out if the car "somehow" gets stuck in drive, and you're always listening to the engine's speed, in order to efficiently manipulate the clutch and drive pedals, so it's easier to tell if you've hit the wrong pedal.
I'm sure that the majority of these people were drivers in automatics, who heard about these "Deadly Toyotas" (TM), made a simple mistake, and concluded "OH SHIT IT'S HAPPENING TO ME" instead of remaining calm and dealing with the problem. Call it a hunch, but the NHTSA's data backs up my conclusion.
If 200$ is a bargain, what does that make all those 50$ last generation cards with proper drivers on many platforms? Oh, "the right choice for most applications".
Think about how flashlights often use the case as a conductor just to eliminate a simple piece of wire.
Cost isn't the reason for doing that. If they wanted to make a cheaper flashlight, they would just use a plastic case, and a cheap wire. Instead, they are focusing on making sturdy metal flashlights, where the wire is just not needed.
A pair of plastic Eveready flashlights costs 5$ at Wal*Mart. A comparable Maglight costs 10 - 25$.
It disturbs me just how easily you talk about taking somebody's rights away.
Those rights were given to you, for our benefit. You can stop writing if you don't like it. You can stop writing if it becomes economically unfeasible. That's what freedom means.
If their freedom was at stake, it would mean that every bill is analyzed to the 9th degree, and that would make sure bad decisions were virtually nonexistent--because any decision at all would be a rare creature
Yeah, right.
I take it you're not familiar with the history of the world, where conquering armies looted everything they could. "Bills" are a modern invention, and it is an invention that could be undone with the signing of a bill offering power to military officers willing to support the (then) current regime.
And you have to wait for Hulu to serve the show anyway. This typically happens within 24 hours of airing (though some shows are a week behind, or more). So it's not like you get your show quicker by streaming than recording. You can watch a recorded show immediately after it is recorded. Or even a few seconds after you start recording it, if you wanted to.
Seriously though, there does need to be some type of consequences for leaders who violate the constitution/laws, make bad decisions, and spend our money frivolously. Right now the worst we can do is vote them out and bring a law suit to try to reverse whatever evil they imposed.
Bad idea.
Who gets to decide what is a "bad decision"? The guy's political opponents? Do you really want to see how cutthroat politics can be when losing an election as an incumbent means you face jail time? Our history will converge on the histories of the European monarchies. If the incumbent knows he will go to jail after his term is over, he will have no reason to let his term end. Enter: despotism.
You don't need a "trading program". The people who profited from the Flash Crash did so because they had orders in to buy at their target price, and volatility caused their orders to fill.
If you're breaking software on purpose, with management approval, and would presumably like to hide the logic behind the bug, an obfuscated state machine is the way to go...

Who in their right mind would want Kevin Smith's body scan image?
You have rediscovered Olber's Paradox.
BTW, a real violin and a real trumpet sound very different than a recording, or a synthesizer. No matter how good they make it.
Not if you're going to pump the trumpet or violin through a PA anyway...
It's musical theater. Yes, lighting is just as if not more important than music. It's drama first, music second.
Quantitative analysis is more touchy-feely than quantitative analysis. Gotcha.
You have to love basic logic errors in posts purporting to be informative.

How exactly are you encoding arithmetic in "physics", as a formal theory? If the universe is finite, Godel's theorem doesn't apply.
I meant encoding mp3s...
Just because they aren't subject to a king doesn't mean they couldn't be subjects of a sovereign...
Or you could spend a minute to learn the most frequently used ones once, and save a few seconds 66 times a day. Sounds like a win to me.
It ought to feel like dealing with a stack... Or a linked list, if you use Forward.

My 486 sx/33 could do MP3's, if I didn't do anything else on the machine.

We dumped cable long ago. We have a netflix account, netflix online access for whats on there, which isn't tons, but it's not bad...
If a movie "weighs a pound", Netflix Streaming was 9 tons, last I checked. They're up to 18,000 titles.

I do support prosecution for bona fide crimes.
Those which were at a 60% discount or greater, yes. And it's serious bullshit.

Argh, it's incomplete and I'm too sick/tired to fix a toy problem like this.
Agh, it's putLine, not putStrLn. And you would want to include a definition for
calculate NaN = NaN
caluclate (Number n) = Number n
This kind of error (incomplete patterns) is easy to detect with automated tools built into the compiler.
