RE:"then in turn the higher income garnered from the higher prices should raise their taxes, you see how it can easily spiral out of control?"
i think you misunderstood the intent of my sentence, did you not see the question mark at the end of this sentence, it was to show an example, i am not sure of a flat tax would fix this or not, i have a feeling a flat tax would but i just dont know for sure, i really dont think anyone has all the answers and if anyone claims they do have all the answers they are the ones you better watch closer than the ones that admit they dont. i dont want to break capitalism i want to see it stabilized...
exactly right on, thats what needs to be done, the government needs to quit playing games with taxes, set a reasonable level and keep it there, and it should be the same all across the board for all states, or else it will be the same old struggle that never really gets any long term benefits for anyone, not the companies wanting to do business, not the government needing the tax revenue and especially not the working class that need the jobs/income...
nice try but you selected the wrong comment, that one you selected to quote is the one i am serious about, the problem arises with different US states having differing tax benefits that vary depending on the whims of state government, then company A moves in and eventually the tax benefits are dissolved like the washington state example so company A looks for another state which adds to the cost of running their cloud in having to pack up and move and then set up elsewhere, which also adds to economic instability. IF it did not make a difference because all states were on the same tax level then company A would not move (neither to another state or outside the USA) its unstable because its the cost of doing business is higher and the corporates lose trust in government from the instability factor...
i am just as much of a freedom loving american as anyone = born & bred in the USA, i like capitalism just fine, it is just the struggle between the taxers & constituents and the taxed & investors that screw it up, they dont want to look at the big picture unless they have to for selfish profit motives and never even think about looking at the big picture in a way that benefits everyone = themselves & investors + the government & their constituents (some of which may or may not be employees)...
RE:"there really is no corporate tax that is not simply passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices"
then in turn the higher income garnered from the higher prices should raise their taxes, you see how it can easily spiral out of control? the USA should change the state taxes to a more centralized system to level the field so the tax is the same no matter where they move their cloud to, and if they leave the country then put a tarif on them for it. why should the consumer pay extra because the top dawgs want a 30 bedroom mansion & small private navy of pleasure craft? (it has been spiraling out of control since Reaganomics turned the world in to a playground for the rich at the expense of the working classes)
they just need to find a way to disguise them to not look like a satellite dish, just while i typed the first part of this comment i thought of making a satellite dish look like a bird bath would make a great disguise, then when you want to get online or watch tv / listen to radio just empty the water and set the azimuth...
satellite wifi, just think if there was a satellite over iran that beamed wifi and radio & television on open channels & frequencies, that will sure get the ayatollah's panties in a bunch
stick with the grand-daddies of Linux, Debian is your best bet since you are already familiar with ubuntu, if you feel adventurous maybe give Slackware a spin.
i will admit my grammar is not great, but when is defending my privacy with enthusiasm on a level equivalent with the paranoid considered being a troll? i am not genius when it comes to analyzing source code but i do manage to install linux and build some of my own packages from source. in both this comment and my previous comment has both mine and everyone else's best interest at heart with the exception of those that benefit from invading other people's privacy, so to hell with canonical/ubuntu, i want to see what the big dawds of FOSS/Linux has to say = people like Stallman, Torvalds, Volkerding...
as soon as Linux gained enough popularity that spyware and spyware like activities would start creeping in, glad i learned Linux early, fortunately i dont use ubuntu, and i wonder how long until this is embedded in to firefox itself and not removable, i am using an unofficial build of firefox (Shiretoko-3.5.2) and for all i know it may already have it, if it does i hope word gets out and it bites mozilla.com on the ass. it might even be prudent to just remove the damn thing and use lynx or links instead. maybe even just abandon Linux completely and switch to one of the [Free/net/open]BSDs not sure i could trust PCBSD to not pull the same crap canonical/ubuntu is doing...
yup, and yup to the genoo/xp dual boot too, microsoft goes to great lengths to not play nicely with other operating systems, i was hoping microsoft would change that attitude but hope is a cousin to dreams and we know both of those are not real...
looks like i wont be buying an OEM with windows7 on it later this year, the more unfriendly microsoft is to other OSs the more newegg gets my business (building my next desktop)
its more like a white fishing boat and a black fishing boat on a sea of gray using just the right lies and deceptions as bait to catch the most fish/votes then when they get in office they toss the stinky fish overboard because they can not have something like stinky little fishes mucking up the plans that the bigger corporate lobbyists & special interests that bought the boats in the first place, so it does not really matter who gets elected the rich & powerful get what they want anyway while the politicians get the celebrity status and their scooby snacks...
to the parent & grandparent post, plus with the source available you can check for anything malicious in the code before the binary is built. or rebuild with different parameters making it more secured against flaws by leaving out or changing the parts that are flawed or adding your own patches further hardening the app against vulnerabilities.
to the grandparent only: if you dont see the advantages of Open Source software to all users be it commercial or personal then you are not a user yourself and are just a corporate type with the corportista mindset, i got news for you = money is not everything and people will go out of their way to get your greedy little paws out of their pockets.
and anyone that builds their own firefox knows that python is required to build (not to run - just build), i have python-2.6.2 installed, so this means after python patches this flaw i got to re-roll every app that depends on python either just to build or at runtime too? yowza! that does not bode well, looks like i got my work cut out for me...

oops forgot the /sarcasm tag on that one, actually capitalism worked just fine for ages before Reaganomics came along, just ask anyone over 40 or 50.
did i mention i am a communist? drink the koolaide comrade, the rest of us are and it tastes fine

you should have just used this
you might as well install Linux
not industrial diamonds, they are about as small as fine sand, you can buy cutting tools with diamond dust embedded in them as reasonable prices
