People will not be allowed to whisper things or pass notes to each other or send private letters... or say/write anything without a government "listener" present to monitor the exchange. (And, of course, another listener when that information is subsequently recorded, etc...)
I'm not saying there is one... However, by using an LLC, he gets full control over the stock, w/o any charity rules and/or transparency requirements, until the last moment it's disposed of. On the other hand, the line between shrewd and crime can be narrow and gray - ask any Wall Street banker.
And this exchange from, "Raising Gazorpazorp" (Season 1, Episode 7):
Rick: "Well obviously Summer, it appears the lower tier of this society is being manipulated through sex and advanced technology by a hidden ruling class. Sound familiar?"
(Why an L.L.C.?)
An L.L.C. can invest in for-profit companies (perhaps these will be characterized as societally responsible companies, but lots of companies claim the mantle of societal responsibility). An L.L.C. can make political donations. It can lobby for changes in the law.
(Why not a charitable foundation?) ... a charitable foundation is subject to rules and oversight. It has to allocate a certain percentage of its assets every year. The new Zuckerberg L.L.C. won’t be subject to those rules and won’t have any transparency requirements.
(Tax implications) ... if the L.L.C. sold stock, Mr. Zuckerberg would pay a hefty capital gains tax, particularly if Facebook stock kept climbing. If the L.L.C. donated to a charity, he would get a deduction just like anyone else. That’s a nice little bonus. But the L.L.C. probably won’t do that because it can do better. The savvier move, Professor Fleischer explained, would be to have the L.L.C. donate the appreciated shares to charity, which would generate a deduction at fair market value of the stock without triggering any tax.
All legal. Don't hate the player, hate the game... (or so I'm told)
Your human target is 50 feet away and barely moving and yet SOMEHOW all of your crack Stormtroopers miss with a weapon that shoots at the speed of light.
I think the Mythbusters did some measurements on an episode and determined that blasters fire travels slower than light. And they tried to dodge it.
Typical metal fillings can corrode and composite fillings are not very strong.
For what it's worth, I have three (conservative) amalgam filling in my upper molars that were put in when I was 17. I'm now 52 and my dentist says they're still fine. Though, I'm told that have really good "home care"... From what I've heard, composite fillings should only really be installed on non-chewing surfaces when appearance matters, so strength shouldn't really be an issue.
But I guess 200 times stronger and longer lasting would be better, especially if they solve that pesky aging / dying problem.
Maybe a thousand years from now you could have a dog that lives 300 years.
I think my dog in Hack is still alive. The game killed me and I haven't checked in on him in *quite* a few years though. Maybe I should; he might be hungry...
You might assume I would want to win. After all she may attribute my victories to a superior sense of strategy and deeper understanding of the game. After all it might make me seem smart and you would assume I'd like to impress her.
Impress her with your (supposed) superior dice-rolling skills?:-)
And as for having fewer guns, that didn't seem to work in Paris or California. It seems the problem is usually gang members,...
And if those gang members had fewer guns? See, I didn't specify that there should be fewer "good" people with guns, just fewer people with guns - as they seem to be causing the problems. A pipe-dream? Sure, but the point is still valid. In addition, it's not about self-defense, but the mistaken thinking that a a random person with a gun is going to help out rather than probably (as the GP feared) accidentally cause more problems (as an A/C mentioned) and perhaps get him/herself mistakenly killed by LEOs. Hell, unarmed people are getting killed by LEOs. Also, I'm not sure armed civilians would have helped against the suicide bombers in Paris.
Well... It seems to be people with guns that are causing all the trouble rather than people w/o guns. Seems that we could do with fewer of the former and more of the latter. That's my message. (Prove me wrong - you can't.) Also, the A/Cs that replied to you have valid points
I'm not sure what scares me more -- random shootings, or the thought of so many yokels with concealed carry permits who've only fired a gun once or twice in their, now life trying to return fire (or thinking they can).
Hopefully, they'll try that, be mistaken for bad guys by the police and also killed. Two birds with one stone and all that... Seriously, in situations like this or the Colorado Planned Parenthood, returning fire is probably ineffective and probably going to get you accidentally killed by the Police - or otherwise if you're a minority.
If you wanted to be charitable you could have actually made your product less expensive,...
(a) Facebook is free. (b) Its users *are* the product - already given freely.
Unless you mean Facebook could sell user information and content to advertisers for less...
Seriously, if a girl wants to sell her body, why shouldn't she?
Because the government hasn't figured out a way to collect tax on that kind of income without implicitly condoning the behavior/occupation and offending people. Same for drugs.

And... that about solves it.
While TFA is quick to say that the sleeping causes the deaths, the study itself only says they are "associated".
Fact: Breathing causes death. Proof: 100% of all dead people were habitual breathers.
The books were interesting, but pretty boring. Very slow moving.
Cool. So I can start reading them now and be finished just in time for the series to start!
[ Actually, I think I've already read Red Mars - a *while* ago. ]
Ya-who ?
I'm missing the Crime Against Humanity here.

From this Dec 3, NY Times article How Mark Zuckerberg’s Altruism Helps Himself:
(Why an L.L.C.?)
An L.L.C. can invest in for-profit companies (perhaps these will be characterized as societally responsible companies, but lots of companies claim the mantle of societal responsibility). An L.L.C. can make political donations. It can lobby for changes in the law.

Sounds like a hypospray to me. Didn't those fail because they hurt like a motherfucker?
Google is a god damned search engine, not a doctor!
Air "needles" in your arm, ads up your ass - be thankful it's not the other way around.
I think the Mythbusters did some measurements on an episode and determined that blasters fire travels slower than light. And they tried to dodge it.
So....it's an energy weapon that fires a payload that moves slower than a 20th century handgun bullet?
They *tried* to dodge it - and failed. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

That should coincide with the perfection of nuclear fusion reactors and the release of Hurd 1.0.
Stranger things have happened. Duke Nukem Forever actually got released ...

... And way too many gun nuts.
Uh, that's "gun enthusiasts" but I understand the confusion.
Just put docents and exhibits in the NY capital building. No need for a separate museum.

Bankers, Hedge and Mortgage Fund managers reminding them to not tank the economy again so they can make an extra nickel.
Police reminding them to not shoot unarmed civilians.
