... achieved by a 52% income tax and a 21% sales tax. So that's 73% in total...
The 52% income tax is applied to your income. The 21% sales tax is applied to what you spend. The only way you can add them is if those two values are equal, that is, you spend 100% of your pre-tax income.
The next step is to have this little airplane carry a small rechargeable battery from my house to the power line. It would charge itself and the battery, then return the battery to my house and pick up the next battery that needs recharging.
Obviously I would need to make some kind of coconut battery holder so that the plane could grip it by the husk.
No, this is not a flaw in TOR. As has been stated in a previous post, the purpose of TOR is not security, but anonymity. If you want to have a secure connection, use an SSH tunnel (for continuous communication) or encrypted email (for a one-time secure message). Note that both of these protocols offer security, but not anonymity. If you want security and anonymity together, I suppose you could create an SSH tunnel through TOR, but performance would obviously suffer.
That's to distinguish it from all those certain economic times, where everyone knows the next day's stock market results, lottery numbers, winning horses, etc.

Gartner is not suggesting that these are the top 10 new technologies, only that these are the top 10 technologies which will change the world over the next 4 years (presumably the technologies which will cause the greatest change).
I think the gym analogy is not accurate, because it does not require the gym operators to do anything. What I mean is this: when you are accessing a URL, your browser is sending a request to a particular server and that server is actively sending you a response to your request. You aren't technically "stealing" (I know the difference between theft and copyright infringement -- but I can't think of a better word). You are actually asking for something and they are actively sending something back to you. You cannot be responsible for what they send back to you, but you can be held responsible for how you use it.
I think the phone system would be a better analogy. If I phone a company (say Coca-Cola) and ask for their secret recipe, and the person answering the phone gives me that recipe, have I done anything wrong? If I use that recipe to make a delicious drink for myself (not for resale), have I done anything wrong? I certainly was not "hacking" the phone system because I called them.
No, no, no! I hate it when people don't understand science. All data does not float. Only the 0's float, due to the air bubble in the middle. 1's do not float.
In this case, the 0's will escape from the tube, but the 1's will be unaffected. That's is why the affected people are getting blank (completely white) web pages -- it's all 1's (#FFFFFF == white)
Someday, countries like Canada with lots of wheat will want something besides debt instruments in exchange for their goods. So too will countries like Saudi Arabia want something of tangible value in exchange for their oil.
I know you are giving examples, but did you know that the US imports more oil from Canada than from Saudi Arabia? I'm sure that most Americans do not realize this.
I believe that the law to which you refer is the Law of Conservation of Internet Intelliegence, which states: "The sum of the intelligence of all Internet users is constant." The collary of this law is that as the number of users increases, the average intelligence of each user decreases.
Unfortunately, I am one of those Internet users, and therefore my own intelligence is decreasing as more of you join the Internet. Thanks.
The summary is not correct. The article is talking about the cost of the parts, not the cost of producing the iPod. There can be much more to the cost of development than just the cost of the parts. For example, what is the cost of developing software? Obviously it's much more than the cost of the physical medium.
does this mean now that you can steal as much music as you want in canada, if you own an iPod?
Yes, this is correct. The original intent of the levy was that it would allow Canadian to make copies (from any source) of music for their own personal use. In Canada, downloading music for your own personal use is not illegal. It is also legal to make copies of music CD for your own personal use.

From the article, the accident happened at 9pm. So it probably wasn't dark.
He must also consider the danger that he might NOT be caught, and could end up spending the rest of his life on a big pile of money.
There is a problem with a restaurant on the moon: good food, but no atmosphere.
That depends. Is it an African or European airplane?

Maybe they did need Google's billions.

Nanaimo was founded as a coal mining town around 1850. Today, it is just as much a coal mining town as San Francisco is a gold mining town.

No! No! No! I wanted "Green eggs" and "ham". Not "Green eggs and ham". Green eggs. Not green ham.
