the reason why it happens is that some group at google finds a fatal flaw in a project: they didn't write it. so they write a new project with the same functionality, but a different, "cleaner" interface. then the next group finds a fatal flaw in the new project.
issues would be an understatement. iraq of all countries was so angry about the quality of apcs made there that they have returned half of the delivered apcs and cancelled the order.
Ammo ages. When it happens the propellant leaks nitric acid which reacts with the propellant and the casing, heating it up, which accelerates the aging and leads to a positive feedback loop that ultimately causes spontaneous combustion, which was the most probable cause for that explosion in the Ukraine. Think again.
Except that it is far easier to be left alone in a big city. in a village everyone knows you and bothers you. in a city even the next door neighbour doesn't give a shit whether you are still amongst the living. I have been renting this flat for 8 years, but I have spoken with other people living in the same house maybe twice.
not that kind of ammo, sorry. mostly tank and howitzer shells, also some tactical ballistic missiles and SAMs. nice fireworks, but nothing you'd want to keep at home.
At higher altitudes turboprops should be also more efficient as an engine because piston engines either lose power to the supercharger or to the less dense air.
Well, if the student gets Bafoeg - a kind of a half loan half basic income for poor students - then all exams at the university have to be passed on time, otherwise the money flow will stop. And Czech is difficult enough as it is, no need to make the exams difficult as well;-)
It is a bit complicated. After passing the 12th grade (that is only available at the most advanced types of schools) one can study at an university of applied science. Then there is a certain final exam (das Abitur). Used to be available only after passing the 13th grade and a lot of qualifications during the 11th-13th grade, but a few years ago the secondary school was capped ad the 12th grade. This final exam is the entrance exam to a German university (there is a lesser form of it that requires only one foreign language but it only allowes studying a limited set of fields and only at certain universities). Then at the university there can be entrance limits, so only these with a very good score at that exam will be able to enroll, others would be put on a waiting list for several years. That exam is no joke and even though I have passed, I still occasionally have nightmares about it - almost 20 years later.
Germany tried education partially paid by the students and that student loan crap between 2000 and 2010 or so thanks to the overabundance of free market fundamentalists in the government. The result was a miserable failure and now they (the tutution fees and some of the free market fundamentalists) are gone. Good riddance.
My point is that a taxpayer cannot afford an army of lawyers, accountants and lobbyists to make sure he can legally evade taxes and if the taxpayer does that illegally, he'll be liable for it. On the other hand, a corporation can do all that and thanks to limited liability, even outright tax fraud results in a slap on the wrist.
Not really. Like I said, VAT doesn't apply in B2B transactions. So if a company orders hardware for internal use, they don't pay VAT on it. Also Apple already charges whatever the market can bear, so if they would actually pay taxes on income, their options to pass it to customers are limited.
Apparently you don't know how VAT works. Hint: corporations don't pay VAT, they merely collect it. Besides, only the last retailer in the chain collects VAT, it doesn't apply in B2B transactions.
I used to work for a smallish German company where the CEO always said that if anyone is to join a union he would close the shop and reopen in Switzerland. He also ignored many laws and regulations and the wages sucked. 5 years after I was fired half of the employees was new. Now I am working at a company of the same size, automatically belong to a professional association, earn almost twice as much even though there are no bonuses, the CEO follows all laws and regulations and even does charity work. Many of my colleagues have been at the company for 20 years. Guess where I like it better?
Corporate income tax is not double taxation, it is a fee for limited liability. If corporation owners don't like that then they can always accept unlimited liability as individuals and use an insurance as a liability limiting measure. Unfortunately they want to have their cake and eat it, too.
Well, the rest amounts to a game and what happened over a century ago in a real monarchy, which is oppressive by the very definition. It cannot be compared to a tourist attraction monarchy like it is nowadays in the UK or the Netherlands.

All the banks in Germany used OS/2 because it was so reliable. And it was rock-stable on my PC, both 3.0 and 4.0.
said the BeOS fanboi. OS/2 was a very stable and reliable operating system, hence it still gets updated to make it run on newer hardware.

it is far easier to be invisible in a crowd.

that is comparing apples to oranges. a turboprop flying the same speed is more efficient than a piston engine aircraft.

jet engines do have several transmissions - generators, fuel pumps and hydraulics have to be powered somehow. some engines even have geared fans.
One does not have to be very intelligent to pander to his target demographics.
Basically your reasoning is "if you can't afford to buy lawmakers, suck it up". Well, fuck you, too.

And yet most individuals pay more income tax than Apple.
get a new one asap. a rusty chain wears down sprockets much faster and they are usually more expensive and more difficult to replace.
