For those who like to argue the point, I like to ask them what they think the Japanese would have done had they acquired the bomb... They often usually fall silent or change the subject. Funny, that...
I would not say that I'm biased against Japanese people, there are few alive today who were perpetrators then, but I do, in some regards, hold a grudge. I like them, well enough, as a people and as individuals but I sure as hell hope they continue to be sane. Their atrocities are simply beyond the pale. I'd like to think that I, personally, could not have done such things regardless of how much my culture tried to persuade me to believe that such was the right thing to do. I also realize that I've the benefit of hindsight.
I also don't like the minimization of the barbaric behavior and revisionist history. I'm okay with Truman dropping the bomb - even if it was just to show the Russians a message and, probably, because we didn't want Russia taking over more land in the area. See Korea and Red China as possible outcomes. The Russians had already started (and were well on the way) with their ascent on East Asia after the pressure on their West had subsided a bit. Most people don't seem to know about the involvement of Russia in the East. I don't think I even heard about it in high school and I didn't take many history classes in college. Yay! Documentaries!
IIRC the currency, albeit digital, crossed US soil by way of a US exchange or bank. Thus, the idiots that they are, the.gov felt it had a right to seize those assets. While this should be well known and is, fairly well, codified into law - it's still a shitty practice but it should be known about and avoided at all costs when attempting to do something like buying Cuban cigars.
I'm not a fan of the embargo, never have been. I've been to Cuba twice and enjoyed it both times though the second time I was lied to and was told that I'd have 'net access at the hotel. There was nary a packet to be had, at the time. I hunted, oh did I hunt. I was even willing to use homing pigeons. Nope. Not one lick of internet. I was sad and had to amuse myself with alcohol and hanging out with the people. In hindsight, it's probably best that I didn't have 'net or I may well have spent too much time in my hotel room - as I'm wont to do.
A long time ago, we had what I'm going to call, "hard science fiction." In the back of these fictional works were a bunch of appendices which included, frequently, the actual maths involved in their story telling. These were dropped when the genre became more popular, sometime in the 1960s as I recall - fantasy was being included with the genre as well. If you go to an old, used, bookstore then you may be able to find such works - Clarke had some, as I recall.
As I manually preview this post, I've decidedly posted something that encompasses both "get off my lawn" and "things were better then." Neither is really true, I guess. Suffice to say, it was different.
Or, as I prefer, no OS at all? I don't want (or need) you to put an OS on my box. I can, and will, do that on my own. In fact, it's the first thing I do. If I want BSD then I'll put it on there. If I want Linux, I'll put that on there. If I want Windows, well... Let's not go that far, but you get the idea. I'm happy, capable, and willing to accept any risks and do my own software support, thanks. I don't need an OS installed, I can read the help files if needed. I don't need to have anything pre-configured, thanks, I'd prefer to customize it myself (and probably will) so you're not really saving me any time. I don't want "just works" out of the box. I want what I want to "just work" when I'm done with it.
Not a bank - a credit union. I find that some of them are ahead of the curve. It's also a lot nicer when you've got some skin in the game and own shares instead of just being a tool to be wielded or customer.
Full disclosure: I've numerous accounts and sit on the board at my local credit union.
When BTC opened up to the world, I mined 48 (I'm pretty sure) BTC on a headless box that chugged away in my 'server closet.' Rather than deal with the taxes, I simply donated them to EFF. They were worth some $11,000+ (total) when I donated them. I'm not sure when/if they cashed them in.
Yes, tax avoidance is legal. Tax evasion is illegal. I didn't feel like dealing with putting them on my tax statements which would be public information and subject to scrutiny as I'm running for the State Senate in 2016. No, the donation will not be written off. Yes, this is legal. No, I don't feel it is immoral.
Anyhow, if the spikes happen and one pays attention (and is not in dire need for funds with an immediacy) then they may well work out for a select few. I'd actually completely forgotten about the BTC's that I'd mined - like completely and totally forgotten until someone here mentioned how much they were worth. I have no idea how long they'd taken to mine. The server had been powered down for years. However, it's not like you can't do other things besides mine them - you don't have to sit and watch the server. It works on its own once configured.
Just to interject, very few Libertarians are laissez faire capitalists. Unfortunately, they're the vocal minority. Sorry about that and I can understand the confusion.
Yes, taking the comment, as written, is plain wrong. The poster obviously implied something that they didn't say. I made it as far as you first example where they claim the greatest feature is a keyboard with some new functionality. That's just as stupid and doesn't actually change anything. The greatest feature is the ability to make a phone call (if you use it as a phone). If they meant 'greatest new feature' they'd have said that. They didn't. Finding other stupid people does not a point make. There's no colloquialisms, turn of phrase, or otherwise. There's just people failing to speak properly or ignoring the actual features in favor of trivial features. If they meant 'new feature' then they'd have said 'new' in the first place. It's THREE letters and a SPACE. They'd have said that if that's what they meant. Finding a few others (the internet is huge and a few findings does not normalcy make) is not an adequate argument. If you search for "alot" do you then assume that's correct when you find a few examples? No? Why not?
Actually, no... I do know what changes were made and I know that not one change effected how research stood in regards to where it's placed as a line item on your accounting. You can still write off your expenses. Your silly belief that you can't may be why you're still struggling to actually get beyond the point of being a mere business owner.
Hell, a quick look at Wikipedia indicates that nothing, at all, changed regarding taxation policies for research. No, you can't just stuff it into a subsidiary and that's it.
Your statement:
It only existed because research and development could be written off in its day.
Is untrue...
You can still write off research and development. You don't really own a business at all. I'm not sure why you feel compelled to throw around false accusations. It is factual that you can, indeed, still write this stuff off. Here's a link:
That will take you down the rabbit hole but, the important part (barring a desire to actually educate you):
The costs of research and experimentation are generally capital expenses. However, you can elect to deduct these costs as a current business expense. Your election to deduct these costs is binding for the year it is made and for all later years unless you get IRS approval to make a change.
Like always you've needed to be able to justify it If you want to write it off. This did not change in the tax code changes of 1986. It has always needed to be business related (however tangentially - they've always been pretty lax there so long as you can show the result *might* improve a product or offering). This did not change. It has been the same since, IIRC, something like 1917 but I'd need to look that up or ask my accountant.
If you're not amortizing, writing down, or deferring your research then you're doing it wrong and need a better accountant. You don't actually own a business, do you? If you do then, well, I may know a decent accounting firm you can use.
Do you have some information on this? I'm not really able to find any. What I am seeing is that the US actually gets a trivial amount of oil from the Middle East.
As an American, I'm slightly ashamed of my government. Know, please, that not one single elected official is one that I voted for - and I vote in every election. My only advice for you is to stop electing chicken-shit governments and elect those who will stand up and tell the US to piss off. I'm sorry about my government but, rest assured, I'm doing everything (rational) that I can do to change it. However, history shows that nobody ever listens to KGIII.
Should you ever need some amusement, read the EncyclopediaDramatica page on South Odessia. It's their best page. If you smoke weed then do so first. It's mostly factually correct and gives an *interesting* viewpoint.
True and why I said "knowingly" and "willingly." I do my best to avoid them, they're the only manufacture that I do. I only boycott a single store and that's Walmart and for a wholly different reason (and a long story, as well as probably not what people expect for reasoning). I'm sure I'm not 100% successful at it. I don't imagine I can be. I'm not sure why anyone would think I'd expect to be completely successful, to be honest. It is just a passing notice - if I see something that has Sony's name on it (or a name of their subsidiaries that I recognize) then I simply move along and go without, if need be. I'm okay with that.
If they were actually being honest and had a viable, logically sound, method that was different than something already being done and would fill a niche then, perhaps, I'd send them a donation.;-) I suspect that they aren't, don't, and it won't.
That is because Maine is awesome. There are, actually, a bunch of women in the fishing industry here. Many of whom actively tend the pots. Maine is full of hardworking women (and men) and really seems to be pretty good at being a meritocracy. We have lumberjills, lady mechanics, etc... Not so many but they exist. I don't think they're being prevented from trying - perhaps discouraged by peers or whatnot but I've not seen it. Of course, I'd not really be able to see it as I'm not a participant. Thus, I'm unqualified to speculate beyond what I have seen. There are lots of young ladies in the vocational schools. I don't recall the numbers but they were higher than I expected.
My solution? I don't worry about it. I'm not in it for the karma. My ego is not that frail. I usually guess that a negative mod means that they simply failed to understand what I had to say and that makes me motivated to express myself more clearly. That's something I have a problem with and the moderation is helping me to improve that - it has been for years even though I still am not the greatest at it. I suspect that it has something to do with how my brain works.
It's yet another example of you leaping to conclusions that suit your own preconceived notions. On further thought, I only bought a half dozen extras. I think I said I bought a dozen. That would be mistaken. What they wrote means exactly what they said unless they meant to write something else. There's no common anything, just the OP spouting gibberish at this point because they figured that they'd use your excuse. If they meant that then they'd have said that but, instead, they gushed like a fanchild about a feature that's far less meaningful than the ability to make a phone call.
You can believe what you want and help make excuses for them if you want. There's no common turn of phrase here. In fact, there's nary one citation on the internet for such a thing. No, they meant what they said and are now able to realize how silly it was and you're trying to help them out of some strange fascination and belief that I'm some sort of zealot for one type of device or the other. (Which is patently false, by the way.)
You're pretty happy making assumptions that seem to include things like putting words into people's mouths. Have at it. Don't mind if I make fun of you for doing so, however. Goober. They said nothing of the sort, you know it. There's no common anything here - just them trying to make excuses after the fact and the evidence is here for anyone to see. Don't worry, though. Nobody else will read this, really. Your secret is safe with me.
Well yeah, the summary should be automatically filled in by the data from the SDR, it should have meta data included automatically. Hell, they shouldn't even have to do that (next). Next they'll not even want to click the button to sign anything but have it all done automatically - just ship the meta data off in XML and you have something autonomous do the scoring based on meta data collected from the Google Maps API. Hell, they won't even have to sign up for the contest - just use push notifications over an app (modern app appers app apps, after all) and they'll automatically be enrolled.
Pretty soon, they won't even be making contact. They'll just have that same app connecting to others with the same app, collecting the meta data, having it shipped off (in XML, no less) collected by your server. The server will push out the notifications as to the standings. They won't even have to do anything, when they get the notice that the contest is on, it will run automatically and make the contacts in the background on their behalf - to other SDR devices who are also doing the same thing. Well, what do they win?
I'm only partially joking but, if nothing changes, then perhaps the writing is on the wall. With a few hours, I was able to pass every single test on the ARRL (I think that was the URL) site - the prep exams, knowing only some of the material from long-since-past EE classes in the late 1980s. I simply noted the errors and the answers and memorized it. What work needs to be done, really?
I think I needed to take each practice exam a few times total with only one of them (oddly the easiest one) needing a couple more tries. After that I was able to score an acceptable score on each. A few more tries, I think I spent maybe three or four hours total - over a week, and I was able to get a perfect score on all of them, in a row. I decided to not get my license, I'd end up hurting myself. I do have a radio - I do not broadcast.
I have some ham friends. My system is their emergency station. They did pretty much all the work. I kind of know how the equipment works but I don't do much with it except to poke and listen once in a while. They want me to put in a tower and a "shack." Some sort of standby thing in case of a crisis? I probably will let them do it and pay for it this upcoming spring. They do all the work. Another friend has a 180' tower, all in pieces, to sell to me. He used to work setting up and dismantling radio towers and his boss gave him the tower as partial payment.
Honestly, I don't know much about it. I think the term they used was "cold standby." They've used the equipment for some sort of crisis response practice where they had a bunch of people set up in a few areas around Maine (invited the public and any locals to test and play and learn - had some seminars and stuff too as I recall) and they had a dozen people or so at my house, all poking and doing what they do.
Nice group of people. If the poop hits the fan then, I suppose, I'll figure out the rest of what I need. They've shown me how to do quite a bit of it but I probably know what I know by rote. I can probably figure out the rest but I haven't. I don't mind the expense (it's actually fairly trivial and they do all the work and I pay by nodding and pretending I understand) and I figure it may do some good some day.

Nice group of people. If the poop hits the fan then, I suppose, I'll figure out the rest of what I need. They've shown me how to do quite a bit of it but I probably know what I know by rote. I can probably figure out the rest but I haven't. I don't mind the expense (it's actually fairly trivial and they do all the work and I pay by nodding and pretending I understand) and I figure it may do some good some day.
