The problem with this is that all issues regarding taxation/government spending are non-orthogonal, and can't be uncoupled easily (or at all).

The birth rates in the western world are already low enough that populations are decreasing excluding immigration. If your suggestion was implemented, they would literally go extinct in not that long a time span. Not sure I'd call that outc

So, according to the article, there is: 1) No scientific consensus whether these supplements will make you live longer or not. 2) A web page where Kurzweil sells these supplements. Can someone explain why I shouldn't think of this the same

Symmetrical downlink and uplink is the really exciting part to me. Imagine being able to transmit GB-sized files point to point in a matter of minutes. There are so many opportunities for stuff you can do with that :)

It's pretty obvious that iPhone games designed to be controlled by tilt work well with tilt, it's not at all obvious that other genres of games work well with pure tilt controls. It's also a bit premature to draw conclusions from kids at an

Ravi Mehta is not vaguely surprised that most high-profile basketball "experts" screwed up their Final Four predictions. Overall, of 5.9 million brackets submitted to ESPN.com's Tournament Challenge by those following the games, only 192 h

Did you know that Mirror's Edge is built using the current version of Unreal Engine? Tech demos are built to showcase as many features as possible, in a very limited time. In order to show shadows/lighting they are often dark.

I see no numbers for individual sports. Athletic departments losing money does not mean that the football team is losing money.

Would we really be saying that for a lawyer who defended the Catholic church in the sex abuse scandal? No, b/c anyone with _any_ integrity would likely walk away from that...or anyone with any political smarts. Very poor example... The ri

One reason they were excited was Yahoo's revenue growth. So they invested in new Internet startups. The startups then used the money to buy ads on Yahoo to get traffic. Which caused yet more revenue growth for Yahoo, and further convinced

The game is also massive in size, at over 6 gigabytes, so it’s going to take a while to download even on a fast connection. That's pretty small these days.

If we're only concerned about strict legality, EULAs are on very shaky legal ground. For example, EULAs that you don't sign _before_ buying the product have no legal standing at all in the EU. Sony has already tried suing PSJailbreak in Spa
