It's $350k in income per year, not in net worth. There is a massive difference between the two. A house counts for the latter and not the former.

According to this article you need around $8 million in net worth to be part of the 1%:

So no, a house doesn't cut it.

How would you go about installing such a 25 euro radio into your car?

Until other drivers start complaining that your microbroadcasts are interfering with their DAB reception and reporting you to the foreign counterpart of the FCC.

So how do you expect people to time-shift Internet stream programming at home to listen to it in the car? I thought one of the conditions under which licensors licensed programming to streaming providers was that the programming could not be time-shifted without an analog reconversion.

In the past, Steam was full of defects that caused it to often lose the cached receipts* that allow offline mode to work. The earliest versions (in the Half-Life 2 era) wouldn't even try to download these receipts for offline use unless the user chose "Go Offline" while online. Even the current version still has bugs that appear to require the purchase of a UPS according to Valve's page about offline mode:

Stored information that is required for offline mode to function may be lost when forcing Steam to close instead of exiting Steam correctly. Always manually close Steam before shutting your computer down or running out of battery life if you wish to use offline mode for an extended period of time.

If the required offline mode data is lost, there is no way to start Steam without an internet connection.

* "Receipts" are what the OUYA IAP system calls the associations between an item that can be purchased and a user account. Google Play Licensing calls it a cached licensing status. The terminology might differ for Steam.

I thought retail games were for people on slow or capped Internet connections, and the update was smaller than the full game. Good luck downloading a 10 GB game over a satellite or cellular Internet connection capped at 10 GB per month.

You still support Walmart if you buy Steam gift cards at Walmart.

Yeah, you're right. $5 seems like a good threshold to keep out the spammers.

Team Fortress 2, the free-to-play game published by the company that runs Steam, is rated M by the ESRB for "blood and gore" and "intense violence. How does the Steam service comply with the video game industry's self-regulation of sales of M games to minors?

Mostly I'm thinking of a middle school or high school student who received a hand-me-down device for the child's birthday or Christmas. Their parents provide free electricity and often free Internet, restaurants provide free Internet and often free electricity to laptop users, and child labor laws prohibit earning money for anything else.

Except that one of them is irreversible.
A -> B vs A -> B, X? B-> A

By your comprehension of logic, there is no logical difference between my beating you and my beating you to death either.

Why is there a "workable business case for" a PDA running locked-down iOS but not a PDA running open-userland Android?

By "off-contract", which of the following did you mean?

1. New with warranty at a price comparable to that of an iPod touch.
2. New with warranty at a much higher price intended for financing alongside a new voice and data plan.
3. Used, sold as is, if it blows up the day after you buy it used, tough shit.

A law that is violated in my garden every Spring as the seeds germinate, take root, send up leaves, and decrease atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Plants are engines powered by the Sun. The very purpose of those leaves is to tap the flow of solar energy. When the giant celestial nuclear reactor is taken into account, the entropy of the entire system is increasing.

There is something fundamentally wrong about the fundamental "laws" of thermodynamics. Put succinctly, they fail to take into account that these "laws" do not apply to the observer, who is not necessarily decaying into his constituent parts during the process of observation.

Your body is using an external source of energy - the food you eat - to fight the decay.

And I appreciate that you used appreciate correctly in the lesser known meaning of the word.

Anyhow, there is a case for capital punishment inflating the death toll even when not counting the capital punishment itself. If you face a likely death penalty, there is no incentive for you to not kill others. Killing others, like witnesses, can then be rationalized by it reducing the risk of getting caught, and thus die.
I have a strong suspicion that many mafia murders were done for that exact reason.

Web banking uses a cookie in your browser as the second factor, and this factor is planted through an incoming voice or SMS message to a number that you control.

I routinely use web banking for both of these use cases.

Incorrect. Abstract mathematical objects are not "encoded within the observable universe"

Sure they are. The set of concepts that humans can conceive are those which human brains, either directly or through tools like computers, can handle. Human brains evolved in the context usually called "the observable universe", so all concepts - including but not limited to abstract mathematical objects - we can think about are encoded within it, just in a real roundabout way. In other words, you can not know anything that isn't encoded in your causal past; even the very notion of abstraction only exists because it's inherent in the physical universe to such a degree that evolution encoded the principle into your brain.

And besides, the notion that math is supernatural - something that exists above physical reality, independent of it - is an unproven and probably unprovable assertion.
