Diet makes a big difference in how meat tastes too. My family hunts and depending on the available food sources in an area the deer will taste different. People who often find deer taste very "gamey" should try changing the area they hunt in, this is often a result of the diet. Taking deer in an area with abundant sources of alfalfa and beech nuts will usually result in very good meat.

So you would have us believe a society which is not free would be better? If someone else is going to tell you how to live your life why bother living at all?

Had you spent a second trying to figure things out before lambasting the writer you would have realized that TFS links into a post which is a continuation of an issue he introduced in a previous post. He is writing this post expecting that you've read the previous one, notice that the first sentence he writes mentions that he introduced the subject in a prior post and provides a link to it.

My personal view is that it should be an absolute percentage. Everyone feels the same pinch and it does scale with income. What I disagree with is that percentage rising the more you make. How is raising the percentage of your money taken the more money you make seen as "fair"? If the poor cannot afford to pay that percentage and have enough left to live on that is certainly a problem but I don't think the current "solution" is ideal.

That TV is quite possibly the most hideous thing I could think of putting in a living room. You'd have to pay me to take that.

I can just see the ads now: "Just one dip in this tub of electro-clean and all the transistors are completely gone!"

It's always good to have paper as an option. I suspect the real driving force behind this idea if it is implemented will be from government agencies wanting an effective tracking system for cash. God forbid we pay the neighbor's kid to mow the lawn without the government knowing about it.

Write them down, then what? It needs to be secure, you don't want someone else getting their hands on your password. It needs to be accessible, you may want to access that site on the go.

Beyond that, for the average user convenience will kill that idea quite quickly. After a few times of "I lost the damn paper" or "I left it in my other pants" etc... they will decide it's simply too much of a hassle and go back to their familiar memorized passwords.
