To follow up, and make the point even more explicitly, the same logic holds for foreign currency. if I hold Euros for more than a year and the Euro gets strong, I have to pay cap gains on that profit.
Wait, how does Norway tax foreign currency now? Does Norway treat other foreign currencies as normal income / loss? Were they NOT taxing foreign currency gain at all?
I think the language you used are why the young people who were polled prefer print.
They can hand a printed book off to someone without the word "pirate" being potentially used.
Yes. It's nice to be able to share without worrying about Digital Rights Management.
One one end of the spectrum is no patents or copyrights. All innovation is either public domain or trade secrets. With trade secrets, people still innovate, but they keep as much knowledge as possible away from the minds of others. This deprives citizens of shared knowledge. The other end of the spectrum is longer terms for patents and copyrights. As the terms lengthen (beyond a generation, beyond life expectancy) this too deprives citizens of shared knowledge.
Sewer systems are complicated. They have to deal with non-fluid debris besides the effluent. Drinking water is much easier to pipe. The sewer pipes only transfer 70%-90% of the effluent to the treatment plant. What leaks out is full of human pathogens. Possibly animal and plant pathogens depending on what gets sent "down the drain". If we have the available soil at a location, we should use a septic system. The septic tank traps debris and kills pathogens. The septic field returns nutrients to the soil. We should install city sewer only where we cannot use septic systems. Alternatively, perhaps someone can invent a modified septic tank to be installed "upstream" of the city sewer connection.
US is already on metric. 1 inch equals exactly 25.4 mm according to the International Yard and Pound agreement of 1959, though the US retains the 1 / 39.37-metre definition for survey purposes...
Have you ever watched a professional thief (or run of the mill locksmith) pick a deadbolt lock? It's so quick it might as well not matter. Yea we should stop using locks too.
Most locks are for privacy, not security. If you want security, use steel reinforced concrete and armed guards.
What is the recommended method for destroying CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs which have sensitive tax records (besides using a microwave)?
The second is ncal output.
Unfortunately, these "going private" deals usually end with an IPO 2-3 years later. Same old compay with extra debt! The refinancing will make no difference to Dell, since "providing useful products and services at a profit" is what management should be concentrating on.
1) Use other people's money to buy up company
2) Pay self fees for being the Buyout fixer (Profit $$$)
3) Wait 2-3 years
4) Perform IPO
5) Pay self fees for being the IPO fixer (Profit $$$)
6) Sell new shares (Profit $$$)
Apparently compiling speed is less important when using powerful CPUs and cross compiling for slower architectures.
(OK, the copyright changes in the US are quite predictable: Just look when Mickey Mouse copyright would end, then the copyright period will be extended)?
Actually, "Steamboat Willie" and "Plane Crazy" are what is copyrighted. Mickey Mouse is trademarked.
And "Steamboat Willie" was inspired by "Steamboat Bill Jr." which was named after the Arthur Collins song, "Steamboat Bill".
You need both methods.
2 out of 3 companies I worked for had a whitelisted set of tools you were allowed to install. It never contained either a the full set of tools you needed to do your work, nor the newest versions. So you were completly left in the dark if you were allowed to accept this auto-update or not.
This is the setup for employees who do not handle files from the outside world and only need internal networks.
The third company went along the lines of: We've hired expert developers, they all grew up with PC, have their own machines at home - who if not them should be trusted to know what tools they need and to discern usefull tools from BonzoBuddies.
This is the setup for employees who regularly work with outside files.
Stop looking at what you all pay as income taxes. You're missing all the taxes hidden in the cost of products and services. The only accurate measure of government interference in your lives is government SPENDING. You mistakenly belive that you are islands, isolated from the effects of taxation upon your fellow citizens. We are all part of one economy and taxation on anyone effects everyone.
