That only means that the IRS is permitted to estimate how much you made.

Not a big believer in docking stations, I see. I leave the big screen, the fancy keyboard, the network and printer connections on my desk when I leave. When I'm at lunch, or at a coffeehaus, I've got the built in keyboard and trackpad. When I'm on the bus or plane, or lounging on the sofa, clickity-click, Barba-trick, I've got a nice tablet for watching videos or playing puzzle games. All on one device...

At least in my mind. In my mind, it is also waterproof, sunlight readable, full color, and folds down to the size of a smartphone.

But... is it the disappearing snow that is causing the appearance of touchscreens - or the appearance of touchscreens that is causing the disappearing snow?

[shrug] So? Touchscreens are for both. [/shrug]

Really? Draw a picture of a wedge of swiss cheese.

It would seem to me that the current layout with its rows for the electron shells, and the columns for how many electrons are in the shell, would be of much more use. I'm not a chemist, but I don't see how a spiral layout would be "better" at pointing out relationships between the elements.

How do you determine holding time? If I buy 3 this morning, sell 2, buy another 5 at noon, sell 11, buy 4, sell 2, buy 3, what have I held, and how long have I held it? Is it first in, last out, or first in, first out? Do I get a tax refund for the time I held a negative quantity?

It's not a simple problem, and the solution is not going to be simple either.

I had ordered one of those, but I sold it before it before it was delivered. Made a cool $23.

Whether you are being arrested or not, you have the right to remain silent, to an attorney, yada, yada, yada (It's been a while since I watched a cop show depicting the reading of the rights. Do they still show that?). Your rights are there for you to claim.

Taken away, no. Waived, yes.

Bah! We don't need your stinking papers! We've got it all digitally now. You were scanned and catalogued from birth.

Yes, they will. As weaknesses in facial recognition systems get discovered, they will get patched. Soon it won't matter if you grow or shave your facial hair, whether you dye or bleach your skin, or whatever.

What makes you think it isn't already here? I've heard of things going the other way. If you don't grease the palm of the inspector, an arrowhead might fall out of his pocket, and "Oh, look! We must be on sacred ground. Looks like you'll have to stop digging until we get the permits re-examined and squared away."

What if you're mixed? There are XX males and XY females. XXY and XYY are also possible. Sometimes twins are conceived, but one absorbs the other. It's not quite as simple as you make it out to be.

Technically "bicycle" means "two wheels", which this has.
