He was referring to the first six months of child raising. Therefore, the total cost is definitely higher and may well trump taxes, depending on when your definition of "child raising" stops.

If you would want to, you could probably spend double that and not even get drunk, by e.g. booking a table or w/e...
Whether it is rational/reasonable to do that is something I cannot answer generally (obviously) but to me it is not. However, as such things exist they have to be reasonable enough to some one, as they are being used.
To me the problem is more marketing those screens. I have yet to see one of them physically and that is what makes screens sell. Maybe they could try to put the screens on big players' products, if even just to get their name out there and make people aware of their existence.
Another thing which I'd personally buy if done right, is a portable screen. e.g. a small screen, maybe about 10" which is powered from usb, to e.g. attach to your laptop. With a reasonable price tag, I think it'd really sell!
That is ridiculous, I am glad that they plan to appeal. They should not be forced to basically scrape the whole web based on (faked or not) referrals for links which might include copyrighted content.
It's not like youtube has to monitor any sites which are linking to infringing content...
Not to mention that it has the office capability (arguably better from my POV), too.
I have no idea why that has not been done yet, or am I simply missing something?
That becomes even more frustrating when you (temporarily) are in another country and suddenly get smacked in your face by incorrect location based search results. If google wants to really retain traction with people who want to search for what they type (don't even get me started on the "showing results for: $bshere, if you want to see results for what you searched for, click here"), then they will soon have to provide a switch for it.
I really hope that google goes that way but I think it only crop up when people working at google find themselves using a different search engine to find (esp. programming related) specific topics.
You could buy XP licences well after Win7 launched and you still can (although primarily intended for use with the XP mode in Win7).
You were also still able to purchase Win2k licences after Vista launched...
Furthermore, I do not think that it would have much to do with viewing it through the enterprise lens as there still are many private people running outdated OS'es by choice.
However, considering how ridiculously easy it is to set up a simple rsync script, I doubt that many tech people do not do backups. Even though proper backups include frequent integrity checks, just setting up a rsync script gets you a long way already. If your data is encrypted though, a flipped bit might cause havoc already, thus making frequent backup integrity checks absolutely mandatory.
I feel though, that when you want to raise 58k and suddenly you have 1.2m on your hands, it might not even be what you desired in the first place. More often than not, the expectations rise quite a bit when the money you receive 20folds.
In case that will indeed turn out to be an issue (we will see soon enough), I think it might be sensitive to include a default setting in Kickstarter saying: "Maximum amount that can be risen: 5x the desired funding". People could still set that cap to whatever they desire, but they would have to think about it first.
Obviously, I do not know anything personally about how those guys felt raising that much, but this would be my own point of view and I think such a setting could not cause any harm...
I do not agree with sony's content creation affairs, however they continue to innovate with good products (e.g. look at the digital cameras, camera sensors etc.)
More often than not, there is no clear distinction between good and bad, certainly less so with amazingly huge companies such as sony, apple, exxon etc.
The problem with that is, that it a) doubles the amount of time needed to scan one person and b) doubles the duration of exposure to radiation.
therefore, we'd be better of with metal detectors. Aside from that, the TSA would have to explain, that body scanners are useless without scanning twice and we therefore need to expose you to the double amount of radiation...
You literally have to think of bitcoins like real cash. I know that it feels unnatural at first, as usually everything you do software side on a computer is reversible, but that is not the case with the way bitcoins work. Everyone who runs the bitcoin client validates transactions and when a certain threshold is reached, the transaction is successful.
Therefore, to prevent the validation of transactions, you would have to run an astonishing number of clients which refuse validation.
The only way you could intercept stolen bitcoins at this point is, that the services which you can use to exchange bitcoins to dollars keep a db of stolen coins and prevent those from being cashed out.
I have never really been a user of Ubuntu myself but when I (mainly) switched to Linux from Windows, it only took a couple of day to get used to it. Then again, I was never clicking the icons in the application bar before (win key -> typing -> enter).
It was actually a very solid OS from my experience.
The other thing is, that you should be able to enter tow mode just from an external power supply, so it will be trivial to pull it out of your garage.
IMO, there are two things Tesla could do, one is an automated notification when your battery runs low, presenting you the options to a) let it just sit, b) turn off all electronics to preserve a little more battery and c) to let a Tesla service guy come to save your battery.

Thank you for pointing that out. I was very surprised when I moved to Japan from Europe that being poor is highly frowned upon and soelely seen as a personal failure. Obviously, that is mostly not the case and people in Japan work therefore sometimes multiple jobs, just to not look poor through their spending habits/clothing/gadgets w/e. Resulting in being more accepted by the society.
More surprising actually is, that really poor people (read: homeless) seem to view themselves as having failed in some regard and actually dont ask other people for empathy/remorse (they wont beg, mostly).
I hope they treat the screen as a "second screen" which is mirrored...
If you stick your addressbook into a truecrypt container 100% of programs (i know there is no 100% security, but there is not enough space to spell out all 99.999999s) will not be able to access it anymore without you unlocking/mounting it first. Thus, requiring your permission.
Well, yes, but unlike on your iPhone you could actively do something against it. E.g. let outlook encrypt your address book, change the addressbook access permissions etc. it was trivial to bar anyone/thing from accessing your address book without having to remove the software you want to use.
On the iphone, you can only chose to install an app or not, if you chose to install, you have to accept anything that comes with it.
