In many countries what separates a Civil Union (that may in fact also be between Man and Woman) and Marriage are tax benefits an easy fix would be to just tie the tax benefits to something else, like the fact that you are raising children.

I might be wrong, but I think make does not work the way you think it does: First of all files you write to disk are not actually written to the harddrive immediately there are several caches in between, secondly if make has to process a fi

It is in the interest of the early adopters. For those not involved yet that have never mined before it might be more fun / interesting to adopt a new coin, for which there are no ASIC implementations.

The last time I tried to use an AMD video card with 3d acceleration under Linux it was a horrible experience. Nvidias binary drivers just work out of the box even with the most recent hardware and have OpenGL 4.3 support. Has the situation

Hollywood shutting down would not be a huge loss to the world. Movies of cultural value could still be funded and then be made available to the public.

The alternative is to ask people to fund the movie in advance. Either in forms of a mandatory fee (like in Germany where each household has to pay ~20 Euro for public television) or in some other way. Since digital copies are free, their pr
