But if I understand correctly people donate when they don't have to pay tax. From the twitter posts: > Individuals who fall just below the threshold one year due the chance price of silver suddenly avoid a 2.5% gvt tax. Those pe

You're right but still, I don't think it is difficult to realize that a particular process is only using one core. If you think it is, you should probably consider another application to monitor system usage.

Nautical miles make some sense because they are consistent with the lat./long. coordinate system (60 miles = 1° lat). For the rest, I'm not sure.

And since carbon is the 4th most frequent atom in the universe, you would also find a whole bunch of not-so-interesting things.

Ah, I though you were suggesting that the GDP per capita in Norway was high because of tax transparency. Now I realize that you were probably just saying that Norway and US are comparable in terms of GDP per capita. Am I correct?
