Well in a nutshell, the US government makes the money. It can never run out. So it isn't dependent on tax revenue to spend. So the limitations on spending are elsewhere. This is a good intro: http://elliswinningham.net/

Taxes do not finance the US government. The US government creates money to finance itself. Taxes destroy money (and create demand for dollars, which is important :) Hyperinflation doesn't happen when there is too much money, it happens

If you're registered with a local NHS GP in the UK, it's very likely that your medical records are stored in a Mumps system.

A rather vague claim, needs more details. Canonical allow the use of the Ubuntu trademark to describe unmodified versions of Ubuntu (in this case, I'd guess it's their cloud server images) If you modify the images, you can still r

Great service. Enough features to be powerful, not too many to be complicated or difficult to use. Just right imo. And they're not a data mining company in disguise. Had a pro account for years and will continue to renew.

No real logic. All politics. The BBC is publicly funded and an enormous success, which is an embarrassment to those singing from the free market hymn sheet. But also, it's obviously a direct competitor to other media companies in the U

I don't have any figures for you right now, but routing is certainly a different problem than what is described in this article as routed packets don't need to be passed to userspace for any processing. Makes a huge difference for

Gray seems to approach his criticism of Pinker from pretty much the same pro-establishment viewpoint, and struggles to make clear the problems. This 2012 article by by Edward S. Herman and David Peterson demolishes Pinker's book far be

Can we please stop with the "joins" doublespeak. GoDaddy buys Nodejitsu.

Always irked by the word "joining" in this context. The CloudOn staff might be joining Dropbox. The CloudOn company is being bought by them. "Dropbox buys CloudOn".

Instead of just baseless thinking out loud, let's turn to some actual facts: http://www.gnome.org/foundation/reports/ Their 2012 annual report in particular says: "Corporate sponsorship ... up 41.6% from
