State and local government fiscal and tax policies introduce even more variables in the complex relationship between the real economy and financial sector. In New York and New Jersey, there are dozens of quasi-government Authorities who are empowered to contract for debt which is essentially...
Wages are financial compensation for labor. Thus a wage tax is a labor tax. This Wiki is a long list of tax protest cases. This section deals with progressive taxation and labor tax arguments:

This is a short propoganda on the benefits of quantitative easing published by the Bank of England:

In America the Fed is "expanding its balance sheet" which is the same as "quantitative easing." It is giving money to banks...
The "income" tax is actually a labor tax as it currently operates. A sales tax applies when one purchases actual income (takes goods or services from society).
Bailing out the financial system implosion fueled by low capital gains taxes, lax regulations, and perverse executive compensation...
You need to drill down and search into the CD-ROM motor rebuild links. There is a whole community of RC plane makers who build CD-ROM foamies and wire their own motors.

I agree that lower taxes are no panacea. I expected the financial system to blow up sooner or later when Bush cut taxes after 9-11 and we were in recession. During a recession there is usually an excess capacity in the economy so what is the point of cutting taxes on a wealthy business owner...
Wow. When I read the title, "positive prudence," I never would have guessed the direction of this thread! The meaning of altruism seems to have become the focus of debate.
I thought the benefits of commerce might be listed here, you know, the idea of the "invisible hand." Each person follows...
Areva (nuclear giant) buys Ausra (solar thermal technology) in this news clip:

Apparently solar thermal is considered similar to nuclear in a carbon reduction portfolio. From comments above, I wonder if solar thermal is more carbon...
Sure there are natural sources of radiation on Earth, most of which were buried by Nature in the past. I was not aware of the natural reactor so thanks for the information, here's a link:

Try Trossen Robotics if a flexible force sensor of some sort might also do for your needs.
The concept I tried to describe relates to turn-on transient conditions. This pdf is a checklist for switching power supply specification including the term "turn-on delay."

Ask the professor for a course syllabus. I took basic materials science (mostly an introduction to metalurgy) and semiconductor devices (quantum electronics, field and waves, and material science). Both courses have proven useful in my work as an engineer and patent expert. Find the professor...
This reference may be a bit overkill. The output of a switch-mode power supply includes inductors and capacitors which must absorb energy at turn-on, if I recall, it takes cycles of AC power to charge up the components and this would influence setup time:

mshelp - I assume you are joking? Yes, the "soft path" is harder than the "hard path".

Russ - I favor solar power on precept and principle. The precept is to "Love God and love your neighbor in the land." And "beat your swords into plowshares."

And in the shadow of...
