"to Texas, for a “better business environment” than you can apparently find in California. I think that means that the CEO doesn’t have to pay state taxes and is allowed to hunt low-level employees for sport."
Um, no. California is an offensive rip-off, which practically begs businesses to leave with such maneuvers as charging an $800 annual "tax" on ZERO OR NEGATIVE income. And that's not counting any municipal taxes, such as Los Angeles trolling around for another handout.
Think about it. First off, look at the price of a Cirrus. Not much (if any) cheaper, although it's a fully certified plane (not a light-sport).
This plane offers several important advantages. First, no hangar fees. You land and drive home.
It runs on AUTOMOTIVE GAS. This is a huge advantage.
Finally: weather avoidance. If the weather turns bad, you land and continue your trip on the ground. When it clears up, you go to the nearest airport and take to the air again. This is probably the greatest thing about a roadworthy plane.
The critical part of all this is SAVING OUR AIRPORTS. We have been robbed of thousands of airports over the last few decades by corruption, greed, and stupidity. It goes all the way up from the people who move next door to an airport and then start bitching about it (ahem Santa Monica) to the politicians who pander to them while taking handouts from developers; to those developers who goad all of them on so they can move in for the land grab.
Stand up for your local airport. They are an irreplaceable part of our national transportation infrastructure. Without them, advances like the Terrafugia and electric planes will die because there will be no market.
Take a flying lesson! That's a unique opportunity that the rest of the world has squandered. Just ask Europe, where user fees have essentially destroyed general aviation. And the Obama administration has been trying to do the same thing here year after year after year.
Nobody asked for or authorized "their way." Their way aucks, as does their entire communication system. Even their intra-Facebook messages are a disgraceful mess. Messages are simply tacked onto threads that are months old. Different types of communications are scattered all over the place. Friend requests, direct messages... it's pathetic.
Facebook is not that complicated a concept, yet they manage to screw it up royally and never fix it.
This is such a tired bunch of FUD. Domain names are no different from any other conveyance of trademark.
Corporate entities already have all kinds of specialized domains that could be bullshit. Verizon Wireless's is vzw.com. What does that tell the user? Jack diddly.
Limited TLDs should be abolished. If you can't be bothered to read the name of the domain or type it in correctly, then don't shop online. Good luck with that new Louise Vuiton purse, BTW.
