"Winning the nobel prize" is not directly related to the definition of
intelligence you proposed previously.
BTW, mathematicians are not eligible for the nobel prize.

You are very much mistaken.
At the age of 68, my mother had to find 480,000 US to pay the government
for her sister and brother in law's farm. To be fair to the government,
she had ten years to pay it off. She managed, but it wasn't easy.
She died about two months ago, and now my sister and I get to repeat
the process.
And yet, I think that we need the inheritance tax. Those who think the
inheritance tax is some sort of wicked thing should perhaps read
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison on the subject.

I believe he made his position clear in other threads. Mr Kulkis is an
industrial feudalist. He believes that education is the responsibility
of the parents, and if children have stupid parents, the chances are
that they are stupid as well ( since according to Kulkis, your IQ is
determined by that of your parents ) and since they are stupid, educating
them would be a waste of taxpayers money.
This mindset is a convenient crutch for those who oppose social mobility --
you simply declare the poor to be stupid and hence "justifiably" poor,
and the children of the wealthy to be more intelligent, hence "entitled"
to inherit positions of wealth and power in society.

Oh, I forgot about the elderly. If they can't fend for themselves, they are
derided as "parasites". Again, this issue was hashed out in an earlier thread.

The rumour says something about Nobel's wife and a mathematician ;-)
Not to mention that there is at least one Nobel winner who didn't
go to Sweden to get it (trivia ;-)

Now we are back to a free society.
I get to keep the money I earn, and personally direct what money I
feel to those in need of help WHO I SEE MAKING AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE
THEMSELVES.
I can send my kids to the school of my choosing, without having to
pay "double" .... due to the fact that my money is no longer being
stolen to finance a corrupt school system which is mostly interested
in disseminating leftist propaganda, homosexuality advocacy, and
other destructive ideas, at the expense of basic reading, writing,
mathematics and history.

Are you at all familiar with the social structure called a "family"
Children are already the responsibility of their parents.
Cutting all of the welfare programs will allow parents to retain
the money which they need to take care of their children (and
retired grandparents).

Simple: the elmination of any and all programs which function
to minimize the impact of personal irresponsibility.
If you're 70 years old and broke, that's because you didn't put
anything aside when you were young.
If you're 35 years old and can't afford to send YOUR KIDS to school,
then you shouldn't have had kids in the first place.
I am goddamned sick and tired of everybody around me sticking their
hand out expecting me to fork over my money to pay for the things
that they should be able to pay for themselves.
These assholes and idiots conveniently forget that any government
financed system is going to take a minimum of 20% in bureaucratic
overhead.
If this is such a good idea, why don't we start a program to have
the government pay for your gas when you need to refuel your car?
Or, why not have insurance companies do it?
You know damn well why we don't...because even if the price of
gas is $1.20 at the pump, the effective price to the taxpayers
would come in at close to $3.00/gallon after all of the costs
of paperwork, paper-pushers and fat-cat government directors
are factored in.
What the hell is so scary about taking responsibility for your
own decisions and your own behavior?

No. We need to eliminate the inheritance tax (PRECISELY for the

Hey, if parents don't want their own offspring to do well,
then their genetic lineage should be allowed to fulfill that wish.
This eliminates the whole branch of losers from the family tree.

Wrong.
The Nobel Prize has not "Mathematics" award.
This in no way precludes mathemeticians from doing work in other fields.
For example, Feynman was known to do work in biology.

No, we need to have exceptions to the inheritance tax to allow family
farms or family businesses up to a certain value to be passed along.
If you're so against handouts, why do you support the multimillion
dollar handouts rich parents pass along to their children?

I'm not sure that's quite the context; he wasn't asking for an
implementation of X, IMO. (I could be wrong.)
That said...pcAnywhere seems to be a tool that
allows for remote console login -- and I suspect that that merely
polls a virtual console device and throws a bunch of pixels
to the display session over the Internet -- or perhaps a
proprietary drawing format ("draw rectangle", "change color",
"begin bitmap; transmit pixels; end icon; draw bitmap") cobbled
up from instructions thrown at a GDI hook replaced during installation.
(Actually, that would be a lot like X, except for the fact that
the instructions are proprietary as opposed to documented for all
to view, hack on, sniff, whatever.)
However, pcAnywhere puts up a display session/console window to display
the remote PC's desktop, and all windows on that desktop think they're
on the PC's local display more or less; this isn't quite the same as
an executable on the remote PC opening a window across the network
using the host name of the display, which is specified to the program
either explicitly [prog -display remotehost:0] or implicitly
[DISPLAY=remotehost:0; export DISPLAY; prog].
And of course it's payware, as well. (Dunno how much.)
