The Washington Times: Stop 'Big Corn'

[TeyshaBlue]

What difference does it make if the end result is still the same?

They're spelled different. That's about the only functional difference.

[Wild Cobra]

They're spelled different. That's about the only functional difference.

Well, you are just proving yourself an idiot.

[coyotes_geek]

No, it matters.

With a tax break, your money can be no greater than your earnings. With a subsidy, your money can be greater than your earning.

My God....

Why am I trying to explain this again.... I must be insane. Afterall, one definition of being insane is doing the same thing over, expecting a different result....

That only applies in a specific scenario though. That doesn't negate the point that a $1 subsidy results in the same outcome as a $1 tax break.

[TeyshaBlue]

Well, you are just proving yourself an idiot.

Good work. You and my kids agree.

Doesn't make it so.

When you're ready to compare brain-pans, I'm in.

Watch it! That's idiot-speak!

You are a ing idiot.

Just because the outcome can be the same, doesn't make the real meaning of the terms the same.

definition: Subsidy

definition: Tax Break

You guys really are lib s. A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is seldom a square.

Ready to do some 68000 series programming in assembler?

[TeyshaBlue]

Settle down, little fella. It'll be ok. It's just the internets.

Ready to recite 18th century part-writing rules?


Stupid . Only you would try something as asinine as a brain fight on the internet.

Count me in! I'll even do it in hex for you:

4EF9 4845 4C4C

[SnakeBoy]

and you ain't got it right yet.

Why don't you explain it then.

[TeyshaBlue]

Brilliant!

[TeyshaBlue]

already have. There's another thread on this. Go and seek it.

LOL...

Damn...

Now where did I put my books? I said Assembler, not machine language...

Know the difference between ABCD and ADD?

First, @ you for getting all butthurt and going personal insult.

Second, @ you for thinking I'm a "lib ".

Third, @ you for not grasping the point that several people are trying to make that it shouldn't matter whether the farmers are getting a tax break or a subsidy when the net result in both cases is the same.

[Wild Cobra]

Then stop acting like one.

Well, in assembler the above would read

JMP $' '

But yes, ABCD = Add Binary Coded Decimal
whereas ADD = Regular binary add

The 68k was one of my favorites processors to work with... Many obscure features on it...

Yes, a great processor to work with. I love the fact they have direct BCD modes. If I recall, it took something like 56 clock cycles to convert a BCD to hex for the 386 processor to work with numbers.

I hadn't done any assembler programming in maybe 18 years. Didn't do much, but played with my Amiga 500, 3000, and 4000. Never as a job.

I bought my Amiga 4000 the day they were first available. Had serial number 173.

You nerds get a room...

Until you change your definition of lib to make it mean something other than "disagrees with me" then that's not something that's going to be in my control.

[baseline bum]

The most fun machine language is MIX (from Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming series), because you have to write it generally enough to work on a decimal or a binary computer (with 6-bit bytes ). Plus, self-modifying code is always fun.

Well, liberals are the only people in my experience that interchange tax break and subsidy.

How about starting to use the correct terms then.

Either way, you are using the term wrong.

Just as I thought, simplistic view.
