For example, would he do away with all the deductions for business travel and the highly-touted investment tax credit? Or just the Earned Income Tax Credit that gives people below the poverty line extra incentive to work? Forbes and his ilk find such complexities distasteful, but they exist for very good reasons...
Looking back on his speech at the Institute of Politics (IOP) last week, we're hard-pressed to tell whether Forbes' message is driven more by stupidity or by hubris.

...Especially at the Med Center, there's an access code right now," said MIT student Linda J. Ungsunan. "A lot of times people that aren't a part of MIT can just get in by figuring out the code. The card will make it a bit more safe...
...court challenge, c't's editor, Christian Persson, and one of its writers, Ingo Storm, engaged the services of a software engineer, and together they went through the program line by line to try to plumb its inner workings. Their findings: the one patch of SoftRAM 95 code remotely resembling a compression algorithm never gets used by the program. Moreover, the two subprograms actually called on to manage memory usage appear to be copies of programs that Microsoft hands out free. Both modules increase a computer's capacity using "virtual memory," a memory-expansion technique considerably more time consuming than...
