States To Try Taxation Of The Net Again

kimbermatic writes "From the Denver Post comes this article that the states are ready to try and tax the internet sales once more. The poor economy is sending the 'hounds' sniffing for more money. An interesting, and alarming read if your interested in protecting online merchants from this taxation plan." 'though it's not really online sales that are the big ones people want -- it's catalog mail order sales, which are still much bigger then online sales.

    At subway, you get a sub prepared anyway you like, by the friendly, efficient staff. Choose from mouth-watering veggies, succulent meats and cheeses, and a variety of freshly-baked bread. Why not stop in today and pick up some subs for the whole family to enjoy. I suggest the Italian BMT, piled high with genoa salami, pepperoni, ham, and provolone cheese. Top it with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles, a few spritzes of italian dressing, and a dash of salt and you've got a meal fit for king. Subway: eat fresh!

    fo shizzle my nizzle click here [jareddispatch.com] (note: the site is currently down. I expect it to come back online around Thanksgiving) to dispatch Jared and his formerly overweight goons to crack down on Subway if they don't honor the $3.49 Troll Tuesday deal. Make sure you provide the store number and address. Mine is store number 5839. Don't believe me about the concept of the jared dispatch? Yahoo has an article about it here [yahoo.com], although it is pretty light on the details.

    Note: I've gotten a few comments that the link to Jared Dispatch doesn't work. I think the site got taken down because of abuse of the service. Although the site got taken down, I still highly reccomend Subway and their high quality subs. To show my appreciation, here is a link to Free Subway Coupons. I had to redirect it through Yahoo's site redirector, because my of the filter at work. Anyways, here is the link! [yahoo.com]

    Note2: I've received word that those links to yahoo actually point to goatse.cx. I am truly sorry about that, and I found the cause. A couple weeks ago, a hacker broke into yahoo and set up some scripts that redirect the user to goatse.cx if a file is in a certain directory. I accidentally tried to access a file in one of those haunted directories. I fixed the links (I have a cousin who works at yahoo), so they should bring you to the actual sites now, not goatse.cx. Update 10/28: The hacker, or should I say hax0r, actually has posted a page on yahoo on how he did it and how the goatse redirector works. It's a very good read. I suggest reading it soon before yahoo finds out about it and takes it down. Check it out ASAP [yahoo.com]!

    Seriously.. where has he been lately? I have seen no articles from him. All these new changes with the Internet and not a word from Junis about how his country and himself are coping.

    Has Junis tried the new DVD players that do DIVX yet? What is his take on them?

    WASHINGTON (AP) - Murder, rape and every other violent criminal act except aggravated assault rose last year, the FBI (news - web sites) said Monday in reporting the first year-to-year increase in overall crime in a decade.

    The number of murders increased for the second straight year, following several years of decline, according to the FBI, which compiles its annual survey from crimes reported by 17,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide.

  10. The Slashdot Ethic by Busty+Amateur · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The point of slashdot has become to get your post or story in before everyone else does. Gone are the days when people actually considered if they had something to add to the discussion. These days, everyone jumps right in, with 30% of the posts belonging to trolls, 50% to people who are (attempting to be) funny and the rest to people who actually add insightful or informative information to the article.

    Slashdot has become a parody of itself - the site that offers the freshest news offers the stalest of ideas (beowulf clusters, petrified natalie). Even a post like this is uber-meta: it doesn't deal with the site, it deals with the users and what has become of them.

    If any of you mod this up, know that this post is completely offtopic.
