I really wish you hadn't posted that. They do not yet charge sales tax or income tax in such situations, but, really, you should not give them ideas (no matter how ridiculous they seem to you).
Except that Amazon does not get to decide whether they should charge sales tax on shipping. I know that in my state, the sales tax law is very specific as to what charges must have sales tax applied to them. Of course part of the reason they do that is because it is completely non-intuitive. When I first started working, I worked for a general merchandise store. The sales tax laws have changed since then, but at the time a woman's wallet was taxable because she carried it in her purse, but a man's wallet was not because he wore it in his pants pocket. The changes to the sales tax law have made the distinctions between taxable and non-taxable even more bizarre since then.
You know I overlooked that. That is very appropriate, since the Model T is what killed off the electric car about 100 years ago. I know they are trying to imply that they are at the same point in the development of the electric car that the Model T was in the development of the ICE car, but it just took 100 years longer.
Romney will likely select someone who would have voted against the Supreme Court decision in Kelo vs New London and may rule to overturn it. Obama will almost certainly nominate someone who would uphold that decision. Kelo vs New London is the most significant civil liberty decision in the last 15-20 years and it was decided against civil liberties with the "liberal" faction of the court supporting the decision to empower the government at the expense of the citizens and the "conservative" faction voting in favor of the citizens' rights. If you like the Kelo decision, then you want Obama re-elected. If you don't like it, you want him voted out of office.
Well, yes, but a "coded message" might not be an "undecoded message". That is, a "coded message" might have been decoded at some point, whereas an "undecoded message" has never been decoded.
That was why I accepted what was said about qwerty vs Dvorak keyboards. Well, that and the fact that QWERTY is universal for every language that uses the Roman alphabet, while the Dvorak keyboard must be altered for each language (as frequency of use of each letter varies from language to language).
Perhaps if you went to the original post and followed the link and then followed the link that the author of that article provided maybe you could discover these things.
Only if you stop reading before the author tells you that he was corrected by someone who had better information. The article ends like this:
Baloney, say the authors of the article you enclose, S.J. Liebowitz and Stephen Margolis. They point out that (1) the research demonstrating the superiority of the Dvorak keyboard is sparse and methodologically suspect; (2) a sizable body of work suggests that in fact the Dvorak offers little practical advantage over the QWERTY; (3) at least one study indicates that placing commonly used keys far apart, as with the QWERTY, actually speeds typing, since you frequently alternate hands; and (4) the QWERTY keyboard did not become a standard overnight but beat out several competing keyboards over a period of years. Thus it may be fairly said to represent the considered choice of the marketplace. It saddens me to know I helped to perpetuate the myth of Dvorak superiority, but I will sleep better at night knowing I have rectified matters at last.
You obviously did not read the whole article, because after he says all that he adds the following after someone sent him an article challenging what you quoted:

My understanding is that they got a law passed in Sept of 1950 giving them that trademark in just about everything. The exceptions are listed in the following:
The word Olympic may be used, without sanction, to identify a business or goods or services if:
1. such use is not combined with any of the Olympic trademarks
2. it is evident from the circumstances that such use of the name "Olympic" refers to the naturally occurring mountains or geographical region of the same name, and that it does not refer to the Corporation or to any Olympic activity
3. such business, goods or services are operated, sold and marketed in the state of Washington, west of the Cascade Mountain range, and marketing outside this area is not substantial
Also, any use of Olympic commencing before September 21, 1950, may continue.
No, because ACOG did that under the auspices of the IOC, which has had the trademark on "Olympic" in the U.S. since at least 1950 (according to the USOC, any use of Olympic that dates to before September 21, 1950 is not in violation of U.S. trademark law).
Perhaps it does not fit your definition of the cloud, but there are numerous companies that are selling it as the cloud...including some of those whose data centers were impacted by the storm.
Because the area covered by tropical storm force winds was 943 miles in diameter. This is close to twice that of other major hurricanes to make landfall in the U.S.
Isaac (2012)---450 miles
Ike (2008)---485 miles
Katrina (2005)---435 miles
Isabel (2003)---575 miles
What makes Hurricane Sandy a superstorm is the amount of area that was covered by damaging winds.
I am pretty sure you are supposed to think that sound is a cruise ship horn. I was getting that on my company issued cellphone for awhile, although I have not gotten it for about a month now.
Once again you will need to be more specific, there is not just one cancer of the lungs, or of the pancreas or of the bowels. The most common form of colon cancer is curable if caught early enough. I see that you did not include leukemia, which used to be one of the prime examples of what you are claiming up until they started curing the various forms of that.
Wow, just wow. You really believe that. The European Union countries, which were theoretically all on board for the Kyoto protocols were further from meeting their Kyoto obligation than the U.S., which never signed on...You remember the Kyoto protocols, the ones that Clinton never bothered to submit to the U.S. Senate for ratification, but which the U.S. Senate vote 97-0 to reject?
What reality are they denying? The reality that either we will take world-wide coordinated action against carbon-induced climate change or...
Except that reality is that mankind will not take world-wide coordinated action against carbon-induced climate change. That has nothing to do with "deniers". It has everything to do with the fact that India and China (and many other developing nations) have other priorities at this time. So, you had better hope that the "deniers" are more right than you are because that is the reality. There are several major nations that are only too happy to make deals with the industrialized nations so that the industrialized nations will cripple themselves, but those other nations have no intention of limiting their CO2 emissions if it means slowing down their own industrialization.
I will repeat, there will be no "world-wide coordinated action". There never has been, there never will be. The closest the world has ever come to "world-wide coordinated action" was when the British Navy imposed the end of the slave trade on the world with the reluctant cooperation of the rest of the world's powers (who only cooperated because the Royal Navy was in a position to pretty much effect that result whether they cooperated or not by making the slave trade too expensive to be profitable).
You are correct about the Poster you responded to. However, there is a reason the last flu pandemic with major world health implications was in 1918. That is because that was the last flu pandemic before modern medicine (which I date from the development of sulfa drugs, although some might move it to the mass production of penicillin). Many of those who died from the 1918 flu pandemic actually died from opportunistic infections that attacked them while they were in a weakened state from the flu infection, not from the flu itself. Today most of those opportunistic infections are treatable. It is improbable that we will have a repeat of the 1918 flu pandemic unless we have a collapse of industrial society.
Now cancer? There is a disease i doubt they'll ever find a cure for, because if it did it would cost them billions.
Which cancer are you talking about? There are many different diseases which come under the heading of "cancer", several of which have cures available today.
My point is that this is a law which will encourage businesses to locate as much of their operations outside of California as possible. It will encourage companies to create divisions outside of California that can be considered separate entities from the parts that do business in California and use those divisions to write apps.
How do I figure? The evidence suggests as much. A large part of the reason it costs so much to get elected is because incumbents have been passing laws that raise the barriers to unseating them (they call these barriers "campaign finance reform") every couple of years. In addition there have been several studies that show that first term legislators are less susceptible to pressure from special interest groups and to other forms of lobbying.

Also, any use of Olympic commencing before September 21, 1950, may continue.
They did not say, "most recently active", they said "youngest". I would read that to mean the volcano that had it's very first eruption most recently.
No, because ACOG did that under the auspices of the IOC, which has had the trademark on "Olympic" in the U.S. since at least 1950 (according to the USOC, any use of Olympic that dates to before September 21, 1950 is not in violation of U.S. trademark law).

Why would the fact that someone living in Quebec is unfamiliar with a paper published in a town in France be an indication that they were stupid?
