That is just dumb. I'm actually a member of this class. I replaced my computer a couple of years ago because it died out of warranty. I never expected to get anything for it and only kept the thing in case I needed parts off of it. So, for very little effort on my part. I get a computer that, although not as good as the one I had, actually works. I don't have the funds to litigate against NVIDIA. If the computer plays movies or will surf the web, then it is already 100% better than the brick that was sitting under my bed. I'll just put Linux on it, lock it down, and send it to my mom for her email and web surfing.
Evidently, their job is to make the site so unusable as to give the upper management the reasons they need to fire 500 employees. Seriously, does any one really use Myspace anymore? The only time I go over there is to play Mobsters. I've even de-friended everyone except the four people, two of which I can't get on Facebook.
Well, if the dude does come back, what do you think the last thing he will want to see is? Pretty sure that everyone wearing a gold replica of his instrument of death is probably a bad plan.
Microsoft will be suing Google because Android needs a GMail account to utilize some of its features. God, I can't imagine using Hotmail again. BTW, I'm not so sure about Google's location service. Either I've secretly discovered warp drive or something is screwy. On many occasions, my location randomly bounces from the middle of the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the Pacific Ocean.
I already do this for free. For years, I've looked at speeding "fines" as speeding "fees". So, I speed all I want. Every once in a while (has been many years now) one of the fee collectors will stop me and tell me it is time to pay my fee again. I'm not really sure how they determine that it's time again. There doesn't seem to be any logical pattern to the fee schedule.
If my understanding is correct (not guaranteed by any means), they would only be in violation if they released the binaries. Any work done before he worked for them is his copyright and he could release that but any work done after his hire is theirs and as long as they keep it in house, there is no violation.
When I lived in Reno, there was an access point near my apartment named FBIOPS. Either someone was in trouble or someone has a great sense of humor. Really, who is gonna try to hack that one?
It seemed like the LOL in front of the comment was self evident to me. I guess I just assume other people get the joke. But, if you feel the need to think that I'm one of those "flat worlder's" who doesn't understand the concept of a round earth that rotates, then feel free. I certainly have better things to do that to explain it any further.
Also, the United States corporations and rich people have TRILLIONS of dollars parked off shore to avoid federal taxes. That money could come back home. The United States would go from being a country that corporations avoid because of taxes, to being a country that corporations would LOVE to set up in. More jobs here.
First, they wrote it that way on purpose. Federal taxes right now are inclusive taxes. Normal State sales taxes are exclusive taxes. To make the comparison with current federal taxes, they wrote the bill inclusively (apples to apples). If the tax were figured as an exclusive tax, it would be 30%. Inclusively, it is 23%.
State taxes are figured on the item's price. The Fair Tax is include in the item's price. So, if it is marked at $100 on the shelf, the tax on that is $23, include in the $100 price tag. State sales tax on the item would be ((price - federalTax) * stateSalesTax).
Those taxes include your So So Security tax, Medicare tax, and any other federal tax that comes out of your check now. Your check would be devoid of ANY federal tax.
Used items would NOT be taxed, so the Fair Tax even promotes recycling.
The myths about the Fair Tax are debunked on their web site.
Of course private transactions are going to be rift with fraud; however, anyone who buys something in a store or gets a service in a store, WILL pay the tax, just like they pay state sales tax now.
BUT!!! Right now, people who earn money strictly in cash transactions don't pay ANY federal tax on it. With the Fair Tax, they WILL pay tax whenever they buy new items or get services. Right now, foreign visitors pay NO federal taxes. This would cause ALL of them to pay taxes here. Right now, corporations pass on the cost of their taxes and the cost of preparing taxes, to us, the consumers, in higher prices. Corporations would no longer have to pay federal taxes on earnings, just on what they buy. They would also not have to spend billions every year preparing their taxes. Those savings, because of competition, will have to be passed on as well.
The best thing about the Fair Tax movement, is that along with the Fair Tax bill is companion legislation to repeal the 16th Amendment; thus, removing Congress' authority to levy an income tax.
All new goods, and all services, would be part of the tax. That means that EVERYONE who buys anything new, or even gets a haircut, will pay the tax. Including illegal aliens, prostitutes, under the table employees, foreign visitors, EVERYONE.
I suggest you actually read the fair tax site. The fair tax provides a prebate check for taxes paid up to the poverty line, so the poor pay NO TAXES for spending on basic necessities. Used items are also not taxed.
The IRS shouldn't even exist. Why tax productive work? Why not tax consumption? The more you buy, the more tax you pay. If you save and are thrifty, the less tax you pay.

Except that there is a lot of evidence that she was using the radio in the plane for SOS calls. So, the plane survived for at least a few days.

Ah, so that's how the new Facebook profile got so screwed up!

Hmmmm. Sorry, we can't find "horsesluts9.com". We suggest that you check the spelling of the web address or search above.
Now, that's just wrong.

I'm not really sure if it is a good thing that I got the Stargate Atlantis reference here.

That made absolutely no sense.

Epoxy and some nice looking black plastic to cover the camera. Problem solved. Next?
Trust me though, low 5 digits don't work as well. They all say it's too big.
