...whereas I would rather stave off global warming, so if anyone needs me, I'll be outside emptying cans of hair spray, bug poison, and cooking oil into the atmosphere.
The summary is at odds with the article, which says that 6% of each deposit will go to the states, and 2% to the Federal government.
If the tax were 8% (total) of each wager, then this would most definitely not be kosher.
Furthermore, the 8% tax on deposits is paid by the recipients of the funds, not the gamblers themselves; you wouldn't deposit $100 to get $92, so I disagree that it is "an additional tax on the stupid". Just like in B&M casinos, there are many opportunities online where a player can have the advantage, or at least break-even in the long run, if you know what you're doing.
Their complaint boils down to "It's not fair that Google is successful."
Again, boo-fuckin'-hoo. Make something useful and maybe people will use it. Heck, you don't even have to go that far! Windows, I am looking in your general direction.
This could explain some of the Toyota crashes. The drivers don't understand what they need to do to slow down and stop the car when the accelerator acts like it's stuck.
I believe the safety manual recommends honking your horn repeatedly while screaming at the top of your lungs so as to attract the attention of others in your immediate vicinity, and once they are looking at you, raise your hands in the air (palms facing upward) with a shrugging motion so that they know there is nothing you can do to prevent their impending doom.
It is explained by the fairly well substantiated fact that humans are poor judges of exact time and memory is often faulty. You remember knowing before hand, but did you actually know it or do you just think you knew? It is easy to misjudge a few seconds.
I tend to agree with this. For me, the deja vu experience usually goes like this:
1. The deja vu feeling washes over me.
2. At this point I will do one of two things: (a) become an observer, or (b) attempt to alter the outcome of whatever is about to happen by doing or saying something strange.
3. Regardless of what I did in step 2, whatever happens is always what I seem to "remember" having happened. But I never get that feeling of certainty until after it actually happens.
That is, I never "remember" enough to actually predict what is about to happen, I just have a feeling that whatever it is will seem familiar. Then once it happens, I'm like "Yup, that's what happened!" This does not violate the arrow of time, and seems to confirm that it is indeed a trick.
In less than 8 hours we have gone from wondering about AI, to robots that have learned how to walk, to robots that are flying around shooting at people. This is all happening much too fast.
I can't wait to meet the new boss, as long as we don't get fooled again.
There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee that says, "fool me once... shame on... shame on you... if-- fool me, but can't get fooled again."
Hi, I didn't bother reading any of the 300+ posts above because I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who has come up with the following theory: Could it be that depressed people prefer to surf the internet rather than go out and do social things?

I'm more concerned with what happens when you look in the rearview mirror.
Or for that matter, any mirror. What happens if you look at your eyes in a mirror? Does it create some sort of feedback loop?
This is the link that was probably intended.
The Transportation Department says it ... plans on ramping up enforcement on state bans of hands-free phones by motorists...
Why not target hand-held phones before going after hands-free phones?
This might explain how Wikileaks did it.
And here I thought it was Midori.

These days we call this stuff 'preservatives' and add them to everything from frozen pizza to Entenmann's snack cakes.
I think I speak for all of us when I say that kerosene pizza is delicious. What do YOU want on your Tombstone(tm)? <evil laugh />

Towel is not a correct depiction of what they wear on ther heads, its more like a 'little sheet' wrapped around there heads.
Somehow I don't think they would enjoy being referred to as "little sheet heads" either.
Damnit, I made a typo. Now I'm going to hell.
I think FSM would have forgiven you for the typo...
You should see how livid one I was interacting with became!
...but that sentence was just blasphemous.
I'm so glad they included a 2D picture of the 3D-ness in action.
The greasy fingerprints were a nice touch too.
I broken the handle on my clarinet case when I hit a bully with it. They left me alone after that.
