Ya pain in the ass, but basically they are saying "we will provide this service as long as you obey the rules". Put stuff where it doesn't belong and your service should be stopped. You figure out what to do with your own garbage - you created it after-all, it is your responsibility not the responsibility of the rest of us.
Rent is still taxes as income for the person that receives it. Whether the tax is placed before the price is advertised or after is unimportant. Wrong again.
The poor are forced to spend almost all (if not all) of their income on necessities. The amount of sales tax they will pay, expressed as a percentage of their income, will be vastly higher than that of a person making over $100k/yr. This makes it a regressive tax.
eg. (say sales tax of 10%)
Poor person:
Income: $15,000
Spending: $13,636
Sales Tax: $1,363
Sales Tax as % of income: 9.1%
Rich person:
Income: $100,000
Spending: $60,000 (say)
Sales Tax: $5,454
Sales Tax as % of income: 5.5%
Luxury taxes and removing taxes from necessities can mitigate this, but sales tax is by definition a regressive tax. Please do your homework before posting
The answer is clawbacks. Let the bankers share in the liabilities and losses they cause by the risks they take. The current system rewards profit, but does not punish loss - therefore incentivizing extremely risky positions and creating massive systemic risk.
Taxing sales rather than income tends to promote savings, (which I think is a good thing)
It penalizes those who cannot afford to save (the poor) and assists those who already save a significant portion of their income (the rich). Sales tax is a regressive tax - I prefer income tax, even a flat income tax is better than sales tax.
Yes but the question is can the federal government pass on its powers to the state legislature to decide? Me thinks they need a constitutional amendment for this to work.
That's like saying "if noone else shows up to the marathon, I can come in first!" The "decidetely non-capitalistic government" was the only large entity in existence, therefore it MUST have done the vast majority of ecological damage.
Your example therefore has no bearing on anything, other than to state that "faced with the lack of competitors, what remains must place 1st in all conceivable metrics".
I think they are all correct. Saying a trend is irreversible does not mean you are going to see the final effects of the trend immediately. Anyone who says "well the catastrophe hasn't happened yet, therefore they must be wrong" has a serious problem with logic.
Yes but they are also NOT sending the referrer information when you click on a link that is secure. Those that SHOULD be getting the information, but since they didn't pay Google for it, Google doesn't send it to them.
The keyword is "always". When you use an absolute, it will change peoples' answers. If you were to ask the same question in the form of "are science and religion sometimes/usually at conflict?", you will see a much different result. That being said, there is really nothing to be seen here.
^ This.
this is exactly what has people up in arms: what MS can do to force lock-in, they will do. What hardware vendors can do to make more money without doing extra work, they will do.
You are missing the point: the point is that the HARDWARE could potentially be locked down. All that smoke you just talked out your ass is about why they wouldn't lock down the SOFTWARE.
It doesn't mandate that you enter into these contracts. It says that if you don't, its going to tax you and put that money into a public option. You have a choice.
it is provided by the government: if you don't want to buy from any of the corps out there, you can get the public option. Think of it as a tax, where you can directly choose where your tax dollars are spent.

1. Stop using your real name, use aliases or post as AC.
2. Use different aliases for each site.
3. Use disposable email addresses for temporary logins
4. Use anonkeys1 (etc) logins
5. Use TOR for sites/comments you want truly anonymous. Also use TOR to access the email address you register with (if you EVER access that address from your own IP, you've compromised the account... throw it out)

you can. you create a named range.
me thinks you need to go back to xml school
YAY someone who read the article!!
Well, except they also do not send the referrer to https website that do not pay. That is the 2nd problem.
How about you try reading TFA before asking stupid questions.
according to SSL specifications. go RTFA ... but of course the "score 4 interesting" grandparent obviously didn't, why would anyone expect you to

Canada is starting to get better competition with the new AWS band (assuming the CRTC/parliment don't fuck up Wind mobile due to foreign ownership).
I'm on Wind Mobile for $40/month with UNLIMITED Data/sms/local calling/canada long distance/US long distance
it doesnt get much better than that
