  2. to continue reading this article on City Laws Only Available Via $200 License · · Score: 1

    you will need to come by my office. I printed this page of comments and put it on a CD for $200. You can also purchase the "audiobook" version, where I hire an old 4-pack/day biker to read the article and comments into a $12 USB microphone, doing voice interpretations where necessary depending on comment score. That downloadable copy is $300, because it comes with a 15-second RIAA warning.

    "Falboart" apparently thinks highly of his cubist work. Is Falboart an anagram for "Borat Laf?"

    Sounds like they're training programmers for free. Would you want someone working for you that had never touched your engine and would cost $50K to train, or someone who had spent many caffeine-filled nights writing exceptional code on their own time, for fun?

    Since when did you need to be able to prove something in order to be required to pay tax on it?

    You're not following me. You said that you have to pay tax one way or the other, correct? From what you say, it appears to be a choice.

    How does the UK keep track of how the actual taxes are paid, either through the fuel or directly? If I am supposed to be paying through the fuel, who keeps track of the tax I have paid? Maybe I'm just driving less and using less fuel.

    I'm not being deliberately obtuse; I'm just an American.

  9. does anyone else think on Spring Design Sues Barnes & Noble Over Nook IP · · Score: 1

    that this is fishy?

    Spring Design claimed that the two companies had meetings and other communications, reaching all the way to the executive level, on the subject of the product and collaboration.

    Why would a company take its ideas to a corporate giant, discuss and disclose their plans, then both companies release a similar product? TFA says nothing about the two companies' plans falling apart and going their separate ways with Non-Disclosure agreements in hand. What went wrong? If Spring has a legal foot to stand on they'll rake them over the coals, legally. If the NDAs can't be produced and approved meeting minutes detailing a failed offering aren't shown, B&N could get away with this.

    "Oh, they brought in this cool idea and said we could use it. No, we didn't sign anything saying we wouldn't... here is the video surveillance tape of their developers handing out copies of the software... we thought it was open source"

    How could they enforce that? Using multiple PCs with the same MAC address would probably be enough to fool it.

    I agree with the spirit of what you say, but I'm blown back by what you actually said.

    It's bad for civilians to prepare themselves to kill cops. If cops prepare to kill civilians, well, that's ok.

    here's the catch:

    Cops prepare to kill civilians because not all civilians are "good".
    Civilians shouldn't prepare to kill cops because cops by definition aren't "bad".

    Personally, any civilian holding a weapon that is pointed near/at me/mine is a threat, and I would fill them fill of holes if necessary, even without aiding and abetting.

    link to said guy with said biodiesel and said jailable offense? I believe it, but I'd like to read about his "trouble", because if he operated a legit business creating biodiesel in his garage, that would create a whole new issue. He would have to "sell" the biodiesel to himself and report the taxes on the sale. If it's a hobby thing, he'd still be subject to EPA regulations. Not sure that the "tax evasion" is the heart of the matter.
