But the Federal government can choose to not pay out to that state if they continue to apply the use tax.
Same as the Feds can't set state speed limits, but for the longest time would withhold highway dollars if the speed limit was higher than 55.
I'm well aware of the split of federal and state powers. If you can take your head out for a minute, it's not about whether a state can or cannot implement a tax. The posted problem is that a state cannot force another state to collect tax for them.
I'm sure you can figure that out.
So it's not about OVERRIDING anything. States are not going to create more sales taxes. That's stupid. They just don't have the reasonable ability to collect on the taxes they have.
The Federal government has the ability to create a tax that a state would not otherwise be capable of implementing. Following? Therefore, you can create an interstate sales tax for retailers that don't do business in the state they are selling to. For instance, if Amazon has no Hawai'i outlets, they collect a federal sales tax on the sale. Olympia doesn't get this money; Honolulu does.
If that's too confusing, so be it. I'm done.
And just for balance, I'll tell you that my company would never have adopted a system if not for what has been a dead-simple, cloud-based solution that is very solid. Do they do things a little differently? Yep. But they bust their collective asses for their customers. I'll take some imperfections that way. But to be clear, they have never lost one bit of our data.
KISS.
Can we get over it already? All of these "religions" that are violent are obviously a falsehood.
Jesus Christ
Mohammed
WTF Ever.
Find a philosophy, and stop acting as if someone from a Bronze-era fable is your basis. The Third Millennium should be about how people got over this BULLSHIT. All of it. We're here, and that's what it is. Pretending violence "is in the name" of any of that is a crock, and indefensible. "Freedom of Religion" is in no way allowable to tread on ANY of my freedoms. Get over it.
Would it not make sense to, in this case, institute a set amount of tax? Make Use Taxes a thing of the past; they are the worst possible kind of tax. It's a remnant of the possession tax, and it does no one any good.
In any case, what should be happening is online retailers should be collecting between 0-10%, and sending it in for Federal collection. From this, the Feds redistribute to the states directly. I'd prefer 0%, but if a tax is to be collected, I don't want my state forcing me to self-report on something that is entirely confusing and desperately unnecessary.
No one is saying that almost every major makes "Intro to computing" compulsory now. Why is it that we are surprised? The more you require people that aren't interested, the more they'll cheat. The more widely compulsory you make these courses, the more dumbed-down they are; the kids that are good are going to be lazy on purpose. Why not? Finally, you have tools to check that your History prof doesn't.
Three very compelling reasons why there would be more cheating, not even taking into account the ease at which it is done.
Yet, when these same kids get out in the real world, we call them EXAMPLES and REPURPOSING, and we tell them to COPY things out of books and sites that are KNOWN TO WORK. In reality, there's not enough cheating going on.
Unfortunately, we are going to be much more likely to take care of our environmental problems by eliminating a large percentage of the population in a sudden political rash decision. This planet will not sustain 7,000,000,000 human inhabitants willingly, but quicker will be the decisions of men to fix it on their own. The unfortunate part is the likelihood of this problem being solved by a minor nuclear winter are higher than anyone would like.
This only means that what everyone else is doing got to NYT -- people are using their work computers for work, and their iPhones for stuff they don't want monitored.
The software will only shift devices, not time spent.
Let's be honest. Filtering is about not getting sued. Kids go home and see way worse. Then they come back to school with that URL, and they would leave it on a screen for all to see. I know; I did it. Stupid, 8-bit gifs of boobies, because I could. If the wrong person sees that, someone gets in trouble. If a parent hears though that whitehouse.com is available without a reasonable measure of protection, all holy hell fire and brimstone is comin' down on your terrorist school for those boobies.
But don't forget; you can't unsee goatse. You sure you want a 9 year old going there? I'm all for freedoms, but let's just be a little careful.
Oh yes... remember how RAM "disks" would soon rule once we got to a gig of ram, and all that extra ram was unneeded?
There will be a time in the near future when you start seeing common augmentation (+1 for boobies being first).
I'll drink to that. I obviously was aware of the e-brake. That said, you're right - a little armchair engineering is exactly what should go on. What shouldn't go on is the speculation that no one has ever thought that turning off some of the backup systems should only be done with the greatest of care and thought. It is an industry that replaces parts based on flight hours and not wear. I'm actually a little surprised about how everyone jumped all over the "lack of backup". That's one hell of an ASSumption.
I love how everyone here just damn well knows what's better for the FAA. All the OMG they better have a backup, as if it's Windows Me or something.
Look; pilots are very smart people. They aren't going to get in a plane that doesn't have some sort of backup nav. That said, you guys worry about things way too much. I know one-engine props crash more than passenger airliners, but how many of you have been on a dual turbo-prop? They say the other engine will get you all the way to the crash site... And how many of you guys have backup systems for your car's brakes? No? No one? OMG!!! Really? You could skid through an intersection at any time!
Look at what Microsoft has done to everyone. As they say, I'm really glad the rest of the world is more reliable than Windows.
This isn't baffling at all. People enjoy the games because they happen within some very controlled environments, on their time, at no risk to them, and with few variables to consider. The more complex you make the games, the less they are games. The reason people pick them up is that the themes are simple and already understandable.
Farm? Plant, grow, pick. Got it. When it gets more complex, like what day do I plant given the current weather patterns, or you must be doing this at a specified time, it's work.
Now, please pay me some money, because you wasted all the fucking research dollars.
Hey, technogeek, "most people" are the people you're supposed to work with.
You guys get all bent when Apple is 'draconian', and yet you come to conclusions about average users. It's not that at all. It doesn't matter what OS you're talking about. When is the last time you tried to update your security? OK, go have someone at least 60 years old do it for you, and all you can do is talk without seeing the screen. See how long THAT takes.
The more difficult security is to deal with, the less often it is used, and that's not just computers. That's EVERYTHING security. I would make the case that it is more important to get the security updating as seamless and silent as possible.
Folks, nothing could be better than trading with your enemies. It has worked for millennia, and will continue to do so.
Trade Iran's government into a needy, third-world leech. It's better than a war. Their people are magnificent, intelligent, and just like us in many cases. Hell, they even get all ideological, like Joel O'Steen and such.
Let's trade some curry and hookahs for blue jeans, and call off the war, k?
You guys bashing don't get it. Your Netbooks will do more. That's the point. Apple is all about giving you the 50% of functions you need, and polishing the hell out of it.
My grandmother won't get a netbook. She will get an iPad. She's not encroaching on your geek demographic.
For you logic types, iPad potential customer base > Netbook targeted customer base.
It will win because it does less.
Until you understand that concept, stay in your sheltered Netbook world. Oh, and update your virus definitions. And defrag your disk. Be sure to reboot today. Oh, update those drivers, too.

That's a shitty religion... Ba dum *crash*

Nope. All they care about is their religion. As they say, religion is like a fart; everyone else's stinks.

Hey dick, how's that "sales tax" working out when I said that USE TAXES are the problem? How about sticking to the story...
Tongue in cheek, folks... damn.

What is rational about all the hurdles you have to jump through now?
Hey, technogeek, "most people" are the people you're supposed to work with. You guys get all bent when Apple is 'draconian', and yet you come to conclusions about average users. It's not that at all.

Does this not seem like the most wasteful project ever? Can I get my tax money spent a little more cogently?
