The tax on the profit from selling the bread is more akin to the tax paid on dividends by someone who holds stock, which is taxed like any other income. Tax on the sale of stock is more like tax on the the sale of the bakery. As I'm not in the business of finance (or baking) I can't compare the difference in tax on these actions, but the reduced tax rate on capital gains is not for frequent traders as it only applies to long term gains (stock that is held for at least a year).
It looks like you're trying to drive over the speed-limit. Would you like to...
- Slow down?
- Alert local authorities?
- Opt for additional insurance coverage?
- Locate a runaway truck ramp?
The motion-capture of the guy swinging from the monkey-bars looks somewhat realistic until you realize that his hands are swinging around in the rendering when they should be (and are) stationary on the actor.
Should be interesting when the technology matures, though.
I use google sets from time to time when I can't remember something, like the name of a product or company, by generating a list from items I know are similar.
In the video (spoiler alert!), after players accomplish the three stages of the challenge (extracting coal, 'conserving energy' by turning off electric devices in town (including stoplights??), and constructing alternative energy devices, they go to the town square for a celebratory country ho-down. No joke.
maybe now you will see the dark side of outsourcing to a country like China.
What does the place of manufacture have anything to do with fake retail stores? Wouldn't this be just as news-worthy if this was happening in Latvia?
Presumably the cost of surreptitiously acquiring the merchandise for unauthorized resale is much easier when it is manufactured in the same country, particularly if that country is known to be a relative safe haven for dubious business practices conducted at the expense of Western interests.
The phone was found on top of a building, so its a decent bet the landing wasn't so gentle. However, the summary omits the fact that the phone had a protective case (and that the glass on the phone was completely shattered and the UI inoperable).
1. The glass was completely shattered, the only reason they say it "survived" was that it could still receive a phone call, and he could only make a call by using the bluetooth connection in his truck (also the GPS worked which is how they found the phone).
2. The phone had a protective case (not pictured in the article), so you can't solely credit the device itself.
3. As he found the phone on top of a building within half a mile of his landing point, he was apparently skydiving in a populated area. He's lucky the article title isn't "Innocent bystander doesn't survive iPhone 4 fall from skydiver's pocket".
On the morning of February 24, Rohrer took a break from coding and pedaled to the local Best Buy. He paid $19.99 for a 4-gigabyte USB memory stick sheathed in black plastic.
Here's the DOJ's FAQ on their encryption policy:
Basically they are asking developers to create encryption software that has a government backdoor, and for corporations and individuals to use it voluntarily. They seem to think that:
Many criminals will use encryption that permits access by law enforcement, if that is the type of encryption that is commonly used and included in over-the-counter software
Because criminals buy their encryption software at Best Buy...
I can't speak for previous versions of Windows, but XP keys will never contain any vowels, nor will it contains zeros, ones, fives, or the letter 'S' or 'Z'.
I was working for an OEM at the time and had to troubleshoot with a customer who called to say his keyboard was broken because he was trying to enter his product key, and some characters wouldn't type out on the screen while others would. It turns out he was trying to enter some other code on his computer other than his key, and Microsoft wouldn't even accept the invalid characters as input (no error message or anything, the character just wouldn't type, leading the customer to believe his keyboard was malfunctioning).
The problem with this is not everybody recognizes that the "+" character is valid for email addresses when they do validation. The worst case I've come across is Dell, which was only too happy to accept my email address when I ordered something from them, but tells me the address is invalid when I try to unsubscribe from their marketing emails.
6/22/2011 - VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- A scheduled unarmed operational test Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile launch occurred at 6:35 a.m. June 22 from Launch Facility-10 here
A few of the apod.com forum users came up with the likely explanation that the effect is due to an ICBM launch from Vandenberg AFB. The timestamp of the video (accounting for time zone difference) and the Eastward direction of observation correlate with this explanation.
In their demand letter, they alleged that I was infringing on Maisel's copyright by using the illustration on the album and elsewhere, as well as using the original cover in a "thank you" video I made for the album's release.
Even if you agree that the pixelated version of the album cover was fair use (I don't), his case would have been damaged by the fact that he used the original cover elsewhere.

How do you know it wasn't really a human?
"thine contention" / "thine attitude" / "thine words" - should all be "thy"
"thy" = "your", "thine" = "yours"
"I readeth not" = wrong tense, I think you want "I didst not read"
- archaic grammar nazi

Just create a new account with a throw-away email address. I have done this four or five times all using the same credit card.

Why are you assuming that the fake store is selling the real products?
Why are you assuming they're not?

there's a difference between falling on a rock hard bathroom floor versus a bush or even grassland.
He found the gadget, its glass surfaces shattered, on top of a building about a half-mile away from where he landed with his parachute.
Chances are it was a bit harder landing than grassland. However the phone did have a protective case, and was still quite banged up from the fall.
They found it using the phone's GPS, not by using superhero powers. RTFA again please.

Chain World, Rohrer explained, was a mod, a customized version of Minecraft and a set of scripts that govern how it’s played.
On the morning of February 24, Rohrer took a break from coding and pedaled to the local Best Buy. He paid $19.99 for a 4-gigabyte USB memory stick sheathed in black plastic.
He overpaid.

The date stamp on the video is 2011-06-22. The astronomer saying it was March 22nd is probably a typo.
