Do tax jurisdictions match up with ZIP codes?
Sometimes tax districts are based on factors other than ZIP code. There are a few locations within certain states that have more than one tax jurisdiction for a single ZIP code. This can make it tricky to determine which rate to use based solely upon the 5 digit ZIP code.
We’ve made it possible for you determine which rate to use by providing multiple results for these locations. Zip2Tax default result is the municipality that is home to the U.S. Post Office – in the Tax Tables, this location is denoted with a "1" in the Primary Record column. The other rows for that ZIP code show all of the other communities sharing the same ZIP code.
You can manually select the row with the closest city and special district match, or, if you are a Database Interface or Tax Tables subscriber, you may be able to program your systems to automatically make the match.
Why is it that so many people pontificate on the GPL without bothering to read it first?
I don't know, why do you?
Both v2 and v3 of the GPL make it very clear that you must offer the source code to anyone who asks for it.
Wrong. You have to do one of two things. Distribute the source with the binaries, OR provide a written offer of sourse to anyone who requests it. From the GPL FAQ (bold mine):
"If you choose to provide source through a written offer, then anybody who requests the source from you is entitled to receive it.
If you commercially distribute binaries not accompanied with source code, the GPL says you must provide a written offer to distribute the source code later."
You're making assumptions about what I'm like because I mentioned a fact about how much television the average American watches (34 hours per week)? Interesting, considering I don't even have cable so I'm just as atypical as the other guy and people are certainly not like me on average.
I find Netflix has plenty of selection for my needs. I'll find an entire series I never saw, for example I'm watching BSG right now, and watch two or three episodes each weekday. That will keep me busy for almost two months and it only went four seasons.
I don't need a babysitter (though my wife might disagree) I'm in my late thirties and we don't have any kids. Also fairly atypical.
First, most people are not you. Second, Netflix allows you to distill what you do want to watch and do so all at once. Third, that applies to the entire household of at least two or three, commonly more.
The Great Google Hard Disk Study revealed that no brand was "more reliable" than any other.
No, it said the exact opposite of that.
"Failure rates are known to be highly correlated with drive models, manufacturers and vintages [18]. Our results do not contradict this fact."
FWIW the single biggest factor they found which correlated to failure was heat. If your drive runs hot then expect trouble.
It said the exact opposite of that, too.
"The figure shows that failures do not increase when the average temperature increases. In fact, there is a clear trend showing that lower temperatures are associated with higher failure rates. Only at very high temperatures is there a slight reversal of this trend."
No, but the highest rate Netflix streams at in the real world, less than 2.6Mbps on Verizion FIOS, is about 1.1 GB of data per hour. Downloading a two hour movie in high def is easily well over 2 GB, often twice that at 1080p with 5.1 sound. So really you're saving bandwidth by choosing to stream from Netflix.
Large, heavy aircraft cannot take off from ski jumps. That makes them mostly unsuitable for US carriers as the Super Hornet is one of the mainstays of the airborne fleet.
But it does not support the ePub format, which was the point. I am well aware that ePub can be converted to another format, but that's not really relevant to the statement at hand, which was that "it reads ePubs".
It's not "completely different". It's not identical, no, but it's similar. You were the one speaking in absolutes. There are plenty of situations where a sale does in fact have "backsies". Replace car with "Playstation 3" or any other consumer product without a title trail. The point is that someone was damaged by Amazon's actions and Amazon had the ability to correct the situation because it was a digital sale. Paying compensation is generally second best to remedying the actual damage,

I thought that the names had to be approved by the IAU or something.
The IAU gives objects like that designations. They do not name them and have no plans to do so.
I think that every state will eventually start issuing sales and use certificates for companies that want to sell into their state.
States cannot regulate interstate commerce, that's explicitly reserved to Congress. Any solution will have to come from Congress.

Of course it is. It was created by the people who created Diablo.
You do in wargaming, and to a lesser extent, rpg circles.
D&D has been multiple books since the first day it existed as little paperbacks.
Of course, yes, there is always Cyanogenmod
Cyanogenmod isn't actually supported on the Galaxy S sold in the US.
Yet you weren't confident enough to post your flame under your real login? Even the pseudo-identification of a slashdot login? How confident of you.

It has a cap at 50GB a month (which is already pretty generous)
You have an interesting idea of "generous". Two hours of Netflix a day and your cap is gone.
He's using the product in a manner for which it was designed and sold. How is that not the "right tool"?

And if you don't play optical media that's $30 wasted.
How does one "waste" bandwidth on a home network?
Russia operates Mig-29s and Su-33s off of carriers with ski jumps - and the Su-33 is heavier than a Superhornet.
But they can't be loaded to full weight when launching off a ramp. they needs to be either light on armament or be air refueled.
Smaller carriers that only use VSTOL aircraft could benefit from a ski jump, I don't know why it hasn't been implemented there.
Large, heavy aircraft cannot take off from ski jumps. That makes them mostly unsuitable for US carriers as the Super Hornet is one of the mainstays of the airborne fleet.

My wife's un-modded Kindle reads her non-Amazon epubs just fine.
No it doesn't.
The Kindle does not support the ePub format. Amazon does not sell ePubs and has never wrapped one in their own DRM.

From talking to some patients it appears thet the worstaions are operating, but they have functioning network connectivty.
That's awful. I hope the network goes down soon.
