In other words, they'll post every picture online at am-i-a-terrorist-or-not.com and those who get the highest scores are detained. Thank you, Internet.
What the hell does your income have to do with a use tax? If you make more money than another guy and you buy a shovel, do you somehow derive more use out of that shovel than the other guy?
I think the assumption is that the more money you have the more stuff you're gonna buy. Since they don't expect you to accurately (or honestly) state how much you bought they just pull a number of of their ass based on your income and add it to the bottom line.
Oh well, we're never going to have any revolutions or anything over this, so who cares
I do; I'm leaving in a few months. NYC is okay, but in my opinion it sure as hell isn't worth the money.
I live in NYC and not only does just about every place I buy online from already have a store somewhere in the state so I have to pay state tax and postage, I also have to pay a NY state "use tax"--the amount due based on my income--under the assumption that I'll buy something from another state.
Dude, just look at his glasses. Look at all of the smart people's names he saddled his kid with. Can't you see that he's full of innovation and smart thoughts?
If the rivets were such inferior quality why did the Olympic sail without problems (including being rammed by the cruiser HMS Hawke) for 24 years?
TFSS of the TFA says that there were also problems with the Olympic:
A photograph taken by Harland & Wolff shows extensive damage, including open rivet holes, which suggest that the Olympic was also built with substandard rivets. After repairs, however, the Olympic had a long career, until 1935, and was even nicknamed Old Reliable.
Original IBM PC...not very useful for anything practical
You mean the IBM 5100? My folks had one doing number crunching for multi-currency sales and inventory back in 1975.
That year I only used it to play games, but later I learned about programming by printing some of those programs and figuring out how to convert the code to work on my Apple ][.
I remember, and I have never purchased a Halo/Microsoft game since. I've owned Apple computers since 1985 and I remember which companies have fucked me over (I'm looking at you, Palm).
Sure, if I were in Halo's position I probably would have taken the money, but they'll never get mine again. It's not like I needed to play their game.

Walk into high school math class at 9:45, pop quiz says the teacher, reads the questions, pausing for 30 seconds after each one, computer whirring in the corner, at 10:05 the teacher announces "Well, since 6 of you failed today we are going to study xyz"
This is already being done in classrooms with clickers.

You're that guy at parties no one wants to talk to because he's so damned pedantic.
Fixed that for you.

Sorry, those posts are irritating as hell. Please try to respond with original thoughts. Thank you.
Were you saying something? I use DoucheBlock, so I don't see these things.

Seriously? Could they possibly sound more ghetto? Sure there isn't room for a "cyber" in there somewhere?

Thanks, folks, I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

His name is Schilling? And he shills for Hillary?
Only on the off season.
What most people don't know is that this project is funded by the Tata Group
Nice. We like big tatas.
We like nano tatas too.
So, why do you think we have that much deaths by firearms here?
Because folks won't stop playing The Girl from Ipanema?
Enough of this fake "science" funded by corporations like Taco Bell.

Hope this helps.
So long as they track and kill spammers in their 20% creative time it's cool with me.
Plus none of those other monsters have as catchy a song as "C is For Cookie".
Meh. The song's not that great, but it's good enough for me.
The calculation is that it's beter for your ex-wife to have a grenade than for her to be put in a prison camp.
Do I have to give her the pin too?
We need to damn these fuckers with their own words.
Absolutely. And while I think its unlikely that we'll get a Scooby Do/The Closer confession on video, I'm willing to settle for a macaca moment.
