Because the other big online retailers (Best Buy, Target, Walmart ) have a physical presence in every state, so they charge sales tax. Amazon only has physical presence in CA and IN and maybe KY so most customers don't havr yo pay sales tax. And thats the main reason people shop online instead of locally.
How many "World Governments" are there? I only know of one (Yhe UN) and not all of the National Governments take any heed to what they say.
If there was more than one World Government wouldn't they be arguing/fighting with each other? (like during the cold war, the First World (Capitalist western Democracies) were nearly at war with the Second World (Communist Countries), and some of the fighting was in third world countries...
Were these women sexually harassed on FaceBook ? If not it has nothing to do with the case.
Anyway I know FB has a policy of "you are not allowed to give your password to others" So they should have a hotline or email or web page for reporting "I am being forced to give my password to (employer | school | court | government agency | religious authority)" before handing it over, so FB can disable access to the account.
Boomerangs have an airfoil shape in cross section, bananas are just circular in cross section. its the lift generated by the airfoil shape, and gyroscopic forces that cause a boomerang to come back. I wonder how many millenea it took for the aborigines to refine that
The question remains - what does Newsweek fly like?
". Additionally, the lasers could be combined to generate a super laser that would shoot into space, similar to the combined laser effect of the Death Star in the Star Wars trilogy, though the goal is to study particles in space, not annihilate planets.""
Don't reporters realize that Star Wars is fiction, only loosely based on science. To vaporize a planet would take more than the power output of (a star like) the sun. And shooting a big laser into space from the surface of the earth would be complicated by the atmosphere (clouds, dust particles, birds...)
Except that aliens that live clo9ser to that galaxy (whether in this galaxy or some other) may have seen it before us humans, but they probably won't be bothered telling us about it.
They are worried that Aliens might steal their technology Somebody might find out they aleady stole alien technology They are worried that the FBI might hack into their emails and find out who they are having affairs with Sheldon Addison might wonder where the money he gave Newt went
I thought that CO2 was heavier than air, so there shouldn't be any of it in the upper atmosphere. (at least not the stuff emitted by burning carbon based stuff at ground level. There could be some Methane at high altitude that gets converted to CO2 by solar radiation., and maybe jet exhaust and large volcanic eruptions.
Even when the climate changes, there will still be some areas suited to the growing of coffee, and since it is popular, people will try to grow it in those locations. Also there will be incentive to genetically modify it so it can grow in more places.
Of course there may not be enough to go around, but it won't be gone altogether.
OTOH species that live in really cold climates (like polar bears) will go extinct because there won't be any really cold places left. (And polar bears are not as useful to man as coffee)
All you have to do is hit a patch of gravel in the middle of a corner, or wet lane markings or something spilled on the road...Even small animals can be a problem
Theres only a small patch of rubber that is keeping you from hitting the road at high speed
I am amazed that70,000 years ago these toolmakers were using the metric system - yet USA is still using inches, pounds and gallons when we are trying to explore space.

I don't think we want them to discover something on Mars that actually shakes the earth
OOOOH-LAHHH

Why does fragmentation matter on Android devices? They all use Flash RAM drives, so its not spending time seeking like the old physical hard drives

or is it a FOIA ?
And what are Chatham House rules? (I know where the Chatham Islands are, but I don't think that has anything to do with this)
And does a "Wayback Machine" look like a blue phone booth with the word "Police" on and a flashing light on top?

Is this something to do with preventing global warming?
I have a HP 17b11+ financial calculator. It can be configured to do RPN and works as a scientific calculator as well.
It's alsp got a clock

Maybe he was out shagging his mistress on the night the attack happened or something.
What about James Bond?
(of course he isn't married, so its not quite the same thing
The heat that I can control is electric. The furnace is controlled by a thermostat that is upstairs.
And we live on the north side of the building
Sure efficiency matters, but only in portable devices. Desktops or other computers connected to the mains don't have a problem.
Hey its winter already, a watt used by your CPU is a watt less that has to be used by your radiant or convective heater.
Due to climate change, the ice sheets on land are flowing down to the sea, so ice flow is going to happen.
