  1. And how much of whatever you make do the robots workers we need to "outpace" buy? Usually I hate boycotts of products (or movies\TV shows) but this guy has it coming....

  2. Re:The tax is technically on the buyers... on Senators Vow To Renew Bid For State Taxes On Remote Internet Sales · · Score: 1

    Not 6% of total income. You pay 6% of your "Out of state" purchases, or a flat rate based on your Income level. For us, it's usually cheaper to go the flat rate than add up all our Amazon and other on-line purchases and then figure 6% of it. (MI sales/Use tax is 6%)

  3. Should that be "percent" rather "per cent" on Microsoft Steeply Raising Enterprise Licensing Fees · · Score: 1

    ...based on the usage? (yeah I know, I'm just bored and really to want to be at work this morning...)

  4. The tax is technically on the buyers... on Senators Vow To Renew Bid For State Taxes On Remote Internet Sales · · Score: 1

    Go after them. Here in MI we have a "Use Tax" on our State Income Tax forms for reporting your internet purchases for tax calculation. Usually cheaper to use the "based on your income" option to to add it all up and apply 6%...

  5. Re:Just remove it from Google's DB on German Copyright Bill Would Let Publishers Charge Search Engines For Excerpts · · Score: 1

    Time to remove Germany from the Internet if this is what they want. Just more proof that copyright/patents/etc are an out of control disease that are killing the modern world and strangling our future.

    And people like you are a large part of what's wrong wth America. The founding fathers would start a new American revolution against the current government if they were alive and saw the shit government pulls these days...

  7. To the UK: on In UK, Twitter, Facebook Rants Land Some In Jail · · Score: 1

    Fuck all of you and your inbred leaders with dreams of fascism dancing in your heads.

  8. Re:THANK YOU for having a transcript on Review: World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria (video) · · Score: 1

    Exactly, if anything, the less you play the better for them. If you play 1 hour a month you pay the same as the guy who plays 400 hours a month, and you aren't using network resources to do it...

  9. Re:Good reason for it to be illegal on Pull Lever, Don't Snap Shutter: It May Be Illegal To Post Your Ballot · · Score: 2

    Not like your vote matters, Politicians say what you want to hear to get elected, then do whatever they want anyway :) Might as well make a few bucks on it yourself.

  10. Re:Weathermen on Scientists Who Failed to Warn of Quake Found Guilty of Manslaughter · · Score: 2

    Yawn, the repudlickers promise to help the rich who can already help themselves and you think that's to be lauded?

    I'll go one better, POLITICIANS! They make a promise on the campaign trail and break it, right to prison.

  12. Translation on Microsoft Urges Businesses To Get Off XP · · Score: 0

    "We at Micro$oft need more money! Pay for our over-priced, bloated OS even though the one you have works fine and does what you want/need it to in the manner you like. You don't matter, only your money. To help force you to upgrade, we won;t release any more patches/fixes for XP, that seems to be the only way to make you upgrade."

  13. Re:Working at 14 on Nintendo Investigating Underage Workers At Foxconn · · Score: 2

    Because if they are working factories, they aren't buying and playing Nintendo consoles and games!

  14. Re:School Time Management on Parent Questions Mandatory High School Chemistry · · Score: 1

    So they were useful classes even though you didn't want to take them? Not seeing your point. Yes College needs to pad out the old fee schedule so they force tons of unrelated classes on students too. But in Grade/Jr High/High school, the foundation for learning is still being laid.

  15. Re:need some topic background on Parent Questions Mandatory High School Chemistry · · Score: 1

    Actually, I would think that ignorance of science only aids religion and belief in the unproven. If you don't understand conservation of mass, it's easier to believe a man could feed hundreds or more from just a handful of loaves and fishes...

  16. Re:Eh on Parent Questions Mandatory High School Chemistry · · Score: 2

    So you didn't learn "electronics", but you learned from the Electronics class? Sounds like a good example of how wrong the guy is in the article.

  21. Re:This is what Benjamin Frankin warned us about.. on Shut Up and Play Nice: How the Western World Is Limiting Free Speech · · Score: 1

    You're right, you need your ass kicked shithead Laws are made to protect people, not "might makes right". "Might makes right" is one person making the descisions for everyone. Quit hiding behind "shades of gray" to justify barbarism and brutality. The world isn't black and white, but it's not "kill or be killed" either ( at least among civilized people it isn't)... Quit treating it like the only answer, rather than a last resort.

    No, violence over words is the sign of an ignorant, cro-magnon idiot. It's the "might-makes-right" mentality that betrays the sociopathic lunatic. Punchng someone because you don't like what they say is the asshole-without-a-brain's way of conducting life...

    No, thinking you have the right to commit violence on another person over words you don't like makes you an idiot, and a savage...
