Further, in accordance with Federal law, NASA does not collect state and local fuel taxes as such taxes are not payable for fuel sold at civil airports owned by the United States.
The federal government is immune from state and local taxes, therefore fuel sold on a federally-owned airport meant for use by federal agencies is exempt from state and local taxes. The problem is that Google brought and used some of this below-market-price fuel and thus skipped the state and local fuel taxes.
Unfortunately, this video is not available in Germany.
By the way, some pricks have a problem with us displaying the message "this video is not available in Germany because it may contain music for which GEMA has not granted the respective music rights."
So we're definitely not going display that message.
It's interesting that in the Netherlands, tech companies have been telling the government that there is a shortage of about 30.000 IT workers. However, if you're actually looking for a job and trawl the internet for vacancies, you'll quickly conclude that there are about 500 vacancies tops.
That's because cheap foreign laborers are lazy and only possess 1/60 the productivity of a Dutch person.[/sarcasm]
I think you need to remember that the Earth is also round, not flat, so the panels will be in incredibly cold darkness half the time. Just like the moon.:-)
I think you need to remember that the Earth has an axial tilt of 23.4 degrees, so the geostationary orbit is out of Earth's shadow 24 hours a day (save for dozens of hours of eclipses every year).
You have the right to be wooshed. Anything joke can and will be missed by you. You have the right to consult Google, and to have Google explain the joke to you. If you cannot Google, the joke will be explained to you by a snarky slashdotter.
(1) Evasion of the payment of a fare of the system. For purposes of this section, fare evasion includes entering an enclosed area of a public transit facility beyond posted signs prohibiting entrance without obtaining valid fare, in addition to entering a transit vehicle without valid fare. (2) Misuse of a transfer, pass, ticket, or token with the intent to evade the payment of a fare.
Just curious, have you ever taken public transit? Because every single public transit system that I've used had some variation of "fare is non-transferable" printed on the back of the ticket. Government bureaucrats might not be efficient but they're not stupid, you know.

GitHub, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service, or any other GitHub service, for any reason at any time. Such termination of the Service will result in the deactivation or deletion of your Account or your access to your Account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all Content in your Account. GitHub reserves the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
So which part of "the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time" don't you understand?
"Bad news, Sir. Looks like we need to throw the third candidate out." "Why? He looked the most promising." "I dug around his Internet postings, and I found something disturbing.

Ever watch The Jetsons? George Jetson went to work every day to Spaceley Sprockets. His job? To press the big red start button for the robots.
That's it.
Only the 1% will get floating cities and flying cars.
The rest of us will be wearing nothing but rags in a post-apocalyptic wasteland so saturated with radiation that we'll have mutant saber-toothed cats and dinosaurs as pets.
The paper explicitly address this. More like, that's what the whole paper is about.
Previous research established that the first stars were very short lived, or as phrased in the summary:
And since the first stars had a lifespan of only 3 million years or so, that allows plenty of time for the heavy elements to have formed which are necessary for planet formation and the chemistry of life.
The results of this paper says that the first stars started forming 15 Myr after the Big Bang. Combine these two conjectures and you have the necessary heavy elements at 18 Myr.

RTFS. It's not the sale that's the issue, it's the part that's not being sold that's the issue.

You missed the next part:

Dispose of my stuff in the proscribed manner at the municipal dump.
It's probably not smart to brag about your illegal activities on the Internet :)
Give the man a break. He's just trying to promote open sores food.
Saying "I will kill the president" is illegal, but saying "Remember kids, saying 'I will kill the president' is illegal!" is legal.
Google should just change the message to:

So we're definitely not going display that message.

It's actually closer to 4%.
If you get round trip from A to C, then the return must be from C.
not on all airlines.
Yes on all airlines, because a round trip is defined as A -> B -> A.
What you're talking about is an open-jaw, i.e. A -> B; C -> A.
Antarctica.
Whose bright idea was that anyways, breeding a bunch of linux moscots and shipping them over there?
Each passenger must have a valid ticket.
The same ticket must be used for Entry and Exit.
The moment you exchange your ticket with someone else you are no longer in possession of a valid ticket and thus broke the law, specifically Section 640 (c) (1) and (2) of the California Penal Code:
(1) Evasion of the payment of a fare of the system. For purposes of this section, fare evasion includes entering an enclosed area of a public transit facility beyond posted signs prohibiting entrance without obtaining valid fare, in addition to entering a transit vehicle without valid fare.
(2) Misuse of a transfer, pass, ticket, or token with the intent to evade the payment of a fare.

And the act of them not giving you their address doesn't encroach on your free speech.
No one claimed otherwise. Not sure why you would assume otherwise.
Give me your address, because the First Amendment gives me the right to spray-paint "A fucking moron lives here" on your house.

You people complain when the stories are old, and you people complain when stories arrive from the future.
There's just no way to satify you people, is there?
Seeing as how net immigrant to Mexico fell to zero last year, wouldn't that mean record low levels of measles if the illegal immigrants were really bring them in?
