    A lot of bitcoin retards seem to think that the IRS needs new tax laws to deal with bitcoins. Because somehow the existing tax laws (capital gains and barter) don't cover it.

  2. Just avoid shitty GitHub projects. on Ask Slashdot: What To Do About the Sorry State of FOSS Documentation? · · Score: 1

    Sorry folks, we accidentally used dice.com to hire some new sourceforge developer advocates. The official slashdice HR guidelines prevent us from hiring people on dice.com (we don't eat our own dogshit) but the HRtard responsible, umm, well, was hired from dice.com. Rest assured that we're firing all of them and sourceforge will continue to serve the finest adware installers for stable open source projects t(meaning they haven't been updated since the 90s.)

    There are people who can help, but they're not on slashdot. Try usenet (comp.sys.palmtaops, perhaps) or IRC (#hairypalms). A lot of niche groups have a presence but not on the web and definitely not on slashdot.

    You've heard of the Whiskey rebellion, right?

    Farmers living west of the Appalachian Mountains distilled their excess grain into whiskey, which was easier and more profitable to transport over the mountains than the more cumbersome grain. A whiskey tax would make western farmers less competitive with eastern grain producers.[13] Additionally, cash was always in short supply on the frontier, so whiskey often served as a medium of exchange. For poorer people who were paid in whiskey, the excise was essentially an income tax that wealthier easterners did not pay.[14]

    Corn grows just fine in the northeast, BTW. Irish/Scottish immigrants (the kind of people who make whiskey) were familiar with rye and barley. Rye, being more or less a weed, grew better so they made rye whiskey. Kentucky settlers were offered 400 acres if they built a house and planted corn so they also ended up with corn whiskey.

    They snail mail "renewal bills" for your domains (registered elsewhere). I hope most of slashdot would recognize it for what it is. But I'm sure a lot of sheeple accidentally transferred.

  22. For us dummies.... on White House Punts On Petition To Allow Tesla Direct Sales · · Score: 1

    Once upon a time (think 1920s/1930s) car manufacturers did abuse the third party dealers ("It would be a real shame if we opened a car store right next to yours and put you out of business") so states enacted laws to prevent that. There were also similar problems with alcohol which is why alcohol distribution is so fucked up, too. The laws are "solving" problems that don't apply to Tesla or small microbrewers.
