Further, if the state investigates the matter with an individual taxpayer it will never recoup in fines/taxes what it will cost to do the investigation.
Ah, you are so limited in your thinking. All they have to do is throw a few people who declared nothing in jail for tax evasion (all you have to do for that is prove a single out-of-state transaction for which use tax is due) and then "suggest" that those who don't keep detailed receipts can elect to pay use tax on, say, $1000 worth of purchases for every $40k in income.
Probably not. The shocking part about the Zimbardo experiment was not that guards are cruel; the shocking part is that there were no ground rules insisting that the "guards" be cruel. They could have chosen to play cards with the "prisoners" - given that they were mostly (all?) Stanford undergrads, they very likely knew some of them. Once you go to a real prison, the prisoners are just more scumbags you have to keep in line.
Do you have a point, or are you just ranting? The difference between a cheap lighter and a Bic is something like fifty cents. Even a paranoid schizophrenic living under a bridge can afford that difference if durability is really a concern.
As for the "holy mantra of The Market", I have to ask: don't you think a Snickers bar is delicious? Is it some kind of religious nuttery to suggest that people enjoy eating candy, and thus will pay for it?
CFLs use less energy to produce light than incandescents do - but their lifespan, in my experience, is not nearly as long as promised. Over the whole life cycle, the energy difference may be less than you think.
Incidentally, incandescent bulbs often are used as small heaters because it's very easy to run the infrastructure to one of them. Before I found a small heater that has a thermostat setting for 40 F, I used one to keep my tropical plants (stored in a small shed in the back yard) from freezing in the winter.
Cairo isn't really a low-humidity area. It's more comparable to the southeastern US in terms of temperature and humidity (which makes sense; they're at essentially the same latitude). Fans and stuff are nice, but the only way to deal with the heat in these areas is to stay hydrated and toughen up.
Depends on the relative humidity. At very low humidity, it's cooling; at very high humidity, it's not. Ballpark, you can cool down to a few degrees above the wet bulb temperature.
Not quite. The relative humidity ranges from 37 to 80% over the course of the day. It's easy to think of Cairo as being in the desert, but there's a giant river running right through it that provides quite a bit of humidity. A similar situation happens in Qatar and Dubai, although there the humidity comes from the Gulf.
This is really about "how do you cool a giant all-stone no-shade plaza".
That's why I said "... in any reasonable fashion". For anyone who's curious, look here at the MDH-10 and MDM-111, both of which also required special MD-DATA discs and couldn't record audio.
There is a difference between movement within your own country and being permitted to enter a foreign one, if your purpose is to stir things up. It's not as though they were blacklisted for forming a group of people on Facebook that were going to all meet at a beach party in Eilat.
Are you a lawyer? Genuinely curious, because I always thought that adultery very much affected alimony, though not child support or community property. However, I do live in a state in which "alienation of affection" is a civil tort for which monetary damages can be given (though it is rare), so my perspective may be skewed.
Coronary grafts would be especially bad for this, as glass (which is used for the scaffold) has properties that render it highly unsuitable for use as an arterial graft. Arteries are muscular vessels and depend on the elasticity this grants to provide smooth delivery of blood rather than jackhammering it into distal vessels. You'll need a non-rejected elastic substrate that can handle systemic arterial pressures for ten years just to match the statistical performance of vein grafts.
The body doesn't reject titanium, either. I'm not saying this isn't a great thing - it is. But this is grown on a glass scaffolding, which could still serve as a nidus for infection, and it doesn't get us closer to real artificial organs.
It's not really a cloned organ. It's a stem-cell-coated scaffolding of one of the body's least metabolically active tissues. It's a lot closer to a rod in your leg than to a functioning heart.
Unless you're a hardcore maker type who will derive pleasure from building this, just go buy a Stoker, BBQ Guru, or similar product. It's not cheap, but if you can afford a BGE, you can afford them. Total fire control, and a few guys I know who have them will completely entrust them with a brisket overnight.
Cloverleafs (and SPUIs) prevent idiotic experiences like waiting through three light cycles to go from northbound 610 to westbound Westheimer (with traffic backed up all the way onto 59!). I've encountered a similar situation a couple of times in Dallas, but really haven't spent enough time there to notice the trouble spots.
Come to Mississippi. Our roads are in awful shape, but the freeways were really well designed.

Explain, then, junk food.
It's inexpensive and it tastes delicious. You think that's not valuable to people?
those crappy off-brand cigarette lighters that break before they use all their fuel
Quite a lot of cigarette lighters are lost before they are used up. Disposable ballpoint pens are similar.

And yet we still somehow end up in the same city when the plane lands. Imagine that.
Cargo's there, too - that's what he meant about being baggage.
BTW, what "public transit" is there between London and Amsterdam? If all you mean is "common carrier", well, that's what an airline is.
No, he has traveled 10 million miles in the air. He's got 50 million frequent flyer miles. RTFA (yes, I kid).
10 million *air* miles. He's got 50M frequent flyer miles.
In first class, the other half of that drink is booze.

It easily ran for a month on a single AA battery, though. Credit where credit is due.

You couldn't do data via MiniDisc in any reasonable fashion, but you could certainly do digital audio.

I was there for STS-133 too. What a fantastic day that was - clear blue skies and Discovery burning beautifully across them.
If you possibly can, GO. I saw one launch - STS-133. I got the VIP site, but even if you watch it from Titusville it's nothing you'll ever forget.
And to those of you at the Cape: good luck.
