Nevada should go to this system and advertise that visitors to the state can buy gas tax-free. The gaming industry will gain more than the state will lose in gas tax.
You will never win this argument. The amendment is both vague enough (well regulated) and specific enough (the right...shall not be infringed) to support both sides. The problem for gun control arguments is that that a Supreme Court dominated by Originalists could reasonably take the position that no gun law anywhere in the USA is Constitutional.
They could check the odometer reading when you get your annual inspection.
Or when you get reregister your car. If the tax is reasonably small, people won't try to avoid it.
In Oregon, the gas tax is 30 cents per gallon. If you drive 12,000 miles per year and get 25 miles to the gallon then you pay over that year about $150 in gas tax. Would people pay $100-200 for the annual inspection to cover the inspection and the road usage tax?
Rather than paying $300,000, you and your wife would have had to come to terms that her time on Earth was now limited because you simply were not rich enough. Happens every day on this planet.
I got excited when I read the title, as suppression of the Casimir effect implies some way to manipulate virtual particles and would be required some breakthrough in our understanding of profound processes. But the article means that they discovered a way to minimize the force the effect applies, not suppress the force itself.
For what my $.02. is worth, one of the reasons I like Boston, as opposed to, say New York or LA, is that it's a big city that seems like a small(ish) town.
I like Boston because it's a small city that seems like a big town.

How many times is this story going to show up? When I was tutoring someone for AP statistics, I learned a lot of interesting shit. One thing I remember was that if you take some ordinary object and measure 20 properties of the object, there is a high probability that one of the properties will be far from the mean. So if you take some famous person's brain and measure it in enough ways, you will find a property which is far from normal. Then you say 'aha!' and write a story about how such and such's ability was due to this nonnormal brain property.
It is written into law which parts of government stay open and which close.
It also turns out to be a Federal crime to undertake unfunded actions during the shutdown. These would put the employee in violation of the Antidefiniency Act of 1870: http://www.cnbc.com/id/101078243?__source=xfinity|mod&par=xfinity

There is an old manufacturing truism that, contrary to what CEOs like to stand up and say before investors, your product development people should never listen to the customers. Here's what happens:
Manufacturer: What do you need?
Customer: We need X.
(Manufacturer goes away for six month, making X.)
Manufacturer: Here's your X.
Customer: Yeah. We needed that six months ago. Now we need Y.
Apple's genius was imagining products many tech people said would be failures but the marketplace snapped up. Apple was able make Y before the customers even knew they were going to need it.

I know of a group of people on Whidbey Island who have a monthly 'open carry' breakfast, which always freaks out the new waitress at Dennys.
Great. How long before some sociopath tosses a lit string of firecrackers in the door?
It's IN the fucking amendment.

Welcom to the welfare state. You voted for it.
The rest of the civilized world makes this shit work. You don't think America can do it better? Why do you hate America?

Since robots don't have emotions, they would not have committed those massacres.
You mean since they don't have emotions, they won't object to committing massacres.

4. The demographics of Japan are many old people and few young people and they don't want to let any dirty Koreans in to do elder care.
Google will spy on the people.
Watson will manage their placement with FEMA.
Google will spy on the people for the government.
Watson will become the government.

AC is correct, and everyone in this debate should know about the law he/she is referencing before rendering an opinion:

And then you run into the problem of... if we're all broke on our asses, who is going to buy your products?
When they develop robotic consumers, we are screwed.
