It's not a false report if you use enough soft language. "I *think* I heard something about something and they may have a thing in their car now!"
Just do what politicians do - use performatives. "I want to report..." or "I think it's important for you to know about it if...", etc. Anything after the phrase is modified by your performative, thus true in that space. "I didn't say he actually did it, just that I wanted to report it..."
That's great but it's not based on what you think, it's based on your income.
It's really not. This is from the US Department of Commerce report titled "Middle Class in America".
Income levels alone do not define the middle class. Many very high and very low income persons report themselves as middle class. Social scientists have explained this by defining “middle class” as a combination of values, expectations, and aspirations, as well as income levels. Middle class families and those aspiring to be part of the middle class want economic stability, a home and a secure retirement. They want to protect their children’s health and send them to college. They also want to own cars and take family vacations. However, aspirations alone are not enough; middle class families know that to achieve these goals they must work hard and save.
Wrong. It's only free if you want to be locked into Microsoft's cloud service. Did you honestly think anything from Microsoft would ever actually be "free" (speech or beer)?
You do NOT need a Microsoft account to use OneNote. You can store your notes locally, or on a fileshare, or anything that ES File Manager can get to.
Nuclear is a fairly startling breaktrough, although it uses steam for power generation. And solar. Get fusion working, and it will be a big change (but again, it will use steam).
There are ways to directly generate electricity from fusion reactions. Lawrence Livermore Laboratories actually demonstrated it in the lab and came out with greater than 85% efficiency from this system (heat-based systems max out near 50%). Before I'm criticized for even mentioning it, yes, it's more complicated and difficult that just hooking up a turbine. It's still feasible, and should not be dismissed out-of-hand as an area of research in fusion power generation. In the long run, it would be much cheaper.
The lightning adapter is Apple - not sure if any knockoffs exist at this point. But, apparently, it depends on the Alpine deck you have, and the cable used to connect to that. I guess it's complicated.
The 30-pin connector was in use for about a decade, and you can get an adapter to use Lighting connector devices with 30-pin connector accessories. This is a non-issue.
The adapter, when used with the car head units designed for 5 - 6 gen iPods, does not supply power, and that IS a MAJOR issue!
The solution is NOT a $30 adapter, it's a $250 iPod classic!!
Uh, Apple does make an adapter for it... I know it's $30, but it's at least a solution. (Our car has a USB port, so it's just a matter of changing the cable for us.)
Except that unlike the old cable, with the adapter it doesn't provide a charge, only the connection. So it drains the battery as it's used, then I have to charge it by connecting it to the car charger. There doesn't seem to be a way to connect it to the stereo and charger at the same time, at least with the adapter.
Really renders the whole thing useless. The cheapest fix is to return this iPod, and buy an iPod classic for about $250. Way more capacity than I need, and more money than I wanted to spend, but it does have the 30-pin connector like my old (!!) 5th gen, so hopefully it would work the same...
Car stereo salesmen and installers around the country are hoping Apple's CarPlay in-car infotainment system will have a big presence in the aftermarket car stereo industry.
Well, it could have, but after investing in a head unit with the expensive licensed connector for my iPod, then finding when my out-of-warranty iPod died that my new one would not work with the very expensive head unit any more because they changed the connector... well.
As the saying goes: "Screw me once, shame on me, screw me twice, Fuck you Apple - NEVER AGAIN!!"
Or is this one of those cases where some judges have already decided that their preferences and policies are more important than what the Constitution says?
Oh, judges decided long ago that due process does not mean "having your day in court." A bureaucracy simply has to publish their administrative procedure, which includes some provision where they are supposed to read any letter sent in by the defendant, and the administrative procedure is automatically considered to be all the "due process" required.
BTW, can you be jailed for failing to pay the IRS? Makes me wonder how 'civil' that infraction is then...
Actually, no you can't. They can seize all of your bank accounts and assets (including your home, if you owe more than $5,000), but they cannot jail you.
But, they can jail you for tax evasion and tax fraud. Those are both felonies.
From Title 26:
Willful failure to file a tax return is a misdemeanor pursuant to IRC 7203. In cases where an overt act of evasion occurred, willful failure to file may be elevated to a felony under IRC 7201, Tax Evasion.
If failure to file a return is fraudulent, a civil penalty known as the "fraudulent failure to file (FFTF) penalty" may apply under IRC 6651(f). This penalty may apply to all returns due after 12/31/1989 (determined without regard to extensions).
The civil fraud penalty may be applied to all returns required to be filed on or before 12/31/1989.
It does not really make any more difference whether a candidate is a Democrat or Republican. What is really important in the next election is to vote against whoever is in office currently and vote for their opponent most likely to throw them out.
Hear, hear! This is always my default position - vote for the non-incumbent. There are over a dozen senators and more congressmen that have held office for at least 30 years! Way past time for a clean up.
The only matter that was stopping the IRS from going after long-forgotten debts was its policy.
Obviously not true, or they would not have needed legislation to start doing it.
The fact that inheritors are responsible for the civil damages, including ones from future lawsuits, is nothing new.
It certainly is in the United States. You cannot go after an heir for their ancestors debts. Ever. You can sue based on property owner liability issues, based on ownership at the time, but that still has nothing to do with "inheritors" or relatives, just the current property owner.
I believe the ultimate assertion from Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land" was "You are God". And not just as an idea from a new perspective, but as a studied examination of the underlying spiritual lessons from all human religions.
So, is this just another update to shuffle a couple of buttons and checkboxes around or is there something else in this update?
Good luck finding the change log from Microsoft.
I'm assuming they've updated all the "SkyDrive" stuff to "OneDrive", since they lost the trademark lawsuit on that one.
That happened in some previous update I think. When I go to my user folder there's a folder named "OneDrive". Open it up and the breadcrumb navication calls it OneDrive. Yet when I check the actual path it's still actually "c:\users\Linuxisgarbage\SkyDrive" folder.
Nope. If you're seeing anything on the Windows GUI called "OneDrive", then you must have the update released today. I'm still waiting for the update to finish installing, but it definitely has always been called "SkyDrive" except on the web site.
Thankfully I don't live in the Peoples' Republic of San Fransisco. I get the feeling that there is almost no normal day-to-day activity that a person can engage in there without "likely breaking" some rule or ordinance or bureaucratic policy that the busybodies in government have decided to impose.
So, you would have no problem if the law said that if you were caught breaking your legally mandated, below market value lease by subletting at market value, you would be required to retroactively pay market value rent back to the day you started subletting and continuing until you vacate the premises, yes?
No, Mr. Hannity, I would have no problem if the law were limited to enforcing contracts, like it is supposed to do, instead of trying to control every aspect of everyone's lives to the point that no one can make a move without banging on the City Council's doors demanding recognition of their group's desires.
I have an apartment. I am legally prevented from charging "market value" for my property due to rent control laws, especially for long term residents.
Self-entitlement is strong in this one.
You completely missed my point. Your sense of self-entitlement is at least as great as mine. SF's government is interfering in both party's ability to engage in the free market. Note they're hinting they'll go ahead and allow the Airbnb rentals to happen as long as they can get their 14% tax out of the renter. You won't see any of that revenue.
Your slum-lord profit entitlement outrage is clearly misplaced.

But I have measured that I get AT LEAST 10% less millage in my 2013 Mazda on gasoline diluted with alcohol than I do with pure gasoline.
So where did you get the "pure gasoline"?
You'll have to use your web browser, then, when in Gentoo: OneNote Web App

That does sound like something to get upset about.
Oh, no, it's nothing to worry about. They only use that against Drug Kingpins!

It's from InfoWars, so you could certainly say it's from a right wing nut job, but it's still a true story.
