Lowering your taxes won't make that house cheaper rather it would likely make the home more expensive. Everyone else gets the same tax break so they have extra cash to buy a house - this extra cash bids up the price of the house.
So in your world then if I go to Jeromes in San Diego during one of their Pay no sales tax cause we jacked the price up to double what it would have been then the state can sue me for not payig the sales tax?
Nope, your state cannot sue you for not paying sales tax, your state can sue you for not paying your state's use tax.
Remember sales tax is not use tax. If you paid sales tax then you are likely exempt from use tax.
If the end buyer is (delivery is taken) in CA then I simply pay the "use tax" on the item. The customer never sees a sales tax entry.
Use tax =/= sales tax.
Use tax is assessed on any item purchased by the end user. There are many exemptions but the primary one is the end user is exempt from paying use tax if the end user has already paid sales tax.
If you are paying the "use tax" for the customer and not showing taxes paid on the receipt then CA may go after the customer for use tax. The customer can't prove sales tax was paid on his/her purchase.
"On principal alone I can simply not bring myslef to buy a 25.00 fucking dollar piece of rubber "skin" that costs pennies to make.
People paying 1/3 to a 1/4 of the original price of their Ipod for a.10 cent rubber case are the proof that the saying "A sucker is born every minute" still holds true."
Sounds like a great opportunity for you to start your own company. Let's see sell 1 million 10 cent rubber cases for a dollar and you got a net profit of $900,000. Get to it.
Aside from the year that you aren't allowed to enroll at that school because of your low grades. Yes, that's speaking from experience. =/
Interesting point except he didn't flunk out of engineering school. He dropped out.
Hedropped that class along with the rest of his engineering course load and signed into liberal arts classes, all on the last day he was eligible to do so.
I was watching CNN last night, and they were displaying names for some of the displaced children from the area affected by Katrina. If they start using some of the names that are evidently common in that part of the U.S. (Shaniqua, Delwayne, etc.), they will never run out. I suspect if I lived on the coast and someone told me that Hurricane Shaniqua was on its way, I'd run like hell.
$100 million is an impressive amount of money but it represents less than 1/3 of 1% of Microsoft's annual revenues.
Strangely, I think Microsoft is being stingy by only spending $100 million in co-operative advertising. Many companies invests 2-5% of its revenues in co-operative advertising. Granted, this isn't a typical co-op situation but investing more than $100 million seems to be appropriate for such a critical product.
Also, RMS got a boob job and Ben Collins had his hair cut. Front page news at 11.
Ah yes, I remember that. Joan Rivers was gushing on E! about Ben's stunning Old Navy jacket and Converse sneakers (customized with a Sharpie). An incredible new look for the Fall season.
The encoding quality is not the end of the story. The resultant audio quality is ultimately limited by the DACs (Digital to Analog Converter) in the device.
This has always been a limiting factor of the iPod line. Competitive players such as Creative's Zen series sound noticeably better than any iPod I've heard because of better DACs. So for Mossberg to say that it, "sounded as good as any other iPod" is not a good thing in my opinion.
Here's a secret for great sound on an iPod. Take a green marker and color the outer edge of the case. This will reduce stray "bits" and create a cleaner, more accurate sound. It crushes the "better" DACs in the Creative players.

Stand up, dust yourself off, reapply eyeglass tape and get back into the f'ing classroom.

Just as soon as Apple releases a left handed iPod.

It's like developing a biological weapon that only affects left handed, redheaded midgets. There are not enough of them to spread the virus.
Wow, I am really gonna get modded down by the left handed, redheaded midget Mac users.
