Arizona seems to have an exempt class of vehicles.
As does Indiana: The "exemption" is from sales tax only, which is common in Indiana for business-to-business or commerical transactions. It has nothing to do with federal taxes, road taxes, toll fees, or anything else that has been guessed at in this thread.
You need to get form ST-105 to qualify. See IC 6-2.5-5 and IC 6-2.5-8-8 for more information on sales tax exemptions. (IC codes can be typed in and viewed here: http://www.in.gov/legislative/) - Since this seems to be such a huge issue for most people I'll try and get out to the interstate and take photos.
And if you fill up at the same nozzles as the trucks either they're getting cheated or you're doing something illegal. Most fuel stations have a separate sign for "Auto-Diesel", meaning not Semi's and it's usually 10-15 cents more.
Smaller gas stations don't care and probably have the same price for both.
I wouldn't be surprised if the "retail" version was just a USB jump drive. The MacBook Air doesn't have an optical drive. I removed the Optical drive from my MacBook Pro so I could have 2 hard drives. Spinning media has an expiration date that is quickly approaching.
I *still* hate XP, Vista and Windows 7. The first thing I do on any of those machines is turn off the theming service.
I like Windows to look like 2000. Although I use a Mac most of the time, Microsoft seems to have gone overboard on the form over function. Sure I have pretty GUI widgets, but they're not obnoxious and in my face like the Play School theme of XP or the default Windows 7 theme.
Hands down the best upgrade I ever made to my MacBook Pro. Plus I got a 100GB SSD in the main spot and then a 640GB traditional drive for the OpticalBay slot.
I don't have anything in my house that takes spinnig media. New machines boot from USB & most major installers support iso loopback (as does grub). TV & Movies are easily provided by through Netflix, iTunes, Usenet, Torrents, etc.
Intel does what ever you pay them to make. The have a ton of fab shops. I'm sure if you had enough leverage and handed them a chip spec, you could get them to build PPC RISC processors too.
Apple comes in, says "We're going to want X millon of these A5s, and BTW I'm sure AMD would be more than glad to supply us with these chips AND the chips for our next laptops & desktops, your call."

At the time, the casinos made it easy to stay liquid. This was before the era of the CTR — the cash transaction report — which obligates the casinos to report any transaction greater than $10,000. "In the old days," Tay explains, "you'd win a quarter-million dollars, and they'd give it to you in cash. On New Year's 1996, I walked from the Mirage to the MGM Grand with a paper New Year's hat filled with $180,000." Back in Boston, Lewis and his friends kept the money in cash, declaring the winnings in the "other" category on their IRS forms. "You'd find $100 bills all over my apartment. Dig in my laundry, there would be $100,000 under my socks."
I'm studying for final examinations at a university. Since I took a 4 year break between my masters degree and my bachelor's degree there is a bit of age differential between not only me and my peers, but between me and all of the undergraduates.
Every available study space is occupied in all open buildings on campus. Every other person in the building I'm in was 8 - 10 years old when 11Sept2011 occurred. Where as I was 18. Watching and listening to their reactions of the news as we were all watching streaming coverage was interesting.
The biggest casualty will probably be our Constitution. Whenever a tragedy likes this occurs, the government always announces a get tough on terrorists policy that will have no effect on the psychopaths who do this, but will severely limit our rights.
Yep. I give it a week before Bush announces a "war on terrorism". And we all know what "war on XXX" means, don't we? Bye-bye Bill of Rights.
Yep. Let's put face recognition cameras in all airports and log activity of anyone who enters or leaves an airport. We all know it wouldn't stop the attack, but hey, it will help us correlate who boarded the planes with their respective political associations.
You don't get it. If the Constitution is a casualty, then the terrorists have won. Their aim is to destroy this country. The Constitution IS this country. It's the only thing that makes us different from any other country in the world.
"If Obama preempts the end of The Apprentice to announce they've killed Bin Laden that is going to be the most epic ownage ever." - Comment on Fark.
I'm studying for finals right now (after taking a 4 year break between MS and BS). I was a freshmen in college when 9/11 hit. Every single other person in this was building was 8-10. Most don't even remember the 1st attack on the WTC. My college had 4xT1s providing 6Mb. My cable connection is faster. ALL of my news came from Slashdot and Fark. Both were barely struggling to survive. Yahoo, MSNBC, CNN all went down. Fark had to roll over to new threads every 300 or so posts (300 posts is considered low these days).
There was no reddit, digg, facebook or twitter. SMS was just a very expensive feature that no one used.
Um. Debian has for... a while now. So has Ubuntu. I've not had any problem with either. Just remember to leave a 1MB chunk at the bottom and set the bios_grub flag so grub has somewhere to install to.
How about spending a few engineering dollars and releasing GOOD well documented drivers? I'm a regular reader of the XBMC forums and anyone that wants to use Linux more or less needs to buy Nvidia hardware.
I'm not in the 'anti-closed binary' camp, I just want the best tool for the job. Nvidia provides great CUDA and VDPAU support and it more or less 'just works'. ATI & Intel decided to jump on the Linux bandwagon by opening up everything and so far it seems like the community really hasn't jumped on it. I paid money for your hardware, why not pay an engineer to write software I can actually use?
When I go car shopping and the sales associate shows me 2 cars. One is completely built, works well enough and has good factory support BUT I'm not allowed to modify it. Or the second one which is actually just in a crate. It comes partially assembled... but don't worry. There is complete documentation for every single loose part and instructions on how to put it together. And the 2 cars cost nearly the same.
I'm going to choose the first car. My time IS worth something and I'd rather have something I can't modify but works great as is (NVidia's drivers) to something that really is useless unless I, or someone else, uses the documentation to do something (ATI). Especially when the hardware costs are nearly the same.
While it may get your name on the big stage, isn't a ton of money. Normal internships I worked for my engineering degree started mid May, ended mid August. So lets say May 16 - August 19, which is 95 days. You'll probably only work 5/7ths of those days or ~67 days, 8 hours a day for 536 hours.
Or around $10 an hour. Now, most certainly if you're good you can deliver it in much less time. But at the same time. $10/hour is what I made after my freshmen year in 2002. I think I was making around $19-20/hr by 2004 the year before my senior year.
That was for Mechanical Engineering. I'm not sure if paid internships for CS majors pay that much or if you even have internships like those in engineering. But to me, that just doesn't seem like a ton of money. But like I said, you do get your name forever etched into a project and on Google's website.
Yep. My screen name for 90% of the web was taken by time I got around to registering for/.. Most people just shortened it on IRC to ds: when they needed me, so ds in ASCII it was.
Slashdot Mirror
Google has defense X against A, Y against A, Z against B and C, and T against C.
Judge throws out A, B, X, Y and Z, leaving Oracle only with C, and Google only with T.
I was told there would be no math.

You were saying.
I've seen it in other states as well.
Nope. Watch the signs when you're on the highway.
And if you fill up at the same nozzles as the trucks either they're getting cheated or you're doing something illegal. Most fuel stations have a separate sign for "Auto-Diesel", meaning not Semi's and it's usually 10-15 cents more.
Smaller gas stations don't care and probably have the same price for both.
/ I also drive a diesel vehicle.
It's on every single fucking sign. It's not a one time only sign. It's for Semi's. Open your eyes when you're on the highway next time.
Trucks are already tax exempt. Ever pass a big truck stop and they have the diesel prices listed and under it "Tax Exempt Only".
Meaning the consumer is charged 3 cents. I'm guessing he means the charge per gallon bulk. Before taxes.
You mean like Fink and MacPorts
I wouldn't be surprised if the "retail" version was just a USB jump drive. The MacBook Air doesn't have an optical drive. I removed the Optical drive from my MacBook Pro so I could have 2 hard drives. Spinning media has an expiration date that is quickly approaching.
The reason it took so long is because they were planning on using 'terrorists', but after the recent news they decided against it.
Add "Anonymous" to the list of things that frighten the lay person and get stupid laws passed.
Right after 'terrorists' and 'for the children'.

Only problem is sometimes you don't get a reason for it and some times mods can be rather temperamental.
