I believe the collector market is dead for comics simply BECAUSE there was a collector's market. Once Marvel (and others) started releasing Limited Collector Editions it was the beginning of the end.
If you are providing ongoing work, use that as leverage. Inform the client that work will cease until they are current, this is VERY effective if there are open issues that the client wants fixed.
You could also send them an invoice along with a letter stating that the invoice is overdue and will go into collections if not paid within 30 days. You should be able to find a collection agency pretty easily, many of them work by buying the debt from you at ~25 cents on the dollar. Many companies will try to avoid collection as it will impact their D&B rating.
Now, in addition to the expense of paying for a Sales & Use tax for I believe it's 45 states, I have to pay a third party to process all my sales tax forms. Also, because not all states are standardized, you will also have to pay for a service that provides sales tax information for states that calculate sales tax based on location.
The point I'm trying to make is that most states that have a sales tax ALREADY require that residents pay the tax for purchases made out of state. There is no reason why states can't simply start enforcing these laws.
If they were, then she's protected by free speech.
Freedom of Speech has NOTHING to do with this case. Freedom of Speech applies only to the governments ability to restrict speech and doesn't apply to what you can say in an online forum. If what she said is in fact true then libel doesn't apply because truth is an absolute defense against libel and slander.
It's not JUST calculating the tax. Every business would have to have a Sales Tax ID for every state that collects sales tax, those aren't free and some states require you to pay a yearly renewal for said privilege. Also, many states require you to file quarterly, but not calendar quarterly, quarterly based on the state's fiscal year.
The column browser is gone, just gone inside a playlist. I have some very large playlists. I want to be able to use the column browser within that playlist. I now have to go outside the playlist to the library view and use that, hoping I remember correctly the criteria that form the smart playlists.
I just tried this and if you select a playlist, you can still go into View / Column Browser / Show Column Browser
Fair enough. What then would a layman call "introduction of testimony from experience(s) outside of the trial to the jury, to directly affect the outcome of the jury's decision" and does that term change if the person responsible for this is the jury foreman?
There is no definition for this because this type of 'evidence' does not exist. Evidence must be presented in court and the introduction of said evidence must follow rules regarding its admission.
At the very least he ignored the judge's orders and should be held in contempt.
I hope you're being sarcastic. How are you supposed to play an online game without having an account? That would be like wanting to play Mafia Wars on Facebook without having to log into Facebook. I'm not a big fan of Blizzard but this lawsuit is total bullshit.
The first is, if copyright doesn't apply in the US then the copyright holder has no right to prohibit resale.
If copyright DOES apply in the US and the product was legally obtained (regardless of location) then the original copyright holder should again have NO right to prohibit resale, applying the first sale doctrine.
Where this gets interesting is, will this ruling apply to ANYTHING manufactured overseas that has any type of copyright, such as computing devices and automobiles? Imagine not being able to sell your 4-5 year old car to buy a newer model. How will this ruling apply to things such as the secondary market for used CDs (many of which are imported)?
I'm very curious as to how this is going to play out.
In the tech industry? I would be surprised if more than a small percentage actually became citizens. Based on my experience, every H-1B employee I've ever worked with (~ 25) left the country after their visa expired.
Instead of imposing limits on serving sizes, why don't they do the RIGHT thing and ban the use of HFCS in soft drinks. Most soft drinks in Canada still use sugar instead of HFCS, I can taste the difference. I don't even buy soda with HFCS when I'm in the states now because I don't like the taste.
You might want to NOT focus on the 'Version Control' aspect and focus more on 'Source Control'. Centralized repository for all source code, easier to back up, ability to track changes to documents. Mention version control only as a type of 'undo' feature that is always available.
This is only because Apple built the mechanism to ALLOW the providers the ability to disable this feature. If Apple didn't have an option to disable this feature then the providers would have no way to charge extra for it. Of course people are going to say that if Apple did NOT provide this feature then providers wouldn't carry the new iPhone. That's total bullshit, no carrier that currently carries the iPhone is going to suddenly stop selling them, they're making way too much money off the hardware.
If AT&T was so concerned about video over IP then it would be doing the exact same thing with Skype.
If you take a 5 minute break every 10 minutes, you still have to be paid for it, but you would most likely lose your job in a day or two.
If your state mandates that an employee must have a 15 minute break for every 4 hours worked that means you have to have one break that lasts at least 15 minutes. If you take 2, 5 minute bathroom breaks in that 4 hours, that 10 minutes doesn't come out of your 15 minute break.
My mother, now aged 85, learned to type using a printed picture of a keyboard, and exercises very similar to "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing". Its true there is no record of what keys you actually press, etc, but she could type a lot faster than I ever could, and is using an IPad as I type this.
My point is: stop being obsessed with technology: anyone in the third world can have a photocopy of a picture of a keyboad, and probably has the motivation to try and learn with it. Once a week, use a real machine to test their progress if you have to. (Yes I have visited third world countries).
That won't work. I speak from personal experience (borned & raised in a third world country). I learned typing with a mechanical typewriter. You have to have a physical feedback from the type writer to develop the necessary muscle memory.
You also need paper to see that you are typing, and to see if you are doing it right or wrong. And when you commit errors, you need to see how often you made them and where on the keyboard layout. Finally you develop the speed to type with a high degree of correctness.
You. Will. Never. Ever. Get. That. With. A. Picture. Of. A. Keyboard.
You need an actual keyboard, mechanical or otherwise.
I don't agree, I learned to type over 35 years ago on a keyboard diagram, then a manual typewriter and then moved to an IBM Selectric in high school. Modern computer keyboards require almost no real finger strength and virtual keyboards require NO finger strength. Typing is learned by rote exercise, my mother didn't want me breaking her typewriter so she had me practice on the diagram until I knew where most of the letters where.
The OSHA rules for bathroom breaks are that the employer cannot deny reasonable access to the bathroom and can't REFUSE an employee's ability to take a bathroom break unless the employees absence would put other people on jeopardy (such as requiring a certain number of people to run a piece of machinery, which would require somebody else to fill in for the employee while on bathroom break).
There are no laws that prohibit or restrict the employer from tracking bathroom breaks but the employee must be paid for all breaks less than 20 minutes. Also, from what I've read, there is nothing to prevent an employer from letting an employee go for excessive time away from their work area.
As far as 'when does time tracking go too far?' An employer should definitely be able to track when employees are NOT actually working, I don't see a problem here unless the employer is restricting bathroom usage.
It's not so much about assets as it is about income. If your new business is making money and you have expenses you're much better off forming a corporation right from the start. Based on what my accountant (both past and present) have told me as well as my tax attorney, it's much easier to claim expenses when you have a valid legal entity for your company. Also, if something were to happen to your business, you want to have the liability protection that a corporation offers (you're still responsible for loans or lines of credit personally guaranteed by you). While there are many similarities between an LLC and say, an S-Corp, when the shit hits the fan, some types of LLCs can be classified as either partnerships or sole-proprietors and the owners can be held fiscally responsible.

Or they could just start enforcing the USE part of the Sales & Use Tax that most states already have.

I'm NOT surprised one bit. That's why I'd like to see the US do something about imposing bans or restrictions on HFCS.

This is brilliant, mind if I pass it around?
Um, this is AT&T using deep packet inspection to deny certain content. There is no great conspiracy here between Apple and AT&T
Not for this feature they don't, there is an option to enable FaceTime over cellular, the provider config is able to set this flag.
This is only because Apple built the mechanism to ALLOW the providers the ability to disable this feature.

Right, they have to make it reasonably accessible, but they can still dock you for time if you are over your allowed break minutes.
Nope, all employees must be paid for breaks that are under 20 minutes. Well, at least in the US.
The OSHA rules for bathroom breaks are that the employer cannot deny reasonable access to the bathroom and can't REFUSE an employee's ability to take a bathroom break unless the employees absence would put other people on jeopardy (such as requiring a certain number of people to run a piece of machinery, which would require somebody else to fill in for the employee while on bathroom break).
