  1. Re:Good luck on EU About To Vote On Copyright Extension · · Score: 1

    The music is, or a particular recent performance of it?

    Yeah... similarly with dark fibre.

    I was just thinking what a 911 system that failed safe might entail. Certainly a train comms system should, but I have this vision of 911 services being simultaneously being sent to every location.

  6. Re:They obviously didn't poll any state government on Amazon Named the "Most Reputable Company" · · Score: 1

    It's Amazon's customers debt, I think. The state governments are just used to retailers collecting it from their customers for them. (back in the days when Australia had sales tax, manufacturers would claim exemption[1] from sales tax when buying from retailers, which seems to indicate it isn't something the retailer owes, but something the purchaser does. So the redirect you suggest could collect the sales tax from the end customer. A lot more bureaucracy for governments, which is why they try to force Amazon to be their collector.


    [1] because they'd charge sales tax on their 'downstream' products.

    This is becoming analogous to the Monty Python coconut script.

    for less than the 3 x the cost of the $1 cheeseburger, I was going to say

  9. Re:Where's my reward? on Arizona Governor Proposes Flab Tax · · Score: 1

    Well, even at 3 x $1[1], you'd still make a tuna sandwich. The price I marked for a can of tuna was $1, but I figure you'd get 2 sandwiches out of it. I could make a ham mustard and pineapple sandwich for
    [1] I've never seen cheeseburgers for $1. $2, if they're on special offer. (then again, it seems that I can make 'home made' sandwiches cheaper here (Australia))

    was the 'anonymous complainant' Berlusconi, and if so, perhaps google were just being truthful?

    I don't know if you've noticed, but obesity is often a symptom of poverty. You're not going to get any more taxes out of someone who's already on welfare, and you haven't fixed the problem that a home-made sandwich costs 3 times as much as a McDonalds cheeseburger.

    What in the hell are you putting in your sandwiches, that makes them anywhere near the cost of a cheeseburger, let alone 3 x the cost?

    Ok, let's make a tuna sandwich.
    can of tuna $1 /2 = 50c
    loaf of bread 3.29 / 20 * 2 = 32c
    butter $5 /20 25c


    $1.12 for a boring sandwich. add some extras and you'd get it to $2. (eg: mayonnaise, lettuce)
    And a cheeseburger is $2. x 3 would be 6. For that I could make you a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich, and have change.

    What, they aren't *already* putting taxes on cigarettes and alcohol that act as a disincentive for consumption, and a way of paying for the medical cost to society of treating this?
