You bought a GOOGLE product because of MICROSOFT's history of abandoning projects?? Are you from an alternate, bizarro universe, by any chance? In this plane of existence, MS is known for supporting it's products for very long times, and Google is known for dumping projects with alarming frequency and rapidity.
FM radio functionality is built right into Windows Phones. It's pretty great, so long as you use wired headphones. The phones use the headphones as antenna, so it doesn't work with Bluetooth, unfortunately.
You can't sue somebody who gave you something for free. There's no "consideration". The people suing lost nothing, because they spent nothing for the email service, so they have no grounds to sue for anything. I'm not a lawyer, but basic Law 101 teaches this.
That being said, paid, un-scanned email costs a few bucks a month.
When Zuckerberg is running the show and agrees with your lefty political positions, all of the sudden Corporations have rights and should be allowed to run the elections as long as they support the "correct" positions.
You saying this doesn't make it true. I don't know of anybody suggesting that corporations should have "rights" or should "run the elections" other than the super wealthy and the non-wealthy dullards who support them.
What is "it"? "Danger"? Danger comes from monolithic intolerance coming from youth movements? Really? Do you have any historical examples to back this up?
You're right. Utilities are important to everybody. But same-day delivery of overpriced commodity consumer items from a money-losing fake Internet company isn't critical to anybody at all.
You're right. That's why Bernie Sanders is doing so well. He's one of the very few politicians that want to fix the system. We have legalized bribery in this country and the big companies use it to their advantage.
A. That "economic activity" is brand new. As in past few years. Stores have existed for centuries.
B. It's a cost of doing business. A small one. A few hundred bucks a year. Much smaller cost of doing business than many other things.
C. Is there some soft of common good in having millions of people selling millions of little things to other people? Is there a really good reaosn as to why people should be able to sell anything they want, wheverever they want, with no overhead?
D. Amazon takes 30%. Collecting sales tax is a *tiny* expense.
Spoken like somebody who has never run a business....
NO taxes are simple. Payroll taxes are complicated. Local sales taxes are complicated. Corporate and personal taxes are INSANELY complicated. That doesn't mean it's a good idea to just not pay them. That means that as a business, you simply pay a service a small fee for taking care of all of this for you. Intuit does it for payroll stuff now, and that works just fine.
Jeez, you'd need some soft of device that could keep track of lots of numbers.... maybe even THOUSANDS of numbers, and COMPUTE quickly. I guess you're right. That sounds impossible.
It's no more of a burden then any other kind of taxes. Most small employers pay companies to help them calculate the correct payroll taxes taken out of everybody's paychecks, for example. It's a trivial service. This would also be trivial.
Sure, it's a small burden, but why shouldn't there be ANY kind of burden to a company selling things in all 50 states?
Calculating shipping costs is trivial today because it is outsourced to shipping calculators of companies specializing in shipping. FedEx, UPS, even USPS provide shipping calculators in the USA and it's not hard using that data.
So, it IS trivial, is what you're saying. Right. We all agree that collecting sales tax is trivial.
- so your solution is only to allow huge multinationals to do business online, because everybody else will be priced out of it. Wouldn't that be great for the consumers...
You just said it was trivial. How is collecting sales tax going to "price out" everybody else?
- yeah, which is why there shouldn't be such things as 'public services'.
- aah, that's only 100% wrong. The Internet today can replace public schools, and public schools shouldn't exist in the first place.
Oh, kid, you have a lot to learn. You should start off by trying not to be a selfish asshole, and realize that we all live in a society together, and that we all need to help each other.
Luckily, popularity and quality are rarely correlated in society-at-large. If popular=good, then the best food in the world is McDonald's, and the best place to shop is Wal-Mart.

Just use DVD Shrink. Still works fine.
This week's newest messenging service for people without unlimited texting plans. Aren't there about a thousand (at least) of these by now?

And it starts *exactly like this* every time.

What is Windows Live Mail? Is it an email client? Did it come bundled with an OS? I've never heard of it before, and I work in a 100% MS shop.
You're right. Utilities are important to everybody. But same-day delivery of overpriced commodity consumer items from a money-losing fake Internet company isn't critical to anybody at all.
Blah, blah, blah. We use Windows because it's the best product out there for the job we need to do. Grow up.
You're right. That's why Bernie Sanders is doing so well. He's one of the very few politicians that want to fix the system. We have legalized bribery in this country and the big companies use it to their advantage.
Such software is inherently out-of-date, and way too expensive for anyone doing less than $1MM of business...
Bullshit. It's a Quickbooks plug in:

That's a cost of business. I don't think it's unreasonable at all.

From Intuit's web site: Estimated annual cost: $500.

She could use a software service that does that for her. Businesses don't generally calculate complicated taxes themselves.
Why do I believe that online merchants shouldn't collect use tax for buyers of different locales? Taxes are complicated.
I assume you don't pay any personal income taxes then, right?
This is one of those very rare occasions where I would agree with my Libertarian friends that taxation is theft.
Then get the fuck off the Internet, because that's subsidized by taxes. Thanks!

Amazon is selling dollar bills for 95 cents. Big deal. Anybody can do that. It's quite frankly, moronic, to compare them to Microsoft.
