Intelligent questions that would lead to actual understanding of the technologies being discussed by anyone who hasn't already built their own working CPU from popcicle sticks have no place on/.

...except the right to control the taxation of its residents' income; in this case, to protect it from other states, thereby creating an incentive to live (and spend, and vote) in Tennessee).
Tennessee probably collects a higher sales tax than it would if it had a state income tax.
Employment is commerce. The power of taxation implies the power to control. States should have no right to tax something that happens between states, including the purchase of labor. I say NY and TN should duke it out in federal court as to who gets to tax what, because they certainly don't both get to tax (i.e., control) the same portions of a telecommuter's labor compensation.
IM: timing, spelling (a hint at seriousness/formlity level) emoticons, captialization (as well as other text decorations). Not to mention that you get to see exactly how it will be seen by the other person before it's sent. IMing can be far more precise and deliberate than speaking face-to-face.
But I don't want to pay more money. Good from a maximizing-what-we-charge-as-a-business-model is the polar opposite to good from a consumer's perspective.
Every disreputable site out there is going to specifically target the Gecko engine and scour it for vulnerabilities.
AOL users are intentionally kept ignorant about the real Internet (some actually refer to it as AOL), and are therefore highly likely to "just click OK," rewarding this behavior and destroying the reputation of Gecko along with their infected machines.
but if you insist on using Windows, then you should be paying for it and they have every right to inspect your machine to see if you are
Yes, but what if I want to transfer my lisenced copy of Windows to a different machine, and MS, in its' sole discretion, doesn't think that I have the right to do this (which I most certainly do). Do they have the right to discriminate against me in how they (don't) support their product with security updates? Do they have the right to cripple my installation of their software because they don't think I have a proper lisence?
Amen to that. The only reason most states go along with this crap is that most of them are already doing it anyway.
Shouldn't the federal government be taxing less and the states taxing more, rather than the feds controlling the states by sticking their hands into the revenue stream? If the money goes to the states anyway, why does the federal government need to get its hands on it first?
Yeah, I know, I know... some states are too poor so they have to live off the richer states' federal taxes.
Slashdot Mirror
So what are we waiting for?
Maybe they figure since Apple's advertising blitz has "wiped out" their brand, the only customers who won't be confused by their ads are slashdotters.
Talk about opportunist.
Joke's on them though, no one reads the articles.

Step 3: PROFIT!!!
Probably about as long as it took them to switch to the metric system.

WooHoo! Score one for my constitutional right to bear arms!
That must be why he became an arms dealer.

You know what this means, right?

Just as soon as the Chinese can acquire the trade secrets to manufacture it... I give it six months.

Oh, gee this is a hard one. Would that manmade structure be called... a PIER?
Am I the only one here who thinks this usage of the word "sick" is the most unoriginal, contrived linguistic devices since the 1980's?
I think you need some help.

They don't. Ads on Google.com wouldn't change, ads on Google.fr would be purged of evil repressive unfair American-style advertisements.
