"Someone in New York should study up on their constitutional law."
You should say the same about the President, who was a supposed constitutional lawyer.
Yet we've got unconstitutional bills flying around left and right, forcing us to BUY INSURANCE when public health and safety is a charge of the government, not the corporation.
And fuck that Interstate Commerce clause. The gov't has ZERO RIGHT to force us to give money to any specific industry. It violates the rights of all other industries and creates an effective monopoly for an industry, not just one single corporation.
You know of any other industries besides insurance being given a blank check via laws designed to force us to pay them? No?
Upselling can be anything from moving a customer towards a more expensive purchase, or simply suggesting add-on items (Need lube to go with that vibrator?)
From Wikipedia: "Upselling (sometimes "up-selling") is a sales technique whereby a seller induces the customer to purchase more expensive items, upgrades, or other add-ons in an attempt to make a more profitable sale."
SS wouldn't investigate my hydro setup (despite it having enough new tech to seriously upset the horticultural market and cause serious nat'l sec issues)
The post was years and YEARS ago. Look back some, roughly 2004?
>In exchange for dropping his case, he agreed to testify in the UK case and pay the MPAA $10k in go-away money.
Yep, very clearly guilty of felony extortion. Arrest all MPAA fucks, or shoot them, either works. Start with Chris Dodd to make the message as clear as possible.
Deal with my company. I pay all taxes, and my prices reflect that. Sales tax, etc, all included in final sales price (exception being the fact I'm UK-registered and thus any online payments get a charge for currency conversion.)
I pay the tax so you don't have to. Sure as hell hurts profits, but I'm not totally for profit, I'm mainly for making sure people don't get ripped off by bad science and then having to pay a tax on top of it.
Why are you living in those SoCal hellholes when Riverside at least carries a surplus budget (one so big that the former Governator had to come in and take half of it to fuck up the rest of CA?)
No, Tesla very likely figured out a way to distort time quantization while screwing around with electricity. At least, that's what has been postulated.
Umm, my fluorescent lamps run DC. Of course, the ballast eats up about as much power as the lamps it drives, but oh well, what can you expect from an old house using old fixtures?
Can't wait for my landlord to allow me to replace these old fixtures with LED ones.

Thomas Paine PUBLISHED Common Sense, Ben Franklin had a HUGE part in writing it.
After all, Franklin was the leader of the Party of Common Sense.
Emergency Ground Fault protection. If you so much as come CLOSE to accidentally bridging the contacts, the entire box trips itself and cuts power.
Imagine a larger and more reliable GFCI outlet - that's basically what these are. Required in UK and AUS.
Even the 300+ year old bed/breakfast I was staying in had them installed.
"How easy is it to sell your house, find a new house, buy the new house, get a new job, and locate good schools for your children?? "
With the exception of children (as I have none) it hasn't been difficult at all.
Finances, learn how to control them.
If you think it's not easy, I'm willing to bet you aren't taking good care of your finances, savings, etc.
And I've got both dual-state and dual-country citizenship (CA/TN, USA/UK)
Who's the moron, here?
Look at your keyboard.
G is rather close to N.
Got = not.
Not very hard to see, is it?

It's still an upsell. It's not novel.

The boxes themselves wouldn't fit in US houses, they're more than 4 inches deep. Approximate size is 8"w x 4"h x 5+"d.
Considering your average wall 2x4 is actually less than 4 inches wide, you see the issue?
So the MPAA is guilty of Extortion, gotcha.

For those modding me down, keep at it. It's obvious we're a few decades ahead of you in temporal theory.
WRONG, excise taxes are listed separately on my ticket- those are $150.
Try again when you travel overseas on a monthly basis.
WRONG. They charge a sales tax (8.5 %)
Yes, that ticket lists it.
Try again when you travel across the globe every other week.
Sales tax is roughly $300 on my ticket, again, from three governments, combined.
"FAA taxes are not sales taxes, nor are they levied by state and local governments."
Have you bothered getting a full run-down of your airline tickets?
Let me bust out my most recent overseas flight ticket to Heathrow from LAX.
Shit, the actual cost is roughly $199, but the added taxes almost brings it to $1,000.
From THREE fucking governments, Los Angeles, California, then UK.

Latimer improved the process for manufacture of the Carbon filament. Tungsten filaments, much later, came via Just and Hanaman.

So glad someone remembers this.
So when do we get to put the RIAA/MPAA to task for decades of patent violations, with plenty of documented history behind it?
Human reaction time tends to make that frequency variation null. Just speaking from personal experience working with AC and DC devices all day long.

"Europeans have them; the only reason we don't is because the cost to retro-fit would be too high."
The retro-fit cost is embarassingly low. What we don't like is the largish boxes sticking out of the wall, even at baseboard height.
"(where's my dang MathML slashdot?"
On 4chan's /sci/. This ain't 4chan. MathML isn't being implemented anytime soon.
I know people hate it, but setting up an auto-running batch script for backup upon plug-in. I've had no issues doing this from Windows to Linux.
You must be new here and not have seen many of my posts.
I think one of them not only used fuck a ton, but also got me a visit from the Secret Service.
