It would be more reasonable for the seller's state to collect the tax. Before I even got to the comments I was thinking how idiotic it is to do this on the buyer's side due to the complications for any less-than-enormous business.
I bought a pair of used Logitech G9 mice about 3 years ago. I carried one with my laptop, and the other on my desktop. The laptop one failed about a year ago from the cord being tugged too much, while the desktop one is still going strong. I'm on the computer at least 8 hours per day.
I'd even say they're made of high tech. They're interconnected via a IT resource management system, which itself is linked with a Facebook-wide employee management system.
I have to wonder what share of that market Amazon actually has, and how many of those people were just browsing rather than searching specifically for it and buying.
Only buying used games, in many cases, means supporting Gamestop. In the future, there's a good chance that it'll mean paying the original publisher on top of that. Bleh.
Yeah, but considering it's New Jersey, with a large portion of the population (along with the other nearby states), and the nearby states have the same 65mph maximum infliction, 70 or 75mph isn't quite the typical US freeway as most people know it. There's probably more miles of 70 and 75mph than in this area across the US, but when a huge portion of the population doesn't know anything other than 65mph, it's hard to call 70 to 75 typical.
Proliferation on the high end trickles down to the low end. If there weren't so much money is making the next big drug, it wouldn't be genericized in a few years. If we didn't build a small number of expensive robot surgery facilities today, we wouldn't be able to have them in every hospital at a cheaper cost and higher quality tomorrow.
Having expensive health care options, and using them, is a double-edged sword - but the US are the ones providing for advancement in medical technology of all sorts, not the countries cutting out anything remotely expensive as an option entirely.
I've had pretty much the same experience, where anything that isn't Java or MySQL has landed me on SO or another site instead of the official documentation.
I think it's a stretch to call aquifers seriously stable over geologic time anyway, but consider the effect carbon dioxide has on the pH of water. That alone could cause a significant erosion of limestone. Keeping corals in a tank with even a slightly higher than average carbon dioxide concentration is hard because of the unpredictability of the pH, even with proper dosing of additives to keep it stable.
You clearly haven't pulled hard enough. Every ebrake I've used is not only enough to stop a car at a creep roll, but it's extremely jerky - one click will seem like nothing, and the next will be a full on jerk to an instant stop.
You have 2 good examples, but I'd like to point out that the Merkur wasn't an engineering failure, it was a marketing failure. That same car, if it were badged as a Ford, would have sold massively.
A hybrid is only good in stop-and-goo traffic because you're not burning gas most of the time. You're unlikely to discharge the battery completely for short periods, and you always have the ICE to fall back on. The battery for a hybrid is likely near or at a full charge before you ever get into the city.
Next time, try driving in Manhattan for a prolonged period of time - say, an hour and a half. Your mileage is going to be significantly worse than cruising on the open road, since your gas tank is going to have to be the main source of power instead of the conveniently-already-charged batteries. I drove a Honda CR-Z (hybrid) up until about 2 weeks ago, and the city was always the part of my trip that dragged my commute down under 40mpg, not the highway.
Manhattan is exceptionally bad on mileage too - by the time you get up to 15mph, you're already stopping for the next light. It's efficiency hell for cars to drive around there when it's relatively less busy, let alone during congested hours.
The indicators may be nonlinear. This depends on the shape of the tank. I know because I own a car with a "guess gauge" like that.
That's not a range indicator, that's a gas gauge. Range indicators are on newer cars, and tell you the number of miles you have left based on the time since your last fillup, gas left, and almost never take into account conditions like speed and stop-and-go conditions. My guess is that the Model S doesn't have a battery charge indicator, which is analogous to a gas gauge, but does have a range indicator.

Blackjack.

I'm pretty sure there isn't a single 70mph road in my entire state.
The BMW isn't really comparable - it's a performance car. A real comparison would be the other 3-series models, which run 28+.
There's more than 4 people involved in your visit, you just didn't see or think of them.

Let me guess - Dropbox or a similar service?
I think you meant pro-monopoly, as the UEFI BIOS issue is clearly anti-competitive.

If you read the manual, the interview process is entirely handled by random individuals within the company.

They're not government owned in the US...
Would you rather not have health insurance at all?
Just wondering, what do they do instead? At some point, there's going to be a crop around that can be contaminated, right?
You're definitely painting the article with a bias towards conservatism, though.
They mention California and Oakland, so it's the San Francisco Bay area.
