I'd assume it's very simple - you must pay the sales tax on everything you buy. If they're in your state, the vendor will deal with it for you, otherwise it's your job.
Law of diminishing returns applies here. Putting more money/effort/etc in isn't always worth it. It's quite possible that the point where unit gain is less than unit cost is fairly low in the TV programming market.
Mainly because the tracks in the states are not fenced off. In the UK every single bit of railway is fenced off and it is a criminal offence to trespass thereon.
Both the Eurostar and "Le Shuttle" trains are to the standard European loading gauge. Eurostars themselves are simply slightly modified TGV units, and despite the standard UK loading gauge being more restricted than the European one, Eurostar sets have been used for certain relief services in the past. The US loading gauge is similar to the European one, and I'm sure it would be perfectly possible.
If you don't stay with the vehicle (and therefore don't need walking space either side), even the UK loading gauge is more than sufficient for transporting cars around, as was done throughout rail history until the last twenty years or so for passenger use and is STILL done for industrial and military purposes.
The shooting could have a legitimate reason - but I can't see any good reason for dumping the body in the street. Any independent support of that fact?
Not everyone has the space or money to run multiple computers. There's no point replacing the entire machine when replacing one part will do. Yes, maybe replacing the case has a negligible cost compared to the rest - but nevertheless there's no point replacing it if you don't need to! Likewise, why buy a new optical drive, or network card, or PSU, if the existing ones are fine?
As mentioned above, I owned a kit that instead of having the fixed layout of most such kits, it literally was a large divided breadboard, a wide range of components, and a 300-project manual.
I had one of those Radio Shack style kits. I also had a more advanced 300-in-1 kit which used a breadboard and loose components in almost all cases instead of the fixed terminal layout of the other kits. I still have it, and all the components, and I'm strongly considering experimenting with it some more - and of course it is useful for absolutely any experimentation.
It came with a wide range of components including about ten different IC chips. Something like that still has all the basics of the simpler kits but gives you a lot more flexibility later on. Might be of interest to people.
Afraid I don't have it with me though so I can't check the manufacturer. I do know that it was bought about twelve years ago from my local radio shack style shop in the UK.
Count me in there as well. I was going to buy Spore as soon as it was released, as long as it didn't have idiotic DRM - which, apparently it does. Highly unlikely to make much difference to those pirating it (which of course I would never consider doing), but I'm not going to be buying it now.
Email to EA it is then. Their loss, and they might as well know about it.
Apart from being huge and heavy, though, the house robots weren't really that impressive compared to the cream of the competitors' designs. Even in the first series they didn't always win, and the entrants generally improved.
I may need to hunt down and watch some robot wars now. Damn you!;)
I work in a warehouse at the moment. When, for example, the computer system goes down, there's only so much we can do. Usually I go grab a tea or a bite to eat, or grab a broom and tidy up.
"Effective", at least in the equivalent UK legislation, is defined in the laws in question as pretty much meaning "one that exists". NOT "one that works". As I understand it a similar definition exists in the DMCA. I'm no law expert, but I think that the definition of a word within a law overrules any general interpretation of that word.
Unless he used a noncommercial CC license version, he permitted it when he chose the license - and I feel reasonably certain that the advertisement creators would have noticed that bit.
Remember, national rate numbers EARN money for the party at the other end of the line. They want you to keep calling and earning them more money. This is why I refused to call TV licensing to order them not to send me any more threats, but instead emailed them.

Hmm. I hadn't thought of the tobacco advertising ban as a good thing for the tobacco companies, but I think you're right.

You would trust everybody who knows where you live with your house key?
Seems to me that it makes more sense to give a key to someone who DOESN'T know where you live than someone who does.
My mistake. Nevertheless, as I said, if you're not transporting the passengers inside the car, even the fairly small UK loading gauge is sufficient.
And yet the Japanese have managed it. Not with conventional rail, no, but they do hold the maglev records by a very large margin.

But it does suggest that they won't be punished for going along with it, which is almost the same for practical purposes.
I blame the llamas.

Do I have a weapon of mass destruction with me that I can detonate?
That was my first thought too.
My second was related to a highly rated Bash joke about plums.

She should have been stopped and questioned. She should NOT have been charged.
Recently I get Indians calling from a phone company. They tend to hang up on me rather than the other way round.

Since when were market prices for textbooks NOT outrageous?
