Java has its issues, but ultimately, it's good at what it does. Trying to use the wrong language for the job is always going to end poorly.
From what I've seen, most of the hatred for Java comes from people that are either fanboys or have been using programs that would have been better written in some other language.
That's not really a defense of the TSA. If they're missing that many incidences before they finally get rid of the employee, that's pretty serious incompetence and definitely negligent.
That's why it's so stupid, most of the ISPs in the US seem to be moving towards data caps. I've got CenturyLink which is the only option around here that doesn't have caps, and we're restricted to just 5mbps at the present. At points we've had the possibility of 7mbps.
It's kind of a bitch, slow download speeds or deal with a cap. Sucks either way.
Which is bullshit. The point of a business connection is that it typically comes with an SLA and better support when things go down.
I don't personally get the point of banning personal servers on these connections as a personal server isn't likely to see much traffic. And ultimately, a residential account doesn't us
Or stop packing the courts with conservatives that don't care about the constitution or rule of law. The 2000 Presidential election should have been a wake up call that some of the justices have no interest in doing their job properly. Overturning an entire election on questionable grounds and requesting that the ruling not be used as precedence in the future.
That last bit ought to be evidence enough that it wasn't a constitutional ruling.
I know from personal experience that landscape architects don't charge any taxes on their product unless they also do the building. If they so much as plant one plant on the design, they're required to collect and remit taxes.
And no, it's not producing a product, it's doing planning. By your reasoning, almost nothing would be a service as the person buying the service would always expect to get something out of it.
And you've got a shocking level of ignorance about gardening if you think that shoveling dirt from one place to another is common. Occasionally there's a regrade involved, but it's a part of the plan to provide the garden that has already been designed. The garden being the item that's been sold.
And no, buying the plants isn't taxed, the tax is on the garden, not the individual components.
No, but services aren't generally products. Around here if you just provide a service, you're not taxed for it, but if the service includes a product, then the whole thing is taxed.
It can get a bit complicated, but designing a new garden wouldn't be subject to sales tax, unless the party doing the designing is also responsible for installation. At that point, you'd have to pay sales tax on the entire thing. Whereas if you take those same designs and hand them off to a contractor to install, you only pay sales tax on the installation work, not any of the planning work.
From the sound of it, I think they're clarifying that the installation of software is considered to be a similar situation to the one I outlined.
Right, it's probably like it is around here. Where you don't have to charge sales tax on consulting work, unless you produce something. So, drawing up designs for a garden wouldn't be taxable, but the moment the designers plant even one of those plants you're then required to pay sales tax on not just the planting, but the design work as well.
I can see how this would be a bit ambiguous, if the law is anything like that in Massachusetts.
No, they don't. They're legally on the hook for the goods they produce for sale in Washington State. It doesn't mean crap that they're incorporated in Nevada for the purposes of selling licenses, they are under the jurisdiction of Washington State and that's where they do all their actual business.
This is settled case law, it's just that the state has been hesitant to actually enforce the law.
Technical literacy is a higher standard than literacy is. Literacy itself just requires the ability to read. Which doesn't take very long to achieve, especially since you're allowed to use a dictionary.
Technical literacy though, requires mathematics as well as various research skills in order to understand and operate technology.
Yeah, really. If he needs 3 different desktops, you can always split the monitors in multiple parts using virtual servers, IIRC. For some things I find that's better. Especially with these long 16:10 monitors where they're generally too long for things like reading web pages.
For a basic multimonitor set up, you don't have to. But, you're really limiting the things you can do if you don't bother. Things like virtual multi-monitor on the same monitor and various other ways that you can combine one or more monitors.
They've got a ton of stuff in there if you bother to learn to use it. In practice though, typical set ups are automatically generated.
If I wanted to pick a fight, I'd point out that evolution is real, trickle down economics doesn't work and men having sex with men does not affect straight people.
Bottom line is that this is pretty much the most politically active court since the Warren court and it was stacked in favor of conservative values. Which is to say, fewer protections for people and more generally bad behavior on the security front.
Those aren't facts. Under Mao and Stalin about 40-80m people were killed total by the government. Hitler's regime killed somewhere in the neighborhood of 6-12m people in the holocaust alone depending upon how you count.
So, to compare the things that the US government does to those regimes requires a certain loss of connection with reality.
Yes, the spying and the intimidation is deplorable, but let's keep it in perspective.
That's not true. My NJB3 used mini-USB and Firewire for data and because of the voltage requirements it used a normal charging adapter.
What's more, most of the units that were non-standard were ones that came out before mini-USB was formalized. My Rio 500 was one of them that predated the finalized spec.
So, it's rather disingenuous to say that a device that was released in 2003, 3 years after the mini-USB spec was finalized, couldn't have used a standard cable. They could just as easily have broken out the non-USB stuff into a separate port and permitted people to use whatever cable they liked. With the added bonus of having some redundancy if one of the jacks became damaged.
I disagree, by going its own way, Apple has managed to require people to buy special hardware and or cables to do the connections. Whereas the micro-USB cable that I use for my Nexus One will work with pretty much all the other Android devices out there. Not to mention with my Nook and other things which support the micro-USB connection.
Which means that when I go on vacation I only need one cable to charge those devices rather than one per device. There's a reason why the EU opted to standardize around a single connector, it means that we don't need a bazillion charge cables when we're only going to be using a couple at a time.
Assuming you knew. In practice the worst of this is done under gag order so that nobody knows which services are engaged in this sort of illegal spying. And thanks to the numb nuts that W had installed on Supreme Court, it's even harder to get the constitution enforced than it used to be. Damned activist judges.
Yeah, because clearly McCain and Romney would have been less quick to take our rights away from us.
Ultimately, as long as there are voters that support this sort of bullshit it's going to continue. Obama was less likely to engage in this than any of the GOP options were.
Considering that the Tea Party hasn't been declared as such and that there has yet to be even one sedition trial for those numb nuts in congress that signed that fealty pledge to Grover Norquist, I think that it's rather unlikely that they'll charge you for sending people those documents.

That's rather optimistic of you. I'm curious how long until they do more than surveillance on US soil.
I think we could probably just say this across the board in humanity
FTFY. TSA employees are human too.

Minimizing taxes for their shareholders does not involve tax fraud.

Minimum wage in Washington is $9.19 an hour. If they want cheap, they should move some place with a lower minimum wage.

Another? I think you have bigger issues than the government, sounds like you need a refill on that Thorazine.
Not with hardlinks it doesn't.
