The IRS holds that you can deduct vehicle registration fees as taxes if they are based upon the value of vehicle or if they are flat fees. If they are based upon vehicle weight you cannot deduct them.
So states moved away from taxing on weight.
The "free" SAAS services are not free. You're just paying for them in your utility bill instead of directly. There's no subsidy here, just a different billing method.
I wouldn't wish cygwin on my worst enemy.
Stealing/theft is a word with multiple meanings. This is one of them.
Just because a journalist wrote about it doesn't mean it took the journalist to get the job done. Journalists love to talk up what they do, especially in these kind of "consumer advocacy" stories because they attract viewership.
For AT&T to bill a person for this much just requires a computer to total up some numbers. For them to collect it requires them to enter into collections. This would involve a review of the bills before it was submitted to collections. To assume that it took a reporter for AT&T to figure out they would do better to waive this bill than collect it is to take quite a leap.
This isn't an errant bill or anything. The person called long distance that much in two months.
And AT&T waived it after it was pointed out. So why freak out about this?
Finally, I'm really ashamed of slashdot approving an article which refers to an AT&T spokesperson as a "spokeshole" for no reason. Georgia Taylor didn't do anything to deserve that.
Show some maturity, slashdot.
Yeah. Must be the buyers who are braindead, not people like yourself (and CmdrTaco) who can't see what Apple actually does bring to the table.
And then they find out nothing.
This doesn't let them look at anything they couldn't look at without this attack.
If you went to some certain webpages really recently then it might be able to discover you did so.
And that's it.
In figure 3 Q1 is drawn as a FET (and the circuit implies it is one) but they refer to the "emitter" of it when speaking of the drain.
And obviously the goal of high resolution is counter to needing large cells to capture charge for harvesting.
The design would seem to imply that the device cannot be self-starting. That is, if it runs out of charge, it has no way to activate the harvesting and get it self running again. Ah, I see in there it say they had to start with a charged supercap.
It's still an interesting experiment.
The other countries already do this. And no, the US doesn't like it. No one does.
Every country expects their laws to be followed and considers them supreme to all others. If a law is broken in the US, the US expects to be able to subpoena the evidence even if it is in another country. And other countries feel the same way.
The 486DX2 was unquestionably the most famous chip of its era.
Some other notes:
The DX ran at multiple speeds, there was a 50MHz DX which was much faster than a DX2 for some things since it had a 50MHz external bus instead of 33MHz like the DX2/66. It was too pricey though. The DX4 (really 3x) ended that argument anyway and Pentium was also quick on the scene.
The turbo button craze started with the 286, where it would often toggle 8/16 MHz. It indeed was huge in the 386 days.
How do you call VP9 royalty-free in the same article as the rest of this info.
There is not currently a patent pool for VP9. That doesn't mean it's in a better position than HEVC, given there could be a "freelance" patent pool for VP9 any day now.
Any standard which becomes successful attracts leeches. VP9 is no exception.
And the government created that too. And the government decided eventually that confining the internet to just academia (as the NSFNET was) didn't make sense so they closed down the NSFNET and the main links changed to be commercial instead of government paid.
This period you speak of where the ARPANET was the backbone for a network that was generally used never existed. The NSFNET started out around 1987 and you didn't see any real commercial use of the internet until the early 90s. Even CIX (ANS) came in 1991 with the help of the NSF. After Congress (including Al Gore) passed legislation pushing the NSF to repeal its restrictions on commercial use you saw significant commercial uses take off.
Today's internet is in no way an unintended consequence. It may not have been paid for by the government, but they did design and develop it and were well aware of the possibilities beyond academia.
Delphi already said the car will only self-drive portions of the trip. Long portions of the trip, but only some portions nonetheless.
"When it’s not on the highway, one of the humans inside will take the wheel."
The Chinese government officially recognizes both knock-offs and counterfeits. Counterfeits are illegal. Knock-offs, which merely look at lot like the other item but do not try to pretend to be it, are legal.
These are knock-offs and are legal. The fake Rolexes you speak of are counterfeits and are illegal even in China. Of course, the law is unevenly enforced there.
It is not every question that deserves an answer. -- Publilius Syrus
