Then do you propose that brick and mortars should have to collect tax based upon the the customer's residence as this law will require of online retailers? Why should a brick and mortar in Oregon not have to collect taxes from customers while an online store based out of Oregon does?

This tax already exists in the form of use taxes. Just because most people don't pay them doesn't mean they aren't already taxed for the purchase.

My car has a box hanging under the rear deck in the trunk. It can be removed without tools and has four connectors that you disconnect to remove the system entirely. The entire system can be removed in under a minute after popping the trunk.

The largest difference between Mars colonization and colonizing a new continent is that a Mars colony cannot sustain itself. It is reliant on resources sent from Earth. When colonists reached North America they were not faced with a barren wasteland devoid of sustenance.

If you have a block on a street that allows parallel parking but has no lines for specific spaces how do you determine if there is enough space available between cars for another car to park? This method allows for that. If you have a space that can fit three small cars or two large trucks you can't have a sensor for each individual spot since the parking situation is dynamic.

Well, in a criminal trial, if you honestly don't know then you have a reasonable doubt and don't convict. Better 10 guilty men go free and all that.

If you have a question or a misunderstanding you ask the bailiff and he will pass on your request to the judge. The judge then has a say as to whether or not you receive said information and in what form. If the prosecution didn't present its case clearly, competently, and completely then it is not your job to do so for them. You are there to judge the facts; if those are not presented it is not your job to go out and find them.

The willingness of the student to put time and effort into learning is directly related to the interest and ability of the teacher and to a lesser extent the tools used to teach. A poor teacher using the wrong tools will severely tax the willingness of even the most interested student and may even make learning impossible. Any effort spent fighting the tools is effort not spent learning the material.

So a new car company shouldn't have to worry about including things like air conditioning, radio, anti-lock brakes, etc. because older car companies spent years adding features such as those?

The media are going to criticize Microsoft for lacking these features because they also criticized Apple and because they are now common and expected features on a smartphone. Mentioning that some people defended Apple's choice to initially leave out these features does not mean they weren't criticized by the media. This isn't interesting, it's expected.

But you couldn't walk around the house with it. You could walk around the same room. Next room, maybe, but certainly not two rooms over nor even another floor.

While not a complete solution, I find using a separate window for each category of tabs to be a nice workaround. Alt-tab or expose makes moving between them pretty simple.

Deliberate destruction of property to collect insurance is called "insurance fraud" and is illegal, no matter how cool someone thinks it is to stick it to the man.

I have to disagree; deliberate destruction is a subset of "if phone stops functioning for any reason" and would therefore be covered.

Your argument makes sense up until this point. Let's use your own words (changes in bold) to argue how expensive iPad development is: Apple, on the other hand, simply charges a developer's fee ($100) and uses license agreements to get a slice of whatever anybody sells on their system. Anybody who knows XCode(and that's anybody who develops Macintosh/iPhone software, which is a LOT of programmers) can develop an iPad application and sell it.

I'm not sure how a $100 developer fee and small percentage of each sale equates to expensive. Sell even 130 copies of a $1 app and you have completely recouped your initial investment.

So what you are saying is that, even though Bing may not be biasing results, in both the "Windows more expensive" and "Windows so awesome" searches Bing returns poor results with Google's being much more relevant?

No, but I think you are missing his point. Apple released a build that fixed Atom support the day after the report about losing Atom support came out. He's saying that this implies the fix had nothing to do with bad PR since there wasn't enough time for the bad PR to occur, Apple to come up with a fix, implement it, and release it in only one day.

No, that would be pretty easy. The difficult part would be fitting anything else.
