Ahem.

"This report documents the environmental impact of our facilities and our efforts to reduce their impact. In particular, this report documents: â How we generate and use energy across our worldwide facilities including our corporate offices, data centers, and retail stores by highlighting our fiscal 2012 accomplishments"

And for all of Apple’s corporate facilities worldwide, we’re at 75 percent, and we expect that number to grow as the amount of renewable energy available to us increases.

It doesn't include most manufacturing, because that is mostly third party companies. But why would you say it doesn't include Apple Stores? Of course it does.

humanity does need to wake the fuck up and start getting serious about colonizing other planets.

One option is to put the onus on the retailers to maintain a database of all the different sales tax rates in the country, so they can collect the appropriate amount on the purchase.

Another avenue is to put the onus on the buyer to calculate and remit the appropriate taxes to the authorities.

NewEgg is contacted by the NY Department of Taxation and Finance and ordered to turn over their NY sales records. No warrant is required, since the request is for tax compliance purposes. DTF runs the records through their computer system and looks up the tax records of each NewEgg customer. If the customer didn't report the sale, they're in big trouble. If it's a significant amount that they didn't report, or there's a pattern of non-compliance, off to private prison with you!

How Boeing talked the FAA into allowing this on the plane (in multiple locations) is beyond me.

You see, you can claim to want a gun for self defense but how many do you need? What did she need that arsenal for? Why so much ammo?

Yes, there are many MUD's that have been running even longer. But that's citing the *exception*, not the *norm*. Most MMO's, like most MUD's, have a certain shelf-life.

But when you buy a MMO, you have to know that it's not a permanent thing.

That's not ironic, it's coincidental.

"The use of words expressing something other than their literal intention." Now THAT is irony!

Shooting somebody is worse than any disks, so yes, a few, compared to your bank manager or other legal thiefs anyway.

It seems you got more chance to get a minimal sentence when you shoot your procecutor than copy a few disks.

Facebook allows other people to add you to groups - in other words, your 'friends' can basically edit an aspect of your profile. It's bizarrely stupid, and has been a common complaint for a long time, and this wouldn't have happened if Facebook didn't do this, but Facebook defends this practice.

If SkyNET developed a conscience, it would cancel third world debt and cut spending from pork-barrel programs, and would also be vegetarian.
