Not a netbook, he wants a tablet PC. There are still a few companies putting out tablet PCs and they really are ideal computing instruments. Most are slightly larger than the tablets that everybody is used to but there's only so much stuff you can cram into the current tablet form factor.

I believe the collector market is dead for comics simply BECAUSE there was a collector's market. Once Marvel (and others) started releasing Limited Collector Editions it was the beginning of the end.

If you are providing ongoing work, use that as leverage. Inform the client that work will cease until they are current, this is VERY effective if there are open issues that the client wants fixed.

You could also send them an invoice along with a letter stating that the invoice is overdue and will go into collections if not paid within 30 days. You should be able to find a collection agency pretty easily, many of them work by buying the debt from you at ~25 cents on the dollar. Many companies will try to avoid collection as it will impact their D&B rating.

Now, in addition to the expense of paying for a Sales & Use tax for I believe it's 45 states, I have to pay a third party to process all my sales tax forms. Also, because not all states are standardized, you will also have to pay for a service that provides sales tax information for states that calculate sales tax based on location.

The point I'm trying to make is that most states that have a sales tax ALREADY require that residents pay the tax for purchases made out of state. There is no reason why states can't simply start enforcing these laws.

Freedom of Speech has NOTHING to do with this case. Freedom of Speech applies only to the governments ability to restrict speech and doesn't apply to what you can say in an online forum. If what she said is in fact true then libel doesn't apply because truth is an absolute defense against libel and slander.

It's not JUST calculating the tax. Every business would have to have a Sales Tax ID for every state that collects sales tax, those aren't free and some states require you to pay a yearly renewal for said privilege. Also, many states require you to file quarterly, but not calendar quarterly, quarterly based on the state's fiscal year.

Or they could just start enforcing the USE part of the Sales & Use Tax that most states already have.

I just tried this and if you select a playlist, you can still go into View / Column Browser / Show Column Browser

I personally don't see any problem with students having to wear RFID badges while they are at school.

There is no definition for this because this type of 'evidence' does not exist. Evidence must be presented in court and the introduction of said evidence must follow rules regarding its admission.

At the very least he ignored the judge's orders and should be held in contempt.

I hope you're being sarcastic. How are you supposed to play an online game without having an account? That would be like wanting to play Mafia Wars on Facebook without having to log into Facebook. I'm not a big fan of Blizzard but this lawsuit is total bullshit.

Parent is talking about selling his vote and you comment on his grammar?

The first is, if copyright doesn't apply in the US then the copyright holder has no right to prohibit resale.
If copyright DOES apply in the US and the product was legally obtained (regardless of location) then the original copyright holder should again have NO right to prohibit resale, applying the first sale doctrine.

Where this gets interesting is, will this ruling apply to ANYTHING manufactured overseas that has any type of copyright, such as computing devices and automobiles? Imagine not being able to sell your 4-5 year old car to buy a newer model. How will this ruling apply to things such as the secondary market for used CDs (many of which are imported)?

I'm very curious as to how this is going to play out.

In the tech industry? I would be surprised if more than a small percentage actually became citizens. Based on my experience, every H-1B employee I've ever worked with (~ 25) left the country after their visa expired.
