Every US state with a sales tax taxes stuff you buy out of state (in theory anyway). They just call it a Use Tax, but it really amounts to nothing more than imposing a tax on commerce that took place in another state.

OK, so take this another step farther. Move you and your money to a country that does not have reciprocity with the United States, or where that reciprocity would never be acted on in practice. There are plenty of these countries.

Most lawsuits are settled, with non-disclosure agreements as part of the settlement. Only if it goes to court and gets publicity will the next employer be likely to find out.

Which is why I said leave and don't come back. Take all of your money with you, and don't rely on an income from a United States based source. The IRS can always "require" you to pay taxes, but can't do much to collect if there's nothing of yours for them to grab.

So why don't you just get the fuck out and never come back? Then you can stop "providing material support to a terrorist organization", and save yourself a little money in the process.

That's not a bad thing. Cab Mafias are the same worldwide, and are in bad need of technological crushing.

You, and everyone who modded up this ignorant comment, could not possibly be more wrong. Police were a LOT more likely to shoot someone in the 50s then they are now. The public was just not aware of this because there was no video evidence. 50s cops were mostly on the take, and it wasn't even referred to as bribery. It was just part of the perks of the job.

Besides, if the Rosa Parks situation happened today, she would win millions in a wrongful arrest suit.

Just because you take your laptop home at night doesn't mean you have to actually use it at home.

If you do work at home, you bill for those hours, right? If not, you have nobody but yourself to blame for being exploited.

Groupon had no intention of paying at all. If it weren't for that they would have just brought up some other technicality.

Now security researchers know what they really need to do if they want to make money from Groupon vulnerabilities...

Use liquid nitrogen and freeze their skull from the inside out, then smash it with a hammer and watch it shatter. Put it on Pay-per-view and make enough money to solve all municipal budget shortages for the foreseeable future.

Federal judges can do whatever they want. There are no limits to the kinds of orders they can issue, unless overturned by a higher court which this won't be.

Nope. This is the New Slashdot.

All they're doing is speaking the language of their user base. Slashbots are pedantic, rude and trollish. There's nothing wrong with an editor that tailors the content accordingly.

"Feinstein has always been a closet Republican"

Come again?

"Then again, killing civilians indiscriminately with drone strikes as "collateral damage" is pretty barbaric as well."

You are an idiot. The entire purpose of drone strikes is to carry out very targeted killings. If we didn't care about collateral damage and didn't mind indiscriminately killing people, expensive drones would not be necessary. All we'd need is some far cheaper cluster bombs. Maybe some napalm.
