What else do people use them for, if not storage?

What are you worried about? This is 1874, you'll be able to sue her!

I can remain in a hardened state for extended periods of time using little energy!

So can anyone, it's called rigor mortis.

When you're standing 2 metres away from someone, and they say "hey, what are you doing now?", do you reply "did you mean 0.0000000066712819 seconds ago?"

The problem isn't the number interpreting it, but that it's, as you put it, "debatable.". that's not something lawyers let their clients do--we find ways with known meaning.

I haven't done any of those things, but the Lions Club I'm in had its major annual fundraiser last night. We spent Monday and Tuesday evenings setting up chairs and tables, then worked our asses off last night. Most of the money we raised will probably go to dog guides and/or a camp for dialysis patients.

Am I allowed to use my Arduino now?

Your honor, I'm a chimpanzee. Your scientists saw me stacking stones and then hiding them and so they sent me to law school. Your world frightens and confuses me! When someone sends me a text message on my iPhone I wonder, "are there tiny people inside typing it?" I don't know. But I do know this: when someone like my client slips and falls on the sidewalk in front of a public library, he is entitled to two million dollars in compensatory damages and two million in punitive damages. Thank you.

Flip the coin on what you're saying: when apple builds a machine in Ireland and sells it to me in Nevada, the state of California is entitled to a piece of the action.

We're not talking about moving taxes on CA activities out of state, but protecting its activity in the entire rest of the world from CA's greedy hands.

Nevada does *not* give these companies a break for which they "qualify"--our tax rate is 0 regardless of size.
