A distribution center isn't a business? Or are they distributing without charge or paid employees from public lands?

The law says "Brick and mortar presence". It may not say "Amazon" on the front, and I'm a self-confessed Amazon fan-boy, but if you set up a 100% owned brick-and-mortar subsidiary in the state, then yeah, you owe them taxes or you need to set up in a state in which you won't. Figure out whether you come out ahead making 0% taxed sales from Texas or shipping from somewhere else.

Revenue from ads on the page he was advertising is kind of a mixed bag. Charging for private phone consultations I would say certainly qualifies.

Only if you charge for it. How do I get that job?

No, but handing out cards advertising services that you offer in return for compensation sure makes it look like one.

Somehow "Argh! G'day!" just doesn't have much of a ring to it...

That's correct. I took my GRE back in '99 or so. The reading comprehension didn't seem too tough (but I only hit a 540 if I remember correctly so I guess it was harder than I comprehended.) The other two sections were getting fairly difficult because I hit perfect 800's.

But, while adjusting an exam while you're taking it to better gauge where you stand seems useful, using something like this as an every day teaching tool is radically different and, to me, seems counter-productive.

At my college the math & physics departments were basically at war over teaching methods and decided to swap who was teaching a couple of classes. Trying to take Differential Equations from a physics professor was a complete nightmare. Not only do you need to have compatibility between students and teachers, you need a good match between teachers and their subjects. It's like saying that a good manager can manage any department whether he understands what his employees do or not.

In the end there can be only one.

I think you meant to say, "I am fight grammar Nazi tendencies." But that's fine. For all intensive porpoises, their the same. Too different ways of getting your point acrossed. I could care less. =)

"Limited immortality" is accurate on a long enough time scale, even neglecting buses, etc. Extinction is inevitable unless we can somehow turn physics around and survive as a species after getting really, really fucking cold.

Extinction pretty much negates immortality.

Only for very large values of 1.

That's hardly fair. I know enough to surrender my shoelaces so that I won't hang myself for littering. It's a Thanksgiving classic as much as 'A Wish for Wings that Work' is a Christmas classic.

Your post makes me so mad I wanna kill... I wanna kill... I want to see dead burnt bodies with blood and gore and veins in my teeth - I wanna kill!

You were lucky. You should see what happened to the guy in this documentary when the robo-grader didn't hear the pen hit the floor.

In order for a species to survive, an animal only needs to survive long enough to produce children who can survive long enough to produce their own. Once you're old enough to survive to the point of reproduction, how does snacking on a parent hurt anything? In fact, if the parent isn't providing anything that helps you survive, you're just having a meal and cutting down on competition.
