Comment Why connect it to your house? (Score 1) 607

Why not just run a separate line using roaming wire to wherever you'd want the juice? I see no reason to tie it back into your regular electricity. That way you can use the cheap inverter plus whatever storage you want and power up select electronic devices. I have a friend who does just that with a home made solar panel on his garage roof. He uses it to power his laptop & lights in his man-cave during the summer. Just be sure to be safe and not overload the wires.

New York to Implement an 'Amazon Tax' 411

theodp writes "NY Governor David Paterson is expected to sign a bill requiring online retailers to collect sales taxes on purchases shipped to the state, even if they have no operations or employees working there. The so-called 'Amazon tax', which applies to Internet retailers who derive sales through affiliate programs, would end what for many New Yorkers had been tax-free shopping and generate an estimated $50M in revenue this fiscal year. Experts predict that other states could follow suit with similar provisions."
