They don't owe anything, the Supreme Court has ruled that you don't have to collect sales tax unless you have a presence in the state (a la the Commerce Clause of the Constitution). It isn't tax evasion, pure and simple. Congress has the so

I'm totally on Amazon's side on this. There is this little thing in the constitution called the commerce clause, and any state that is going to try to force you to collect their sales tax even though you don't have any physical presence in

I know this is a religious debate but this one bugs the hell out of me: Use singular for table names (i.e. use StudentCourse instead of StudentCourses). Table represents a collection of entities, there is no need for plural names. NOOOOOO!!

This is actually very useful, Snoop is a utility for debugging the WPF visual tree and it has had this feature for several years now. I don't know if snoop was the first to have it or not though. http://snoopwpf.codeplex.com/documentation

Please don't editorialize in the submission title "Exactly how record companies screw over successful artists [2000]" would work just as well.

The day that everyone joins a CSA is the day that I become a Malthusian. I believe we can easily feed everyone in the world despite record population growth, but it sure isn't going to happen without the technological advances of industrial

why does it take so much capital to build a nuke plant? Sounds like a regulatory problem.

I thought you could pay however you wanted on ebay (including check or cash) it was just up to you to work something out with the seller. From what I understand, Dwolla not only does C2B but also does a ton of B2B transactions per month.

by viggity 15y ago
I'm interested to see what their fees are going to be. PayPal is ridiculously expensive (2-3%). Dwolla is a flat 25 cents per transaction (regardless of size).

I support software patents, but the USPTO needs to make some drastic changes in what is considered "novel". Way, way, way too much of what is patented is, pardon the pun, patently obvious.

I know that there are semantic differences between "Software Engineer" and "Computer Programmer", but they seem really insignificant to me. I'm curious how they differentiate the two. How does HN differentiate them? I've always just thought

He was the self professed architect of 9/11. Give me an fucking break. Hitler was never tried in court, does that make him not a murderer?

by viggity 16y ago
We are celebrating the death of a murderer. When you see people in the middle east in the streets, they are celebrating the deaths of civilians. That is the difference, and a big one at that. I hope he rots in hell.

Good Calories, Bad Calories (by Taubes) is none of those things. It is not a diet book, it is a book about diet. Any layman who picks it up to read it will almost immediately put it down due to the very dense text full of medical jargon. I

Try contracting. Seriously. Go to a local user group and talk with people who contract and see what the going rate is in your area. Its probably 2x to 2.5x of what you're getting now.
