    FLYING A TURBO, HELP PLESE

    Just an FYI as someone who has never purchased or maintained an aircraft... this thread along with your previous one discussing the purchase makes it sound like you rushed into this without doing prudent research. I think that's why you're getting some harsh responses. Hope you enjoy your new...

    The mouseover text was "I just caught myself idly trying to work out what that resistor mass would actually be, and realized I had self-nerd-sniped." :D

    The era of 'tax free' online shopping...

    Not at all actually. I don't think NC has the right to demand a company with no physical presence in the state provide them anything... But I could easily be wrong.

    The era of 'tax free' online shopping...

    They call it 'use tax' because you purchased the item from out of state and didn't pay a local tax on it. I have a feeling that NC will be allowed to ask for user information along with the total non-taxed amount for the year, and then demand that the NC residents pay that use tax. That way...

    The era of 'tax free' online shopping...

    appears to be coming to a close, as states are looking for more tax revenue anywhere they can find it. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-20002870-38.html So have any of you paid the appropriate use tax on your online purchases? :aureola:

    New iPhone found in a bar

    This was found in a bar and subsequently sent to Gizmodo for inspection and disassembly. It got remote wiped, so I have a feeling someone is probably getting a sound thrashing from King Jobs, but still... I'm intrigued: http://gizmodo.com/5520164/this-is-apples-next-iphone Front facing cam...

    A venting from a citizen

    To seriously address this... yes, the gov't has your information in a database. The usual reason for asking that information falls into the category of necessary precautions. Here at the university we have this lovely thing called the FAFSA, or Free Application for Federal Student Aid. It...

    Why having the Apple App Store as the only source is a bad thing....

    Warranty this, warranty that. You jailbreak your phone, and as long as you can restore the old iPhone OS, you're fine. To use that as an excuse for "oh noes, I can't do that", especially coming from this technical crowd, is just downright silly. Enterprise app development is 300$ vs 100$ (per...
