Western civilization existed long before the bible (the Greeks) and the predominant culture spread throughout western civilization (Roman) was non-Christian long before it was Christian.

Really? You haven't seen the countless people decrying how confusing and hard GDPR is to implement?

I don't believe you're calculating the pre law change correctly.

You could deduct your state tax from your income for federal tax purposes. So if you made 100k and paid 17k in state taxes, your federal AGI was 83k. Post change, it would have been 90k.

The Trump era change was really a fuck you to high earners in states with high taxes. Shockingly, a majority of those people tended to vote for the Democratic Party.

Thanks, I found it…

I just logged into my account, I can't see a way to renew for three years. The only option I have is to switch from annual to monthly billing.

So is stealing from people’s homes? I don’t get your point.

Given that principle and principal are two different things, I hope not.

Why is it ironic that the Author of the book would like to profit from his labors?

You find it surprising that an American author and book editor don't read or speak German?

I'm guessing the author remembered the word incorrectly and wrote it down that way. It's not hard to transpose two letters when you don't know the language.

What trains would that be? Street cars and busses are the only ones I can think of that don't have first class. Everything from the S-Bahn and "up" has a first class car or section.

No it wouldn't. You could say it's only for citizens of EU member states.

That's a restriction that wouldn't violate any EU law.

The irony. Re-read what I wrote please. I said almost.

> For over 1000 years black text on white paper has been the best practice for printed texts worldwide.

This alone almost made me stop reading the article. What worked for printed text has no bearing for what works on an illuminated screen.

But honestly, it's not grey text that's the problem. I agree with the author that maintaining high contrast is important, but it is equally important that things aren't too bright. You should avoid using extremes like #000000 and #ffffff unless you're really trying to make something highlight.

#0f0f0f or even #202020 doesn't make an appreciable difference, at least to my eyes. Believe me, as a 50+ year old, I notice when it's hard to read things.

Perhaps instead of calling your peers idiots, you might take the time to explain what made Sun so much better?

When was the last time the US invaded and occupied land on its own?

Except he explicitly referenced Google Fonts

Should vendors have to specify what portion of their monthly property taxes and rent go into the service/item a customer is buying as well?

If the mafia built the street, provided you with a shop to sell out of (with all sorts of nice features, got customers to come to your shop, and acted as a first line of customer support for all billing issues, would it be more reasonable that they got 30%?

How much revenue would developers make if Apple hadn't built the iPhone and the App Store and successfully marketed the thing to millions of customers?

What would be a fair price?

The linking stuff is simply because developers have tried time and time again to game the system by linking to outside shops. Hence the blanket ban.

Given that Windows 7 _Ultimate_ was installed on what is essentially an OEM machine, it's very likely that it's a pirated copy with a "home brewed" license key.

I think the most reasonable explanation is that either the OS was sourced already infected, or the crack tool they used was infected.

bing.com doesn't work?

They’ll make up for it in volume!

It’s for the Bluetooth piece. The optical sensor reads the result and the turns on the light and/or lets the phone know over Bluetooth.

Seems unnecessary, but if people want to buy it…

"Blueflow is a reference to toilets flushing on airplanes, and it is not welcome in this community."

I mean, if we're going to make up reasons out of whole cloth, any name is fair game.

He wants to buy the battery from Apple’s suppliers. Not from Apple or an authorized reseller.

Pretty rich to call them victims.

They have benefitted from a large amount of revenue and if they wanted, they could have easily prevented foreign registrations by requiring a mailing address in the country or that the registered site has some tie to the region. Like your example of .cat.

What exactly have these countries lost?

They aren't even supposed to be here.

My question is. Even after all this nonsense, why did it take several hours of questioning before releasing the man with the camera?

That would be the motivation for the union, but the question was about the company.
