California STers: Supposedly, today is the last day to be able to buy stuff online from Amazon (out of state retailers)without being charged sales tax -- (link) - con_carne Jun 30, 09:29 5
- They are cutting all their affiliates to get around the law. -- nm - Don Homer Jun 30, 09:32 4
  - Does this mean that they will be able to say they are an in-state company, and continue to not charge sales tax? -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 09:37 2

ColbertPAC! -- nm - nubby Jun 30, 09:24 5
- Did he get the full green light or some caveats? -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Jun 30, 09:31 4
  - He has to report some major in-kinds, but other than that, full approval. -- nm - nubby Jun 30, 09:32 3
    - You understand this opens the door for all media companies to do the same, yes? - Mop (197 lbs) Jun 30, 09:34 2
      - My guess is that he's doing this to get the attention of Congress/SCOTUS to take action. -- nm - nubby Jun 30, 09:35 1
        
        That would be a smart bet. -- nm - Mop (197 lbs) Jun 30, 09:39

    - Sure. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 30, 09:50

speaking of wine, i just discovered WWF does not accept "MALBEC." -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 09:01 19

  - evite means to avoid. :) -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 09:06 3

  - I'm pretty sure it is a French word :) -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 09:03 8
    - the grape is argentinian though. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 09:04 7
      - It's grown there a lot, but I'm pretty sure it was brought there from France -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 09:09 2
        
        (I need to stop saying "pretty sure." It's a shorthand way of saying I just read it on Wikipedia.) -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 09:12 1
        
        I read it as well. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 09:13
      - durr. -- nm - Diva Jun 30, 09:06
      - but it probably has french roots (literally) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 30, 09:05 2
        
        true! wiki says it's from the Burgundy region. -- nm - loosilu Jun 30, 09:06 1
        
        like most (if not all) european wines have American roots - Danedukenuuk Jun 30, 09:07
- thats lame -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 30, 09:01
MLB Trivia answer : #5 is Philip Humber, with a .97 WHIP -- nm - groiny Jun 30, 08:59

- [deleted] 4
  - I believe that 'yet' is the key here... - OAE Jun 30, 09:30
  - someone's conceited. We're talking about groiny/ML. -- nm - Reagen Jun 30, 09:10 1
    - Yep. And Myrtle will be their honeymoon!! -- nm - con_carne Jun 30, 09:11

- you are to mine and it includes a free autograph -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 30, 08:54
Also, it looks like it's possible for me to add a person to a circle, but for them not to add me. But I don't what results. Is it like a friend - mara Jun 30, 08:50 9
- i think it's like you can send something to the people in whatever circle you choose. not unlike a mailing list in an email program. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 08:55 7
  - So they receive it if they'll in my circle, and even if I'm not in their circle? -- nm - mara Jun 30, 08:59 6
    - i assume so. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 08:59 5
      - (because people will categorize circles differently. like, if have you in Friends, but you have me in Torontonians, we can still communicate.) -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 09:00 4
        
        No, I mean if put me in any circle. -- nm - mara Jun 30, 09:03 3
        
        I mean if they *didn't* put me in any circle. -- nm - mara Jun 30, 09:03 2

hmm apparently google+ is blocked at work. which hilarious since it just launched. -- nm - sycor Jun 30, 08:47 2
- perhaps they just block everything thats not allowed or reviewed but the admin yet -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 30, 08:49 1
  - no they actively block stuff. We used to have access to Netflix but blocked it once streaming started. But Blockbuster is not blocked. -- nm - sycor Jun 30, 08:54
