I'd have thought it's easier to get a discount at smaller stores than chains?

I didn't realise that commenting was limited to only people who live in high-tax-paying-areas of the United States and no where else. Sorry.

Whenever you go a transfer through the US they always scan your bags again as well, like I could have somehow made a bomb whilst travelling miles above the ocean with no materials...

They just need to have models do the TSA checks and the number of complaints will fall right down.

Why the need for a dig at Macs? They're admitting sometimes it gets a slow and here's the fix.

I'm running on 2GB, it works fine until you start moving large files around or having photoshop running.

And rename them iGlass!

Hitler and Stalin didn't attack America first. It was America being the world police that got them involved. The Cold War was just as much America trying to spread its influence as it was Russia.

The majority of things are taxed though.

Say it's uploading a file, it has ten minutes to do that and then it'll stop. That's what I gathered from the article at least.

Are you being serious? That's actually amazing.

That's true. I know Apple have only one global site where everything key happens, but most companies are incredibly segmented. Doesn't change the fact people are after Sony, they don't care which division.

I agree. On the other hand, knowing your enemy has infiltrated your network sparks even greater paranoia - how far have they breached, what else do they know, what else have they changed, etc. Terrorism is after all, mainly psychological warfare.

@LeMaster People are complaining that because we're in a recession, public services are being cut. By paying a sales tax to your government, be it at a state or federal level, the government will then have more money to actually put into public services. One of the main issues people face is being made redundant…

The income tax rate here is between 0-50% I think and 20% for products when you buy things.

You know what else stays vertical in your pant pocket?

Same in Norway :') 25.5 in Iceland, however.

Because people complain that the public services are being cut and so on but for those to be paid for there's got to be tax.

We generally call it the "clin-ohbloodyhellitsstucktome". Or at least, that's what's said most often.

You can't complain about the economy and refuse to then pay tax on things. Mind you, you guys pay a ridiculously small tax on things anyway. 20% in the UK for everything!
