heh.
same as in finland.
yet better, we can bring thousands of littres of beer from germany, but when you bring thousands of littres of alcohol, it's considered to be bought for selling and you are required to pay taxes.

So, you say, you're not brewing yourself?

One of my cousins-in-law has his own little micro-brewery setup in his cellar. However, he used to be stationed (Air Farce) in Utah, so I guesss it was part of his essential survival gear.

sure, you can do your own alcohol (I didn't say I haven't done last year) but the taste of imported vodka as example is lot better than almost as costly home-made sh*t.

so, there is no reason to keep making it yourself except to maintain the skills.

Another funny side note on the Mike Rowe settlement...

MikeRoweSoft takes the war to eBay

It looks like he is going to get more from the auction than he initially wanted from M$.

Up to $30,000 and still 6 days to go... I'm taking bets he never sees a dime of this auction, or Ebay steps in and cancels the auction. Fun to watch though...

Well...Atleast he got the most important stuff form the M$ settlement...

Quote:

Eventually he and Microsoft settled, after news of the dispute broke and millions of people logged on to mikerowesoft.com to check it out.

The company agreed to pay any expenses the high school student incurred during the process, provide him with Microsoft certification training, and give him an Xbox video game system.
