Do you tell them how many times you scored or how many times you met the hottest chick on the planet and she shot you down like the asshole you were?
The USSR & the US were involved in one hell of a game, something along the lines of "We will crush you!" If reports had surfaced that they had screwed up three times prior to a successful launch, chances are we wouldn't have been half as scared as we were, and we might not have mobilized as readily to go to the moon. What if those deaths made us think, "Ok, we are NOT spending several billion to send one or two Americans to die in space." (several billion for 55k Americans to die in random Asian spot, gogogo *ahem*)
The US did most of its space work in the open, and we love hearing about "the Right Stuff." The USSR did most of its stuff in secret, as was perfectly normal with the Communist regime at the time.
I have no moderator points, but I'd mod this one up. Even ignoring a trip the library, Google would have answered this guy's questions pretty easily...
there are people across the board who don't use accountants/lawyers, and will either get a refund for or have to pay varying amounts. these people are the ones who spent 0 on tax preparation. For the sake of this exercise, we will let f(0) = undefined, cause we're trying to figure out whether or not paying someone else to do your taxes gets you back money linearly, logarhythmicly, exponentially, or other.
spammotel.com generates a guid for you and associates it with whatever you want to associate it with. that email account can forward the email to you or block it or whatever.
but if you give someone a spammotel guid and a little while later spam starts pouring through it, you can tell who either sold your email addy or who has cheesy security.
can someone tell me if it's true that you can obtain a list of all the 'valid' emails on a mail server by sending a certain smtp query? if so, how to prevent if you don't have control over the server? thanks in advance
two points of data are enough to form a line, but the accuracy would be shit. let's get several more points and we should be able to map some sort of curve.

Turns out this only applies to civilian planes. Military planes are SOL.
Pretend the QT 3.0 was possible fud. (no release date whatsoever given, from a commercial company?) Who would they be fud-ding against? Just curious...
You need to post to fuckedcompany.com. At least you'd get some points there, and you could warn others as well. At least give your fellow employees a head start on the job search, ya know?

Go to HR Block, give them $50, let them do your taxes. Last year I got $40 back, this year I got $100 back. Not bad.
