Can't blame em... Unfortunately the internet is now another accepted medium of distribution. Hopefully this opens the door to innovative licensing such as cost per listener, etc.
There are many reasons. It really depends on your tax code.
Here I can charge my company rent, expense milage, meals and pay myself in dividends which means lower taxes than being self-employed.
Also small corporations ( $200,000 a year) get a lot of tax benefits.
It's easier to apply for corprate loans, grants and raise your hourly rates as a consultant. Corporations can also hire and sub-contract with more ease.
Personally I like the ability to keep all the finances separate. Personally, I am completely broke. The company on the other hand is doing quite well.
Check with your accountant (student accountants are excellent sources for the latest information)
It's tough in the beginning. Heck, it's tough still.
To manage the projects I use a combination of Quicken and www.tutos.org.
Tutos allow you clients to login and view the progress your are making on their website.
A bonus for us is that we are also a small webhost so we provide the domain, the hosting, and the website all in one package. Most of our clients feel much better knowing they only deal with one team.
Here are some tips:
1) Get incorporated. I can't stress this enough! 2) Get insurance. You like your house right? 3) Give estimates first with a deadline. Without a deadline you will be in maintenance mode forever. 4) If things get too busy, you can always count on me to help you out;-)
Can anyone sum up how much power it takes to create a gram of antimatter? And how much power would a gram of antimater give when it collides with regular matter?
Remember E=mc^2 ? So, since you have 1 mass being antimatter and other mass being regular matter, and they both annihilate each other into energy wouldn't the output energy be E = kc^2 where, k = Mass of Antimatter + Mass of Regular matter
So, in the future, even if it costs us 1.9999999 units of energy to create 1 unit of energy worth of antimatter, we would be annihilating it with normal matter (with costs nothing). Then the result would be 2 units of energy. The surplus energy would be minimal (0.0000001 units), but with enough of a kick, we could have this surplus creating more antimatter, right?

I assume you read the entire post, but just in case you didn't, I did in fact mention that there are many great managers who are not commerce grads. I also listed some attributes that made them great managers. I am in no way saying that only commerce grads make good managers. I am just trying to say that having a large surplus of managers who are not trained to be management people will lead to the problems outlined by the original poster.

In Canada, 3Mb/s is $48 per month... cheaper if you go with a smaller provider !
The US is sooo expensive.
It has to be the richest web application I have seen.
Incredibly well designed, flexible, and scalable.
They are years ahead of the nearest competition.

sit in his chair with those two big brass ones?
I hid a full system behind a solid end-table near the TV and used a S-Video -> RCA cable for video and a Stereo Jack -> RCA cable for audio.
Then I used myhtpc for the interface and X10's Mouse Remote for the remote.
It's wife-approved!
cPanel is incredible. Automatic updates, very easy to use. All my clients are using it.
Only negative is the price....

The "Advance Options" button/tab/dialog.
Hide everything in there.
Whatever happened to just calling my friends and telling them where I am?
Is this too much these days?
I told myself, once tossing salads became a common part of slashdot, I would have to switch fields.
That's it I now officially hand in my slashdot account.
I can now tell my wife:
"See honey, I buy playboy for the interviews"
not anymore
That's a message from God!

Using available open source software (PostNuke, PHP, Apache, and PnModules), this site has been able to create a simple way to exchange books.
Please don't kill it! It's on my server.
Is this the first example of the Slashdot effect on an email address?
Don't forget "Secret and Lies"
Even more important than the first book.

One more thing.
Using Normal(tm) matter to annihilate with anti matter will bring new meaning to destroying the environment.

Remember E=mc^2 ? So, since you have 1 mass being antimatter and other mass being regular matter, and they both annihilate each other into energy wouldn't the output energy be
E = kc^2
