Get used to the term "bait and switch". This is the same President who visits veterans hospitals and brags about how he supports the troops and our veterans and then proceeds to cut funding for VA hospitals and housing for military families.
This type of scenario is typical Bush/Rove administration. Stage a media event to make some statements, then do exactly the opposite when mainstream media aren't watching.
What is incredulous to me is that I _HAVE_ to pay to e-file. e-filing makes the whole process easier for everyone, so WHY SHOULD I PAY TO DO IT???? I can file a paper return for free, which ends up costing the government more since they have to hire people to handle it.
But instead the government uses my taxpayer dollars to send out postcards encouraging people to buy software like TurboTax or pay accountants like H&R Block to file electronically.
Free e-filing should pretty much be a right, IMHO.

All you need is a screen door and a rocking chair to complete things a la Kramer in the infamous Seinfeld episode.
Hey I used fredwriter until my senior year of high school (1994). I was the only person in school using the only Apple II in the school. Rest of the sell-outs used the Mac labs. Handing papers printed off of dot matrix when everyone else had laser/inkjet was awesome as well.
I wrote my rep (Tom Petri R-WI) and he replied saying he voted against it because it would require lighter cars and lighter cars will result in more fatalities and more severe injuries in the event of a car crash. Ugh!
I also just last week wrote to my senators (Russ Feingold and Herbie "Goes Bananas" Kohl) asking for a full tax rebate on SLEHUV/Hybrid vehicles like they give for SUVs. SUV owners also get a 20% _annual_ tax rebate after the initial purchase. I love having legislation go to the highest bidder.
While it may have seemed "sneaky", in the end, what does any of us care? We don't pay any more and if it doesn't go to this guy it would just go to Amazon.com of "One-click" patent fame. I don't shop at Amazon.com for that reason in the first place so I wouldn't have used his link. People should provide some links to other shops.
Have a look at GForge. Here is the blurb from their page:
"GForge is an Open Source collaborative software development tool, which allows you to organize and manage any number of software development projects. It's perfect for managing large teams of software engineers and/or engineers scattered among multiple locations."
Using some software that I wrote I am planning on setting something similar up for my high school class, in time for our 10 year reunion. Although since I was also class president I don't think the alumni association will be bugging me about it.
But enough about me! I would have to say that you are perfectly within your rights to setup whatever you want and charge whatever you want for it. Although I wonder if classmates.com might come down on you with some lame "process for talking to classmates" IP suit.
Finally, a web page for the younger kids probably isn't that great an idea. Most probably aren't familiar with the Internet
I would probably agree with you but my 4-year-old nephew plays flash games like a pro and uses the word "download" pretty much in any context, like the Smurfs would use the verb "to smurf".
Just another personal note on black hole lists. I thought they were the greatest thing since sliced bread until somehow my IP ended up on one. My web/email service is on a shared host. The host itself doesn't host any adult content, but the IP that it had recently acquired was listed in the same IP block as pretty much every adult/teen/kiddie porno site you can think of, and most that you can't think of. Ameritech subscribed to the blacklist and so I couldn't forward my domain mail to my ameritech.net account. It was a weekend from hell.
That must be some edit if he can also put Eomer in Helm's Deep the whole time (Eomer was never "banished") and have Erkenbrand come to the rescue at the end. And let us not forget the sweet, sweet Huorns. *drool*
Not really. And neither does this one. But I couldn't care less about karma and bonuses so I don't froth at the mouth checking boxes. If you don't like it, you can change your viewing settings.
I've been running Gentoo PPC 1.4 on my revision A imac (the original gumdrop-shaped one) for a couple of months now. It runs great, and I get the benefit of Gentoo's portage system. I'd recommend giving that a shot to anyone interested in linux on a mac. Plus you can frequent the #gentoo-ppc room and chat with gerk. He's dreamy.
No they didn't. For each one all I did was install it and put a shortcut on the desktop to open it. They easily figured out how to create/save/open/print documents. The UI is pretty similar to MS Office.
Funny. My wife is as non-technical as one can get and she uses OpenOffice on linux just fine. My mother-in-law uses OpenOffice on windows just fine. While I think OOo needs decent installer, the software at runtime is perfectly acceptable to these two "normal users".
Perhaps one option would be to phase out things that you can, like replacing MS Office with OpenOffice, but keep the Windows OS.
Instead of having a "Jobs" section, I would prefer to have a "Work Experience" section, then you could include goal-related experience. Say if you were a programmer/developer for an OSS project, and you are trying to get a developer position. However, for this same position, listing your translating duties might fall into the Hobbies-n-Interest category.

Serenity now.
Personally, I'd prefer to see MJ without the evening gown.

Some of us are still boycotting that joint. Anyone care to collect some alternatives?
Buy.com has it for $89.77.

I just tell anyone who needs any work done from me to file it in our intranet bugzilla site. Tracks status, assignment, etc.

We are gentoo.
You will be assimilated.
Resistance is futile.
THANKS for ruining the ending for me!

Hell, I'll sleep with Jack Valenti and Hilary Rosen!
Talk about pigs in a blanket!

Thanks I'll be here all week. Try the veal.

Anyone who thinks that taking over Iraq will cause peace in the rest of the reason is either insane or dumber than a bag of hammers.
How big of a bag are we talking about?

I was wondering when the first AC would post a useless reply. Looks like we can both stop wondering.
