Don't forget that the filing is free but there may still be a fee from H&R block to get a deposit.
If you don't have your own bank account, then you may have to pay them the fee to get a deposit. If you provide your own bank account, IRS will deposit the money directly to your account without going through H&R Block.
The problem with filing on H&R Block is that they have a sneaky way of getting you to authorize other fees. While you are filing, there would be several intermittent pages asking you to authorize different extra charges for this and that. If you do not read and keep clicking on Next, then you would incur those charges. You must click on "No Thanks" button every time it shows up. If you are eligible for free filing, not accept any extra charges, and provide your bank account info for deposit, then you would pay nothing.
And when your iPad dies? (e.g. I don't expect an iPad to last 15 years, but there may be a requirement for this software to last that long). At least if the company who writes it are still around then they might be selling a version for the iPad 20 or whatever happens to be around by that time.
You don't need to wait that long. You just need to wait until the patent is expired which is on June 7, 2015 http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/pac/mpep/documents/2700_2701.htm#sect2701 (this one is counted from 20 years of the date of filing which is longer than the 17 years from the date of issue).
The question will be how long an iPad would be functioning?
I think all of them can be at fault if certain criteria are met.
The teacher could be at fault depends on how the teacher "read" the book to his/her students. In this case, it is unclear how the teacher presents the content to his/her students (not mention in the article). A non-offensive book can be offensive if the person who delivers (reads) it wants to.
The child could be at fault if he/she intends to cause this mess. Is it right to mislead the truth? Children learn fast and they will keep doing it if they can without being taught and getting caught.
The school is at fault in this case because the school does not want to deal with the problem. The easiest way for them is to fire the teacher and hope that the problem will go away. Actually, this will teach other kids that they have a way to get rid of teachers they don't like.
The parents are at fault because of their judgement impair. I understand that parents most likely take their children side without any doubt and it is not easy to prove the truth out of whatever their child told them, but the action from these parents is overboard. I have seen this (and still do) everyday. It is natural that many parents are blind to reasons and won't listen to others when their kids complaint about others to them. Even though it is natural, it is not always right.
How does a busy doctor have time to talk to a rep? The rep buys him lunch. How does the rep convince the doctor that his meds are right for the doctor's patients? By giving him samples. All of the above costs money (lots of it) and it all comes out of the marketing budget.
What you are saying happens in the U.S., but I doubt it is the same in any third world countries. In my home country, Thailand, they do their marketing by giving money directly to the head doctor of the hospital. My sister used to work as a pharma rep and that's what others and she does in order to get the sale. The head doctor who has the power to authorize the buy (order) will have a private room to talk to any rep who comes in to sell products. Then in order to get the sale, the rep has to give him (or her but mostly him) a cut by giving cash to the doctor. The higher order volume, the more cash to be given. The pharma company will pay for the cash and will record this expense as marketing budget!
So the high cost of medication is not only from the pharma company, but it is also from many others who involve in the business...
"About 40 percent of all U.S. prison inmates never finished high school, and nearly 44 percent of jail inmates did not complete high school"
I am very confused when I read this sentence from the article (and summary) above. What does the difference between "U.S. prison inmates" and "jail inmates"? If "jail inmates" are in the U.S., aren't "prison" and "jail" the same? If so, then what the different between "never finished" and "did not complete"???
So, for $10k they get bunches of apps which can be distributed royalty-free for a year. If an app is popular, they can change the labels (create derivative works) and continue on.
I agree with you all of it but the part when you talk about "derivative works" because it is not correct. You cannot modify a copyrighted work (derivative work) and claim that the new modified work is yours. The copyright law covers that part as well.
It's not that "being gay" is a hate crime, but otherwise I'd agree. What if it was a married woman being filmed having sex with her illicit lover who killed herself afterwards? It would be exactly the same thing, yet wouldn't be a hate crime.
Does everyone in this society see man-to-man sex as the same as man-to-woman sex? If yes, then there is not a problem here; otherwise, I disagree what you said that it is the same thing because you are comparing apple with orange.
Even though I agree to your answer, I'm not sure about the meaning of the word 'devaluation'. I am not from a native English speaking country, so it is a bit confusing. If the devaluation is to reduce by proportion, it could be division which is what the author intends to state (100%X divided by 100%X is equal to 1). If it is to reduce by subtraction, then it would be what you said (100%X subtracts 99%X equal to 1%X).
Agreed 100%. Statistically speaking, the best approach is to only scan men, as the vast majority of (current) terrorists are male, and the available pool of potential future women recruits is (currently) smaller.
You said as if those who have bad intention (such as terrorists) won't adapt their strategy to your suggestion when they learn about it? It won't be that long before they know this type of strategy.
What if they now know, what's your next conclusion from so called "statistic"?
The problem is not the "borrow" thing. The real problem is that MS will eventually patent it, and then Linux will be out of luck in developing the similar feature!
I cannot completely agree with you about JQuery that it is extremely good (or bad). The library attempts to formalize one and only one syntax for all browsers while shorten the script (condense each popular functionality into a separated function). In other words, it attempts to create a set of functions to replace the original lengthy script while developers can ignore what script is working and not working on different browsers.
However, the problem is that many people rely on "library" too much, so they do not try to learn the "behind the scene" part. Before picking up a JS library, one should learn what the basic of JS first. This knowledge will help the one to understand what library is doing. From then, it will become easier to understand the format and functionality of the library.
Regulations could hurt both big and small businesses because they are to regulate (obviously), but they are mainly there in order to control the big to not go over board. Completely Trust big corporations to make their own decision (100% free market) is too optimistic and will lead to exploitation in the end (as always). If it happens, then those who are out complaining now will come out and complain again but in a different way.
Being optimistic is good, but that doesn't mean you have to leave out your pessimistic. Often time, we have to choose between prevention and solution...
I do not agree for all government, but I do believe that we need government to balance it out. Small business owners may gain benefit from not having government regulations, but do they ever think a bit further how much big corporation gain and how much small (individual) people lose? Yes, the small business owners may think that they are gaining now, but they don't see the gap that is getting bigger and bigger between them and big corporations until it is obvious how harmful to be thinking about "now" and "me".
Why do I need to care which party is bailing out more than the other? The bill is exploitable by certain group of people and should be dismissed forever that what I care for. Giving credit to a political party is just plain politic... What is your real intention?
Spreading a rumour without citing creditable sources is an ill manner; especially, using AC to post is showing the intention of defamation. That may be what you do on tweeter as well, huh?

Yes.
Yes, but then someone had to put in a new definition long long time ago even before he became someone that the world would know his name. ;)

You cannot patent "algorithm" either. Also, the patented methods are the implementations of mechanism, not the mechanism itself.
Spreading a rumour without citing creditable sources is an ill manner; especially, using AC to post is showing the intention of defamation. That may be what you do on tweeter as well, huh?
