Just to clarify, it has nothing to do with if you're a "sole shareholder". If you're an employee-owner, you have to pay yourself fair compensation for the work you do, regardless of if there are other shareholders. If you attempt to funnel salary through shareholder profit distribution and don't maintain what the IRS considers a reasonable salary, you'll get nailed for it dodging SE tax. If you're a shareholder that is not an employee and does not do work for the company, you have nothing to worry about.
The typical advice on "fair salary" is to research a bunch of salary survey websites, print the information out and save it in a file, and then pick something about in the median. If the IRS comes asking, it's up to you to provide backing documentation that the salary you're paying is considered reasonable. If your profit distributions are still unreasonably high due to working twice as many clients as is standard and you don't pay yourself extra salary, that can also be viewed as SE tax avoidance.

The problem isn't that this picture was posted. The problem is that the school board over-reacted to something that really had absolutely no bearing on her ability to teach.
Also wrong.
While I agree about the general point your making, this woman should not be your torchbearer for this cause. The "Drunken Pirate" picture was just one example of many issues this student-teacher had, and not even the most egregious. Bad classroom management (yelling "shut up!" at the students), unprofessional conduct (telling them about an encounter with her ex-husband while on a date with her boyfriend), blurring personal-professional boundaries (telling her kids about her MySpace account), poor grammar skills (while teaching an English class!), inability or unwillingness to prepare for the lessons, making up answers to students' questions, etc.
The picture wasn't even the main thing the school took issue with. Nor was its "Drunken Pirate" caption. Along with the picture, she posted a public note talking about problems she had with her supervising teacher as the real reason she wouldn't apply at the school after completing her student teaching. Reading the judge's ruling (or even just the findings of fact) on this case puts it in a whole new light.
The story felt less credible to me. The interview read more like one guy asking questions and then answering them in guise, rather than two people going back and forth. It lacked authenticity and felt more like manufactured drama. I'm sure the overall information about how scams work is based on fact, but the relating of it just felt off.
What post history are you looking at? I just looked through the recent comments on her profile and couldn't see much mention of gender.
There was this thread and one other post about TSA data exchange specification that mentioned gender along with numerous other data fields. Other than that, it seemed like pretty typical nerdy chatter about malloc() jokes and energy through sewer tunnels.
What part isn't Mozilla friendly? I just went to the launch page with Firefox 1.5.0.4 and was able to navigate through the tabs and download the installer with no problem.
The winstation code that makes up Terminal Services in modern-day NT was, for the most part, the code developed by Citrix that would have been the new WinFrame hotness. Microsoft simply licensed it from them and incorporated it into the base OS. Microsoft added hooks for their RDP protocol, Citrix still offers you hooks to bolt on their ICA protocol, high-end management features, published applications, security tools, all the good stuff... as part of their add-on package.
Users can still be shadowed, you can still log in over a modem with ICA compression turned up and get peppy response from most office and CRM applications, and in my experience, it's no less stable than the old WinFrame boxes were.
Unless you celebrate Christmas very late, it's actually in the second half of 2006. The summary is a complete butchering of what the article actually says, which is something along the lines of:
Microsoft's mum about when Vista will be available, other than "second half of 2006". Analysts decide this most likely means it will be released on "Christmas 2006". A MS Executive blog saying "code complete will be August 31, 2006" is leaked to a news organization. Analysts decide this most likely means it will be released on "October 2006" which is earlier than they previously guessed.
No real news here other than analysts making as many different guesses as possible to hedge their bets.
I've called in twice over the few month to Microsoft, once for a SQL Server patch, once for a Visual Studio patch. Both times (and the several others over the course of the year), one of the first questions the phone routing system asked was if I was calling in for a patch. After pressing 1, the call got routed to a customer service rep who took my information and forwarded me to a technical rep. The technical rep simply verified the error I was receiving was fixed by the patch I was requesting and then sent it to me. Each call probably took less than 10 minutes.
Not sure why you seemed to have such a bad experience, but getting a hotfix has never been an issue for me, as long as I can remember to press 1.
I know asking for them to research is a stretch, but the submitter should at least read the acticle before submitting it. The quote was from a Technical Director at a consulting company that sells Citrix software, not from a developer at Citrix. Hyperthreading can definitely help performance of Metaframe running under Windows 2003. Enabling it in the bios on a server running Windows 2000 was where the problem resided.
Only if you keep large amounts of data in the profile itself and even then, usually only during your first login to a particular computer. If you can keep your users from storing all their mp3s and porn in the profile by redirecting their Desktop to their remote home directory, Roaming Profiles work very well, in my experience.
You're assuming everyone in the torrent subscribes to HBO and HBO OnDemand and pays HBO their monthly subscription fee to help cover the cost of licensing/producing the show. I'd say there's a 83% chance that's not the case.
And I was making a joke about the interest in illegally obtaining alcohol dropping to 0% once you turn 21, as if people over 21 are only ever interested in obtaining it legally. Get it? Cause turning 21 doesn't instantly squash someone's willingness to steal booze.
Now that I've explained it, it's twice as funny. Thanks, Chuckles.
while this figure dropped to 0% for those aged 21 and older
Wait, so stealing alcohol isn't a crime as long as you're 21 or older? Here I've been thinking for 5 years now that I had to pay the cashier on the way out to obtain it legally.
people would find it quite strange if they were required to install an extension for viewing just one web site.
I think the proliferation of ActiveX-based spyware installations on IE-enabled PCs debunks this theory. Uninformed Joe tends to see a dialog to install something in order to view the website, and since they want to view the website, they install it. I don't think this is a function of what web browser they run in the slightest. Until they're educated on what spyware is and why they shouldn't install everything they find on the internet, users just don't know to do otherwise.
Extensions, plugins, activex, they're all the same thing: downloading code to be executed on your PC. I think the key difference with ActiveX was the ease with which developers could add rich functionality to websites viewed in the most commonly used browser in the world. This led to ActiveX controls becoming more common (before everyone started shying away from them), installing them more routine for users, and users less like to think anything out of the ordinary was going on when asked to install one.
Firefox extensions look to be aimed more at enhancing the browser UI than adding rich content to a website. It remains to be seen if it will stay that way though, especially if Firefox's market share increase significantly.
500 km is about 310 miles. 50 liters is about 13 US gallons.
This is comparable to many US sedans. The question is whether the cost of hydrogen processing will be more or less expensive than the cost of refining oil.
To be fair to Linspire, their "really overcomplicated" registration process is pretty minimal compared to many other sites. All it asks for is name, email and password. That's it.
Once you're done registering, it logs you in to your account where you should see on the main page:
My Products Here you can download software products you just purchased on Linspire.com
Surprisingly enough, this is what you click on to download the free copy of Linspire.
The torrent's been crawling along for me though, I think I peaked a 4 KB/s.
It was released in January of 2004, so mainstream support should end 2009, extended support ends 2014. Sounds like they decided to extend mainstream support 2 years to 2011 and still end extended support in 2014. No conspiracy to see here.
Why pity them? They will still be supported for another 6 years (9 if they want extended support). They just aren't releasing any new versions of it.
Even still, some of the next-gen SFU functionality is being integrated into Windows Server 2003 R2. It's not the end of unix interoperability from Microsoft, just this derivation of it.

It'll be interesting to see whether Dutch-style openness or Soviet-style secrecy prevails in Las Vegas.
Injuction was already granted. Insert Soviet joke here.
At least as far as clip art is concerned, Microsoft's clip art gallery is searchable online.
Or you can use a standalone app to search it and insert clip art into your document.
That depends on what the meaning of the word "word" is.
Read up on "Freedom Fries" for a good example of redefinition.

I suppose this means we'll be waiting at least 24 hours for the first dupe to be posted?
Here's the correct link to Creating a Global MMO.
I could have sworn that HLTV, done by Valve does just this, and that it has been out for the past 5 years
hltv.org was registered back in April of 2002. Perhaps it was around in some other form prior to moving to its own domain.
I wonder if my 4 year old portal is now patented, and i should be paying royalties to Microsoft
Considering Microsoft filed for the patent back in August of 2001, anything's possible.
