  1. Re:Huh? on Google Launches PayPal Rival · · Score: 1

    Yes. 0.019x + 0.3 0.02x + 0.2. Solve for x.

  2. Illinois, not New Jersey on Student Faces Expulsion for Blog Post · · Score: 1

    Did anyone notice that the article, from a Chicago-area paper, said that the incident occurred in Joliet, Illinois, not in New Jersey?

  3. Doing the math on Municipal WiFi Costs Outweigh Benefits · · Score: 1

    $25/month per user = $1,500 per user over five years. That means that just 100 users per square mile would be enough to break even. If one-fourth of the population would use the service, that's a population density of just 400 users per square mile. The population density of Manhattan exceeds 62,000 per square mile. San Francisco, 16,000 per square mile. Any decent-sized city or suburb is going to have more than 400 people per square mile.

  4. Re:Editor's comments on Replaced by Outsourcing -- What's a Geek to Do? · · Score: 1

    If you're only making five times the cost of operating a car, you're WAY underpaid. But of course the reason companies aren't going to give you a 20% pay cut to work at home is that they can give someone in India a 95% pay cut to do the same work.

  5. Re:Certified Mail on Legal Recourse Against Spammers You May Know? · · Score: 1

    Of course, certified mail is only proof that you mailed SOMETHING, not that you mailed the specific thing you claim to have mailed. There is also a less-expensive "proof of mailing" which would serve a similar purpose but without the possibility of confirming that the recipient actually received it. This is popular for things like college applications and tax returns, which simply must be postmarked by a certain date to be considered timely, and where date of receipt is irrelevant.

  6. Overstock.com is even cheaper on The Definitive Guide to the Compact Framework · · Score: 2, Informative

    According to www.addall.com, Overstock.com sells it for $34.49+1.40 shipping or $35.89, $6.10 cheaper than Amazon and a whopping $16.09 cheaper than Barnes & Noble.
