Many Indymedias in the US are registered as nonprofit 501(c)(3) entities, or are part of a larger umbrella organization that is a 501(c)(3).
I am involved in the DC IMC (which has nonprofit status), and when we had a newspaper it accepted advertising. However, the money brought in from ads was less than the cost of printing each issue. The rest was paid by donations and out of our own pockets.
Lots of charities sell stuff to pay their expenses; as long as they don't make a profit they aren't a business.
Carrying a concealed steak knife is illegal? So all those times I brought my lunch to work and stuck a fork and knife in the bag to eat with, I was breaking the law?
What am I supposed to do, get a steak knife holster for my belt so it isn't concealed?
I think they made some sort of devil deal with the post office. I returned a movie yesterday, dropping it in the mail about 1:00 in the afternoon. I got an email at 7:00 this morning saying that it had been received. That's 18 hours, going one state away. I've never seen mail move that fast.
Even if it's a totally different name, just have someone endorse it in that name, and sign it over to him. My boyfriend always signs a paycheck over to me to cover his half of the rent, rather than writing a new check, and I'm never had trouble depositing checks made out to him instead of me. They have no idea whether he's a real person, or if he actually gave me the check. If they give you trouble at the teller window, do an atm deposit instead.
I purchased my last three computers with large rebates. Two of them were bundle packages that involved several rebates (from the computer manufacturer, printer manufacturer, store, etc). With all three computers, I sent in about 7 or 8 rebates, for a total of about $800. I got all of the money, on time, without ever calling the companies. I've sent in a ton of rebates, for everything from cell phones and dsl installation, to little $2 rebates for stuff at the grocery store. I've *never* not received a rebate.
Maybe it's karma. If you think the money's not going to come, it won't.
Opera has crashed for me maybe two or three times in the past several months that I've been using it. Not a big deal. More frequently, my computer crashes (forced to use Windows at work). When I start Opera back up, the pages I had open reappear, saving me a lot of time searching for stuff.
