So if i make a crap music cd of my singing in the shower and try to sell it retail for $29.95, and print 2000 CDs x $30 ($60000 value) and donate them all to a church can I claim $60000 deduction in my high income job and then pay zero tax for my $2000 expense of printing the CDs? If I can and everyone can, this would be awesome way to pay no tax at all.
umm yeah, so what is school for? learning, out of an average 6hr day, you spend 90% of the time either reading/writing or learning, not chatting and having fun. So out of the average week if you spend say, 7hrs in social interaction, whats wrong with 4/days a week home school, and 1 day fun out all day with the other home school kids.
If you can avoid morons while growing up you'll be a happier person. The big problem is large schools, just like putting 100000 animals in a cage, they go crazy, same as schools, to make nice humans, you need small schools/small classes of max size of 10..14 in size. Just like bacteria if its crowded it goes mad. Smaller classes make it easier to weed out the bad ones, larger classes make it easier for bad ones to form groups and be dicks/gangs.
I agree, the traditional school probably breads more socially enept mean mosters of utter greed and back stabing that leads to criminals. Schools should be like bigbrother/survivor, if someone is a dick, you vote em off and say, "goodbye"
Only in america is it BAD mkay to show a tit, yet its ok to show americans shoving naked iraqis heads into the crouches of other iraqis 'so called prisoners with no charges which are later released'.
Id say if every channel had tits , and nude beaches people would be all too happy to make wars.
I agree tho, the governments job is security and law to prevent chaos, not to be our parents, otherwise they can pay my rent and credit card bills too.
If you report a bug to MS, you wont see it fixed for 7 plus years if ever. Why did all those windows boxes have mixing pixel in W if used as the first word in a text block? I mean how much tonnes of weed are MS employees smoking there.
Only apple could charge you MORE per year for online storage than it costs to buy a harddisk!
Jeeez, for $350, you could buy 1000GIG of HDs, so apple as usual does a 1000x fold markup, they go for perception of value, rather than what its real value is. If every MacOSX sale/copy got a.mac account for 12months free, and made the default price $49/yr for 1gig storage, or $19/yr for say 300meg, then they would get 1000x more customers.
At MS, the marketing people decide how it looks without any care to how it actually feels, not that they EVEN use it, though I think its time to block *.gif *.jpg from hotmail.com to speed up access, why doesnt MS just store the images inside IE itself at least it would make hotmail from within IE actually FAST and a dream to use, not like a crock of shit with 100 gifs taking 200seconds on dialup.
R&D is tax deductable from income/profits, paying your morgage is not (in many countries) or at most only the interest paid is deductable from income tax, nothing more.
So spend $9m R&D, and $9 gets deducted from profits. Spend $350000 on a house and you dont get to substract that from all your future salaries, pitty though, as it would fuel another market boom then BUST.
Why not just block all net access EXCEPT to the ISPs virus removale page, ie quaranteen.isp.com or something, thereby preventing the box from going stupid and giving them a chance to remove it. Do admins have any clue or are they just prevented from doing this by HR/CEOs?;=-)
Australia was using old units a long time ago too, how the hell did australia change so quickly and easily? Maybe coz we had damn lots of immigrants that all used metrics ? perhaps.... or are we just not so old school?
well, the p2p software can make 50 other bogus tcp connections during the p2p downloading, so the riaa couldnt even do a netstat to see where they are downloading from, remember MS isnt making the 'browser' here but the p2p people so they can hide/fool the real IPs much more easiliy with in the system. Scanning the local PC to make sure you arent on the RIAA can also help, if it is, format C: hehehhehe, evil yes, but it will come to that.
So, if everything becomes masked http or https traffic, via proxies with 80% bogus ips connected, (make it a variable HIDE_TRESHHOLD value in the options). There is no way the riaa can find who they are downloading from even by checking their own router logs.
I'm changing my official name legally to John Doe, so when im sued they will look at it and wont believe it to be real so they wont persue it and throw it in the bin.
Just claim that you had wifi at your house (buy one now if you dont have it) and had it setup OPEN because you found it easier to connect to at home using your laptop or pda. You turned of enc/passwd, and that you are clueless on security, and that someone else in the building/street must have used your connection without knowing. Bingo your free.
phuck em.
They arent above the law, they cant search your home and computer, so fake the logs and stuff, they have no leg to stand on.
(Ohh, and backup all your mp3s on a removable 120gig HD and hide it in your cerial box or bird cage)
You should be able to sim the whole thing yourself on ORBITER at http://www.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/~martins/orbit/orbit. html
Its an amazing sim that is probably the best free realistic sim of space launches there is, you can make your own real launchs or make your own space ships, shouldnt be
ever try even making a website for a government/educational department/unit? let alone a space ship.
oh the pain and red tape, and minor detail interference from suits that know nothing and last minute changes at the worst times, this is why govt stuff is so expensive, because their management is so unprofessional and nocare-for-time attitude.
In old soviet russia, the police demanded to see your potatoes rather than your papers since they were so hungry:)
Seriously even back then in badass countries, if you didnt look dodgy they had no reason to waste their time questioning every single person, they are human after all and not robots and have some logic to apply.
If you have to show your licence with in 24hrs, thats the same as having to have it any way, which makes sense, but gives 24hr grace just in case you forgot your wallet at home or got robbed.
What id like to see is inteligent cops being hired that can apply logic, and all idiot ones being fired, no matter even if they are short on staff, you dont need morons working as cops (as any job, ie el presidente).
for $12 a year, buy your own.com address and be Mr@ShitFace.com or anything you like, why waste it on a lame ass pobox.com crapolo, with your on.com , you can make 10000's of email addresses at your domain or 1000's of subdomains!
Why not just implement an open source KEYCHAIN like the mac OSX has, but store the keychain data in XML in any remote/file location you like, so its never centralized, but just as usefull. You could store in myisp.com/users/bob/keychain.xml and config a way to update it via ftp/ssh etc... so when your NOT AT HOME, you config your keychain app to use that stored value.
Is this something that is damn obiously needed in Mozilla? Comon guys, 100-200hrs work, get with it, or I will. Maybe an mozzie extension perhaps.
MozKeyChain here we come. Thats the biggest crap thing about mozilla, it remembers lots of things, but there should have been an automatic way to store it in some public/private online area. How hard would this be to do? 2-5hrs, store mozzie info on remote location ftp://user:pass@host/file , just store that info locally/encrypted though.
If you fire up a new install of mozzie , just enter that again and all settings/bookmarks crap can be downloaded again.
Hell, even store it in hotmail as a specified email in a specified folder and to update it by just emailing yourself in code, and remove the old one via http requests too. This would be easy to implement, as reading hotmail content/sending to hotmail can be implemented via http requests, (unless ms changeds lots of crap on you).
So screw this global ID business, and just use mozillas remembered usernames/password feature but store it in user definable areas, bingo everyones obselete and this would be the norm, just make a decent interface without 30 clicks and your done.
Gates just took his queues from IBM, read about IBM history, its worse than MS from 1890 to 1945. Utterly amazing, just read it, Gates is just a child of IBMs philosophy, dont forget where his mum worked too.
"at 100x cost of anything the private sector could manage [tm]"
Sometimes if a space launch requires 30,000 people to be hired, they dont care because its A) tax money, and b) bob squarepants senator gets is votes.
Sacking 26,000 people is probably not on their list of "reducing costs", even if a $6m super computer and wifi pdas could reduce paper work by 100x fold.
Having said that, yes its good what they've achieved period ignoring the cost.
Australia had a show called Suprise-Suprise, which was 100% like punked, but 3 years earlier, but using only local celebs.
Any way, they did one stunt on some lady who her husband was a tvshow star or something, and the prank was about telling her in the middle of the street after being pulled over by cops, that her husband was in a car chase with bank robbers or something stupid like that, well she was pregneant as well, and she really freaked out and believe all this and was panicking like hell, she could have lost the baby too. They never used the scenes,but they got in trouble for it.

Yes we are human , come visit, the 15hr flight is long eough to get drunk twice and walk out without a hangover.
