Massachusetts has a state use tax. Anything bought and used in the state is taxed at 5% -- same as the sales tax, just with a different name.
However, there's an alternative to paying it. There's a "safe harbor" provision that says if you pay a certain fixed amount based on your income, they won't come knocking on your door to check what you bought with one exception. The "safe harbor" only applies to items under $1,000. If you buy 150 widgets for $999 apeice at seperate times, you're fine, you can pay $15 "safe harbor" tax if you make under 40,000 (or $0 if you make under 25,000).
Confused yet?

Rule #1: Never, Never ask an interviewer what they meant by their question. They meant it exactly like they asked it.
Give concise answers, if you find yourself getting too repetitive, think about the question and try to give more detail in your answer.
An European GPS system isn't that bad of an idea. It's not like it's going to interfere with the US system, it might incorporate some better features like stronger signals so it's easier to get a lock (it's almost impossible in some areas of the US with my Garmin unit), and it won't be at the mercy of US's whim to scramble the signal in certain locations or disable entirely if they wanted to.
Bluetooth has been supported on Linux for quite some time and is very stable. I use it occasionally with my phone when there's no WiFi around.
Pop in the bluetooth dongle, turn on the phone and run an init script I wrote is all that is needed to get it up and running.

OpenOffice is really a peice of crap. It's buggy, slow, and hugantic. While koffice may lack certain "features", it's stable, faster, and smaller. There's still no equivalent to powerpoint on Linux.
Also, no one really commented on porting it to ARM. Now Open Office can crash iPaqs too!

"Indeed, one TIA-like program conducted under the auspices of
U.S. intelligence is the "Novel Intelligence from Massive
Data" (NIMD) initiative of the little-known Intelligence
Community Advanced Research and Development Activity (ARDA).
Pursued with a minimal public profile and lacking a polarizing
figure like Adm. Poindexter to galvanize opposition, NIMD has
proceeded quietly even as TIA imploded.
The existence of NIMD was first noted last year by Jim McGee of
CQ Homeland Security. More recently, on July 24, 2003 he
wrote in CQ Homeland Security that NIMD was "roaring down a
parallel research track to TIA." NIMD was also cited in a May
21, 2003 article in the New York Times."
Did you read the article? And the patent in question? We're not talking about the potential to implement something, but something that was used quite often. And we're not talking about building blocks, low-level code, or "statements". Maybe you should go back and read the article over again.

1 terabit is 128 gigabytes. That is the definitive answer from google. It's not 116, not 125.
