Don't bother. Just tried it myself, and although the FF track is still listed as "free", when you attempt to DL, iTunes gives a message that it's not available for download, etc. right now. Oh well...
According to my handy calculator, that's $57.69/wk. Now, how exactly would that be possible? You do understand your employer normally subsidizes your healthcare costs; and that rates are higher when you are not a single, young person?
Yeah, seriously, what's with the prima donna attitude towards that sort of thing?
The problem with that kind of work isn't the work itself, it's they pay that you normally receive (e.g. warehouse work at $10/hr). For $68/hr., there's not a lot I wouldn't do.
And with that last sentence I've now laid myself wide-open for trolls. Whoops, double-entendre!:\
I agree, the greatest atrocity of the use of the modern spreadsheet is that 90% of the time, people use them as a formatted document mechanism, instead of as a data repository.
Well, erm, there was actually logic to that you see...
When NN4 came out, Netscape was busy at work on the Netscape 5 codebase (what eventually became Mozilla). After about a kazillion slipped deadlines, and the battering of the free and pre-installed IE4 that they competed against on Windows, Netscape open-sourced the moribund and convoluted Netscape 5 codebase as the Mozilla Project. To show they still had some hope for the future, Netscape 4.5 was introduced as an interim release--one which.1 revved all the way up to 4.8; so much for "interim".
Meanwhile, after languishing for approximately two years, Mozilla finally gained some traction and started pacing up towards an actual 1.0 release, after several buggy milestones and many pre-releases. Although this was really "Netscape 5", the Netscape company decided there were too many bad associations with that version. Hence, Mozilla 0.92 or so became Netscape 6. Eventually, when Mozilla hit the 1.0 release, Netscape obliged with a 7.0 release, due to the premature release of those buggy pre-1.0 version as 6. and the desire to ensure people understood it was massively improved.
So as much as it looks like bizarre marketing, there was a logic and consistency to that versioning.
Thanks to the hassling of dedicated Mozilla and Konqueror users (such as some of us Safari users were once, on both Macs and PCs), Safari pretty much has no problems accessing the web. With the exception of a handful of poorly-programmed finacial websites with their old-world demand for "IE 5+", and some other sites with crap CSS and DOM usage.
Trust me, buddy. Safari has no problem accessing the web.
better yet- have him buy people things to become popular, that works great and is likely what he'll be doing to get a date when he grows up anyhow, "life skills" right?
I believe this is referred to as the Bill Gates Method.
You do realize that Audacity is merely an open-source program re-implementing the ideas and interface of venerable sound editing programs such as SoundEdit 16 and Peak, don't you?
It's not cutting edge, y'know. It's merely an OSS + Linux-ized version of software that exists quite readily in the commercial world for The Big Two OSes. To call it a "model" is just a mite bit uninformed.

FYI:
The article you are referring to was actually in Harper's Magazine.
Yeah, you need to get 10.3. NOW you're cooking with gas--an upgrade from 10.1.5 to 10.3 on my G4/533 was like having a whole new computer...

Just saying your math's a bit skewed...
Yeah man, that's a helluva deal. How'd the grandparent swing that?
I wouldn't be so sure about that...
Just do a search on Google and see how for any vaguely x-rated term, a whole host of fake listings appear.
If they haven't solved this in the six+ months this has been happening, I wouldn't give them full credence for their ability to stop warez action.
Now THAT'S funny.
Something tells me that the mods who are calling this a "troll" are missing the obvious Matrix reference...
If you wrote a book about this experience, you'd be a regular modern-day Kafka.
Of course, that might be yet another security violation. Perhaps you should have posted AC...

Ain't you learned nothing yet from any of these stories, kid?

Consider yr.self lucky. Go get an MBA in Marketing or something.
Something tells me that if he was getting paid at, say, $60/hourly this wouldn't have fallen into the "worst job" category.

Why would you need an open source Java?
Blasphemer!

Yes, that is pretty funny isn't it? On par with Kazaa's complaints about Kazaa Lite...
Shades of Star Wars, eh?

Interstingly enough, it also works fine in Safari...
Eh? What in tarnation?!
