And if someone is going to print them, you would think they would use them.
Sunday morning. I know there's something I want at Michaels. I carefully tear the coupon out of the paper. I go to Michaels. I realize that the coupon is on the dining room table.
Schools get what's left over at a 2/3 rate. Vouchers can be transferred to another party once. If you claim your vouchers and donate them to your school, they'll get the full value.
1. One of your options as a member of the class action suit is to object. If you feel that strongly about it, write a letter to the court explaining your objection.
2. If you don't feel that strongly about it, but you do think California schools should get something out of the settlement, think about filling out the form and then either donating your vouchers to your local school or using the vouchers to purchase something to donate to your local school. Unclaimed vouchers are doled out to the schools at a 2/3 value. Claimed vouchers can be legally transferred to another party, which means your school could get full value of your voucher. Vouchers, of course, are not limited to Microsoft products but can be used for any qualifying hardware/software.
Lisa: Can you tell me what happens at the end of the series? J.K. Rowling, increasingly annoyed: He grows up and marries you. Is that what you want to hear? Lisa, dreamily: Yes.
1. Yes. My parents have pretty common names. One of their objections to switching to DSL is that they'll never be able to have their first name @sbcglobal.net.
2. The other main objection (and, really, the one that's the real reason we don't have DSL) is that they'd rather support the small local ISPs than SBC. I wonder how many people aren't switching for similar reasons. I also wonder why I never see any discussion of this issue around here.
Re: 1. Amen! Let's not forget that many elderly people are on low/fixed incomes. Reduced electricity usage = reduced power bills = a Good Thing for low/fixed income living.
MS Publisher files (the bane of anyone with any design sensibility) will only open on the version they were created in. This is true for at least the last two or three versions, although my memory fails for anything beyond that.
You clearly do not work for a non-profit. I am, at this very moment, in the building of a non-profit organization that has five out of eleven systems running Windows 95. I would love to have Windows 98 on those systems instead.
I think what people also like is that, at least in Northern CA, Arco tends to have cheaper gas than anyone else. (My experience is that the cheapest gas in the north state is at the Arco on the southern end of Yuba City.) What I don't like is that they have kiosks, but only one of them ever actually has paper to print receipts. Remember how we want user verifiable paper receipts? That goes for gas purchases as well as voting.
Shh! The best thing about the kiosk is that no one knows about it. I've only ever had to wait in line twice, and one of those times was on a rainy Veteran's Day when, apparently, the entire population of my town was at the movie theater.
And if you have a paid account, you can get a page of your friends' friends entries (livejournal.com/users/username/friendsfriends), which can be a good way to find new and interesting people. The emphasis in that sentence is on the "can." In my case, I often wonder why my friends are reading the LJs of these unbelievably boring people.
Obviously this won't apply to everyone, but there is the problem of allergies. When I moved back in with my parents, it was during the big energy crisis and we were absolutely not using the dryer. When I wore my clothes that had been dried on the line, I developed red, itchy bumps. It took me a few days to figure out that it was an allergic reaction to the pollen that had collected on my clothes. (I'd never had this happen before, and I am on allergy meds.) My parents still use the clothesline, but I'm back to the dryer. (Or, occasionally, drying racks in the house, but I find that that takes a very long time and the clothes come out extremely stiff.)
Clearly you don't work for an agency that's bound by HIPAA rules. HIPAA doesn't actually mean that things have to be secure, it only means that you have to take reasonable measures to secure data. Many agencies interpret this to mean that e-mail is "secure" if it has a footer, like the one I have to have on my work e-mail:
Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail transmission, and any documents or messages attached to it, may contain confidential information that is legally privileged. If you are not the intended recipient, or a person responsible for delivering this e-mail to the intended recipient, then you are (1) notified that any disclosure, copying, distribution, saving, reading, or use of this information is strictly prohibited; (2) requested to discard and delete this e-mail and any attachments; and (3) requested to immediately notify us that you mistakenly received this message by e-mail at xxxx@xxxx.org, by fax at (xxx) xxx-xxx, or by telephone at (xxx) xxx-xxxx, ext. xxx. Thank you.
This is, of course, completely ridiculous, but people don't actually understand that e-mail is not a secure medium.
Did you even read the page you linked to? It clearly says, under the "Average Dimensions and Weights" section that the thing is 14.1 lb. (6.4kg) with combo drive, 15.7 lb. (7.1kg) with combo drive and battery.
Ever since I was a kid, the best part about Election Day was that our polling place was in a neighbor's garage down the street. My brother and I would walk down there with my mom. We'd all chat with the neighbors and the kids would play with the sample machines (with ballots where you could "vote" for Orange or Purple for Mayor) while the parents voted.
When I turned eighteen, I proudly walked down the street with a friend who was also voting for the first time. The neighbor whose garage it was took our pictures as we signed in, and she brought them to us after she'd had them developed.
Just two or three elections ago, a giant church near us took over as the polling place for both our precinct and one adjacent. The church looks like a warehouse, both outside and in. The congregation has taken over staffing the polling place from our neighbors. In short, not voting in a garage has taken the joy out of the voting experience. My father has already become a permanent absentee voter because of it. I think the rest of the family is soon to follow.

And they damn well better have fixed Minesweeper. It used to be a fabulous game, but they uglified it to the max in 2K and XP.
Canvas is the real Green Friendly grocery bagging option. Reusable and as long as your groceries don't spill, they don't need to be washed very often.

Intent != follow-through
You're forgetting the very first category: diagnosing the problem. That's where the average computer user needs the most help.
And she/he/it should have run a level three diagnostic. Duh.

You know it.
And here they tricked us into thinking it was Kara who was going to be giving birth.

That sounds like a winning poll option to me!

I do not think that word means what you think it means.
