Reverse the order - 1) the process is fair - everyone flagged by the algorithm gets a chance to explain him/herself to me. 2) cheating is wrong and should be punished. Your argument falls apart for the following reason: It is only fair if you are adept at verbally defending yourself. This is much akin to the argument that the poor get shafted in court. They are not capable of defending themselves. eg "I dint have nuthin to do with it". If you cant mount a good enough defense, you lose. What you have done is wrong and therefore should be punished. If you have ever been falsely accused of plagarism, murder, etc, you might have a different perspective. Just because an offense can provide punishment does not mean it must - bitchtard
I used Intuit until the activation feature came along then swithed to tax cut. Wait for the in-store box. You get a number of rebates (free state / free e-filing). Turbo tax fscked me hard. They required IE5.5 (or IE6.0) update which could be uninstalled after filing. At the time, IE 6 was (and still is) buggy so I reverted back to 5.0. Now I cannot upgrade to 5.5 and cannot install M$ updates / drm backdoors. IE is beyond fscked. It has no idea what version is installed. The IE component has redistribution licence restrictions so that VB assholes must require full IE installs to use the one component they really need (which cannot be independently packaged [by license]). That is why unix / linux / open source will ultimately succeed. Control over the code you run. If you cant develop it, you dont need it!

I found the OOPIC to be a bit easier. You can program it in C (ish). Its based on the 16F877 / 16874 PIC. The bare chips are available at Superdroid robots for $21 and the schematics are available at www.oopic.com (or www.oopic2.com) all of the hard stuff has been coded including I2C, timers, nav sensors, ranging modules. Here is the bare processor link. There are also starter kits. Use a 40 pin ide cable for off-board development.

Hey, that's me... I installed 1.2 in 1995 on my Cyrix 166 and upgraded to 2.2.6 in 1997. I use it for "real-time" system programming and its pretty stable 15 apps @ 20Hz (just dont do ls -lR/) Anyhow, I even have a few stability trace plots.
Supposedly the 2.6 kernel has pre-emptive multitasking of sorts. It will be great to see the differences.
My greatest thanks to Linus and all involved:)
OT - 5 years ago, I ported Wind River's Zinc Application Frameworks 5.3 to Linux using LessTif. Seeing that they have changed their tune, I thought of porting Zinc 6.0... Then I read their download agreement in full... Sorry Bastards... They could use my many bug fixes.
