Similar problem, I write murder mystery roleplaying games, and as a result frequently search for information on how various methods of murder could be detected or concealed.
The Australian Tax Office (ATO) has an online app that is updated annually for filing your tax. It automatically pre-fills any information the ATO already knows regarding your health insurance, PAYE tax or charitable donations, etc... streamlining the process.
Last year I did both my and my husband's personal taxes in under an hour - fortunately ours are both pretty straightforward. Refund received within 2 weeks.
My only gripe is that the application is coded in.net and requires windows to run. I'm going to have to install Parallels or something this year, I'm no longer interested in maintaining a windows machine simply to do my tax for one night per year.
Surely half the police procedural shows on the TV would provide prior art in face matching software - I've lost count the number of times grainy low res photos are used to identify someone doing a facial geometric match against some federal database.
As someone who used to be lead tech at a Apple Authorised Service Centre, I can tell you we spent plenty of time yelling at Apple for free stuff on behalf of our customers when it was required.
As a tip, the customer Service reps were generally more generous at the start of the month/quarter, than at the end, as they had quotas for how much they could give away.
Back in the day we used to distinguish between motherboards, daughterboards (like a video card in a laptop) and PCBs (printed circuit boards such as backlight controllers).
It's over 10 years since I last worked as an Apple warranty repairer, but I would assume that their process hasn't changed significantly.
Most major components are serialised, when you bring a computer in for repairs (especially a warranty repair), parts are ordered against the SN of the computer and specific parts (with a logged SN) are dispatched for installation in that specific computer.
Our order deadline was 2:00pm for overnight delivery, which would typically arrive mid morning. Our standard practice was to diagnose in the morning, order parts by lunchtime, fit replacement parts in the afternoon.
Because parts are allocated to specific computers, it was hard to carry additional spares for major components (I used to order extras of 'consumable' items at the launch of each model to have on hand), for non-warranty repairs we would often use parts cannibalized from second hand machines to get them up and running earlier. we offered the same service warranty for parts ripped from second hand computers as we did for parts ordered from Apple.
I don't particularly wish to get my breasts out in public, but as a general rule thee are few alternatives provided in most places I frequent.
Sitting in an alcove off the womens toilet (the option at most malls) is not an acceptable option. Would you want to eat in the toilet? Why do you think babies should?
According to the OFLC (Australian censorship board) squirting (female ejaculation) is a myth and it's actually urination - and is therefore refused classification.
These are the same people who think women who have small breasts in porn promote CP
My mother uses Reunion, and has been doing so for 10+ years now. I've migrated it across mutiple machines and OS architectures without issue. I think she started on a LCII and is now on an PPC iMac, I will be moving her to an Intel iMac sometime soon.
I currently am working on a project where we ran into issues regarding the number of toilets per person on the floor as they kept trying to cram more people in. Building Services got to the point where they refused to issue more passes for the building as a way of limiting the number of extra people the project managers could bring on board.
sadly, this could be the trigger for perpetual copyright. If an artist (actor) can continue to 'create' art indefinitely, why would their copyright ever expire - at least, that's the way I see the argument going.
PDF (Portable Document Format) was supposed to be effectively 'on screen postscript' to allow you to view content in a platform independent format which would render identically on any system.
Having spent 20 years on the pill for the same reason (with 2 phantom pregnancies and a hepatic adenoma triggered by the ill for my troubles) I am now finding it extremely difficult to get pregnant. The fertility specialist I am seeing says that 1 in 6 couples experience difficulty conceiving and I know several people who have availed themselves of assisted fertility techniques. I am currently jumping through the bureaucratic hoops to start IVF.
Age is definitely a factor in my case, my husband had a medical condition which meant we put off trying to get pregnant until I was in my late 30's. A womans fertility drops off rapidly after about 35 and catastrophically after 40-ish.
According to an item I heard on the radio recently, the average age for women in the IVF program in Australia is approximately 43. I don't know the quality of their information. To the best of my knowledge, Medicare subsidies for IVF cut out at 46.
Not wanting to add to your woes, but if she really hated sex with you so much, either you were doing it wrong or there was something really wrong with her.

I don't recognise the email address, but it sounds like my husband speaking.

What's that do? Count the kids you diddled?
Think pedestrian rather than pederasty.

Yes, it's a cosmetics company...

That sounds like a service you could possibly market...
When did the British become more uptight about sex than the USA?
You've never heard the saying "No sex please, we're British"?
Or for that matter: "Just lie there and think of England."

Well, you wouldn't want to let something like account security get in the way of getting your hands on chocolate.

If a huge space penguin wants a lazer (or lazor [1]), who's going to stop them?
[1] Oddly enough, my spell checker doesn't recognise either spelling.
You know what, I kinda prefer your version. Huge space penguins with lazors. :)
