    Microsoft went downhill when Billy relinquished the reins, and the hill wasn't that ... mountainous to begin with.

    Why yes, it does: "the company has driven innovation for decades." - that's news to me.

    yahoo and hotmail still put spam within the email, right? Unless they refrain I'm not interested in moving (my 7g of used gmail) to them.

    I just moderated about 5 on another page, then posted one AC on it, if it undid the moderations, it didn't give them back to use again.

    You can keep bitch-slapping them until I tell you to stop. Then someone else will want a turn.

    There were elements of sarcasm in my comment, like I'd like it to be possible to play off-line. and maybe sync-up when I connected next.

    If it was designed to work single player, it would not stop working when servers are down for maintenance, would it? :^)

    Hmm, where've you been?

    http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2010/12/productivity-commission-to-examine-1000-gst-free-threshold/ (just the top URL of many)

    "Goods ordered online from overseas aren’t subject to GST if the total order value is less than $1,000. That rule could change depending on the outcome of a newly-announced Productivity Commission investigation into retailing in Australia."



    But it seems unlikely, given it will cost more to collect than it will make.

    Would a classified job ad do for your citation? Goto one of the websites and look at the requirements they list before an interview, even. (I am not a government employee, but I concede I live in Canberra, and communicate with a lot of quite computer literate people in the government)

    That would not matter to SS. If you gift a car to someone and you're receiving SS, then you have to report that. Taking a loss is a variation on that.
