Actually, it's $14100. The scale is progressive - you pay 19% of your first 37000PLN, 30% of the next 37000PLN and 40% on everything above 74000PLN.
That said, rarely do people who have even 1/100th of what Gates does, pay taxes as most of us little folk pay them. Incorporating yourself, working on a contract instead of work contract, payment in loans, in equity, in shares. Offshore bank accounts, etc, etc. There are a lot of ways to hide earnings or to book them as something else.
Even though the income tax scale in Poland runs from 19% to 40%, the 'effective tax procent' - the statistical average for income tax - is 14%.
I'm sad to say this, but the Thunderbird filters are pretty crap.
I switched to an IMAP setup at home - I have about 8-9 mailboxes on 4 different servers I check, getmail snags them all and courier serves them via IMAP. I use Thunderbird, TheBat and Mutt to read it. Nothing really special about the setup.
I haven't had time to implement any kind of server-side spam filtering, so I've been using Thunderbird (it's on the always-on desktop) to filter junk mail. The filtering is poor, to say the least. I've been using TB for about 4 months now, training it. I get a lot of spam - 100-150 piece/day - and right now it catches about 70%. Recently, I fed it about 6000 pieces of mail, all spam. It caught less than half. The false positive ratio is also too high for my liking - about 5-8%.
I probably wouldn't be bitching if it hadn't been for POPFile, which I used back when I was checking accts via POP. With POPFile, the accuracy rate ran at 98.5%. Nuff said.
Well, I think it's really important to realize that 1kg = 2.2lbs, not the other way arround. Thus: 240kg of fossil fuels is 529lbs; 22kg of chemicals is 48lbs; while 1,500kg of water is 3,300lbs of water, it's still ~395 gallons.
Actually, I keep the negatives at home and the scans on multiple copies (everything on my hdd, original lab scans and dvd backups). I keep every photo I take. Sure, that's a lot of DVDs and CDs, but I'm fine with it. They still don't take up as much space as the 2000+ prints I have.
Analog photography is a trinity: Camera - Film - Paper. Digital photography drops that down to two elements, the camera and the film. Kodak's main business was the film, and that's just gone. They never had a strong camera division, actually, their cameras were pretty shit. I had contact with a couple of their P&S models and went running back to my Olympus Mju. The photographers I know who are still rocking film (which is all of them, because even if they're using digital as a 35mm replacement they're still using film for medium format) have all gone to Fuji. The only thing I see people buying from Kodak is paper.
It might be a matter of perception. Canon, Nikon and Olympus got it. They realized that digital photography is all about the camera. They were the camera companies, they capitalized on that. Kodak was just making... the stuff nobody cared about. What part of digital photography finally makes its way to prints anyway? I've never had a photo printed, just share all of them among friends via the net. Hell, even when I'm taking photos on film, I develop and scan. And of course, I'm shooting on Fuji.
Hmmm... ideological reasons? If they're so sure of their ideals maybe they shouldn't read the articles at all. Honestly, it's tit for tat. In the same way I give people money and they give me products and services, the NYT asks that I register, and in return lets me read their articles off their website.
I'll be the first to admit it: there have been some pretty good episodes this season, story-wise. There have been total dogs (like the school-closing ep, I think I smiled *once* during that 22min fiasco) but it's a lot better than the shit they were putting out S12-14.
That said, it's still far, far away from the Simpson's glory days. I'm not talking about the story lines, I'm talking about the direction and 'cinematography' (if you can call it that) of recent episodes. The current eps watch like a sitcom. A couple of camera angles, some close ups, some pans, maybe a zoom or two. I watch eps from S1-3 (on DVD, woo hoo!) and it's a totally different world. Zooms, pans, moving shots, distorted angles, etc.
I don't know how much this is a budgetary concern (although with 13+ mln viewers you should have enough money) but it is something that has to be addressed in the movie.
So, I'm reading this using Firefox 0.8 (browser formerly know as Firebird and Phoenix) which was released a couple hours ago. Right next to it (on my screen) is Thunderbird 0.5, released a touch before Firefox. Yet, the story I'm commenting on is few days old - but it's news to the Slashdot editors.
I was like you, ignorant. Till I realized how often I was grabbing my pocket for one of my phones, after hearing one of the 30 other Nokia owner's on the bus get an SMS.
Canon is very cool - they are one of the only camera manufacturers that still supports the cheapest, non-proprietary form of flash media in all of their cameras - CompactFlash.
This statement is just flat out false. The Canon SD-10 (ixus i) takes... SD/MMC (although MMC isn't supported offically, but it works).
And the SD-100's the same. These cameras have been out since last year, so you just missed the boat.
Why the move to SD? I think it's a matter of size. These SD cards are about 1/4th the size of a CF card, which means that the cameras can still be ultra small (the SD-10 is 9x5x1.8cm!).

Because SMSes are good way to leave someone a message, and they're a lot FASTER than talking - especially to the party getting the message.
If you haven't seen them... then how are they 'over-hyped'? Being 100% anti-mass media is as bad as being 100% pro-mass media.
more like... $0.0005
Isn't any death that occurs as the result (even indirect) of a felony - murder?
ie. If I rob a bank and hit and kill someone while driving in my getaway car, doesn't it automatically become murder?
Or come to Europe and halve it.

I'm sorry... but what country has a GNP of $8mln?
It's only the 15th year.
Deadwood? You gotta be kidding me, that crap's worse than the current Simpsons episodes.

Here in Poland, all the labels use kcal (kilocalorie) to clear up the confusion.

Today's 40 year olds were in their 20s when the demo scene was in full gear.
