Actually, starting this year, by law, the company you work for has to support electronically picking up your tax bracket directly from the government. Citizens no longer need to to worry about their tax card, however you can still inspect it online.
I would also say that most people don't have to make any changes to your filings, it's more relevant checking the information that goes into your tax-card, especially if you expect a change of income or debts as it effects your tax rate/bracket.
Furthermore, you are no longer required to (digitally) sign your tax returns. If you make no change or objection it is assumed that you're happy with them.
I'm sorry, but being able to put air in my tires and refill the oil on my car does not mean that I know anything about mechanics. And that's pretty much all that I need to know to be able to own a car. If I don't even own a car, just operate one occasionally I probably need to know even less.
Well it's a good thing I did not say that you had to become a world class expert then. Knowing enough to being able to do what you want in every field may be a little more than you think then.
There is a lot of difference between basic fields and sciences. Would you say that all fields of knowledge have the same level of requirements to understand them?
PS: Good for you. how's you knowledge about creating and maintaining fish ponds or basic elevator maintenance?
By the same token you should also know a little about raising pigs as you won't be held a****** farmer, or mechanic, and lets not forget those a****** astrophysicists, clearly everybody should be able to calculate the amount of redshift from a distant star. In todays society we need to specialize and not everyone can learn a little of everything.
I would just like to add a +1 to this, and would have loved to see a poll on the number of people who would just never buy a Sony device.
After owning a Sony laptop (why do I want that memoryshtick shit and why is everything on it non-standard?), a minidisc recorder (why can I only upload to it, not even download stuff I recorded myself?), seen the crazy that was the rootkit (thankfully didn't happen to me) I vowed never to buy their crap again. The playstation nonsense proved that it was a good idea and I can't see it ever change.
Friends don't let friends buy Sony.
I understand what you mean when you say you don't just want to write a book report, however as I don't know you it's hard to evaluate whether I will like it or not.
From a book review I want to get enough information to be able to judge whether there is a probability that I will like it. I want to know what to expect from the book, which is why it's important to summarize what's in it, what the writer's style is like, if it is dry or amusing, whether I can read it from cover to cover or if I will use it as a reference, or if it's probably just going to sit on the shelf.

* Would a newbie find it useful or bewildering? * How expensive is it? * Is it easy to use as a reference or do you read it cover to cover? * What didn't you like about it? * Was there any bad information in there? * When you say it's more linux aimed, to what degree?
Those are just some of the questions I can come up with from the top of my head...
I don't see how being worried about having to run away from irrational, religious, nut cases is arrogant or self-righteous. My experience indicates that it's rather the religious nuts who are both.
Read GP post again. They've won against the government. You could say that by proxy they have won since people are now afraid of their own governments.
Actually, if you look at the London bombers they were actually pretty normal people with living families and friends. They were not burning with rage or crawling anywhere. They were simply stupid, felt disenfranchised and were brainwashed by cult leaders.
The point (as I see it) of the grandparent, was that you put measures in where they are most effective. Some things you just can't control so we should just give up pretending that we do.
For a complete aside; I hope that if we ever take to the stars that we leave religion and religious people behind...

How about just buying one? http://kontormolla.no/

I would assume that is not a huge issue as af9ad.example.com is not a host that people would go to or anything would point to for that matter.

I second that. When the fingerprinting at the airport started I figured that there isn't really anything there I want to see that much.
