Meanwhile, Hawaiian taxpayers face a $1.2 billion budget deficit, which is being addressed in part with deferred state tax refunds and deferred Medicaid reimbursements. Hawaii doesn't have a sales tax. It's a tourist

Well, I have to admit, I am certainly not a 6,000,000 transaction per year merchant, which is when I would need a level 1 audit that you and your friend so gleefully salivate over. I wish I was! If I was, I think it very reasonable to aud

I got frightened by all the PCI DSS fear that permeates this board. I assumed you guys had it all figured out, and to a man, you seem to all be of the same mind on this issue. Fear, fear, fear. When I actual Read the F----ing Manual about

I hate that google is so "text focused". Obviously, for 90% of the web, that's just fine, but I do web apps that "do things". For example, if I have a web app that converts numbers between bases (just an example, OK?), Google would ignore

Slaughtered or not, it's an awkward word to say "properly", and awkward words get changed. I find Kilometer much easier to say the American way "kill-ah-meter", rather than the correct way of "kill-Oh-meter". I suspect people will pronounc

What everybody here is forgetting, is that this is a civil suit. Why not charge them criminally? Bottom line, this has been staged to defang them in front of next weeks house hearings on banking reform. It's theater. That's not to say it

My contention still stands as to roots and derivations of both terms. However, I see too many, non-biased sites defining "regressive tax" as you do, to see the point in arguing. This battle was lost 50 years ago. The definition has appare

You probably are not aware of this, but when used in this context, "progressive tax", you are referring to a tax system advocated by the progressive movement from the late 19th and very early 20th century. The progressive movement is the f

I find myself emotionally torn about this. This is sharecropping, pure and simple. That's bad, since it's not me doing the share cropping. I suspect they can be very successful. Usenet was wonderful .. until it wasn't. A network of site
