Intelligent people go to great lengths to avoid having to pay more tax than they are legally obliged to. But if you're poor you don't pay much tax at all, so what the hell are you complaining about? You're using the same roads, bridges, schools and hospitals. All for a few hundred bucks a year.

I guess what you don't understand, Dunbal, is the difference between legal/illegal and right/wrong.

In what world does 5 characters define a word?

When I took a typing class back in the mid-70's on an Underwood 5 manual typewriter, I do believe that a word was 5-characters -- and that does not include the space between the words. The standard is surely older than you are, whipper snapper.

Comment Bad Debt -- Life Goes On (Score 1) 341

98% of the recommendations made here strike me as wrong.

Here's what you should do: Terminate your business with them.

The funds that they owe you? Move it into the "Bad Debt" section of your ledgers. Don't work for them anymore and don't waste anymore time and money going after what they owe you. Even if you did finally get them to pay you for some of your work, can you trust them?

Move on. They have.

Comment Surface Tablet (Score 1) 724

I gotta echo other user's sentiments about Microsoft karma. It's Apple's ball and Apple's court and parking lot and towels and heating and lights.

Microsoft should, of course, monitor the sales figures for this product on their Surface tablet and see how it goes.

Apple will still be around later if MS wants to submit iOS Office for sale on the Apple apps store and pay what everyone else pays.
