Good question, if I hire a cook at home to make my meals, yet I still pay for the raw food, should I pay taxes on the final product? Is this a case of "Income tax vs. Sales tax"?

Furthermore, if my wife prepares my lunch, should I pay tax over my food after is cooked even though I may have paid taxes at the super market?

And even worse, if I run a charity, and give people food for free, do they have to pay taxes for their food as well?

I still don't understand some taxes. :-(

And my take on that is the news and Internet itself.

With news indicating "how easy is to find how to make a bomb online" or even running an article explaining it , and on the other hand, geeks making references to little Bobby tables, what do you expect, but people going around and confirm by themselves?

If you have a license already, why not use it? Use that license to run on a VM. You can run Linux on your host, and you give the guests the possibility of using a "Windows machine" which is only a VM, you can revert to a previous state once they have used it.

The issue is not about getting rid of Windows, is knowing that you very likely paid for a license, so why not put it to use anyways?

While I'm currently sad about Reader, and somewhat afraid of the future of Google voice. I came here to check this.

For the short time it worked, the real estate search was the best service I found. A large comprehensive easy to use, easy to search system to find places for sale and for rent. I agree with you, it's a shame there weren't allowed to compete with the realtor mafia.

This is an interesting take.

Recently a friend updated his status to something like:
I had an accident, I'm already at the hospital

I didn't know if I should laugh at the amount of people clicking on "like". Is facebook thinking all the likes meant sadist behaviors?

Advancement in position.
