Unlike Mint, the Buxfer name is terrible. Like a combination of "busted" and "f ked", not associations want with my money. The "bucks for" association does not come through online and is too clever by half. Of course I wish them well--

Resources are a function of technology, which in turn is the result of human ingenuity. There's really no inherent limit, considering the way markets develop substitutes (higher prices encourage both conservation and innovation). After all

There is no economic damage requirement if you engage in explicit price or output fixing (which could be a verbal agreement). See: http://www.ftc.gov/os/2000/04/ftcdojguidelines.pdf "Types of agreements that have been held per se illegal

I've used LogoWorks a few times with success. In every case some revision was required...most logos are a committee effort so users want to be able to revise them...it is also nice to get a couple different versions with the understanding

There's a huge difference between the rich and high income earners. The rich/wealthy often favor higher taxes because their income is from tax-free bonds or from control of assets, where income is deferred and usually part of a one-time tr

They could offer a free one time snapshot and then require registration/fees to see changes over time or to get recommendations or something.

Agreed. The problem isn't requiring registration, it is that the requirement isn't disclosed until after someone submits a link. Since link submit sites are common (HTML validators, etc) the resulting error page/requirement on this site i

The big mistake was declaring the moon a public commons. Instead it should be private property, first come, first serve....get there and stake a claim!

Grammatically speaking, the name is incorrect. The site should be called CelebritiesWhoTwitter...the correct domain name is still available (and one character shorter!) Sorry, I can't help myself. Cool site.

This is about stopping a form of business-funded deceptive advertising. This is not about regulating private behavior or private speech. You can say (or forward) whatever you want as an individual. The issue here is dishonest commercial
