I'm the only American I know that does my own taxes. I've never paid anyone to do them. I've never use software to do it. I print the form, and fill it out with a pen. It only takes me a few minutes. I even filed my own C cor

This sounds more like a mesh communication tool, or a git repo, than a social network to me. "Social network" sites like Facebook aren't so utilitarian. Facebook was the place where people post life's highlights. (I say

This is a silly rebuttal. At a restaurant, I assume they fill quite a few more than 48 glasses of water a day. They only have to print the piece of paper once. Most of your pulp wood comes from the south east. https://srs.fs.usda

I'd say Blake Burns is wrong. There is systematic bias. "Hi, I'm a middle aged man. I would love to hang around with school aged girls in my spare time. Where do I sign up?" You see the problem. The majority of people wh

passwordstore.org is good if you're a nerd. It's built on standard linux tools: pwgen, gnupg, git. QTPass is a QT based multi-platform desktop gui version. That helps if you're not in the mood to be a nerd today. Android Pass

I'll be extremely surprised if that is the case. I'm going to wait for the official response before passing judgement. Amazon can easily afford a $150,000 fine for copyright infringement, but the damage to their reputation would b
