lots of fuddy duds (i.e., high salaried decision makers) get their fingers into the website design process, CCing staff lawyers etc. Which doesn't mean the result is garbage - it can really reflect the company (highly technical, arcane, com

maybe there is something to borrow from this situation. if you have tasks a,b,c to accomplish for client z, and they don't bug you at all, you might (having the same issue with focus) piss away the days on other things, avoiding tasks a,b,c

Following these heavy handed approaches to whistle-blowers and undercover reporting, then Acorn should be protected from terrorists using some 'intent to harm' argument. You see how insane this all becomes. I hope these legislations are cha

in part yes. at the same time, anyone using this argument for farms/ag is trying to conceal misdeeds, not trade secrets. Farms etc., house animals, which are protected by laws. The operation is not private such as your home is. Equally, a w

then we can expect a cascade of similar legislation banning taping in non-profits (Acorn), pseudo-private areas, etc.?

I am doing this for the 1st time in 2013. Having paid my 2012 taxes (1040 schedule C) using turbotax, it helped me estimate quarterly payments based on 2012 earnings. If I make a lot more or a lot less by mid-year I can make adjustments. I
