When I'm familiar with the source, the headlines are enough for me to know if I want to read, navigating the folders is super quick, and the feed indicator makes adding new ones very easy too.
Thanks a lot for that link! I know nothing of Apple stuff and a friend has got an old iMac that he thought was unupdatable but it seems there's a way. Cheers!
Xfce is pronounced “ecks-eff-see-ee”. The name Xfce originally stood for “XForms Common Environment”, but since then Xfce has been rewritten twice and doesn't use the XForms toolkit anymore. The name survived, but it is no longer capitalized as “XFCE” and is no longer an abbreviation for anything (although suggestions have been made, such as “X Freakin' Cool Environment”).
>Introduced by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Section 1706 added a subsection (d) to Section 530 of the Revenue Act of 1978, which removed "safe harbor" exception for independent contractor classification (which at the time avoided payroll taxes) for workers such as engineers, designers, drafters, computer professionals, and "similarly skilled" workers.
This was backed by IBM and lots of programmers had to change their classification. Many people lost income due to it.
>In one report in 2010, Moynihan's initiative was labeled "a favor to IBM."[19] A suicide note by software professional Joseph Stack, who flew his airplane into a building housing IRS offices in February 2010, blamed his problems on many factors, including the Section 1706 change in the tax law while even mentioning Senator Moynihan by name, though no intermediary firm is mentioned, and failure to file a return was admitted.
Correct, but the people I know caught by this lost a decent amount of income. Most of them ended up working for a contracting firm or converted to employees.
Some people I know lost 50% of their pay, it all had to do with taxes.
