You could also try your hand with a ruler and manually try to layout a grid on the project case using a white china marker, but there’s actually a much better way to accurately lay out your vent holes using a commercial graphics program such as Photoshop, or any free graphics program that has a grid function. You can do this without grids, but it goes so much more quickly if you use grids.

Just how many people would click an ad saying “Is your PC virus-free? Get it infected here!”? According to the security researcher who ran that very ad on Google for 6 months, 0.16% (409 of 259,723) would click on it. 98% of those people were running Windows. The Google Adwords campaign cost $23 in total, which works out to $0.06 per infection had the site actually been malicious.

IRPAC can be comprised of no more than twenty-three (23) members.  It is important that the IRPAC continue to represent a diverse taxpayer and stakeholder base.  Accordingly, to maintain membership diversity, selection is based on applicant’s qualifications as well as the segment or group he/she represents. Membership is balanced to include representation from industries including insurance, banking, the tax professional community, small and large businesses, colleges and universities, state tax administrations, software and the payroll community.

The IRPAC advises the IRS on information reporting issues of mutual concern to the private sector and the federal government.  The committee works with the Commissioner and other IRS executives to provide recommendations on a wide range of information reporting administration issues.  A report is presented to the Commissioner of IRS each year at the Public Meeting.

Traditionally you’ll wall-mount them or put them on speaker stands. But wall mounting isn’t a good option for me, since all the “good walls” are too far away or obscured by doors or bookshelves. And stands are out, because they’re prohibitively expensive ($40-100 each) and generally too short to stick up above the back of my couch.

The answer came in the form of a pair of [$13] Walmart “torchiere lamps”, those tall, wide-based lamps that are pretty much ubiquitous in everybody’s first apartment.

As for “Kid Nation,” skein will follow 40 kids for 40 days, observing them as they attempt to build a new society from scratch.

Rather than surviving on an island, the kiddies relocated to Bonanza City, N.M., a ghost town abandoned more than a century ago. Prodigal children live without parental supervision and modern comforts.

Goal for the kids is to build a functional society. They have to pass laws, choose leaders and build an economy. People familiar with the project said the kids may also be given choices between things they need (food and supplies) and things they want (think Nintendo Wii).
