Yes, but they are charging someone more to provide access to their site. The issue is to ask for a % 'tax' and the amount that they charge will be different for every punter with ie7.

I wouldn't call it sneaky, it will be up for debate. Everything will be put on the table, other parties will put forward their recommendations. Everyone will disagree and enjoy an expensive holiday... see you next year. The International Telecommunication Union members will work on (tweak) polices and plans for next time to justify their large pay packets ... nothing gets done.

This idea has been around for awhile, the UN wants to raise money. A country has to agree to give tax to the UN ... not everyone will agree to it, why would you.

Just thought of something ... how would this effect winstep, Jorge.
MS is looking to get rid of start menu hacks for windows 8 " Related to this second point is information I’ve received that Microsoft has been furiously ripping out legacy code in Windows 8 that would have enabled third parties to bring back the Start button, Start Menu, and other software bits that could have made this new OS look and work like its predecessor. In fact, I’ve seen that several well-known UI hacks that worked fine with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview are

I'm afraid that the import of workers into Australia has little to do with getting the right person for the job, but more to get the right person for the price. We have some of the best wage and conditions for workers in the world. The mining elite have been arguing to import workers to break the unions and to keep prices and conditions down. They won't put in programs to train people for positions, they want the government to put the time and money in it. They get huge tax br
