Mozilla is raking in $50 million a year from Google

j_blogs: so .. you're saying non-profits should not be allowed to run fundraisers?
j_blogs: goodbye church raffle.
j_blogs: goodbye girl scout cookies.
j_blogs: goodbye firefox.
j_blogs: and you're saying a search button on a web browser is 'unrelated business activity'?
j_blogs: btw you can use different search engines using the button .. but google is already 2x as popular as any other search engine and has been for years because it works a lot better (and has for years)
j_blogs: links to 'instructions for 990T' which contains "Photographs of missing children selected by the Center may appear in instructions on pages that would otherwise be blank..." .. is this advertising? on an IRS form?
j_blogs: oh but missing children are a charity .. aww .. well what about Mozilla?
j_blogs: OK, so the author is talking technicalities of tax law, and I'm talking morals .. but ffs isn't it the IRS who police tax law? who has such an empty life they spend their time chasing up on tax-cheating charities? FFS?!
j_blogs: buddy, i wanna get a copy of your latest audit of the girl scout movement, pls. I'll swap you my investigation into Methodist Ministry finances.
j_blogs: then we can both get started on FSF and some hot Stallman action! :D
j_blogs: anyway, mozilla isn't directly displaying advertising, so to call it advertising is misleading, it's a referral bounty, for a search engine, from a multi-search button on a FREE WEB BROWSER
j_blogs: </questionable rant>
j_blogs: also btw, $4m isn't $50m, but you didn't seem to investigate that discrepency much before sensationalising the $50m figure.
j_blogs: summary: wierd unfocused article attacking finances of a non-profit, with no comments from any parties involved including the IRS, and apparently written by someone without specialist financial skills .. ???
j_blogs: so begs the question, what is the motivation of the author?
j_blogs: damn. makes me want to stop using scroogle
j_blogs: (ie the site which is displaying the article as an "exclusive")
j_blogs: NEXT!

Mutt-ng - anybody switched yet?

coderman: "Primates may have evolved colour vision not to find the freshest fruit but to detect blushing in each other's rumps, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.
coderman: The three cone receptors in the eyes seem well tuned to skin tones, the team at the California Institute of Technology found."
j_blogs: peachy

Create a transit authority to shuttle disabled people
posted by coderman at 2006-03-06 07:54

coderman: then create a police force through legal loopholes associated with a transit authority
coderman: then buy full auto, tactical body armor, and other toys only licensed police departments can own
coderman: and have fun!
coderman: n interviews with board members, they say the rationale for creating the transit authority police is twofold: they had the legal right to do it, and "it sounds like a cool idea."
coderman: "Maiwandi said he plans to forge ahead despite the publicity. And he does not plan to disband his police department."
coderman: <Maiwandi> dude, i paid a lot for these full auto MP5's!! shit mang!
