PayPal a bit Wonky in Google Chrome for Mac

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

chrome-and-paypal

There is also an issue with printing packing slips from PayPal’s Multi-order Shipping tool. Only the first 3 slips print out.

Other than those two issues, oh, and the lack of Sliverlight (which means no Netflix viewing), I have been loving Google Chrome and am using nearly exclusively.

Oh heavy heart
Weighed down by so many leaves

Artichoke… One of my favorite poems, but I have absolutely no idea who the author is.

Students’ Rights Trampled On in Scheme to Jail Youths for Profit

Friday, February 13th, 2009

It’s one of those stories that makes my blood boil:

Judge, Mark A. Ciavarella Jr., and a colleague, Michael T. Conahan, appeared in federal court in Scranton, Pa., to plead guilty to wire fraud and income tax fraud for taking more than $2.6 million in kickbacks to send teenagers to two privately run youth detention centers run by PA Child Care and a sister company, Western PA Child Care. - NYTimes

One of their victims:

At worst, Hillary Transue thought she might get a stern lecture when she appeared before a judge for building a spoof MySpace page mocking the assistant principal at her high school in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. She was a stellar student who had never been in trouble, and the page stated clearly at the bottom that it was just a joke.

Instead, the judge sentenced her to three months at a juvenile detention center on a charge of harassment. - NYTimes

It hurts to think of all the lives they destroyed. Disgusting.
