...University. Last Tuesday, we invited President Neil L. Rudenstine to address our community and to explain why he has continued to pay poverty-level wages to workers despite the fact that support for a living wage has grown both on campus and nationwide. Not only did Rudenstine fail to appear at our rally, but he has yet to offer an answer to our question.

Linux, after all, inherited thousands of programs written for Unix, its software progenitor, and users are constantly adding to that library, modifying here, rewriting there, publicizing some and hoarding others...
...council banned surcharges. San Francisco residents may soon be facing the same fate. "The banks have a right to earn a return on their investment," argues Joseph Morford, a banking analyst for Dain Rauscher Wessels in San Francisco. The machines cost up to $50,000 each. But consumers now appear to be lowering their own costs by cutting back on trips to the ATM. Amortize that...
