It seems that my age group (I’m 19) fell between the cracks. If your under 17 your parents get a $300 addition on their rebate check…okay…. But because I’m over 17 and filled out a tax return, where I made over 3k, but i was also claimed on my parent’s as a dependent (i still live at home, go to school, but hold a job) neither me nor my parents get a check. It took me 2 hours of reading to figure this out.

If Bush’s plan was to “stimulate” the economy with these checks, Why would he leave out this huge college aged group, Isn’t this demographic most likely to spurge it on consumer goods?

Just a thought.

Maybe you are like me and was curious about Linspire’s Click-n-Run (CNR) software that allowed you to “easily” install programs in Linux. So you installed it, like I did, and found it to be such a pain to use and all it did was mirror the Add/Remove… which is included within Ubuntu.

To remove CNR:

sudo apt-get remove cnr-client

If you are interested in installing software that is not included within Add/Remove… try www.getdeb.net. GetDeb allows you to download self installing deb files of many programs.
