Philalbe, based on what you've said, he sounds like someone you really don't want to be doing business with. In the end, the pay would have to be a lot better than that for it to be worth all the stress.
If I can offer you just a little bit of advice, having run my own business for quite a number of years, it would be this� Firstly, you're charging WAY too little. I did too when I started out. That's why this guy back-pedalled IMO, not because he's a nice guy, but because he realises that no one else will do the quality of work you're doing at this price. I could be wrong, but he sounds like some people I've seen before. He knows you're a bit green in business, and he'll take advantage of it to save every penny he can, hence the line that 3 hours is all he can afford. You have to be confident in your service and your prices and set them accordingly. If he values the service you offer, he will pay the price. If not, he'll go in search of the next person gullible enough to pay what he's offering, and he will. This kind of person places no value in establishing long-term business relationships and he offers very little value to you and your business.
I know you're only starting out and you're keen to get any work you can, but in the long term it's going to bite you because a lot of the customers you're establishing now at this price are going to start taking it for granted. I don't know what the going rates are in your area, but you need to find out. I'll bet you people are charging upwards of 4 or 5 times that amount.
Good luck! :)

Here's mine, I modified a fairly plain wallpaper picture I found.

Here's the background if you want it. Sorry, I had to up the jpeg compression quite a bit to make it small enough to upload. Oh you also have to strech to fill it as it's a weird proportion, but there's plenty of pixels so you aren't stretching.

On the contrary, resizeable textareas are part of the CSS3 standard; Safari 3.0 will simply be the first mainstream browser to implement it. Once you try it, I promise you will not want to go back. It's really a non-issue, and I'm surprised anybody's complaining about it to the point they would disable this end-user feature using JavaScript. I'll just disable JavaScript on your site, then, buddy.
The CSS3 resizer property is fine and good because you can set resizer:none to a form element if you want to. As a side note, resizer applies to all elements, including html, meaning a site could prevent you from resizing the browser window. That has the potential to be very annoying if abused, as I'm sure it will be. Right now, I don't think any of the main 5 or 6 browsers support this propery for any element.
What worries me is if Safari is implementing this feature using built-in DOM functions instead of just supporting the CSS3 property. This is a possibility to me. They've got quite a ways to go in terms of the standard right now.

But really, I'm embarrased for Apple & Samsung for these pathetic lawsuits they keep bringing against each other. Money, money, money!
Why? The law requires an rights owner to defend its IP or risk losing it. These suits are just business, no hard feelings, as seen by Apple's monster-sized component contract w/ Samsung. Any yes, business is about making money.

And people feel free to be as rude as they want, even bringing scat and other homosexual fetishes into a simple transfer of power to the second in command:
Dude my post had nothing to do with Scat or homosexuality insults of ANY kind.
My post was only specific to do with his mannerisms: triangular hand positioning (Jobs; and actors of V) the most noticeable. To me that is kissing arse; no need to copy that.

wall and dock please
I'm not sure about the wallpaper and I can't just give you the dock. look for the customization thread (somewhere on this forum) if you want to learn how to make your dock look like that.

Hey there
My question is this:
I use a Qwest Actiontech wireless mode. I gave someone my WEP awhile ago and I desperately need to lock them out and take away their right to use my modem. How do I do this? Thanks for your help.

And when FCS4 comes out it will be a year ahead of CS5. What's your point?
The point being that nobody knows when, or if, Final Cut is being upgraded, or what the quality of it will be. One can hope it will be awesome. One can hope it will be out next month.
It's hard to plan purchases around what might come from Apple. Secrets may be great for building buzz around an iPhone. It sucks for planning software/hardware upgrade costs in business.

I'm debating. I actually am within my 30 day window of having bought a Black iPhone 4 (had to switch corporate phone line to personal liable plan). No way I would pay money just to switch colors, but I always wanted a white iPhone. I think I'll mosey to AT&T, see how it looks, and if I like it and AT&T will swap, I'll get it.
I really like the black iPhone as well, so either way I'm happy.

This is an illogical comparison and does not give us any real information to go on.
Why?
They are comparing iOS Devices.
I don't think RIM and all the rest should be compared to iPad and iPod touch devices.
This is playing with the numbers.
What?
Then Android numbers should be disallowed from any discussion, because the fact that 200 devices made by 25 different companies containing 10 different versions of Android are not the same thing or related in any relative way. Android phones from the same manufacturers are barely comparable to each other.

Ok, here you go, my list of "Must Have" free apps:
TigerLaunch: This puts a little paw print near the clock at teh top of your screen and allows you to access all of your apps through it. Its quick, easy and very cool. Oh, and its customizable.
Desktop Manager: By far the most useful free app I have ever seen. This little gem allows you to run multiple desktops on OS X. It is great, free, and has very few bugs. It is cool beyond belief.
Konfabulator: The closest thing to Tiger's Dashboard feature. This widget launcher is free, cool and very well done. Great for webcams, weather alerts, stock quotes etc.
Tinker Tool, Onyx, System Optimizer and Cocktail all unlock hidden OS X features.
Teal and Gimp: A very poor man's photoshop.
Anyway, thats all. Let me know what you think of my list.

Lets say his girlfriends parents say it's ok for them to sleep in the same room. Also, lets say that you also know that your son is having sex. Lets also say that your son has been going out with this girl for 3 months. So would you let him or not?
i just skimmed through the thread, but as many said, I think your parents should let you and your girlfriend decide (or "one should let the kids decide";)). Just please use condoms.
If they already told you 'no', than I wouldn't go in an all-out war with them, unless you are ready to take off (something you would most likely regret afterward). Consider this is probably very awkward for them too, and I am not sure they would necessarily wanted to be filled in with the details. As long you clear that both of you two are informed and know about precautions and such, that should be enough.
Of course if they are very catholic, this could be an added layer of difficulty, but I am sure they would rather not become grandparents this early, no matter what the priests say.
enjoy. ;)

Enough already. They are not tracking your location. This data is recording the location of cellphone towers and wifi hotspots. It functions as a cache to speed up location acquisition but it still requires some real time signal sensing from your device to give you any level of acceptable accuracy such as coordinates from the GPS satellites themselves.
People who noticed that the recorded places that they had not been to saw data from before they owned the device and it was still in transit from the factory to their home town.

The world's biggest Viper dealer is up here about 45mins away from me. Woodhouse is THE place to go if you want to buy, or just gawk at, a ton of sweet Vipers. They're one of Dodge's biggest clients in the motorsports world, and expanded that to the street cars. Pretty sweet place. I bought my Talon from them years ago, and got to see The Viper Pit, as they call it. It is a sight to behold....
