If you do so, you will be acting as your own attorney, and will therefore be held accountable for the information you present to the court, as well as the final judgment decided by the court. Note: Self-represented litigants are bound by the same rules as licensed attorneys. These rules may be accessed by clicking here . You may represent only yourself and are not allowed to speak for an additional person or for a corporation.

The Scobleizer LonghornBlog Saddle Up! How to Hate Microsoft In all my travels throughout the blogosphere, I've met quite a few people who viscerally hate Microsoft. In fact, a few even admit it openly on their weblogs. 1) Those who hate Microsoft. 2) Those who hate Microsoft but want to see it improve. So, if you just plain old hate Microsoft, here's what to say: If you hate Microsoft, but want us to improve, here's what to say: Whoa, there's no difference between the two, right? Might look like it on the surface, but the person who wants us to improve will keep reading. After all, if you just hate Microsoft, why you reading a Longhorn blog? If you want us to improve, now we're getting someplace. Take a deep breath. Relax. Feel better? See, next week we're doing something different. We're asking you to help us improve Longhorn so it's an operating system that you can't hate. Why is this a massive change? Everytime we've released a version of Windows before we kept it secret.

I've only been a Microsoft employee for five months. Back in the good old days I was a beta tester. First with Windows 95 and NT, later with 98, ME, 2000, and XP.

HOW TO BE A LANDLORD IN MASSACHUSETTS AND AVOID LEGAL TROUBLE By A. Joseph Ross., J.D. Revised, January 2002 CONTENTS Introduction 1. Some Basics 2. Keep a Paper Trail 3. Use Written Agreements ... 31. Forms Introduction In many years of practicing landlord-tenant law, mostly, though not always, as a tenant advocate, it has become clear to me that many landlords, especially small property owners, don't fit the stereotype of the evil landlord. More often than not, they cause trouble for their tenants and themselves simply because they don't know their legal rights and obligations. If you are like many small property owners, you've probably assumed that there was nothing to renting a unit but finding a tenant and collecting the rent. Guess again. Most of us heard at an early age that ignorance of the law is no excuse for violating it. But all too often, the small property owner winds up in the lawyer's office only after getting in trouble. When that happens, all we can do is try to cut your losses. Please review these materials and consult with us if you have any questions. The best time to learn about these things is before you have a problem. My long experience has shown that better informed landlords are better landlords. This guide is a summary of things you may not know that
