1st Year of Creative Commons Hong Kong @ BarCamp HK 09Haggen So

This document advertises free Canadian income tax tutorial software that can be downloaded from www.sumtax.com.

Examples of new VRM tools are discussed like personal RFPs and fourth parties to assist individuals in negotiating with companies on more equal terms. The document calls for helping to develop these new VRM life forms and businesses to reform retail and shift power more toward empowering individuals online.
El documento discute las teorías sobre las causas de la destrucción de las Torres Gemelas el 11 de septiembre de 2001.

Miles de personas murieron ese día y muchas más resultaron física y emocionalmente afectadas de por vida. El documento expresa el deseo de que algún día se conozca la verdad completa sobre lo ocurrido.
