USA Green Printers

Has anyone here used or know of some good environmentally aware printers for any of their projects? They don't have to only do green printing but I need to find someone knowledgeable on the subject and who offers some green services.

The original Microsoft 'family'

"In 1978, when Microsoft was three years old and based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, there were only a dozen people working for the company - compared with the current number of almost 90,000 employees worldwide."

Global Warming

"We're toast if we don't get on a very different path," Hansen, director of the Goddard Institute of Space Sciences who is sometimes called the godfather of global warming science, told The Associated Press. "This is the last chance."

Creative Office Space

I'm looking for our first office this summer and I wanted to see if anyone has found a space that isn't a "typical" office type space and made it into a studio etc. Pictures, ideas, thoughts etc. I have found 2 spaces, one is actually over top of an automotive business. It's really open and the rent is cheap because of the garage below. I've thought about looking into it more just for the shear fact we don't have to worry about being to "loud".

Using Quotes Legal?

We're doing a design right now that we'd like to use quotes no to drive home the idea of bravery. The client loves it, however, we have just considered the legal question.

If we use a quote by John Doe on their website, is that legal? We're using their words to promote something. Also, is there a difference if it's a living person in the same vertical (say an athlete and a football product website) and a deceased person like Benjamin Franklin?

Any ides where I can get more information on this? I'm obviously not using the right keywords in Google.

Font Weights + Flash

I still have never gotten a real answer to this question in the last 10 years so I'm asking again on as many forums as possible.

Why is it that with most OT format fonts, I have 100 weights show up in Illustrator and Photoshop but I only get a very small fraction of them to show up in Flash. It's killing me that we can't get this to work in Flash on our latest project. We really need some of the weights we mocked with and it's just not happening at the moment.

Does anyone know why this is and does anyone have a solution other than creating font outlined vectors and importing the text as art. We need this to work dynamically for news etc.

US Taxes & UK Work

I have a potential project coming at me from the UK. I've got no idea how taxes here in the US work with international income. Has anyone had any experience in the US with international work?

Multi-Screen Flash

Does anyone remember seeing a blog post or article a bit back with a few people playing around with Flash projectors running over the course of multiple displays? I'm not talking about 2 or 3 but like say 10 projectors etc. I can't remember where I saw it. Else if you know of any good sources for developing graphics for display like this feel free to drop it like it's hot. THX

php developer

you+we is seeking a freelance PHP web developer. We currently have several projects coming up this fall and need help with database integration and CMS systems. We'd prefer a full time freelancer but moonlighting is acceptable. The right candidate and work ethic will potentially lead to a full time position if desired.

Please send resumes and sample links by email to: info [at] youpluswe [dot] com.

5 Day Weekend

Support the 5 Day Weekend

http://www.fivedayweekend.org

While this is "funny" and it will never happen, most of the facts in the about section are true. Most everyone here I would venture to say puts in more than 40 hours a week.. whether it's a day job at 50 or it's you doing extra freelance after hours, we all work to much. Interesting and entertaining if nothing else.

Freelance AS Gurus Needed

I need to forge some relationships with other highly skilled ActionScripters ASAP. I have tons of work coming in and need to meet some other high end Flash scripters.

Please don't spam the hell out of me with your resumes if you aren't freelancing full time. I can't dell with moonlighters. No offense, I did it for 8 years, but I need someone that is on their own right now.

Please don't email me if you're looking to catch a break, looking to hook up and learn or a designer who can do a little scripting. I'll raise the BS flag over IM quicker than you can type an emoticon. You need to be ace all around.
