It would also seem possible to write code that requires the system to wait, say five seconds, before another attempt at a correct password may be made, thus making a dictionary attack impossibly long. Pre OS X Apple servers would double the delay time each time you entered an incorrect

Not having the full table, I can't answer the question definitively, but from what you have there, it looks like Maryland is rounding up any fraction of a penny whatsoever. (Quickbooks probably rounds to the nearest penny.) I don't know what formula syntax Quickbooks may use, but in Excel

If you are going to take that position then you would not be digitizing from anything less than the original master recording. So as I said before: is this being done for a personal music collection or for the Smithsonian? I thought I was discussing playback of material all ready in the
