Open Source Tax Products?
sub7 asks: "That time of the year is upon as again: Tax Season. Those of us living in the U.S. are busy fumbling with various forms with awkward names and meaningless garble on them. Being a lazy BOFH, I went to H & R Block to see how much it would cost for them to prepare and file my taxes. They estimated -at least- $175, if not more! I knew it was cheaper to buy some software to handle my taxes. So I headed down to my local office supply conglomerate and picked up Turbo Tax 2004 Premier for $69.99. Being an OSS user for nearly 6 years I have never even considered an OSS tax solution product (probably because I ph34r t4x s34s0n!). So I turn to Slashdot to ask: Are there any projects equivalent to Turbo Tax or the other tax products out there for the OSS community?"
THE FREAK MUST PAY!!!
Heh. Don't tell me you don't enjoy seeing a millionaire celebrity, who also happens to be a colossal FREAK, getting sued and most likely locked up with guys who don't appreciate child molesters that much...
not necessarily more interesting, but more relevant to the conversation. And besides, you don't see much interest in any other child molestation trials, just because this guy is a celebrity doesn't mean that his trial is any more important. Are we going to post on slashdot every time that a bench warrant is issued?

Uh. That's exactly the point. It is more important, because people -- myself included -- love to see famous and rich people getting screwed (O.J., Martha Stewart, ...).
