This is slightly off topic, but even if callers block their ID, you can trace the call( at least in my area, Northern Virginia). I can't remember the key combinations on the phone pad, but the phone company will tell you if you call them. In short, what this combination does will save a trace of the last call you received. The phone company is required to keep this information for a short period of time ( 30 to 90 days maybe?), but the kicker is they need a subpeona to release it, and it costs a couple of dollars. So if you really want to find out who keeps calling you and have legal proof, you can.
Thanks, That might be just what I need to get me by for the beginning of the next year. I am running Quickbooks 99 (it does all I need and more) and don't see the option directly, but will search around.
I am switching Quickbooks after I send out W2's this year for very similar reasons. Quickbooks will stop allowing you to do payroll if the TaxTables get too out of date. This normally wouldn't bother me, but they offer absolutely no way (that I know of) to manually enter the tax data, the payroll functionality get killed.
To get the new TaxTables, they have really upped their subscription price to more than I think is reasonable. Also, they periodically force an update to the Quickbooks software to be able to use the new TaxTables format. So, for me to keep using Quickbooks, I would have to pay for a new (higher) TaxTable subscription and also update to a new version, which I can't justify.
I have looked at PeachTree, and it seems very usable. It's Tax Table like subscription is about the same as Intuits (around $150), but they do allow you to manually enter details if you need to.
I hate to see Inuit stoop to this, I really like their product. I used Quickbooks at version 5, and liked it. (I don't need any features now that version 5 didn't have). I just can't justify them doing these kind of things to customers, though.
It wasn't a trial by Jury. A judge decided the case. She (the judge) convicted him based on the testimony of an out of town, off duty, police officer that could only say he saw him point in a certain direction before a lot of people moved in that direction. As someone who has been on the wrong side a police fudging information, I hate to see this kind of thing. Just think how many cops would be in jail if all it took was a citizen or two testifying against them to put them in jail.
Rambus was given the opportunity to defend why they withdrew their case so quickly after the judge in question was assigned. If the judge acts too biased during the case, he gives Rambus all sort of lead way to appeal. I think it is fitting that he hear the next case. If Rambus really wasn't judge shopping, they shouldn't care. I would agree that what the judge said seemed a little biased if Rambus didn't have a chance to explain why they withdrew the case. Pressing charges like that and then withdrawing them and wanting to sue later is just wrong, and that kind of action is what is causing all the focus on frivolous law suits these days.
