    Your quote of a federal tax burden of 18% for 170K is wrong it is closer to about 28%.

  2. Re:God Bless The Laywers on SCO Puts a Cap on its Legal Expenses · · Score: 1

    You would have had to own the stock before they made their extremely public lawsuits. If you bought the stock now, knowing the sco business plan I don't think you would find your law suit gets anywhere.

  3. Re:Iriver on How to Get Music Off Your iPod · · Score: 1

    I have teh iriver h140 and it is just a hard drive as far as getting music on and off. The only special software on my comupteer is software to build the index files for moving through the music based on the tag files.

  4. Re:Overkill on 32-bit Processors, Cheap · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is not correct. That assumes that the 8 bit and 32 bit processors take the same die area. I would think that the 8 bit processor would take less die area and would be cheaper to manufacture.

  8. Re:Good? on Online Poker Bots Becoming Problematic? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well black jack is different than poker. In poker you are not taking the casino's money you are taking the other players money. It is a problem for the online casinos only if nobody plays because it is to hard.

  11. Re:Bad Science Fiction on A Sound of Thunder · · Score: 1

    Getting input from a variety of people with differening opions and coming up with a product that satisfies all concerned is hard. It is just easier to organize if you have one less opinionated person in the mix.
