  1. Re:But tax brackets don't work like that... on The Softening of a Software Man · · Score: 1

    Not true.

    The tax brackets are not a straight percentage of what you earn.

    The guy who is making $28000 a year really pays 10% of the first $7,550 + 15% of the amount between $7,550 and $28,000 for a total of $3822.

    The guy making $32000 pays 10% of the first $7,550 + 15% of the amount between $7,550 and $30,650 + 25% of the amount between $30,650 and $32,000 and for a total of $4557.

    (Note: numbers have been rounded to the dollar)

  2. Re:Pricing on Just Say No to Microsoft · · Score: 4, Informative

    I don't know where you buy your software at, but the standard pricing is:

    Windows Home Upgrade: $100

    Windows Home: $200

    Windows Pro Upgrade: $200

    Windows Pro: $300

    Office Standard: $400

    Office Standard Upgrade: $240

    These were the prices that Best Buy reports on their web page and the prices that I have seen elsewhere as well. The student and teacher edition of Office is $150.

    I prefer this comparison of OS versions to women.

    You should know better than to use phrases like this on slashdot. You had me all excited for a moment.

    It's not the size of the disk that matters, but it is what is contained in the disk.

  6. Re:Sigh.... on Vehicle for Cockroaches · · Score: 1

    Now we need a Beowulf cluster of vehicles running Linux and driven by old Korean cockroaches in soviet Russia.

    Did I miss anything?

  7. Re:Impressive? on Linux-Based Phone Lasts 200 Hours on Standby · · Score: 1

    Yes, but could you just imagine a beowulf cluster of these.

  8. Re:Well on Indian Call Centre Worker Sells Customer Details · · Score: 1, Informative

    There is not just the expectation that tips will make a difference. It is required that they earn the regular minimum wage of $5.15/hr after tips or the employer must make up the difference.

  9. Slashdot command on Command Line for the Web · · Score: 1, Funny

    Unfortunately the slashdot command only searches slashdot. It would be much more accurate if this command would bring nearly any web server to a screeching halt.

  10. Re:Star messanger source code on GPL Violations of Miranda IM · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now that they have released their source, you can create a patch that uses CreateProcess instead. See how beneficial open source is to developers.

  11. Re:Zooom RIGHT out on Google Maps Now Cover Whole World · · Score: 0

    Yeah, look at this image, they have even almost doubled the amount of land mass from any other maps I have seen.

    Google Rocks.

  12. Re:Here we go... on Nanotech Protests Begin · · Score: 1, Funny

    But what about the white goo that these protesters may cause when they get too close to slashdotters?

  13. Re:Whats so bad about this? on Nanotech Protests Begin · · Score: 0

    Yeah, I definitely should have RTFA before I posted.

  14. Whats so bad about this? on Nanotech Protests Begin · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm going to start wearing nanotech all the time if it draws protesters like these.

    How did you manage to get that far? I stopped after about the the 15th line of the first sentence.
