I tried TaxAct last year per the many recommendations of alternatives to TurboTax post on/. last tax season.
I tested just about everything, and even sent an email to support to see the response and it was very quick and responsive.
Won't be going back to TurboTax or Intuit for that matter, since they also crippled QuickBooks if you remember. When's their apology for that one coming?
In most states, you do have to pay sales tax for business. Dell doesn't charge state sales tax if you are in a state that does not have sales tax - like Oregon, or if you buy from the home division directly on the Internet. If you call your order in, and live in a state with sales tax, then they will charge it whether for home or business.
This site has the details between home and business.
Not sure why there is a warning about making the Lava Lamps for profit because of patents. At least in the US, both patents listed in the disclaimer are expired. 25 years is the maximum protection.
I went to a RH Enterprise marketing gig a couple of weeks ago, and they are promising binary compatibility between their upcoming 3.0 Enterprise versions and backwards.
Remains to be seen how well they come to accomplishing those promises, especially since they are saying 3.0 will have NPTL.
I believe you can provide only partial source, and in some cases only binary (i.e. a working install CD) to do to obtain a "registered" copyright. As long as your copyright notice is visible and you can demonstrate the art with what you submit.
By submitting to the copyright office, you get guaranteed protection if you win a copyright violation lawsuit. This guarantees you a certain dollar amount (I think $25K) per violation. Which in the case of the RIAA they call every download of their music on a P2P network a violation so it adds up quick.
So in essense, obtaining a registered copyright does not guarantee that you will ever win a case, but if you do win then you get a lot more money.
I could submit the entire Linux kernel source to have it registered at the Copyright office, and they do nothing to check it's originality or authenticity. But if I ever tried to take any kernel developers to court, I would never win the case -- and I could probably be counter-sued for fraud in removing the copyright notice.
Lawyers, please correct me if I'm wrong here.

I've been using Mozilla forever, and it is a hard habit to break typing directly into the URL field, then up-arrow and enter to auto-google search. Up-arrow bypasses history in the drop-down.
I could switch to keywords, because I use them for other things -- but it's going to take some serious finger retraining.
Maybe it was more than the "four" lines, and possibly the evil HTTP Header:

Actually, ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2.
In essence, ext3 is ext2 with a.journal file for journalling. You can mount an ext3 volume as an ext2, but you loose journaling.
I've only read the first one, but it is excellent. It goes deep into Normalizing data, tells you how to optimize queries to minimize table scans, and goes in depth to how to get the most out of SQL.
It was based more on SQL-89 standard at the time and aluded to SQL-92 changes, which this is probably where the new one picks up.
Jini[tm] network technology is an open architecture that enables developers to create network-centric services -- whether implemented in hardware or software -- that are highly adaptive to change. Jini technology can be used to build adaptive networks that are scalable, evolvable and flexible as typically required in dynamic computing environments.
I've been using Mozilla for over 2 years, and have been happy ever since. The innovation and dedication of this project is mind-blowing, and just goes to show what powerful things can be created when we all work together.
Great work team moz.
I think the old saying Rome wasn't built in a day, should now be changed to Mozilla wasn't built in a day.

Look at the HTML source. Around the results for the Candle Truck, they start several tables that never get closed, including the TR's and TD's.

But then you get charged sales tax. Consumer products bought online are not taxed.

Try using some of the nautilus scripts that you can find here: http://g-scripts.sourceforge.net/
Makes things a lot easier.
I 100% agree on this.

Funny the specifications at the bottom of the tigerdirect page say 400MHz XScale processor but the SL-5500 should be 206MHz StrongARM. Bait & Switch.
I always heard Microsoft compiles on FreeBSD for their "Gold" production releases so that they don't send out programs with viruses.

University of Virginia's eBook Library for the MS Reader
my ntoskrnl.exe is 1.8MB
That won't fit on a floppy. See Coyote Linux.

I thought that's what Sun's Jini network technology was for.

Someone at the table next to us at the Oasis in Austin was smart enough to bring welding goggles. You could see everything perfectly.

I think that's what the 'make' command is for.
./configure; make; make install. ;)
Good point, but make won't go to the united linux website, grab the source, resolve all dependencies, and then run
From the (now /.'d) Linux and Main article: the companies will allow source to be downloaded, but not binaries.
Isn't that what the `emerge united-linux` command will be for?
I guess Gentoo Linux becomes more and more important everyday.
All of these companies except Citigroup are under SEC and 30 state investigation for fraud and insider trading. Merrill Lynch just bought their way out of a crime. This is current news from the last two weeks.
Are these companies going to add their names to the database of criminials and suspicious activity?
