  1. Using TaxCut since TurboTax requires admin to run on What Tax Software Do You Use? · · Score: 1

    A few years ago, TurboTax started requiring admin rights on Windows to run, not just install. When I talked to a TurboTax tech support manager, he claimed the IRS "requires" it run with admin rights. Not trusting Intuit that much, I returned the SW to Costco. It is also interesting to note that TaxCut has never required admin rights. TaxCut works ok, but the interface seems clunky compared to my memory of TurboTax.

  2. Re:Perpetual motion machine alert! on Fuelless Flight with Air Submarine? · · Score: 1

    Exactly correct. Using compressed air to compress more air - you will end up with less compressed air than you started.

    Anybody remember the old Dr Matrix perpetual motion machine in Scientific American. It was a vertical belt loop with "9"s on it. On one side they would be the 9s and the other 6s. Since 9 > 6 the nines would go down and the sixes would go up.
