  1. Another possibility... on Has My Cell Number Been Cloned? · · Score: 1

    Your future self may be using the phone after the discovery of time travel. You need to get a patent!

  2. Isn't blue light a side-effect of Viagra? on Mysterious Stars Surround Andromeda's Black Hole · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Subject said it all... but since a comment is required, here it is.

  3. NY/NJ on New York Court Says Telecommuters Must Pay NY Tax · · Score: 1

    Up until this ruling, if you work in NY & live in NY, you pay NY tax, and get a credit for NY tax paid on your NJ return. Typically, since NY tax is higher, you don't pay NJ at all. However, the NY non-resident return has a section to fill out to pro-rate taxes based on the days actually worked in NY. So people who work some days in NY and some in NJ for a NY employer can save a little by accounting for this. Now with this new ruling (if it stands) it seems that it doesn't matter where one physically works - just that you're paid for a NY job. Unanswered is what happens when the company involved has presence in states other than NY. I would assume that if the company has an office in NJ the NY ruling could not possibly apply - who are they to say that it's NY income at that point? Just another reason the ruling makes no sense.

  5. Re:The FCC should revoke local license over this on Echostar/Dish Network Pulls Viacom Channels · · Score: 1

    There are many people in this country who live beyond the range of "rabbit ears." I can't get reception over-the-air. My options are Dish, DirecTV or Cablevision.

  6. The FCC should revoke local license over this on Echostar/Dish Network Pulls Viacom Channels · · Score: 1

    Viacom's packaging of channels is reasonable for the non-broadcast stations, but using the CBS locals as leverage violates the spirit, if not the letter of their broadcast license. If you want MTV, leave dish, but if you want CBS, then complain to the FCC and your elected officials. WHos to say it won't be a cable network, or DirecTV when their contract is up.

  7. Update - No more WCBS in the NY market... on Viacom and DishNetwork Battle On Air Over Contract · · Score: 1

    Woke up this morning to Charlie on what was WCBS explaining that Viacom pulled the CBS local station feed into Dish. Time to make some calls to my elected officials.

  8. Instead of (or in addition to) complaining... on Microsoft Seeks Patent On Virtual Desktop Pager · · Score: 1

    How about people submit the prior art references to the USPTO? There is an explanation of the procedure at the USPTO site (PDF)here
