  1. Re:Try the Quicken web thing on Tax Software for Linux? · · Score: 1

    Maybe (if you feel like it), try again this tax year, and start early!

    It's possible you can get the same change in TurboTax.com that should be occuring over at Fox.com about now.

    It doesn't make sense for them (Inuit) to 'block' a potential revenue stream.

    Good luck.

  2. Try the Quicken web thing on Tax Software for Linux? · · Score: 2

    Last year we (wife and I) did our taxes via the online Quicken Tax. It worked great, and explained a lot of the really hard things quite nicely.

    Though we did it using IE on a Win95 machine, I don't recall there being any ActiveX controls, maybe a little Java/JavaScripting, and Cookies too (I think)...

  3. Check out the OneForAll on The Do-It-All Remote? · · Score: 1

    We have JVC CD, JVC Dual Cassette Tape Deck, JVC Stereo Receiver, Two JVC VCRs, Hughts DirecTV DSS, and a Sharp TV.

    Our one remote (www.oneforall.com) is handling just about everything we need. I never need to use anything else, though my wife does a lot of recording with the tape decks, and there are some features we haven't programmed.

    It basically handles AMP, TUN, TV, CBL, CD, VCR, SAL, AUX1, & Home Theater. Those are dedicated buttons, the rest handle the various features.

    I highly recommend it. We use a standard IR version, but there's also a radio version.

    The one we have, model URC-8080B00 is top notch. It cost about $90 USD at Best Buy, about 2 years ago. It's been dropped, slammed, sat on, you name it (we have a 4.5 year old boy ).

    Just about all the buttons are reprogramable, and you can program "macros", though I didn't see the point...I don't mind pressing a few buttons in the right sequence.

    I can't recommend this product enough.

  4. 120,000 = 119921? on Linux Counter Hits 120,000 · · Score: 1

    What am I missing here?

    I just visited the site and it said:

    "At Sat Oct 23 16:30:03 1999 GMT, there are
    119921 users."

    Did people read the message on /. and quickly unsubscribe? Or is this another example of "new math" at work?
