  1. Re:Give it away and it is not yours on Silicon Valley Billionaire Takes Out $201 Million Life Insurance Policy · · Score: 1

    Income should be taxed. But why as an exit from an estate? Either its a W2 (or 1099 or some such IRS monster) or its not income. I wasn't saying income isn't taxed. But this is posting about estate tax. Yes tax income, even inherited money. That should have nothing to do with my bequeathment. If I leave my plumbing business to my son, its unrealized gain. When he takes a salary or disbursement (or sells the business), then its income and should be taxed.

    Seems there are two camps on here.

    1. Anti IRS gobbling machine (my camp)

    2. Anti 1%, even if it might help some 80%. Fuck the 1%

    Not that I am in the habit of advocating for the mega rich, but a $5M business is not that mighty big. A business of that size isn't paying out Ferrari's to a anyone's kid. That is not the same as $5M cash. Yet the business will have to be sold off to pay for an estate tax. Assuming you can find a buyer. Anyone selling a house the last 5 years should know just cause it appraised a certain amount, doesn't translate to having a buyer for it at that price.

    You and the OP are still seeing the wrong side of this.... Why is there an estate tax of 45% upon anyone's death!!! That income has been taxed already. Bequeathment is not a fucking INCOME issue.

    Must be nice to just pick what you want to remember as facts.

    I'll go slow.

    The Civil War was about State Rights, not slavery.

    Bill Clinton was impeached for perjury on oath to a Grand Jury, not a blow job witch hunt.

    Did you catch those facts? A sitting President lied under oath to a court proceeding.

    I think Bill did a better job than the bozo in office now. But no one is above the law.

  18. Re:Not a rootkit on BioShock Installs a Rootkit · · Score: 1
    First I agree. I can not abide condoning corporations that shovel utter crap to customers, just because they can.

    BUT after doing a proper uninstall I can find no trace of SecuROM that the TFA talks about. I just ran the Microsoft Rootkit Reveler and besides some issue with my Anti-virus API and default MS entries, I have nothing.
    I unregistered cmdlineext.dll as you suggested, and rebooted, but I still can not find these "irremovable SecuROM" files. So either I got rooted for sure, or there is a whole lot of smoke here and nothing else.

    I reread the TFA and the blogger does not link to the Bioshock forum where this issue was first addressed:

    Unfortunately, you may have to follow this lengthly procedure posted by a 2K forum member to remove the service installed by SecuROM (Thanks Wingsong):
    It seems to me that the Demo removes SecuROM. I am not one to freaking side with a corporation but...I dont see the issue if it gets removed when I remove the game. Can anyone else valid me...or hell invalid date me?

    Did you have the full game or Demo? I have the Demo installed (or did until 5 minutes ago) and I can not find the SecuROM directory your talking about in %userprofile%\Application Data\ I did find %userprofile%\Application Data\Bioshock, but had nothing related to SecuROM (that I could tell anyways). Funny thing is I also have NWN2 and according to your post I should have had a SecuROM directory for that game. Was there a path typo in your post?
