  1. pchdtv on Digital TV Foreshadows Erosion of Net Rights · · Score: 1

    Why not build your own set top box using video capture cards that *do not* respect the broadcast flag? Ala http://www.pchdtv.com/ Outputting from your set top box via dvi/hdmi cable would not be an issue. Granted, my mother would not be able to build her own set top box and install mythtv, but I think the majority of the readers here could.

  2. Spread Sheet Alternative on Open Source Federal Income Tax Software · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not quite open source. But free as in beer.

    I've been using this guy's spread sheet for the past three years. Labled as 'Excel' but I've actually used it in Open Office. Prints nice.

    This year I should donate a few dollars to his paypal account. If I get a refund of course.

  3. BooYahoo on Yahoo! Bans "Allah" in Screen Names · · Score: 1

    Ok, I'm so done with yahoo now. Nicholas D. Kristof wrote a great piece in the New York Times today. He gave a plug to http://www.booyahoo.blogspot.com/. Come on people, I know we can slashdot this site...

  4. Here's a good Spreadsheet on Open Source Tax Products? · · Score: 1

    I've used this for the past two years, and I think it's great. http://home.mchsi.com/~taxcalculator/ And yes, I've successfully used and printed this from Open Office. I didn't like Turbo tax because it was tough to play those "what if" scenarios. Like, what if I had made 100 dollars more than I did, or had 12 more kids, etc...
