I use H&R Block TaxCut (going on 15 years). Costs about 39.99 a year for both my business and personal. Just keep an eye open for when it goes on sale (retail is 89.99 I believe). I even dropped Quickbooks after their shit 2011 "up

Lol, no. It's mostly just an amalgamation of all the technologies and stupid fucking interview questions that you get. I have 10-12 different documents. CS/OO (basics for reminders with some simple algorithms), .Net, SQL (I alway

I had a 800+ page study guide while living in SF for the ridiculous technical interviews they'd put you through. Then you'd see their code base and realize they've never actually done anything that would remotely resemble bes

My mother in law is in this therapy right now. The doctors were surprised it isn't working (prior chemo worked pretty well giving her another year of life, once it stopped they switched her to this treatment). They're looking at h

Archiving isn't a one and done. Anyone that sells a single solution and doesn't have it including costs for migration over time have never dealt with data for very long or don't have any foresight at all.

From my understanding it's not the learning that's easier, it's the fact that the brain tunes itself to the local languages by a certain (early) age. I'd love to learn tonal languages but I have an extraordinarily hard t

Being bilingual helped me understand English grammar in a way I wouldn't have otherwise. It also helped my writing skills immensely (IMO). Taking college junior/senior level French literature classes was extraordinarily difficult

You can't concealed carry if you're in a bar either, or if you're intoxicated. There are tons of laws around guns. So if you're a "smart" drug trafficker, you'll forego the weapons. Distributing drugs does

Separation of work and personal is key IMO. I thought I'd like working at home, as it turns out I didn't at all because once you're working at home, it's hard to draw the line. I learned it well working for myself. After

Really? Because you can select it through ACA without talking to as single person. But, it's SOOOOO complicated you need a license to sell it. Cars are complicated too, why don't their salespeople need a license?

The Ira quote reminds me of my opinion on startups, fail early and fail often. Maybe you'll get lucky and one won't fail. Failure is all in how you define it though.

My wife loves her MS Band (almost made her want to get a MS Phone). I would get her the Band 2 but they just gave her a new original Band under warranty, so no rush (maybe I'll take the old one, I do have an MS phone).
