I just buy one copy of TurboTax Home and Business each year and then everyone in my family uses it one at a time and free Federal efile. My parents both have different LLCs, I have a business, my sister has a business. We print and mail sta

This is Google though. It would seem that they could update Googlebot to penalize bypassing behaviors, lowering SERPS for any property that did such shenanigans. Or giving users in Chrome a Report Button that then filtered into site ranking

I have had a mini split system in my basement for 5 years and I am the only one I know who has one. They are around enough that Home Depot carries them and yet rare enough that many HVAC contractors do not have experience with them. It was

While light pollution is a problem, with lasers and adaptive optics observations can be made. From the article: "The solution is lasers. Lick’s Shane telescope wields an adaptive optics system, which fires a beam into the atmosphere. “

I honestly thought of doing a blog post where I take these words and replace email with Slack. I have issues with email that my PM is trying hard to get me to delegate more to her and others so I can focus on the higher value work. Slack I

I thought the exact same thing! And this GemRB is not Ruby related at all. On a side note, similar names abound in Ruby land! Only with a recent pull request merged for typo squatting protection is it that rubygems.org will stop someone fro

This was exactly me in Oakland, CA, last year when on a business trip from Atlanta. On the way to the hotel, I was on a shuttle with a pilots and flight crew heading to stay overnight. Was advised not to go walking around by myself. Ended u

I can attest to the same. I've signed security contracts with government agencies by taking their PDF, opening in in Apple Preview and attaching image of my signature, and sending back. Same with Xournal in Linux. This is how real worl

PDFs also serve as a decent interchange format for dropping "signatures" onto a document. These are acceptable in court and in a format that regular business people understand. This is important for digitized contracts that can th

I disagree that my statement was off topic. The author in summary states that PDF is "unfit for digital-content display". I gave a specific counter example of a type of regularly reviewed digital content that is beneficial to arch

I have to admit, after a decade of tablets, I am back to printing some PDFS, reading, making notes, and scanning back if I want. It's actually cheaper than continually upgrading the iPad ;-p I still have the tablet but its not my first

PDF is the ultimate WYSIWYG print substitute format. My mom in her 70s can create PDFs from OpenOffice/LibreOffice without much hassle. Ask her to create a web site of any type is going to be a problem. Now imagine the tons of business

Another massive halo for Best Buy in my opinion is their eWaste recycling program. Who else lets you take old gear, even big things like printers, and drop off to be responsibly recycled. It is crazy convenient and gives me a reason to shop
