<0> we got hit with AMT one year and it really ****ed, it canceled all our noormal deductions
<1> Well, after you're doing figuring out if you've earned capital gains from a non-limited more than 50% canadian owned film venture I suppose canadian taxes are eaiser
<2> heh
<1> 90% of peoples' taxes are straight forward
<2> wish me headache would go away
<0> not when you have stock options and mortgages and stuff
<1> but if you have even a slightly complicated situation its a pain in the ***
<2> yikes. rumor of cisco buying tiv
<2> o
<1> Like I write off interest on money borrowed to earn investment income, but it isn't that straight forward, you have to carry forward those amounts if you don't have income to off-set them against
<2> hmm. didn't know cisco bought scientific atlanta
<0> tivo may have pioneered DVR, but its becoming a commodity thing embedded in cable and satellite boxes, they don't have enough unique IP to hang onto significant market share
<1> I think symantec actually owns every other software compnay out there, we just don't know it
<1> :)
<0> hell, there are tv sets with embedded DVRs' now
<3> govt pisses me off. I pay taxes on money I earn, but I can't deduct my expenses (e.g., gas to drive to work). Also, if I make lots of money on investments I pay taxes on it all, but if i lose money I can only deduct up to $3000 per year. Its stacked against us.
<1> yup
<1> The rules are incredibly unfair for married people here... like if we have child care deductions, they automatically come off the spouses income with the lower income
<1> certain income is automatically added to the person with the higher income
<3> NOw that conservatives rule Canada it wil prolly get better.
<1> I doubt it
<1> gov't tends not to change things like that
<1> but, they are lowering the GST by a WHOLE ONE PERCENT!
<1> wow
<1> when I buy my new dishwasher I'll save $5!
<3> lol
<1> I'll pump that right back into the economy!
<3> is gst the same as sales tax?
<1> admittedly, it all adds up, but personally I think most people will bank any savings
<1> very little of it will get back into the economy
<1> I have debt to pay off
<1> that's where any extra income goes
<1> not to buy more stuff
<1> and paying down debt doesn't stimulate the economy
<3> I need to invest in some good stocks. Is ebay or amazon going to do well this year?
<1> yes
<3> amazon down 20% this week on high expenses.
<4> i would have bought google 2 days ago
<4> when it dropped
<3> why not buy it monday?
<4> i think it rebounded already
<4> and it's 300+ a share :P
<2> jet :)
<0> I'd invest in the energy sector. services, transportation, that sort of thing
<1> I have $32,000 in my company's stock
<3> no, google dropped another $15 friday
<1> can anyone say Erron?
<2> no
<2> but we can say enron
<1> ya
<1> that too
<2> anyone have a bagless vacuum cleaner? do they rock?
<3> I think Microsoft will hit $30 by end of year
<4> not all
<1> Barsky: our downstairs roomie has one, Anita says its okay, but I think it'd be dusty and messy to clean
<2> can't see it being anymore dusty than when you pull that full bag off.
<2> but never running out of bags like I always do it very appealing
<3> did anyone get hit by kama sutra worm?
<0> yeah, they **** to clean out. but we have an electrolux which is really neat, nothing comoes out of the bag.
<2> I've never bought a vacuum cleaner. I always inherit them
<1> we have central vac, cleaning the canister is a messy ****ing job
<0> and you have to replace the HEPA filter in those bagless every so often
<2> I'll bet.
<1> Maybe you're supposed to line it with something
<1> but it wasn't when we moved in, and I think any plastic would melt from the heat
<2> so you have the hole outlets in the wall and the big dealio in the basement or garage or something?
<0> Jet; put a trash bag in it.
<1> one hole upstairs, one down
<1> a 50' hose
<2> my brother had that in the old house. got over it in the newer one
<1> personally, I don't lik eit
<1> dragging a 50' hose around is not fun
<2> I suspect they didn't
<4> i dunnoi
<4> i'd like it
<2> well, I may buy this bagless windtunnel (hoover) at costco. cheaper than I can find it on the net
<2> well the idea of it sounds great. guess less so in use
<1> I dunno how expensive vacuums are supposed to be
<1> I've seen lots of $100-$150 ones
<1> uprights
<2> this one is moderate. think about $140
<4> i hear dysons are good
<1> I'd imagine they'd be fine
<2> but man, the dyson they had is like $450
<2> **** that. too expensive
<4> yeah
<2> I'm looking at this one
<2> http://www.hoover.com/db/xq/asp.hvrProductMain/prodid.139/SubID.1/ModID.1975/qx/WindTunnelBaglessUpright.htm
<1> ya, you can spend like $800
<1> then again, you can spend $1200 on a dishwasher
<2> they had a couple levels up too. one had self propelled :)
<1> and I doubt you get 3X the dishwasher
<2> even more than that on the dishwasher.
<2> when I was shopping my new appliances I found it scary
<5> guys can anyone point me to a bootable cd-rom with fdisk? i've been searhcing for hours now
<1> Barsky: I think that's the one Bruce downstairs has
<0> jig`; what OS are you running?
<2> do I need a stainless steel inside to a dishwasher? plastic seems fine
<1> then again, maybe they all look alike
<5> none peerce
<0> what OS are you going to install?
<1> Barsky: ya, I know what you mean
<2> the models seem to be diff colors. is his brownish beige?
<5> win2k3
<1> my parents gave us money for a new dishwasher
<1> we have yet to start shopping
<1> cause it frightens me
<6> jesus
<1> buying the washer and dryer, I did research online
<0> just boot the win2003 CD, it will partition for you
<2> for me it was the controls/silverware holders and such that counted
<1> found the model at the price with the features I wanted
<6> thank god i drink
<2> and it being stainless outside
<1> went in and bought it
<5> peerce, it cant remove swap partitions, can it
<4> Barsky, stainless inside?
<0> why would you use a MSDOS tool to format for 2003 server?!?
<4> i've never seen that
<1> Gimp-Cow: ya, some have that
<0> jig`; I dont see why not.
<2> noo
<1> the high-end ones
<4> that would be pimp
<2> oh, you mean in general?
<2> yeah. the expensive ones are stainless inside
<1> mostly they're painted metal, no?
<2> white plastic
<1> or baked on enamel
<1> oh
<5> peerce> why do i get the msg "Error while loading OS" when the Win2k3 installer finishes and reboots? (i had suse on it before, didnt uninstall that)
<1> that might be noisy
<4> it's easier to make dyed plastic
<2> no
<1> I think the ones I've been looking at are baked on enamel
<1> like a baked on paint job
<1> dunno really
<1> haven't looked that seriously yet
<2> when I was shopping I can't recall anything in metal insides that wasn't stainless
<1> hm
<0> jig`; I dunno, but I doubt thats anything FDISK would fix. you wanna clear the disk, boot a linux rescue cd, and use `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1024`
<1> well, like I said, have hardly looked
<1> we have to do that
<2> perhaps you haven't looked since the 60s ;)
<1> maybe when the household isn't all sick
<0> that will zero the first 1000 sectors, which makes it look like a virgin disk
<5> peerce, could you point me to an img of such a cd
<2> oh yeah. I know why the more expensive vacuum like what I am interested in didn't interest me...it was bagless or bag
<2> if I am going bagless, bagless it is
<0> your suse CD 1 will work
<5> i borrowed those :(
