You also get tax breaks for the marriage thing
Standard deduction, single: $6300
Standard deduction, married filing jointly: $12600
The only tax break you get is if your wife is a stay-at-home mom where you can double your tax deduction. Of course, then she runs the risk of losing all her credits etc from having no income.
if you have kids, you get those breaks too
You get those breaks as a single parent too.
After being in "Offline" mode all day yesterday, who knows what's going on today.
I expect that what's happening is that Dice has given slashdot a budget of $0 and expects it to crawl into a corner and die on its own.
Come on, folks, let's cheer with the AC "We're number one better than China! We're number one better than China!"

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Remember that next time you talk to a cop and they don't feel you were "concerned" enough about the situation and use that fact against you in a court of law: http://reason.com/blog/2014/08...
The retroactive immunity came much later.
nothing you can't have in perl today, with a relational database, and a table or two to track relationships between objects.
Sure, and there have been written entire books and essays and algorithms on how to get your relational database to store and return a hierarchy. It reminds me of those highschool programming challenges where you implement a binary tree in a single array because why the fuck not?
But instead, it's a whole new opportunity to create problems!
Every language invented in the 60's was a whole new opportunity to create problems. The problem now is continuing to use it without fixing the problems. Even PHP has made improvements to the language.
Nope, right on time and everything starts freezing again.
because the choice is between Government enslavement and anarchy.
You seem to believe the choice is between ignoring laws because it suits you and ignoring laws because it suits me. The third option, which respects the rule of law: working within the framework of government to change the laws.
As you pick and choose what laws you think you should bother to follow, keep in mind that whatever moral high ground you claim to possess that gives you this power will also be claimed by others.
Disk Defragmenter service is set to manual. I've disabled the SuperFetch service, we'll see what happens tomorrow.
What makes it intrinsically illegal?
What makes defeating Macrovision Copy Protection to copy your wedding tape from VHS to DVD intrinsically illegal?
Just because there is a law?
"Our great Republic is a government of laws, and not of men"
Strange world view.
So's anarchy.
Every day at about 10:45 AM central my Windows 7 computer at the office grinds to a halt, and trying to use the computer is an exercise in absolute frustration. Windows are slow to gain focus, tabs don't change, even typing has a delay that I haven't seen since typing on a BBS with a 300 baud modem decades ago. The weirdest part is that when I try to alt tab to a different application during this, the window I'm trying to get to will actually completely disappear (showing the desktop undern
If other judges follow this precedent, it will be the death knell of civil litigation involving the internet in any way. I don't like how trolls do business, but I don't think changing the rules like this is a good idea overall.
This isn't changing the rules. This is following the rules.
See my article in the ABA's Judges Journal about how judges had been bending the rules for the RIAA. "Large Recording Companies v. The Defenseless: Some Common Sense Solutions to the Challenges of the RIAA Litigation". The Judges' Journal, Judicial Division of American Bar Association. Summer 2008 edition, Part 1 of The Judges Journals' 2-part series, "Access to Justice".
What, they just have the things draped across the beach? I would have thought they'd bury it once it got somewhat close to shore...
Remember, Malibu Media can just change venues too and start this all over again... This judge didn't do anything worth while for you and me and opened himself up to an appeal where he obviously will be slapped. About the only thing he accomplished is getting Malibu Media out of his courtroom and off his docket, for now. Nothing else will change.
I beg to differ.
Malibu Media can't choose the venue, or the judge.
If Judge Hellerstein's decision is followed by other judges, it will be the death knell of the present wave of Malibu Media litigation.
