What do I have to be logged in as to get info on Barry Bonds? Or all the actors who have played James Bond?

Single 39.6% tax threshold: $41320
Married 39.6% tax threshold: $46850

In order for this to be a tax ADVANTAGE for two earners, the 39.6% threshold would have to be at least $82640. This is actually a penalty, since if both spouses make $40k, before they married their taxes each would have been below 39.6%, now that they're married, nearly all of the second spouse's income is taxed at the higher rate.

No. Robotic surgery is not the clear winner. For many procedures, robot surgery has a higher complication rate than the same procedures done without a robot.

Here's one example: http://www.wsj.com/articles/ro...

Especially the % for "things dropped into the body". How often do human surgeons drop something in the body? My guess is that the issue in the robot case, the surgery has to be paused while a human scrubs in to fish the object out.

I use neural networks on a daily basis based on a very old design. There have been a few tweaks along the way, but still basically in continuous use: http://scienceblogs.com/neurop...

That's 600 Mya.

Interesting. I think it was Belle with the map. Her kingdom does have some French influence, though of course they do all speak and write English in the American movies and books. It seems weird they'd insert a little authenticity into the map and nothing else. I also *think* it was a zero and not even an O, but that's kind of hard to tell sometimes.

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.

I don't know about North, but one children's book I read recently seemed to have gotten rid of West. In the picture of a Disney princess holding a map, the four directions were marked as N, E, S, and 0.
