They actually are only responsible for making that technology commonplace. They hardly invented anything themselves. They just took obscure technology from left and right and made it all hip.Quote:

I have a Netflix subscription and for some reason they shipped the Return of the King even though it was second in queue to the Two Towers. Called them up and they agreed to ship the Two Towers as well. At the end of the call there's an awesome 1 question customer survey: press 3 if you are satisfied with this support call or 4 if you are not. All surveys should be so succinct. That made me smile... as well as getting an extra movie to watch this weekend.
It's taken care of. Already posted in the desktop thread.Quote:

Considering that $1.5k was due to you overpaying your taxes, I'd say you're the one who got the shaft, buddy.Quote:

I'm getting 2.7k back this year.
No, I "earned" $15k last year. Minus all of the deductions entitled to me, I only owed taxes on $5k. I paid $500 in taxes all year, so it's kind of amazing to get a tax return of $1500 on taxes I didn't pay.Quote:

How do you do taxes? :( I'm going to get arrested due to my ignorance.
Turbotax is the safest, cheapest, and easiest way if you don't have a lot of income or weird sources of income or deductions to make. And they're up on the latest tax code so you won't miss out on any savings. If you do make a lot of money or have complex taxes, then get an accountant.
Oh, I thought you were getting an actual refund. It's strange that you're getting more than you paid.Quote:

I'm not bandwagoning either. I'm Asian AND I live in New York. So yeah.
Got a Nook Tablet for Valentines :)
Yeah it's pretty awesome what Lin has been doing, plus with his background it makes it even cooler. I can't believe the Rockets let him go, but hindsight is 20/20 as they say.Quote:

Don't know much about European walls, but you can usually tell by the age of the building what's in them. It also depends on the quality of the stud finder itself. Be careful of the length of screw you put in, might get a shock if the wiring is really old.
Modern (and even semi-modern) studfinders have wiring detection functionality built in. It's pretty easy to get a read off live cables from that distance.
