    It's becoming painfully obvious the update to be secure is becoming a joke... With patches for the patches, really? You patch, other stuff doesn't work... Software is becoming increasingly complex, maybe too complex. Want to be secure, pay an it team to keep you away from 'the internet' ..if...

    You are not going to pay more taxes than someone making 20k taxable a year, for your first 20k taxable (for example). That is how brackets work, you go up a bracket and you get taxed at that rate for the amount that is on top of the lower bracket, its not that your entire taxable salary gets...

    How A Threat To Drop AMC Could Kill The Cable Bundle

    The problem with TV in the US is that everyone wants soooo much moooooney. Every company HAS to be a billion dollar baby. I find it absurd to pay for the ad-ridden crap cable is. Im actually OK with ads an stuff, but paying for it? That is a bridge too far, and I have never paid for cable.

    Stupid Patent Of The Month: Microsoft’s Design Patent On A Slider
