Yup, I use TaxCut also. Works very well. Heck of a chat... it'd be funny if that customer were an IRS person...!

I don't it is a very smart idea. Here's a report on the concept, though: Titanic2

There are some serious issues going on. Check for allergies (possible, perhaps a bit unlikely, but dust could cause or trigger this kind of situation), to the more ugly one, like a heart condition. Cousin of mine needed surgery - because the little hole we all had when a baby, so the blood...

Youthful whippersnapper :D ... mine is 10/1997...

OCR works pretty well when set up correctly. If you're trying to go from printed documents, that is. And the Excel piece works fairly well, too. That being said, you can go different routes, and do not need the full version of Acrobat as there are other OCR methods. Word '03 will do it, and...

We've been thinking about it. We have a great babysitter, she takes care of our kid very well. The part about germs is true, but OTOH, how else to develop resistances (parents included... in more than one way :D ) But, these are years we will never have again. And with the discussions about a...

If you know how it is encoded (I don't, but one part of the plug carries the headset info, the other the mike, one way to find out...) you should easily be able to find a splitter to take it to two separate signals.

Rommel, add javacool's spywareblaster to that set, and you should be well clear... plus it's free too ;)

Two people get together, and at the same time select which one they want: rock (fist) paper (open hand), or scissors (index and middle finger apart in a vertically held hand). The "wins" are as follows: rock vs scissors - rock wins, damages scissors rock vs paper - paper wins, wraps rock...

Eh, I'll be the first to say congratulations. Have fun paying the bills! :)

I know from folks that have AMEX Platinum cards that the customer reps from AMEX for Platinum know what they're doing and are extremely helpful... although still in a call center. Do a google search on amex black card and have fun...

In some cultures it is considered a sign of "weakness" if a kid loses any of his bulk. The same societies generally also consider it a good idea if kids grow up a little bit fat... which helps when they shoot up. Think "muscle tone" and alternatives. Plus, you're right, there are probably...

Eric, pardon me, but your ascertation [sic] is nonsense. They had no choice - not if they wanted to make any money, because they were severely curtailed in other investments. Yes, they could have invested elsewhere, and should have - but who in their right mind would give up a pretty generous...

I suggest you work with the machine offline; that'll eliminate outside threats and may give you more time. See if that works. Also, try rebooting into safe mode to see if that cuts down on issues. Then, on another, clean computer, create a CD with at least the following, executable (i.e...

I suggest going for another gemstone. Personally, I got my wife a sapphire, incidentally I traded my parents my stereo in Germany for the price of the ring (I had bought all the components there, on summer work, and the pricing was more than equivalent). I don't buy into the "it's diamonds or...
