DaemonFCschestowitz: I was wrongDec 09 17:53
DaemonFCyou pay 10% federal tax up to about $8 an hourDec 09 17:53
DaemonFConce you get about $8 an hour, the next bracket is 15%Dec 09 17:53
DaemonFCthen you don't go to 25% until you make about $32.60 an hourDec 09 17:54
DaemonFCthat's all assuming you work 40 hours a weekDec 09 17:55
DaemonFC15% tax bracket is way too wideDec 09 17:57
schestowitzHey, DaemonFCDec 09 17:59
DaemonFCbut the personal exemption went up from $3500 to $3650, so poor people get a whole $22.50 of their money back on this year's return that they didn't last yearDec 09 17:59
DaemonFCwhat they do with it is up to them I guessDec 09 17:59
DaemonFCthat's about 3 days of decent groceries Dec 09 18:00
DaemonFChehDec 09 18:00
DaemonFCthe standard deduction went up $500Dec 09 18:01
DaemonFCso now we've got $97.50 more on a 2009 return for a single person making more than $8 an hour but less than $32.60Dec 09 18:01
DaemonFCthere's the Earned Income Tax Credit for people that are poor enough and old enough (You have to be over 25), but that can flag you for an auditDec 09 18:02
DaemonFCI remember I qualified for it one year several years ago and couldn't take it because I was not 25Dec 09 18:03
DaemonFCthat would have given me another $500 on that year's return, but the government said I didn't need it cause I wasn't 25Dec 09 18:03
DaemonFC19 year olds don't need to eatDec 09 18:03
DaemonFCdid you know that, schestowitz? :)Dec 09 18:03
DaemonFCit would be nice if someone could sue them for discrimination over thatDec 09 18:04

schestowitzThat's what makes it self sustaining, I guessDec 09 18:06
DaemonFCyeah, most people that age probably don't know how to file their taxes anywayDec 09 18:08
DaemonFC(it's not hard)Dec 09 18:08
DaemonFCI can't even tel lyou how many people I worked with went and paid H&R Block like $60 to file an 1040EZ and an IT40-EZDec 09 18:09
DaemonFCtakes like 20 minutes to do the worksheets if you're single with no dependentsDec 09 18:10
DaemonFCgo use the $60 on something you actually need :PDec 09 18:10
DaemonFCnow, that's just the simple forms, if you're married filing jointly and you need an actual 1040 and IT-40, they really gouge youDec 09 18:11
DaemonFCI've seen married people with kids pay well over $300 to get their taxes doneDec 09 18:11
DaemonFCI usually claimed 2 exemptions so they wouldn't withhold anything from my paychecks and then at the end of the year they could just bill meDec 09 18:12
DaemonFCI'd throw all the money I'd need in a Christmas account and forget about it til it came time to pay themDec 09 18:13
DaemonFCthat way they can't fuck up what I owe and already have my moneyDec 09 18:13
DaemonFCor take 8 weeks to send me a check for the returnDec 09 18:13
DaemonFCor get a 0% interest loan all year from me :)Dec 09 18:13
DaemonFCthey love people who have it withheld from their paychecksDec 09 18:14
schestowitzMaybe they feel like they cannot change anythingDec 09 18:14
schestowitzThe illusion of democracy might not be foreign to them after allDec 09 18:14
DaemonFCthe tax system victimizes mainly the poor and the youngDec 09 18:17
DaemonFCit massively benefits people making up to $171,000Dec 09 18:18
DaemonFCfrom $66,000Dec 09 18:18
DaemonFCthe tax brackets jump massively for anyone making minimum wage to middle incomeDec 09 18:19
DaemonFCthen they jsut really inch up a few percent at a time for the rich until they hit a maximum of 35%Dec 09 18:19
DaemonFCso a guy making a living wage pays 15% tax, and Bill Gates will never pay more than 35%Dec 09 18:22
DaemonFCthe Senate health care bill is something totally rotten nowDec 09 18:24
DaemonFCit's now the final stake in the heart of Medicare *and* "Buy insurance from a corporate plan or else..." at onceDec 09 18:26
schestowitzNo, rich people have 'charities'Dec 09 18:26
schestowitzSo they hardly pay any tax at allDec 09 18:26
DaemonFCschestowitz: I've been on the Board of Directors of a small non-profit group Dec 09 18:27
DaemonFCfor a few yearsDec 09 18:27
DaemonFCthe IRS audited us because some money was embezzled and we never figured out who did itDec 09 18:27
DaemonFCthey said we owed tax on all the money that was takenDec 09 18:28
DaemonFCwe were trying to keep it quiet, but it leaked out and this Christian church decided to attack us by reporting the incident to the IRSDec 09 18:28
DaemonFCand we managed to go to court and win the case, but we were still down $15,000 and had to cut a few programs until we could hold fundraisers to recoup the cashDec 09 18:29
schestowitzSo you were just crushedDec 09 18:30
schestowitzSee, that's self-protective systems....Dec 09 18:30
DaemonFCI voted to pursue the IRS in tax court and to reject their settlement offerDec 09 18:30
schestowitzBut the courts is nobody's win, except lawyersDec 09 18:30
DaemonFCboth were 5-4 votes, it caused a lot of bad blood on the boardDec 09 18:30
schestowitzAnd those who win are those who can afford more motionsDec 09 18:31
DaemonFCschestowitz: We had a lawyer who represented us for freeDec 09 18:31
DaemonFCit cost us like all of $350 to go to court and the IRS had to pay that back to us in the endDec 09 18:31
DaemonFCso I was on the board for a few months after that until there was just too much bickering and so I resignedDec 09 18:32
DaemonFCafter I resigned, rumors started floating that I took the moneyDec 09 18:32

oiaohmHang on MinceR I was thinking having a program using 3 different versions of libc at the same time.    If its just different versions of libc one at a time.  As long as you use standard functions it does not matter what one you are linked to.Dec 09 23:26
MinceRicDec 09 23:37
DaemonFCFreeBSD already has a linux simulation layer for most Linux-specific programsDec 09 23:39
DaemonFCthat's the most useful when you're running a proprietary Linux program with no source code availableDec 09 23:39
oiaohmAll Unix's do as well DaemonFCDec 09 23:40
DaemonFCI use FreeBSDDec 09 23:41
DaemonFCless driver support sometimes, but it doesn't fall over and die as muchDec 09 23:41
DaemonFCI think on the whole it may be less buggy Dec 09 23:41
oiaohmThere is a lot of build time duplication.  There are a lot of programs that don't use platform particular code.Dec 09 23:41
oiaohmAnd other than the elf header saying OS would just work on the other platforms.  Ie Linux FreeBSd SolariasDec 09 23:42
oiaohmI have had good and bad times with both FreeBSD and Linux.Dec 09 23:43
DaemonFCthe more you dumb things down though, the more users you'll getDec 09 23:43
MinceRso macos will take over the world? :>Dec 09 23:44
oiaohmDevice mapping for like eth0 and so on has been the worst headaches on Linux.Dec 09 23:44
DaemonFCWindows and Mac proved that years ago, that dumbing things down grabs you 95 users out of 100Dec 09 23:44
MinceRnetwork interfaces aren't mapped to devices on linuxDec 09 23:45
DaemonFCyes, FreeBSD names the devices after what brand they are and suchDec 09 23:45

oiaohmWorks fine all bar when a network card has a programmerable mac address and it decided to go slightly nuts.Dec 09 23:48
oiaohmOr if you pull a card out and drop another in the same slot as a replacement.Dec 09 23:48
oiaohmSystem need to be a little smartter on card handling.Dec 09 23:49
MinceRthe default mac address should be retrievableDec 09 23:51
oiaohmNot always it depends on what has malfunctioned MinceRDec 09 23:52
oiaohmSmarter handling avoids the growing tree of ethx items.Dec 09 23:52
oiaohmBasically recored mac plus slot that the card is in.   If mac goes nuts system can work it out.  If card blows and you drop a replacement in system can solve as well.Dec 09 23:54
