    Streaming help

    I'm wondering if anyone has some best practice info on creating streaming videos. I'm at work and trying to create an elearning course (that has flash video). However, we're finding that the video stutters. We've reduced the specs to no avail. Here's how we're coding right now: -...

    5th Annual Tax Thread - 2007

    One more question. If one files an extension for their personal tax income, does that automatically file an extension for a sole proprietorship as well (has an EIN). Or does the Sole Proprietorship extension have to be filed seperately? Sole Prop has zero employees if that makes a difference.

    W2, 1099, and 1098. Doing the taxes for my brother. He's a senior in college. He has the following: 2 W2s adding to 6,500 1 1099 adding to 4000 1 1098-T with 13,000 in box 1 I keep adding that he owes the government. Why does the 1098 not deduct against 1099 as well as the W2...

    5th Annual Tax Thread - 2007

    CPA, you are correct in that I'm filing a schedule K-1. The LLC is for a real estate in which we've depreciation "losses". So let's say depreciation (after taking in income, etc...) results in a loss of 10k. I'm assuming that because I'm taxable for income, I can take the losses as well...

    5th Annual Tax Thread - 2007

    Thanks Eagle Keeper, so based on that, my total income in my example would be: W2 80K + 1099 16K - Expenses 30K = 66K And the Schedule K for the LLC affects only the LLC and not my personal income. Did I get that right?

    5th Annual Tax Thread - 2007

    I currently receive both W2s, 1099s, and Schedule K's. I'm wondering if the losses from the 1099's and schedule k's (business) spill over into my personal income via W2? 1099s and some business expenses are to my sole proprietorship. Schedule Ks are from an LLC of which I'm a managing...

    Maui in March, tips/suggestions/comments?

    FYI Maui rains in March. (Or at least it did last year when I was there). Though it's on and off, and we did get some good scuba/volcano walking, etc...done.

    49ers pick up option to keep Alex Smith through 2010

    whoever's the HC, just give the team back to Eddie. He may be a crook, but he cared lots for the franchise and was a winner.

    49ers pick up option to keep Alex Smith through 2010

    Was def a bad year to have the #1 pick. 1 yr earlier: Carson Palmer, 1yr later: Reggie Bush. Or really, Leinart should've came out and not play his senior year ;)

    49ers pick up option to keep Alex Smith through 2010

    btw...before we go off in a different direction, i wanted to discuss whether or not picking up the clause through 2010 was a good idea. I just wonder if (forgot name) from ND can be had for cheap since Cleveland wants to resign Derek Anderson...not saying that's the cure, but prob a cheaper...

    49ers pick up option to keep Alex Smith through 2010

    I brought up Aaron because the #1 pick was between him and Alex and (imo and somewhat in retrospect), Aaron would've been a better choice...he at least played in a competitive conference.

    49ers pick up option to keep Alex Smith through 2010

    can't speak too much for the line and I agree he needs better support. Though we did pick up Darrel Jackson for him and Battle has proven to be solid for him as well. Maybe my expectations were too high as I expected better play from him as Gore was a factor to be deal with (for defenses)...

    49ers pick up option to keep Alex Smith through 2010

    As an avid 49er fan, I don't blame Alex Smith solely for the bad play the team has had. Having a new offensive coordinator each of your first three years isn't that easy. But, as an overall #1 pick, I except you to take the lead and not make excuses blaming the Head Coach or your line. As...

    Yao out for rest of season

    It really sux whenever a marquee player gets hurt. Though I will say, being a Warrior fan, you guys in Houston want Webber? You can have him. I think this injury helped us more than acquiring Webber did (though w/out Beidrins for a couple of weeks will tell us wether or not he can make a...

    What Happens If You Blow Off Jury Duty

    I actually heard this from a friend who's a county clerk. You'll be amazed with how many people claim to never have received their summons. No matter how long they've been at the same address and somehow received the latest summons after "not receiving them" for years. Go figure. Some are...

    What Happens If You Blow Off Jury Duty

    it is illegal and yes, they can put out a warrant for failure to do your civic duty. However, with that in mind, you're still innocent until proven guilty and unless they sent that letter certified, there's no proof that this letter nor each and every letter they will send you after telling...

    The friging Chinese are taking over the world *rant alert*

    While I understand the OP's point, let's also take into consideration it's NOT Chinese companies we're buying these items from. And as someone pointed out earlier, there are a combination of factors. Not to make this long, I'll just point out a few points. 1. US brands (rest of world as...

    Dear Monday Night Football,

    i find it utterly annoying that that the cable channels are continually trying to outlet themselves into new territory and away from the core that made them so good. ESPN, MTV, etc... are prime examples. ESPN used to be pure sports but now everything is so glorified, i swear 50% of Saturday's...

    Selling my condo

    couple things you'll have to look for: Title insurance, transfer taxes. regardless, expect in the .7-1% range even w/out commission. Also, if your buyer comes with an agent, expect to pay and additional 2.5-3%. All you really save is the 2.5-3% you would've paid your own agent.

    Has anyone noticed that Wikipedia is quickly becoming the #1 result for anything you google for?

    In short for why this happens, Wikipedia's optimized for Google searches. I've done some SEO work in partnership with google and one of the big points for bringing your page to #1 is how many times your web pages are referenced. As we know, Wikipedia will link back to itself almost limitless...

    Official: 2007 NBA Playoff thread.

    As a 10yr season ticket holder for GS, we most def have a legit shot. Players are for once healthy, and we can definately run offensively with the Mavs. Plus, I'm sure Nellie has something planned. I'd say though we won 2 staight up against the Mavs this season. Tuesday's game doesn't count...

    Bay Area to Monterey Driving Time?

    if you leave at 5:30-6, you'd skip alot of the commute traffic and prob get there w/in 2 hours. I'm guessing you take Bay Bridge to 101 down to 152W? 2 hours should cover at that time. It'll take you 1.5 to get to SJ, and the other 1/2hr to Monterey. If you leave after 6, you'll hit...

    Heading to Phoenix this weekend

    Friend punched out a girl

    Chinese restaurant food unhealthy, study says

    just to add a tidbit of history: "chop suey" isn't really Chinese food per say. It was invented in the 1850's (yes, by Chinese) in America during the railroad constructions. Originally consisted of all the leftovers of the day mixed together in a pan and given to the 'white' workers. ...

    Sounds like the friend zone to me too. One thing to remember is because you like someone doesn't automatically mean they like you back, so go with the blows. It doesn't mean you have to stop trying, but it does mean you have to be a little more subtle and possibly take a step back. At the...
