@brwnmamba: Is the correct way to pronounce LINUX lynn-ucks? Read more

@Lula Mae Broadway: In 'N Out FTW! Read more

I cut my coder teeth on Pascal in college, but it is truly a "teaching language" rather than one that I've ever used in the real world. Then I learned true Object Oriented Programming in Java, which is also a fantastic learning language because it's so strongly typed (your integers can only be integers, or else your… Read more

@Pat Conheady: Most likely it has to do with deductions. I'm working with my accountant now to figure it out exactly. Read more

@marjon00: June, they say! June. Meant to include that in the post. Adding now, thanks! Read more

@DougGreen: Just to clarify—it took me 2 hours on TurboTax, AFTER I'd organized all my paperwork and deductions into a spreadsheet (which I had to do for my accountant as well.) The initial paperwork-gathering and deduction spreadsheet also took a couple of hours, at least. Read more

Aww, thanks everyone. It's *really hard* to look at yourself on film. I'm so glad I sit behind a computer screen most of the time! Read more

My friend Chris Hardwick is hosting the show this week, and it's going to be really good! I believe my segment (The Loop) will be about 4:30 or so. Read more

Hahaha, it's true! I did that since my byline doesn't show on the front page, not because my head's too big to fit into this comment box. Oh, maybe it is. ;) Read more

There's the catch: you've got to write the HTML page yourself. :( Read more

My friend says it's like standing naked outside a police station. The danger is really to newbs who don't understand that's how it works,… Read more

I tried installing that OEM CD on my MacBook Pro (in Boot Camp) and it was a no-go. So it could be that Dell to Dell works, but I'm not convinced OEM discs work on any hardware. Read more

Ah, ok—thanks for the comments, everyone. I don't have two Dell PC's to test this out with here, but I'll update the post. Read more

@Technick: My question is, HOW is it tied to the motherboard exactly? Does it phone home? I know you can buy OEM discs, so where does the motherboard<—>disc association happen? Read more

@Dom: Uh-oh, looks like we're both wrong... I'm using VirtuaWin now and it looks like it's 20 max. Will update the post, thanks! Read more

@Rmvilla: That is true, and it is a drawback, but I didn't forget to say it in the article. :) "As long as FolderShare is running and the computer is connected to the internet, the files will update." Read more

@holymogwai: I'm a Mac user, a Windows user, and a Linux user. There is no One True Way. ;) Read more

Yeah, I'm with Bats here. I don't defend Microsoft often, but the fact that they write an operating system that runs on machines made of third-party components (instead of getting the easy job of supporting software running on hardware only they manufacture, ahem Apple), there are a gazillion different system… Read more
