5th Annual Tax Thread - 2007

I read in a post that it is possible to call the IRS and ask them which years are missing, and that they can provide "wage and income transcripts" for those years. 1) Is this basically asking the IRS for 1099's that they may have on file for those years? And is this prudent, should I go to...

Installing skylight without going on roof?

It would most likely be a skylight that opens so hopefully the glass can be removed. And I can probably reach the shingles that are right next to the opening to insert the flashing. LOL I can't be the first guy afraid to fall off his roof that wants to do this assbackwards, but I haven't seen...

Installing skylight without going on roof?

You can adjust the rheostat little by little so your chopper stays centered, by unlocking the nut and turning. It's tricky, and it's REALLY EASY to mess this up.

What memory dividers does a SH-E4 S939 Opteron have?

A64 and Opteron have the memory controller on-die. My DFI SLI Infinity has a divider option in the BIOS of .9 .8 .7 .6 and .5 but that's based on 200mhz. And each CPU's memory controller has a different divider.
