7th Annual Anandtech Tax Time Thread

Thanks, I think so too.. As I read the Qualifying Relative test, my SO does qualify. Here is something from Turbotax answering that question: http://blog.turbotax.intuit.com/deductions-and-credits/can-i-claim-my-girlfriend-as-a-dependent However, I just don't know what the IRS means by gross...

7th Annual Anandtech Tax Time Thread

My SO was a graduate student all of last year and made no income. However, she did rollover ~20K from an old work 401k to a Traditional IRA. We both live together (both listed on mortgage) and I supported her financially. My two questions: 1) Can I still claim her as a dependent? I am confused...

What do you use to read RSS feeds?

Mozilla Thunderbird will allow you to put multiple feeds under one heading. For example, I have multiple feeds under the heading of Hot Deals, News, and Humor.

The buy.com veiwsonic fiasco... did it start hot deals sites

I still have the original order notification email (that's all I ever got, no monitor for me). For reference, the order was placed on 2/7/1999 and was for the 19" Hitachi SuperScan 753 Monitor.

Sopranos

I disagree. I don't think Tony's dead. I think the audience got whacked. It went to black for us, not Tony. Since the Soprano's will continue to live their lives, the only way for Chase to end the series was to whack the viewers, which is why it went to black so suddenly that people actually...

You could also try Good Sync. Seems to work well with my USB stick for the essentially the same purpose as what you're doing.

WD 80gb Hard Drive 19.99 @ Office Max - after mail in rbt

Yep, I get the same thing. "OfficeMax February 2004 Cash Offers" shows a $20 rebate for the Western Digital 80GB Hard Drive. However, the Manufacturer's rebate comes up as $30. I'm worried but I guess I'll just wait till the rebate arrives and deal with it then.

who has the best buffalo wings?

Especially when they are half-priced!! :evil: Here in Rochester, another place that I like is Zebb's. I think their Zebb original sauce is pretty tasty. As for Buffalo, I ate at the Anchor Bar once just to say that I've eaten there and to pay homage. Good wings. Also, I've heard that...

Really? I thought they were okay but there's much better in Rochester. I've always been partial to the wings at The Distillery. :)

At the rate I'm going, in 16.8 years....

I look forward to my celebration in June 2913 when I finally attain my lifer status, which is about 909.7 years from now. Trust me, in 900 years I would have EARNED that title of LIFER, not like you punks who manage to get it in a year or two. ;)

Oldest members with least number of posts...

I thought about not posting in this thread so that I'd have a better shot when this thread reappears next year... but so far I'm in the top ten (or is it bottom ten?) so I figured what the hell. :)

BIOS won't recognize new WD 60GB HD

Buy.com DOTD: Lexar 160 MB CompactFlash Card for $133.95 (before coupons/eBates). EXPIRED

Wait.. now I'm confused. The Lexar Media coupon states it will accept CF160-08-245, which is the part number for the Buy.com DOTD. This would imply that the DOTD is 8x speed. However, I'm got no idea of what the differences are between that and CF160-08-241, other then its price @ $190, the...

Kodak DC4800 for $390

Thanks Ribbet. I thought about that but the discount is on the entire order, not just the camera.. Nevertheless, I'm not sure how Amex Blue handles rebates and discounts. For that matter, I'm not even sure how shipping factors into their judgement of what they will pricematch. Hmm, sounds...
