Your situation sounds like one that a CPA would be perfect for - especially with business taxes involved. Our household has just the basic salaries / expenses / 401k / IRAs. THe ye…

Let's end the debate, assuage the farmers who opposed time changes from the beginning, and honor every other timekeeping system in our earlier history: From now on, sunrise is 0700…

Until some overly agressive anti-cheat that has kernel level access, decides to blacklist your machine, and because of whatever black boxed bugs, blocks your machine's Ethernet con…

This looks entirely offtopic. Commenting on wrong post?

Well, if they're not going to use them to find and shut down the NK hackers, then they should step aside for those who will. (Of course, there could be deeper ops from the CISA sid…

I'm in the US, so see this from a bit more abstract point of view, but I understand the insanity of being just over a border and not being able to watch/listen to media in the same…

The point is that there's no keys involved, nothing in your private office. No rummaging either. Publishing to a public web server is analogous to that little free library, out in …

Which works great when there's some kind of access restriction in place. If you wind up putting your tax returns in the 'little free library' you set up on your front yard, you can…

Any chance this could work on Android?

I've had my eyes open for anything that does real dynamic rescheduling, sadly, no one has rediscovered this. See www.1soft.com, Above & Beyond does this rescheduling the real way, …
