10th Annual Tax Thread - 2012

Last year, I had some restricted stock units vest. Taxes on this stock was due at vest so a number of stock was automatically sold to cover my tax liability. The sell price was lower then the value price which was added to my W-2 income. Can I claim a loss on my taxes?

Want advice on updating an old amd x2 desktop

Both the 250 GB drives are SATA but I would lose the 160GB HDD and the DVD-RW drive as they are IDE. I do not have a micro center nearby :(

Python help

Well, if you treat white space as your delimiter, a word would simply be a continuous sequence of non white space characters. If you want a simple solution, a python string should have some sort of split() function that will return an array of all of the words in the string. You could then...

Math geeks chime in, help me solve this problem that's hot on reddit:

That seems correct. To count them, you could choose all unique subsets of 10 from the 110. For each subset, choose 5 of the 10 to be on team 1 and the rest default to be team 2. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28110+choose+10%29+*+%2810+choose+5%29

What is the difference between make and g++?

make is a utility to build programs, g++ is a C++ compiler (gcc is a C compiler). As a program grows in complexity, it becomes unfeasible to compile/build it without the aid of a build utility.

recommend me a RAID card

Then is any real advantage to buying an HBA card like the LSI or the HighPoint card? These don't come with an onboard processor to handle the XOR operations involved with RAID5 or a cache so how would performance compare to the intel chip on my motherboard? I don't really want to spend $400+...

recommend me a RAID card

I have 4x3TB sata drives that I would like to run in RAID 5. Currently I'm using the Intel fakeRAID of my motherboard but I don't really like the idea that my data is attached to the motherboard. I assume that if my motherboard dies or that I wish to move the disks to another computer, I'm SOL...
