You will not pay 14K if you itemize - at least $24 K is deductible for interest on that loan, plus the real estate taxes. You'll pay that amount in some of King County, but not everywhere. In Bellevue I only pay around 3600. Also, for each dependent you get a 3000K deduction before taxes and $1000/child after taxes.

Note the sexy chest hair:

You got to have a Ph.D. to get a decent wage in that industry. Otherwise you're a peon paid peanuts.

Skinnard? Not likely. I like to play a little Joe Pass. Well...I try. Its not easy to play Joe Pass. Based on your EVH obsession, I'd request to hear Spanish Fly.

FREEBIRD!

cool, you can play semantic games I'm talking about disposable income and how it can be used, and how certain people like to constantly play the class warfare card and harp on "the rich". Usually, said individuals define rich this way: "someone who makes more money than ME" I'm not sure there's much difference between a middle class guy with a house in Marysville tied to a mortgage that is killing him and a "rich" guy in Queen Anne with a similarly oppressive mortgage. If you make more money and sink proportionately more into your mortgage the net effect is to be in the same boat. And the quality of life/house itself often is not that much better or different.

I define rich as being able to take expensive, lengthy vacations around the world for luxury activities including adventure sports.

Well, having worked in lots of research sites with Ph.D.'s (piled higher and deeper) I think you are on to something.

I sooooo agree with this. We need nanny government to take care of us from cradle to grave and save us from hurting ourselves.

Well, I've got an MS and I know what is what. My favorite question is to ask about the equals() method in Java. Why would you need to override it, and what *else* might you need to do... If they don't get that they're almost certain to get the boot immediately. I once had a guy who wrote on his resume "expert at Java 1.4.x API". So I asked him to tell me a little about what interfaces and classes were in the java.util package. "uh, I don't memorize the packages, I use Javadocs to look stuff up". OK, how about the collections framework. Tell me about some of the classes and interfaces there. Surely, you can come up with something you don't have to look up. "UHhhh...".

Let us do it! Let us do it! Unfortunately THEY probably can't do it. Those offshore guys more often than not write crappy, kludgy code that needs refactoring.

I think it's cool to put some names to faces. Who cares what some ass clowns said to you. They can go f-off.

FUCK YOU NANNY GOVERNMENT!!!

The functional muscle is inside and can't be seen anyway. doesn't change the fact that its hot, now does it? It's HOT! Hot and wet down in Poon Tang!

Would you be my neighbor?

I'll repeat a comment posted by JayB. Any woman brave enough to post her picture in this forum should get kudos.

go wash your ass.

It depends of the picture. If you post a picture of you smoking a cigarette drinking hams sitting around a campfire to show everybody how cool you are, then its shallow as hell. But when asked to post by other cc.comer, it is not. Archie posed the question to men.

I once had to work with a class hierarchy consisting of 4 6,000+ line SAX parsers. The code looked like an unholy union of FORTAN, C, and Java, and included things like "constants" that were set repreatedly, hand-rolled JDBC result/set wrappers, and 200 line if/else-if statements. After refactoring the shit down to something reasonable the author accosted me for making his code "more complicated", and inconsistent w/r/t to other code in the codebase that he wrote. His definition of "more complicated" - if you split a class into more than one class, then by definition it is more complicated. I told him to lick sack.

your guys' insecurities are so transparent...

Write test cases to wrap the shitty code. Refactor mercilessly.

No.

You think I'm going to be intimidated by you cause you have a cute ass???

Probably because of the line about the deep throat...

Can't we all just get along??
