hand drafting as a pro - feasibility
What do you think about a professional - architect or designer - that
still hand draws all his projects? And, can one be financially
successful (or efficient) today w/out CAD? BTW, to narrow the focus,
let's say small, one or two man office, doing residential & small
commercial design rather than, say, skyscrapers.Why the question? Are you looking to be on your own and can't decide?
Short answer: An office can have all CAD and no hand drafting, but no hand
drafting office can aff...
Short-term vs. long-term capital gain
I have long-term capital gains from stock transactions last year, along
with a small short-term capital loss. Can I reduce the long-term gain by
the
amount of the short-term loss? I was under the impression that short-term
and long-term gains are taxed differently. Yet I noticed TurboTax
lumps both together, placing the net gain figure on the appropriate line
on my
1040 form.
Also, I thought that capital gains were taxed at a different rate than
ordinary
income. Again, th...
Chapter 7 bankruptcy question.
I am in a civil suit and expect to settle out of court with a large
financial settlement against me. I will not be able to pay the settlment
amount.
Will Chapter 7 relieve me from this debt? I read somewhere that CRIMINAL
debts are not relieved. However this is in CIVIL court and I am trying to
settle out of court.It may become important for you to note that (and how) your statement
above conflates two different kinds of obligation -- namely, whatever
it was that plaintiff c...
Can you explain why a 'taxpayer' and a 'person' are DIFFERENT as they
pertain to the Income Tax Regulations?
Can you explain why a 'taxpayer' and a 'person' are DIFFERENT as they

...There is no document entitled the "Income Tax Regulations," so it
would make little sense for me to try to explain anything about a
document you made up.
If you want to make up explanations regarding your "Income Tax
Regulations," feel free..."- You mistake a desire for a purposeful argument with stupidity.

I am going to visit Lake District in the UK for the first time - I am
wondering where is the best place to stay for its beauty?
I am going to visit Lake District in the UK for the first time - I am
wondering where is the best place to stay for its beauty? Is Lake Windermere
too "touristy"? I'm trying to stay in a place where it is good for its value
and yet with fantastic scenery!-Glenridding at the foot of Kirkstone Pass at the southern
end of Ullswater is ine of my favourite spots.

Cell Phone Jamming Equipment 4 sale! ?
Going to have to get one of those pocket models. Last two movies I went
to there was some idiot with a cell phone ringing.But wait, what if the cellphone user is aware of the jamming and just blast
out their ringtone anyway?,
Or turn the volume up high and keys morse code messages using the keypad...
How does the person with the cellphone jammer know for sure that the jammer
is only jamming frequencies only used by cellphones?
Any idiot that doesn't have sense enough to turn t...
Average Engineering Salary
I'm relatively new to recording engineering. I've been interning for a
year or so though now I'm finally starting to get paid. However,
knowing that you start at the bottom and work your way up, $10 an hour
seems pretty low. I fill in for the main engineer at the studio I've
been interning with quite a bit, but can't seem to get them to pay me
at least $20 per hour. What is the average rate engineers can expect
to get? I know there are variables (different types of engineers etc.)

Architectural Technology
Sorry to but in here but i was wondering if there was anyone out there that
would give me thier opinion on the following.....
Architecture without technology, can be attributed to the poor design of
'Yesteryear'.
I'm examining the validity of the statement and the extent to which the
construction industry can move towards a more integrated working practice.-Since Archi"tect"ure and "tech"nology are both derived from the same root
word, I seriously question whether one can actuall...
Bankruptcy in Illinois...don't know if 7 or 13 would be best?
I am a homeowner and would like to keep my home. Would a 7 or 13 be
best?It depends on your equity in the home, the exemptions in your state and
whether or not you are behind in your payments for secured property (car,
boat, home), that you want to keep.
Talk to a bankruptcy attorney in your local area. Most offer a free initial
consultation.
And then, after your free consultation, and before you hand over your
checkbook to a lawyer, go to www.nolo.com and get their 7 or...
PA Income Tax?

son. I am divorced. Will still work in NJ so would like to

The concept of audio engineering education
I am attending school for audio engineering. The first year I learned a lot of
the basic concepts of signal flow, dynamics, and time based processing gear and
that helped. Now that I know all of that, I have to *rot* through two more
semesters of monotony. I have an internship and I think I've learned more there
than I have in school in the same ammount of time. I feel like im getting
jacked because I definetly WONT have any sort of job placement or hookups. I
got my internship on my...
telephone answering service info ?
I'm starting up a small part time business, and would like to have a
telephone number that is directed to a telephone answering service,
where a live person takes the details of the call and sends it onto me
(via email/ text/ etc).
I'd also need a number, ideally a local number, but cost of local
number and answering service all adds up and I don't want to incur too
much cost initially. Thought about an 0845 number, as I have an
adversion to calling 0870 numbers.

Help with Engineering Education
I would like to ask who of you are engineering educators or
interest in engineering education? I am working on a study
for NSF about the future uses of computerand communication's
technology in engineering education and would like to
secure more input from folks around the country.
If you would send me a note if you are interested in this topic, I
would be most appreciative. Specifically, I have a survey and
a kepner-tregoe trade-off analysis that I would like to get folks
to fil...
Best Colleges for Computer Engineering and Business
I was wondering if anyone knew of top universities that have business and
computer engineering as their top majors.-UC Berkeley (although we don't have a "computer engineering major", we
have an electrical engineering and computer science major or a computer
science major)
-Georgia Tech should be on your short list. We have a
great computer engineering program (along with electrical
engineering), and our business school (which we call management)
is very good, too!
