Cool. I just turned my clipboard history on. I frequently cycle through two or three copy/paste cycles.

Didn't know the Windows-V trick, but this starts clear every time you boot the OS so it's not really a great solution. I use Ditto (https://ditto-cp.sourceforge.io/) which maintains all the history and has many excellent 'get-you-out-of-jail' features that have saved my skin so many times. Once you get used to little things like this their absence on other machines is keenly felt.

A little. I got MVP, so I tried to answer in the forums and got an email bitching about how I did it, so I stopped. Still poking around the lounge, it's pretty quiet.

Question - when I accidentally type in the code window during debugging and VS says I have to 'edit' or 'continue', how do those options differ and why can't I EVER keep debugging instead of stopping and starting again?

When I install a new PC, I always install Chrome.

When I install Visual Studio, I always disable Edit&Continue.

I'd rather be phishing!

I didn't know I could. What happens then if I type something?

You can either undo, or put up with the debugger warning you that the source and object code are mismatched - that might cause breakpoints to not get hit, for example, if you add/delete lines of code.

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Yeah, my issue is I undo and it still insists it's hands are tied

Wow.

If all your choices are as horrifically, terrifyingly bad as that, I think I'll leave Edit & Continue enabled.

I encountered that only with web applications...
I think the issue is IIS and VS try to synchronize to it...
IIS love to keep close binaries (pre-load and such), so VS have hard time to replace a DLL...

Have Used TaxAct for years.

Simple, Questions --> Answers --> Click --> File --> Done; once in under two hours.

This year I had a 1099 Gig for six weeks, and the voice on the phone at TaxAct told me that I would have to use their super duper high priced version.

Searching the internet, I found...

This page of combined Link-Bait and PopUp annoyance...

This page, authored by "Beverly Bird" with seven suggestions...

My finances for last year...

One ultra meager W2 source
One regularly meager W2 Source
One 1099 gig

I welcome suggestions.

Alternatively, I might wait and see if old age gets me before April....

I've been rich and I've been poor.

Poor is better--nobody taxes it, nobody steals it, nobody tries to take it away from you, nobody says you owe them more poorness.

You're still responsible for last year's taxes. Oh, and anything you earned this year too.

There is no exemption because of death! Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

1) Nice steal.

2) Well, kind of, Marc (in USA at least). Your estate is liable for debts owed, including income taxes. I believe that's limited to the value of the estate, that not even the IRS can go after heirs' assets.

However, capital gains on investments are calculated from the investments' price at the decendent's date of death, not from the original purchase price. Hopefully, that's better for the heirs, and certainly a lot less hassle.

3) For those single people out there, make sure that your assets are what's called "transfer on death". This means the asset transfers to the designated person without going through the probate process. Thus, they're more immediately available, and the local government doesn't get a cut.

All of this is based on my experiences being the representative of a few estates in the midwest USA, and I am not a lawyer, so take these statements with a grain of salt.

I am a lawyer in Louisiana, who no longer practices law.

You have never seen such naked greed or bitter in-fighting as when it is a large estate.

Coming in second is the sale of a house because of a divorce.
