Does anybody happen to know a simple introduction to taxation for employees in the US, namely California? I need to get an understanding how much will be left if a job ad promises a salary of $xx,xxx per year (approximately, of course)
And on a similar note, an introduction to finding housing (is rent usually inclusive or exclusive of which utilities, what is the average size of the deposit, what is the default notice period etc.)
@balpha Actually, Berkeley is one of the areas I'm looking at, so I can egg his house! :)
I want to live somewhere not far from a bit of nature, but also not far from a quick way to get into SF - Berkeley looks great for that. It's a project with many variables, we will see how it works out!

You know, that percentile reading there, the "Faster than 99% of the US", reminded me that when I was in Primary school, my height percentile came out larger than 100. Which, I don't know, what does that mean?
I suppose I'm taller than more than 100% of the population? But that's not possible, is it?
If moderators, fellow members find this irking, please forgive me. On a serious note, why dont we find female members at SO? Is the colourful GUI not pleasing for them, no it cant be. or they dont require help? or they aren't willing to help others? or general unwillingness to be a part of intern...
@RebeccaChernoff In reference to that question, either I don't understand how merging works, or the tag was merged more than once (if I followed correctly). Granted, I agree with the merge and I think that the arguments against it are unconvincing, but it admittedly does kind of strike me the wrong way that whoever did it continued to act on it without just saying "Look, these are bad tags" to end the issue.
On an unrelated note, someone is making some sort of hammering noise somewhere outside, but I can't find them to kick them in the shins and make them stop, argh.
@TimStone I remember seeing that question when it was new. Didn't read it too carefully, but the title seemed reasonable. What happened there? I've never seen a list of deleted answers like the one under that post.
@PopularDemand It was just a typical "tag got merged without needing a Meta request" event, so lack of discussion + people fiercely protective of their area of expertise ended in whatever word you want to use to describe the question+answers+comments.
Hi Guys,
I have this debate, whether the answer of 6รท2(1+2) is 9 or 1.
public class bodmas
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
float i = 6/2*(1+2);
System.out.println(i);
}
}
Java returns 9, but that's because I cannot remove the * sign. If I put this into my Casio fx-82MS c...
Hi I've a question on etiquette (maybe ethics) with regards to answering a question on SO & don't know where to ask, so maybe someone here could help.
A few weeks ago I posted a question on SO regarding a threading issue I was seeing, but I was an unregistered user. Later on I registered but even though I used the same email address my account never got associated with my previous questions.
Anyhow in the meantime Microsoft have confirmed that there is a bug in the threading implementation I was using & I feel that its quite important to let other users know (in case they spend a month tearing their hair out trying to figure out why under very heavy load this breaks).
So should I answer my question under my registered user and log back in as an unregistered user (which I'm still allowed to do?) and mark as an accpted answer. BTW - sorry for the essay
