Actually, I believe the state tax is 7%; it's only 8.25% in NYC. The
part that REALLY sucks about NYC, though -- and some other states/cities
do this, too -- is this: if you're married, work in NYC, and live in
(say) New Jersey, and your spouse neither lives nor works in NYC... NYC
can still tax your spouse's income!!! This went all the way to the
Supreme Court, where it was (to my astonishment) upheld; I would have
considered it taxation w/o representation.
On a more Linux-y angle, has anyone tried out Trac
(http://trac.edgewall.com/
<http://freshmeat.net/redir/trac/48128/url_homepage/trac.edgewall.com>),
a sort of ticket tracker/front end for Subversion. I'm interested in
possibly giving it a go, but between Subversion, which I've never set
up, and Trac on top of it, it'll be a bit of an investment, and was
hoping someone had some input.
Thanks!
