After incorporating in Massachusetts, I learned that I must pay a minimum state tax of $456 per year. Ouch.

Thanks for posting. Carl Page was my undergraduate adviser at Michigan State, and I remember him fondly. It was nice to hear Larry's remembrances of him.

Re:Ask YC: What do you spend on health insurance? on Monday May 05, 2008 @09:33PM (#182066)
I pay $1232 per month, which includes wife and 2 kids, for pretty top end Blue Cross insurance in Massachusetts. No dental. I'm self-employed and this is through COBRA from a previous job. I suspect I could save by shopping around and going for a high deductible.
The search terms are highlighted in blue for me. Could this be a Flash version issue?

If your wristwatch tells the date, check it today! (Or tomorrow. Will it even let you set today's date? Mine did.)
