Are the rules for taking capital gains/loses the same for stock options
as they are for stocks? For instance, if I bought DEC Call 40 options
and they expired worthless, would I be able to take the full amount as
a loss? I'm sure the IRS will take its cut if the options *gain* in
value!

sure, but you may need to fill out an additional form in addition to
schedule D; I think it's form 8349 or something close to that.
