Why didn't you just apply for a State of California ID? The card can be used for identification in place of drivers license. http://dmv.ca.gov/dl/dl_info.h... If your friend was willing to vouch for you at the post office surely he could have driven you to a DMV office.
Is something obsolete if it can still perform it's design function effectively and economically? About 5 years ago, I gave a friend a Windows 98 computer as a backup for the one he had running an engraving machine.

You should have asked for them to put that in writing. In fact, you should have made a written request for them to give you a written directive to stop producing the reports. Failing to generate the required reports would have given them grounds to fire you. What a glorious fortnight of rubbing their noses in their "Official Policy"!
This was an excellent post. I don't know if it is the correct scenario, but is very plausible in view of the facts. I also enjoyed reading about an organization that having its own weapon (copyright law) turned against it. You should have posted this under your user name if you have one. If you don't go ahead and register because I think your posts would be above average and would add to the comments.
There is another alternative. I went back to school because if I'm doing something on my own, life tends to get in the way. Taking a class forces me to do the work. That being said, that is the situation that applies to me. Perhaps you have more self-discipline and learn effectively on your own as other posters have suggested. However, you don't have to earn another degree. Just enroll as a non-degree student and cherry pick the courses you would find useful. Just because you a CS degree doesn't mean that you have to go to a 4 year college. I have an MS in Computing, but I'm taking some courses at technical college (2 year college). Go for the knowledge you think is useful for your goals and career. Good Luck!

I believe it is peace for our time...

Singling out the US demonstrates a lack of understanding of the historical context.
I'm sure the NSA has already thought of this. The only airport that I have been through that has free WiFi is in New Orleans. Everywhere else you pay if you want access. What a country.
Yup, an internet filter once blocked me when I was trying to find a manual for a Canon check scanner. The banned category was "weapons!" Smart filters aren't.
They are located in Baraboo, Wisconsin, about an hour's drive north of Madison. The visitor program is very good. Take binoculars as the Whooping Crane enclosure is designed to keep them away from visitors.
One of the pieces of information in the Comcast letter is a MAC address. If you could link that address to hardware owned or leased by Prenda Law, you would really have a "smoking gun". I don't know if it is from a cable modem, but you should be very easily be able to identify the manufacturer based on the first three octets (It's been several years since I had my networking class, so my memory could be faulty)
I used one of these replacing the radio in my wife's van. You are supposed to disconnect the battery, so extra light is needed. Having the light on you head, gives you a "third" hand. I don't care if I do look silly wearing it, it made the job much easier.
brainboyz is right - take your time. You can use the time to research the stuff and decide if you really need to replace all 5 TV's. Also, if you throw out the boxes, cut them up and don't advertise the fact that you bought a big new 58" TV. You don't say how they got in, but after my house was broken into (the burglars destroyed the door) my insurance company paid for a new door. As part of the project, I got a security screen door. This will not a determined burglar, but it will slow them down enough so that they will look for an easier place to hit.
I think that a 2 year college would be a better bet. In Wisconsin, they are called Technical Colleges. Check out the equivalent in your area. I'm in the second class of an IT Project Management certificate program (3 courses) There is not a single "traditional" student in the class. All of us are currently employed with at least 10 years experience. One of my group partners last year had grandchildren -- it's never too late to go back. Good luck!

Perhaps we could work something out in July. My wife wants them out of the house.
SAC had lots of acronyms like LRBWYP. Let's see if you can google that one.
I have a couple of those drives and they supported the IBM 3270 format. They are Heathkit drives and this was in the documentation.

I have a set of 8" Floppy drives that I can't give away! (DS-DD drives with a 1.2 MB capacity!) Post a reply if you want them (SE Wisconsin area)

The DS DD's held a whopping 1.2 MB
I would recommend 8" floppies. I have a couple of drives and disks available for a very reasonable price.
A 12 gauge shotgun loaded with #4 birdshot would work quite well for prison guards to take out drones.

Why did the US need to get involved? From http://eudocs.lib.byu.edu/inde...

Perhaps you could clarify about being restricted from putting up an antenna:
http://www.arrl.org/restrictive-antenna-ordinances
Are you being prevented from putting up an antenna by ordinance or by covenants?
Sometimes thieves strike it big and sometimes they get caught, and sometimes they wind up dead. Hopefully they won't suffer for too long.
If they're getting BSOD's aren't they about 90% complete?

They are located in Baraboo, Wisconsin, about an hour's drive north of Madison. The visitor program is very good. Take binoculars as the Whooping Crane enclosure is designed to keep them away from visitors.

SMC makes cable modems, see http://na.smc.com/
The question is, where is that cable modem and who owned or leased it at that time?

Your points are excellent, but I think you missed one. The editors of Lancet retracted the paper: http://www.bmj.com/content/342/bmj.c7452#ref-9
I have heard of authors retracting a paper, but this is the first time that I heard of the editors doing so.
