The offshoring problem is grossly overexaggerated and all it does is separate the men from the boys.
That being said, I would focus on doing something you enjoy regardless of money. It makes the difference in life. I bet a lot of people claim to enjoy their job on here, but I bet a lot of them are lying about it. Usually the money makes these jobs worth tolerating but working in a "the office/dilbert/office space" style environment is detrimental to the soul.
Not likely as the real reason their limiting it to HDMI is because it's digital and it's encrypted.
So sure you could split the ecrypted signal into s-video or whatever other form you want, but it's not going to show the video that you want to see on the screen.
So here's my question... Analog inputs still work, but are in lower resolution. How do the analog inputs running in low res mode compare to a current generation DVD running over analog inputs?
Blizzard was one of the first large companies to use bittorrent to distribute game patches.
However, their patches include warden which is technically spyware. Have they already paid a license fee or are they in for trouble from the bittorrent people?
We've gotten good enough that we can do all but the last boss (rag) in MC at about 5 hours on the dot. Some guilds do it faster. People come and go during this time too.
It is a bummer to have to rush home from work to make it to the scheduled raids on time.
However, a much larger complaint for me is pvp... With a full time job and family I just don't have the time to spend PVPing to continue building my rank up compared to a college student who is skipping classes and having his friends play "shifts" on his account.
I sure wish it was based more on skill than who has the most time to farm honor kills day and night. I should hit rank 9 on Tuesday but I really wonder if I'll be able to make it much higher.
Or at least it did last time I used it several versions ago. It was kind of nice in some instances. Since I like to run in higher resolutions if I had parents or grandparents over I would blow up the browser to 200% so that everything was easily readable from a few feet back.
I'd like to hear from someone that actually did one of the programs with University of Phoenix or something similar.
They've been calling me a lot lately and I have been considering it. I'm not worried about money as much as getting my foot in the door. I can't even get employers to call me back lately.
Excel is the piece of Office that I just can't quit using yet. (Consequently, I do like OO Writer better than MS Word. Especially when it comes to nested tables.)
Excel allows for cool tricks like pasting the following into a text file and naming it.xls:
testtest2 test3test4
If you try to open that same xls in openoffice it opens it in writer.
As the parent poster pointed out it runs perfectly in dosbox.
I'd also like to point out that there is a GPL clone. It's not perfect but as most GPL clones of commercial games, it has potential. http://freecol.org/
From what I've read most of the broadband overseas is business class where it has extremely high uptime whereas in the U.S. if you need uptime you have to purchase a T1 or higher contract. That was fine when everyone was on 56k but 1.5mbit for a bunch of servers just doesn't cut it anymore when all of your users have more bandwidth than that at home.

True 1080p resolution TVs don't have 1080p inputs yet. A couple of HP displays do but they aren't displaying the full resolution properly.
Save your pennies until this fall if this feature is of value to you.

Not perfect, but a good start!
What stops someone from sticking a video camera on a tripod and recording a TV? Nothing.

Not for long! Soon you'll have to license the right to read your speedometer!
I couldn't find the old link, can anyone else find the slashdot post on this from several years ago?

I think it's only appropriate to post the quest he must have been reenacting.

I can't think of any others that have you jump from a cliff. They might as well sue the Tauren that told him to jump while they're at it.
No stability problems or anything. Use it daily. The machine is slow but that's not a bug it's a feature.
Could you ask him how competent his professor was?
If you were a good self-leaner I could see it working out if the professor could give you decent email feedback on your questions.

It wouldn't have been accepted if anyone else had posted it.
Let each country control the root servers for it's country codes and the U.S. can start using .com.us like every other country does.
From the previous article they set one mirror and then uncovered each of the other mirrors individually to aim them.

I think that page pretty much sums it up.
