When I bought my insurance, the only disease they explicitly tested me for was AIDs. I had to take an HIV test. Even if it cost $50K per dose it would be cheaper than the disease. Where do you live? I'm pretty sure that's illegal. But maybe it's just a California thing.
The Motorola C139 is a dual-band GSM phone that will fully utilize the t-mobile and cingular US networks. It can be found new for under $20 unlocked. It's as bargain as phones get and has nice battery life to boot.
I've been where you are and have found something out along the way. Specializing in a problem or set of problems will net you more than specializing in specific technologies. I personally specialize in architecture scalability largely in the web 2.0 sphere. It is something that requires fairly extensive knowledge of (and being able to design and implement) many technologies including systems, networks, storage, databases and code. Consulting marketed towards specific sets of problems might be your solution. Once you gain that kind of reputation, you won't be worrying about employment for a long time.
Yes it would. Syntax would be a small part of the battle of jumping from any scripting language to C. Memory management, data structures, pointers, etc.
From what I've heard, you'd just pick up the debris and be done with it. Short-term exposure to radioactive debris is not the end of the world, as long as we're not talking about a full scale detonation, which wouldn't occur obviously if the missile was destroyed.
That's good if you understood what I was saying. But just to clarify, I meant a 10-15% performance hit, not 10-15% of native performance. 85-90% of native. Is that reasonable?
If they are able to get performance within 10 or 15% of native, I'd be impressed and happy. Sometimes you just want to play a casual game and don't plan on playing for an extended period which makes rebooting a pain. Since Parallels allows you to boot off of your bootcamp partition in a VM, it'll be nice to be able to do both.
Warcraft 3 is considered.. not a failure.. but not a huge success by Blizzard. It sold significantly less copies than Starcraft, Diablo, and World of Warcraft. So it appears like they're going to try and not rock the boat too much and just take Starcraft, add/change a bunch of units, beef up the graphics and stick to the formula that made Starcraft so popular. I just don't see them taking a more successful game, and applying a less successful game's formula to it.
Your MAC address? And how do you suppose they do that?

Another thing that Guild Wars attempted to tackle with its PvP. It did well in that PvP is definitely player skill based, but there's a steep learning curve if you want to try and understand the entire metagame as it exists now. A new player trying PvP in Guild Wars will pretty much always lose to an experienced player, but that has more to do with player experience than anything else. Of course, the same is true with Counter Strike:-)
I agree with you completely, and perhaps that's why Guild Wars has been the only MMO-like game that I've played regularly. It has its issues too, mainly surrounding its social aspects, but its chapters feel more like a single player RPG than anything, plus there's no monthly fee. There's no telling if you'd like it or not, but your problems with Eve are the same ones I have, so it might be worth a shot.

attack of the low UIDs?
Overflow from digg? :-\
Oh by the way. You can buy it at Target for $16.04 apparently.

nginx - It's the new lighttpd, dontcha know?
Though she can technically declare war and all kinds of other neat things :). She's the head of state for .. 13 different countries I think?
It's not Yahoo only, but not all IMAP servers support the 'IDLE' extension. Most should, however.
Very cool.. Hadn't seen this before. Less loop iterations than checking bit shifting/checking every bit. Thanks :)

who cares?
You can send your keyboard in to Kinesis for them to clean it.. I think it's $30 or something? Not too bad every couple of years.
It is available for freebsd. Check ports.

Diablo II runs natively under OS X (they released a patch). Whether or not they put it on the CDs they ship is a different story.
It's all about D ;-).. Seriously, check it out..
Okay.. My theory is this.

Ick. As far as I'm concerned, skip the heroes. It's the reason I didn't get into WC3. I've got enough to think about without micromanaging heroes too.
