There are some military, missionary, and humanitarian groups who could use this set up work group networks in a remote location. True, you could do the same with ad-hoc networking, but this gives a one-click-connect option.
Talk to your managers about telecommuting a day or two a week. That way you only have to worry about the traffic between your bedroom and your home office.
The other solution that I've found is to live no more than five miles from the office. This gives me a typical commute of about 10 minutes from the front door to my desk.
Think about it this way: You can get another IT job. Even if you have to move back in with your parents for a while, you can always find another one. You may only have one chance to go on a music tour though. Which would you rather tell your grandchildren about? That you got to tour with a band, or that you played it safe and kept the servers running for an extra year.
There's also a huge difference in the energy budget. With a geosat, you'd have to transmit a RADAR signal several thousand miles, whereas you're sending one around 100 miles with a Derigible. That means that you can get a much stronger RADAR return for a given energy output.
In addition, with a derigible, you have the ability to loft a much larger amount of mass than you could with a rocket booster, at a fraction of the cost. This would allow you to put in a lot more power generation capability, more powerful transmitters, and greater computing power and communications equipment than you could ever fit on a satellite.
Wasn't there a Sci-fi version of ER a few years back? (I'm thinking '92-'95 here) It only had about a six episode run, and I think they ran through Dr. McCoys entire run of bad situations in the pilot episode.
I don't belive in free trade, and as for the Illegal Alien title, it's a simple matter of putting an adjective in front of a common term for foreigner to come up with a descriptive term for a certain class of criminal. (And yes, if you enter the country illegally, you are a criminal.)
The article neglected the real reason for designing it. The guy shown in the picture is an engineering student, and the backpack is full of electrical engineering textbooks. He's trying to make his life easier.
It actually sounds just like a feature that Sun already has on their servers. The Sunfires and Enterprise models can be split into multiple domains, each of which is configured to look like a different machine on the network.
If you're only sending an occasional fax, you might be able to convince your department secretary or some other school official to let you use their fax. It helps also if you can do them a favor, like fix their computer for them.
Also, if you're faxing resumes, try your campus career center.

I hear there's not much traffic there...

So what happens when part of the power grid gets slashdotted?
Never mind, someone did it while I was posting the comment.
Crap, it's already slashdotted. Did anyone get the article text before the server went belly-up?

How the hell are you supposed to look for a new job if you can't use your cell-phone at work? Oh, you mean that was the point. Never mind.

Actually, he'd be working in RIAA's legal office.

And that leads to the 257th spinoff: "Law and Order: Bad Beowulf Cluster, Natalie Portman, and In Soviet Russia Joke Investigation Unit"

Sorry, didn't see that episode of the Simpsons.
One of the features of the show will be the premiere of the 256th Law and Order spinoff: "Law And Order: Illegal Cloning Investigation Unit".
I'm betting no more than four weeks. Two months at the outside.
Still, this is one more reason I'm considering a Mac as my next computer.
No fair! This is going to put all the illegal aliens out of work in Texas and California. We can't have that now, can we?

I guess the smartass answer is to say that Unified Modeling Language is a honeypot for trapping managers.

And next week, in the interest of furthering science and our understanding of the universe, the ISS will be installing a plank.
It gives us some idea of what Bush and co. are likely to do when they finally catch Bin Laden.
A while, hell. They're in this discussion already.
I am one of those jerks, you insensitive clod!
