"In nine months my contract as a research assistent at my Alma Mater will come to an end. It will not be renewed, I don't want it to be anyway. But outside the economy is too ill to welcome me. I am young. I am healthy. And I want to see the world before I've got the wife and the kids and the double mortgage. I have no money saved, and I don't plan to save some until then. What can a skillful geek (electrical, electronical and software engineer, speaks three languages fluently) like me do to see the world. Volunteer ? Working for a multinational with exchange programs? Something with no connection at all to the tech world? Please share your experience."
You are setting yourself up for the double mortgage by saying "nope not saving, I'll do it later". Well when later comes it's something else that needs the money, like kids needing this or that. Buck up, get a job and start saving now, so when you're 78 years old you can have someone empty your bedpan instead of laying in it for 4 hours.

That is one view. I look at it liek this: DISH is cheaper than cable in most markets. But people don't want DISH or DirecTV if tehy can't get locals. cables will always offer locals. If it takes til 2010 to get the whole country's locals on DISH or DirecTV that sucks.
Yeah yay, so I get to keep my mast with antenna so I can get my locals. I do have a cable company but it offers 17 channels. DISH is cheaper for me and is a better quality. But hey thanks FCC, I don't need to see my local news without snow.

I have a choice. 17 channels 25 dollars for cable or 150 channels for 60 bucks. Can I have locals since I have a choice?
Dude? You have that too? If you find out what it is, please let me know.
