My mom called me and told me that my brother had this very thing happen to him. He had to fill out some paperwork, and now has to wait up to 180 days for his return.
I'm about to file,and I'm scared to find out if I'll have the same problem.
I'm currently looking to jump ship to work for an online university. There will be a pay cut, but I will get free tuition for me, and 80% discount for my spouse and children. Where I currently am, no one has gotten a raise in 3 years, and everyone I know is actively shopping the market for new work.
True story: I stopped eating/drinking anything with sugar in it, other than things like fruit, where it is still in it's original form. I lost 40 lbs in less than 6 months. I even increased the amount of food I was eating, to include MUCH more fat than before.
I was not willing to chew on a piece of sugar cane, so I guess you could say I had to limit my choices somewhat.
They can start with ABC's for Barbarians and then work their way up to the more in-depth books like the Sermons of Vivec. It could be a truly educational experience... right?
From the article: "It's even necessary to turn on anti-aliasing in the graphics card drivers to smooth the on-screen elements of the interface."
I can see this needing a little more horsepower to really run great. I love the effect of AA, but my meager P4 2.4 can't always take the extra processing required. I wish they had tested the program on a lesser machine than a Dual Xeon. =0
The cable companies are only part of the problem. Yes, they screw people over to turn a larger profit, but the major media outlets (Viacom, etc) charge insane rates for their channels, and force cable companies to accept channels they don't want in exchange for a slightly cheaper rate overall. ESPN is over $2.50 per subscriber nowadays. That would be fine, but cable companies can't just get ESPN alone. They usually have to take a package of several channels, and the total cost is more like $10 just to get ESPN to a person's home.
I'm using ESPN as an example here, and I don't know what contracts are signed behind closed doors, but you get the general idea.
2 different companies, both trying to make some extra (alot extra) cash, and the consumer gets screwed not once, but twice...
I've gotta tell you, that is one awesome story. I'm still using a 27" TV, too. And I swear you've described the type of behavior that my wife curses me for.
Luke's X-Wing approaches the surface of the Death Star.
"Red Five, begin your attack run."
Luke swoops down into the trench. "It'll be just like Beggar's Canyon back ho-"
Turret laser bolts tear his X-Wing apart.
So true, how many times do you have to die a horrible death to finally get all the way through a game that was supposed to make you feel like a hero, but instead ensures that you never leave your cushy chair, your cold pizza, or your virginity.
I find that games only requiring a short period of time to throughly enjoy are my favorite. UT2004 is a blast in Onslaught mode (everyone should know this by now) and I can play with my brothers across the country. And a few good matches takes less than an hour of my life.
I like to play Simpsons Hit & Run with my wife when we want to just relax for an hour or so on a rainy day.
But I probably will not be willing to ever fork over the bucks that some of the upcoming all-in-one gaming/movie/theater systems are going to cost. I'll just get a cheapo PS2 and some decent games. I don't want gaming to be my life.

And it's not the first time they've blown up rockets rather than shooting them into space.
I have friends that worked on this rocket. Some were there for the launch. Orbital is going to have serious problems because of this.
Only "data" was shared, not the actual email! Trust us!

Penny Arcade had a great comic describing this very thing.

Isn't the porn industry already doing this? I mean, I HEARD they are already doing this.
To add to your comment, Viri is the plural of Vir. Vir meaning Man.
Everytime I see virii used to pluralize virus, I start to feel steam leave my ears.

I don't think freesco will help him in the realm of VOIP to the degree that the poster is looking to understand.
The poster is looking for WAN/routing/QoS/troubleshooting training that goes above and beyond the basics that the freesco FAQs will teach.

No taxation without representation.
Yeah, pay to play UT2004 -- if you want to talk smack, anyway
Check out EQEmu, its fairly developed and is fun to insta-kill mobs like Kerafyrm.
If you've not subjected yourself to Portal... (G4 MMORPG show) you have not felt pain yet...

So, this thing doesn't mention wireless. I don't think I would want one of these if it didn't have integrated wireless technology.

I'm slowly converting her though...
I love tribes. It is frickin awesome.

I like to think of RAID-0 as the drive setup that describes how much data you'll have left after a single failure. A big fat ZERO.
And yes, if you have 4 drives instead of one, you basically have only INCREASED your chances of data loss.
