What kind of support ticket request system do you have set up? Also, being family members, what sort of response time/resolution time to you use with them?
I read about this back in the 80's, and from what I remember, the theory was that passing through the galactic plane put more gravitational stress on the solar system and we got more kuiper/oort belts items falling in, and therefore, more impact events. I think it was Omni magazine but might have been Discover, if it was around back then.
Not to mention, this would be taking energy away from space. We don't know what effect that would have. Maybe with less energy flowing outwards, more comets and asteroids might fall on earth. That would suck.
On the DOE side of things, hard drives don't get wiped, they get shredded. Have purchased a surplus computer that had been DOE owned and it had hard drive, optical drive, ram and video card pulled.
Fly through Tampa. Even on Memorial Day weekend, was less than 10 minute wait through security. And checking a rifle and revolver; 5 minutes. No forms to fill out, just a TSA guy who carries it over to an x-ray system and it's off to checked luggage.
Am kicking myself for giving my Canon AE-1 to my little sister when she went off to college. Was a journalism major for one year and then switched majors and sold my camera.
Haven't tried out any HD disks at home yet but I do have an Apple TV hooked up to my 'old' 720P 27" I picked up 5 years ago. The few HD (720p) downloads we tried are an improvement over our dvd's but not dramatically so. Rather, the convenience of having all our movies (ripped all our DVD's with Handbreak last summer) in one central location but available to tv and all computers in house and being able to start watching a new movie within a minute or two of starting download are what's cool to us. Even daughter, 8 years old, has Apple TV d/l procedures down. She just doesn't have the code to order yet.
So, just like mp3's beats out better sound on CD's, due to convenience, so lesser HD/DVD downloadable movies beat out physical HD use.
I was digging my father's albums (60's rock and soul) by the time I was in high school ('81-'85). I think pretty much stopped listening to new groups that started up after '77. 'Course I was also trying to find a friend to play D&D with, back in late 70's. Only found one other guy who'd heard of it on a BBS I was connecting to with my Ti 99/4a.
So yeah, the cool kids were probably over the Stones and Floyd by then.
Try to get a tech job with a gov't contracting company, like Lockheed Martin or SAIC. They pretty regularly have entry level tech jobs that only require 'ability to get a clearance'. Once you have a gov't issued clearance (either DOD, DOE, etc.), you're golden. The cost to the contractors for this clearance is around $10k-$20k. Once you have it, doors open as you're now cheaper to hire. Also, the contracting companies usually have their own online tech training and internal certs as well as tuition reimbursement (you're now an asset to them and the better trained, the more money they get hiring you out). Finally, the gov't isn't going to be outsourcing tech work. It all has to be done here in the U.S.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains.

WinXP will now be irrelevant and irreverent.
Um, the tide is coming in.

Well, sure, if you're counting all the red dwarfs out there. They breed like rats!

Man, 40+ years on this rock and it's all a blur.
So... A French chick with large Scottish breasts... would have interesting tan lines?
I used to do tech support at Honeywell. Had real rocket scientists there. Called them my brilliant idiots.
Polite folk call it Georgium Sidus.

Let's see how nice I am to my customers now.

Tiamat's scarier.
I know, individually, what all the words/acronyms mean but when put together in that order, they make no sense to me.
Sounds like he's traveling with just the receiver of a shotgun, sans barrel and stock. Yeah, would fit in a shaving kit.

Can I still get drunk on one hour's pay? Will three hour's pay have me calling Ralph on the big white phone?

Dad would always tell us to get back from the tv so it wouldn't fry our eyeballs.
Iraq's a format war?

Screw source code. I just want to read the executable.
An SSD for OS and Apps and an HD for user land.
