With no degree, it really boils down to who you know.
If you can get involved in some tech weighted groups (I was in SCA), you can make contacts and such, to get foot in door. I wouldn't expect Sysadmin right off the bat, though, unless you're running some service online, that you can point to. If you have some satisfied customers who'll speak up for you, even better.
Got married the day after Thanksgiving (family was already together). Anyways, make it's real easy to remember anniversary; it's always Black Friday. Don't have to remember some random number. Cool!
I know it's not a PC but a Mac Mini had held up to my daughter's use. She's had it since she was 4 (now 8). First program I got was Baby Smash, when she was still in the sit on lap and mess with my computer stage.
Just upgraded her to a G5 tower as she needs a real video card for the games she wants to play.
Put TOS in context; for the era, was pretty wild. And 'wild' has to keep moving with the times. If they come up with another show after this movie, they should put it on HBO and allow the writers the freedom they had with Rome and Deadwood.

Will these feminizing chemicals mean women who were already women end up with larger... tracks of land?
Yeah, but does that 'jock' have a four screen, 8 core system, 300+ ripped movies on a terabyte NAS, and 5 different blogs on action figures?
I. Think. NOT!
Ah, this would explain why most of my ex-girlfriends are now lesbians.
Eat up Martha!
Seems like they still hvae some pretty healthy margins on hardware. Even the stuff that's supposed to be low margin would be welcome by Dell.
I'm Spartacus and so's my wife!
...I'm suspecting more "boring" origins, such as a cold spot in our own solar system.
My first ex-girlfriend made this?
It's not easy enduring freedom.
Dude! The word is Beleaguered.

Bloomberg is saying $7.7 trillion and $24,000 from every man, woman, and child in U.S.
But what's a few hundred billion here or there? Could be rounding errors or just the cost of doing business with the big boys>
Yup, Bloomberg also says $24,000 per man, woman, and child in U.S.

Besides, I hate my neighbors, don't even know their names, and hope they default on their mortgages and coyotes move in.

Billion year old carbon
We are golden

And then it exploded.
I thought Apple only had 5% of the minions.
In this case, he hooked up his laptop to a projector and got the Not Authorized Display.
D'oh!
Stupid git!
I think English is one of the few languages out there that specifies the subject in all sentences.
It is raining.
What is raining? What is it?
In Spanish, at least, it comes out as Is Raining. I think it's similar in Russian.
The next star trek film is going to be written by some of the very worst writers the TV industry has ever seen?
StarGate writers need jobs, too!

Yeah, I think it's better to open source her at that point.
