Who even listens to terrestrial radio anymore? I can't honestly remember the last time I tuned into an AM or FM station. I also don't use that satellite radio crap. Between last.fm and pandora I can find new and interesting artists of the independent variety and go check them out more. If I like them I can get their music.
I always have a smart phone on me, and well since getting a squeezebox I have no need for anything other than internet radio. If I'm somewhere there's no internet I'm usually hiking, camping or hunting so I don't need music then.
Give Noc Monkey a try. I used it on a fairly large network that was all *BSD and various Linux distributions. Works great, just pxe boot a server and it'll grab it's configuration. Of course this all depends on how your network is designed and implemented.
I bartend as well in the evenings and weekends. It's a lot of fun and you get to meet some pretty interesting people. Definately a blast compaired to sitting in the cube for eight or more hours a day. I'd much rather be on my feet eight hours pouring booze for people and having good conversations.
I also do live sound on the weekends for a local company, write my own music, DJ and a few studio projects for local artists.
Personally I'd rather just bar tend and do audio for a living, I guess that's why I'm getting ready to quit my day job.
See, and that gets my goat a little bit (the younger folks not wanting to move). WHY?! Maybe the younger set -needs- to be exposed to the culture of the boonies/midwest to help counter their urban/suburban up-bringing. Maybe, instead of looking at what they're -missing- they need to see what's -there-.
Well for me I grew up in the boonies and in the midwest. I'm not moving back, look at my home town of Detroit, left there and ended up living on horse farms:p
There's not a lot of what I do in the midwest so I'm not going back:)
I believe the answer to this is obvious... No. Considering you can't really get anything "serious" out of most PCs without spending a good deal of money on better equipment for signal conversion, audio interface, etc., I doubt you could create anything worth listening to on the GBA...
I can't believe somebody would post something like this. Sure 8bit may not sound good, and it is probably noisy as fuck, but who cares? Good music doesn't always take the best instrument or recording medium to make it so.
Look at Kid Koala's Some of My Best Friends are DJs. Tell me that's not good music, and it's noisy as hell. Then again he did make it with two techs and a four track cassette recorder. I 3 that album for it's music style and just how beautiful it is.
Of course random Joe Kid is going to sound like hell on a '57 Les Paul while somebody like Clapton is going to rock it on a 100 dollar Yamaha. It's all in how you do it.
The one thing that I dislike about windows in the studio. It's not reliable. I work in various studios depending on the projects I'm hired for. When I work in a studio that has windows I pray so hard that while the band is playing or the rapper is doing his thing that the thing doesn't crash out.
I've had three projects crash in three different studios because of windows. Every time I've brought my power book or worked on a mac this hasn't happened.
Though as long as I can export everything into wav files to import into logic I'm happy.
MP3 server for your home stereo? Slap an 80GB drive into an old box with your favorite flavor of OS and remote connect. It's not that hard; my non-geek brother did this for his house (he's a college senior) and it's impressed the hell out of their party guests.
Hrm, me and my friends rarely have recorded music playing. Guess that's the benefit of us all being DJs or musicians:P
is that possible? I've got a good stock pile of booze in my server room. That shit is HVAC controlled to be 55 degrees. Beer stays cool enough to drink even out in the open *g*
Then eventually everybody will be taking side roads to lower their insurance. These roads were not built for heavy traffic, just take a look at how the metro Washington DC area, it's a perfect example of what would happen if all the commuters ended up on the "side" roads.
When the hell will thunder bird actually start using this? That's my only problem with it. The only time I use it is when i'm on my power book. I use pine elsewhere.
This entire thing is a BAD idea. Fighting worms and viruses with the same thing only creates even more bandwidth utilization and more hacked machines. The only way to get Average Joe American to update his machine is to force it to update itself.
The average person just reads email and browses the intarweb and maybe play a few silly games. Beyond that they have no clue what else their computer can do. Automagically applying patches isn't going to kill critical applications for them, they're not going to feel the pain and suffering that is CiscoWorks with 2k and SP4. They're not going to watch things break and just keep on going.
More companies need to stop looking at budget restraints when it comes to IT security. They should start consolidating redudnancies and getting off of desk tops and onto thin clients to get the budget they really need.
Just apply for everything you think you are qualified for. WHo cares if you don't have the minimum requirements for the job posting. I haven't been a 100% match for any of the places I've worked at, but they've still hired me to do the job they were advertising for.
Really your best bet to find work these days is to use who you know. After all, that's how I've gotten my jobs.
Wow, I haven't been to lycos in *years* and I do mean *years.* Their new lay out is horribly slow and ugly. Why must people do things like that when it's obvious that Google's way of having a front page (and anything else for that matter) is small, slick and effecient. Remember, less is more.
You see, that's a buncha bs. I am personally pigeon holed into being either a: a security engineer, or b: unix administrator. Then again I really don't care to code much so that works for me. Once I was an administrator for a 2k network, and I hated it.
Hiring people based on their experience is good, if you have a DBA doing it for 10 years, odds are you won't have any issues. The same goes for your security engineers and network administrators and all that jazz.
Most of the people I have worked with are very specialized in their chosen fields in computers. If you have a lot of bards then you're going to end up with a lot of crap undone at the end of the day. Hire people to fill the holes in your team and go from there I say.

Or just get a shovel.

Just what I need in a firearm. One more area that can fail epically. Also yet another battery to carry and eventually run out of.
Call me crazy but none of my firearms accidentally go off.
Yeah, there's no such thing better than VIM. Then again I have years of specialized configs for it and honestly I don't want to get new muscle memory.

just man up and stop being a pussy. Stop wearing shitty clothes, take a shower, wear deodorant. It's really not that hard.
I'm glad that SightSpeed beat out Skype on this list. The video quality of SightSpeed is far superior. Works better on my mac as well.

Like the molesters out there. Just something I found while grepping through the information.
True enough. Many of my friends are leaving IT to do other things. It's just not what it used to be anymore.

One day I'll rember to start book marking ones I want.
Maybe he should get this.

Traffic would be a total fuster cluck.

My budget is what ever I feel like saving for :)
I make a decent living to where I can afford what I need to accomplish my goals and projects.

That sounds about right. I did the AP computer science exam in '98, I did mine in PASCAL.

Dear lord, I actually enjoyed coding frogger and pacman in that stupid language. Shit ran well on an 286 though
Now you kids have p4s and all that lovely stuff. I thought I was special when they upgraded us to the 286s
