I live in Houston where thunderstorms are a part of life. I have DishNetwork and it goes offline with almost every storm we have. My normal signal is very high (>120), so the argument of only dropping 20 points mentioned in other posts doesn't really seem to be the case.
It is very annoying. I still won't switch to cable though, as they don't offer enough channels and are more expensive overall. I do have cable for internet though, and it is wonderful.

Head over to RLX for a rack of 70 dual Xeon 3.0 GHz server blades all set up with the necessary clustering software and completely managed from a single web browser.

I think the best thing to do would be download some of the open source tools that are out there and build a small one.
Some of the more popular that are used in the bio-sciences are.
http://www.platform.com/ (demo only, but most powerful) http://www.openpbs.com/ (open source) http://gridengine.sunsource.net/ (open source)
I have to agree. I got a nice pink slip with one week severance. The last group laid off got up to 3 months. I'm glad they rewarded me for being loyal and not bailing on them.
Intacct (http://www.intacct.com/) is another similar
company. However, while OSB is geared to smaller
companies, Intacct is designed for mid-size businesses
(up to a few thousand employees). It is much more
robust and featureful. It also runs completely on Linux.
