"I'm a competent graphic designer running a one-man-show for a small business.

Six months ago I bought a drive and Vista Business OEM. I flipped the new drive into my laptop and launched the Vista installation DVD. The OS detected all the hardware (on a May 2006 Dell Inspiron), installed the appropriate drivers and rebooted flawlessly. I installed all of my apps, doing the compatibility thing for the ones that balked, and everything just works.
Please note: When Win2K came out every Win98SE lover bitched, then when XP came out every Win2K user bitched. It's a new day, bitch all you want then get over it.
Interesting. My own thought was what percentage of under-30s have boomeranged back to (or never left) the 'rents house, and so have the POTS available whenever the cell bill ain't paid up...
Didn't have time to read through ALL 364+ comments, so if it's already been said, sorry: Texas is a right-to-work / work-at-will state. You can leave or be fired at anytime for no reason whatsoever.
I am forwarding my old SuSE 8.1 Pro CDs & DVD to you, along with appropriate instruction on where you can put them (including facilitation of the process with a sharpened poker.)
About those GUI thingies: Yeah, they probably matter. Form, function, all that neat stuff.
My degree: BFA in Graphic Design. I've been designing sites for a few years, and just recently signed onto a company that decided that I should learn development as well.
So, for the past three-and-a-half months I've been learning asp.net and C#(code behind) on the job. The upshot is that I lke Visual Studio (and no longer depend on ImageReady to create my rollover LOL), but have also (on my own) been learning PHP and Javacsript. The MS SQL server procs I've been using have given me insight into how to use MySQL on non-MS sites.
As an artist I am grateful for the opportunity to learn programming. Although I understand that I will never be a Programmer (a gift and a talent), learning some of the basic precepts has helped me to better conceptualize my design.
If you have the talent to program, you might also take it upon yourself to take a brief course in basic graphic design, or art appreciation and theory. If you're eyes aren't built for such a thing (color blind, etc.) then try music appreciation and composition. You may not be good at it, you may find yourself frustrated at learning something 'hard' (to you - just as coding is hard for me!), but I guarantee that if you follow through, your coding will be better for it.

Got a couple of certis - from my own experience, I learn only those things that interest me, leading to holes in my education. The certi course of study will cover material you may not otherwise have learned. Other than that...
Good point. But, weren't those iBooks paid for by property taxes levied on the good citizens of the community? I agree with your idea about auctioning: an auction within the community would certainly have gotten better market value and would have returned the assets to (unbruised) taxpayers.

That cracks me up. Someone please mod parent as funny.
Agreed!
The puzzles in the game were fun, all if the "levels" were intricately designed and the atmosphere was other-wordly without being alien.
Shoot-'em-ups are OK for the kiddies, this was a game for adults. Perhaps that's why it wasn't on the list.

There were negotiations. Each party got what they wanted, or the negotiations:
a) would still be going on or
b) would've broken down.
Sheesh, what kind of 'take a 100% of the pie', 'win at all costs' kind of BOOB wrote that idiotic headline?
Absolutely right. The picture/caption posting will last right up until someone posts a manager inserting its head up its own ass.
Will tourism to the ISS go down because of the "impending doom" scenario, or will it go up because of the "let's see it before it's gone" mentality?
Indeed. The site owners are getting their new movie ready, "A View of Earth Departure From Our Slashdotted Server".
