I found myself watching it the first time for "what happens next". I went again this weekend and enjoyed it WAY more because I watched what was happening. The subtle detail in each scene put a smile on my face more often than not.
TheForce.net had a good thread running about "the little things" in the film.
I think the repeat business will keep Clones going for a little bit.
This is nothing you haven't read before if you've been following this thread:
I'd suggest going to college and part time as a consultant. A degree makes you stand out, enables you more options when unemployed (subst. teaching, for instance, requires a certain amount of college hours).
A few years ago when the market was great, I went the other way. I had about a year under my belt for an Associates and left to pursue my career. It was an ISP that promoted me to web slave, to web programmer, to system admin. There's no doubt that this one company enabled me to learn more than I ever dreamed about technology, while getting PAID! Way so much more information than college could ever provide.
For the past 7 months I have watched people with degrees slowly migrate back into the working world while I ate my Spam and Mac & Cheese (Ok, I lie. No matter how poor, I won't eat Spam).
Two weeks ago I landed a Perl programming job and have started climbing out of the mound of debt I'm in.
You could opt to pursue the career path first and make some money. My advice then? Save. Save as much as you can for that one day when they say.. oops, we meant to tell you, you don't work here anymore.
Sure, I'd love to read a license and understand it. But what if I don't like it?
How many retailers are going to accept an opened copy of Office because someone actually read the print and found out that they were selling their soul to Microsoft?
For those who care (and a small handful of those who don't), 10-15 pounds in US$ is about $16-$24.
Once you have your (golden) ticket, don't forget to get to the theater 4 hours before your show starts. I figure thats when the line will start for the show to get good seats.
As for me, I think I'll be seeing Star Wars exactly one month after the release. Woohoo!

I thought not.

I'd also recommend reading up on tuning the linux kernel.

I had an old perl bug where explicitly defining a variable and using eq to test it failed.
... }
Something along the lines of...
$var = "String";
if ($var eq "String") {
The workaround was to use a regexp (/^String$/). To this day, I always use regular expressions instead of eq or ne.

Then I just write a Perl script to extract your page contents, minus the label, and write in my own.
The real problem with this however is enforcability. At what point does policy become law?
or could we find better ways to spend $7.5 MILLION, like maybe educating kids?

I don't see it happening.
