Just buy a laptop, run it in powersaving mode all the time, plug it into a monitor, keyboard and mouse. You'll never know the difference. I got sick of transferring files between locations (work, second office, home, laptop) so I just have gone laptop only and only fire up my home PC for video games.
My wife keeps telling me to throw out my 3 boxes of D&D, AD&D stuff and I tell her "Over my cold, dead, body" or "From my cold, dead, hands". She likes the Charlton Heston reference and lets me keep my old junk (80's & 90's Rockin' sheet music as well!).
We were at $83 1 story and $87 two-story (no basements needed in Oklahoma [except during tornadoes!]) and we moved to $85/$90 respectively. Our Steel cost has gone up 150% and is rising, our concrete has risen 6% just to name a few.
People don't realize the appreciation their homes achieve simply due to the increased cost of materials, not to mention the land they are built on (assuming they are in a good area).
Yes but 28k/year in 1973 is different than 28k/year in 2004.
Inflation counts. I build homes with my family (one of my jobs) and I was arguing against raising our per sq ft price because it would be more difficult for me to sell. My dad said his first house cost $11/sq ft to build to emphasize his point: Things get more expensive over time.
The design is more secure. Look at BSD, OS X, etc, in addition to Linux. When everything doesn't run as root you have a significantly more difficult time hacking a system.
No system is perfect, but starting with a shitty foundation like MS software has, tends to make security an after thought more than a design component.
That is what makes Linux/etc inherently more secure than Windows.
Just an FYI: I called my insurance agent and 1 million dollars of coverage for a software company runs $225.00/year. I cannot remember what I pay for my insurance since the bill isn't in front of me!
So you can pay $250 for $25,000 in coverage. Which if anyone needs it the company will dry up. Or you can go to (yes they are evil) St.Farm and get $1,000,000 for $25 less. Which is the better option?
Some times I think everyone should be required to get a degree in Finance or at least be able to pass the CFP (Certified Financial Planner) exam before making decisions in their financial lives. CFP is the easy exam, CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) is the insanely difficult one to get (harder than the CPA and Bar from what I've heard, but the guy that told me had a CPA, CFA and JD (Law) so I trust his opinion).
You're exactly right. An individual would be better off maxing their liability insurance and getting umbrella insurance with a better liklihood of being successfully defended. I have personal and my company has liability insurance (personal is 1 million I think with the umbrella and company is 5 million). It's more pricy than $250 but I get more coverage (significantly more).
The first thing any business needs to do is cover its ass in this very sue-happy environment. Did you see the article about the lady suing Coor's because they market beer and her stupid ass kid killed himself drunk driving 90mph into a pole? How about personal responsibility? There are consequences to actions in this world, unfortunatly a consequence of doing business is you have significantly greater odds of getting sued over bullshit the longer you're in business.
I shorted at 17.96 in January. I love these types of announcements. They make me more $$$ (negative publicity that is). I'm wondering if I should wait for bankruptcy to buy or just to take the money and run. There is a chance they may live (however small that is).
They don't wade through 300MB, they do a diff on the dll's/exe's and find the location of the overflow, it takes longer to code the exploit than to find the problem. I'm learning assembly and my hobby is reverse engineering the install codes in software (learning only, and I'm not good by any means, yet). If you look for starter kits they tell you that WinZip (I'm not sure about current versions but older ones were "easy") is a good program to start learning how to look for instruction patterns to find where the registration routine is. The only thing you had to do was just jump past the routine.
Assembly is difficult but rewarding to learn. Plus there are so many great tools available now that weren't when I first got into programming (NASM, the Art of Assembly book, etc).
HIPAA compliance is really not something that can be said about software. It can be non-compliant (ie, no user tracking, no admin logs, etc..) but the implementation is beyond software capabilities (generally, unless it's using biometric devices to verify users). So a office may be HIPAA compliant or not regardless of whether they use this software.

I seem to recall the Clinton administration actually stopping a terrorist plot pre Y2k. Remember the higher security/threat level that got the guy coming in from Canada at the border (trying to blow up LAX).
If Bush weren't living in 1980 (see weapons in space article) maybe he would have seen a real threat instead of focusing on a missile shield. The funny thing is now we will need a missile shield since this asshole we call a president is sending weapons into space.
I am more disappointed daily at the stupidity of the American people believing the propaganda they are fed. Pull your heads out morons, this administration is horrible. But what do I know, spending on domestic programs is more important than killing Iraqi citizens to me. I wonder how Bushes God will look on him for killing thousands of people for nonexistent WMD.
If you're for Bush you're a fucking fool. The one nice thing is every stupid Republican is enjoying the victory at the polls.

I think my dead dog could run the country with more success. Oh wait, Interest Rates are at a 50 year low (note: this is an artificial low to keep the recession from getting worse).
FYI to every dipshit that says the Surplus was bogus: Why did your genius president use that as a justification for lowering taxes? Morons you cannot have it both ways.
Pathetic really.

SPARC costs a bunch more than PPC from IBM and it's slower (1/2 the speed). Not to mention it would require recompiling every app. Won't happen. An Intel based switch would be more likely but I think it's out of the question with the new PPC's that are out (IBM has 2.5 GHz at 90nm available now).

To make it more even handed we simply need to put them all in a padded room together and whoever comes out alive wins.

Religion is the root of all evil. The world would be a much better place without it (organized religion, not individual beliefs/spirituality).

They invent everything. It's just another protection scheme.
