The one I finished this morn was a nice Dell XP with SP2 already installed, and only about a dozen spyware and 6 virus instances. It still took 5-6 hours of cleaning.
I've only had two that I charged less than $100 for. And felt abused on the rest.
$10 / hour don't buy much health insurance - epecially when FICA takes its toll.
I don't believe there are any companies with 200 employees in this county. In fact, the county itself is my largest customer. ( And some of them feel a $14 billing rate is too high for web development).
..He reads as he's writing the bill for yet another syware removal job.
Yeah they're out there, but how do I keep out of the poorhouse with this? I'm spending 10-15 hours on the worst of these: it's hard to charge a family more than a new Dell costs to remove this stuff.
How do people do it? The free beer idea gets old when you have no god-father day employer.
I first heard of TCP/IP somewhere in 1981. Since then I've looked at many books, all of which start with the obligatory chapter on the OSI model, followed by a lot of gibberish which furhter confuses things. To be honest, I never got it.
This book broke the mold. Yeah, I could do without the post office pictures, but otherwise, Thank You!
When the author immediatly dismisses the OSI model as academic gibberish, I knew we had a start, and was greatly pleased thereafter!
For a nice little tour of N. Korea, you might visit the report at hrnk.org
A national policy of starvation, overwork, and torture. Newborns murdered on grounds of suspected genetic diversity. Imprisonment of three generation of an offender's family. A lifetime political prisoner population of 200,000 - more than all the US military in Iraq; more than all the people in a small industrial city.

Unless you are one of the people who find 3000 nude people in Cleveland high art ( http://www.spencertunick.com/ ), but feel 5 terrorist prisoners held naked by a renegade private is systematic torture by an oppressive regime.
Did we mention that Vladimir Putin reports Russian Intelligence verified Sadaam's initiatives to committ terror on US soil?
Thunderbird.6 says it comes with a spiffy new installer, which indeed installed the program nicely and brought all up in working order.
Alas, it didn't come with a warning not to uninstall previous versions. When I add/remove'd 0.4, all my scores of addresses and hundreds of messages appear to be completely lost.
(WINXP - Yeah, I searched application data folders)

I can spend hours prowling about trying to get a take on what rocks were formed when and how, what came first or later, how dinosaurs came to be where they are...
Did anyone mention Dinosaur National Monument? Where else can you watch an entire site under excavation, and see exhibits too?
If you're on US 70 in eastern Utah, there's rabbit valley, a small working excavation right along the highway.
But for shear audacity of God and man, you might cruise Lake Powell by boat, and then visit Colorado National Monument, which is the same type place, only not filled with water.
Camp at Big Bend Campground outside Moab (Arches and Canyonland NP's, plus killer red-rock biking) for a gorgeous sunrise, sunset, and convenient bath in the Colorado. Speaking of water, you'll need a ton of it, so you might not backpack to these spots.
I haven't been to Great Basin National Park, but it would seem to be the logical completion of this geologic odesy.
Indeed, the statue is probably 20 ft high, and I highly recommend visiting of a summer eve, and climbing onto his lap to ponder your place in geekdom for a bit.
I dunno where the best place to post this would be, but much thanks go to everyone who brought Mozilla to this state!!
Witht the 1.4RC2 release, Moz will send hypertext (including links) to recipients listed on web page mailto: links! This was a huge block to Moz being a useful client.
Of course, there are many other wonderful improvements, greater stability, and I guess tighter code.

Yeah verily!!
Sounds like a good plan.

So I'll be doing home computers for awhile!

Can I give you the bill I'm making out right now?

80% of military professionals believe the President will keep them and us safer.
It's their butts. Who am I to argue?

I sure hope so, 'cause I'm getting tired of tracking those TIVO shares I bought at $35 thinking it was underpriced..

It says something that this is mod as "Insightful". Because the author certainly wasn't sentient during the Reagan administration.
Protestors spanned Europe en masse. You couldn't visit a campus here with being accosted by "antiwar" and "anti-welfare reform" agitators.
Reagan was regularly accused of starving children.
However, there has been an increase in the pure hatred emitted from left-of-center's after 1994-- when they were kicked out of Congress!

So what the heck am I looking at? Are they all the same resolution, spectum, etc?
The images are stunning; the part of me which spent 4 years in physics at CMU would love an explanation without loosing a morning looking for it.
Not geeky?? Where's your sense of curiosity?
