I get 8Mbps down/1Mbps up with their new cable modem service in Brooklyn, NY. Why would I want to pay almost 3 times that for Sprint's service?

Uhhhh...I wouldn't touch Nautilus with a 10-foot pole. The instant I run it, it spawns about 7 children, then makes my HD thrash like crazy at a constant rate, until I kill it (and I have to kill it several times in order to keep it dead since it automatically respawns a new process).
Um, with the dot-com crash, aren't Unix admins about a dime a dozen now? I've been working in the field for 4 years in the NYC area now, and can't seem to make anything over $70,000/year.:(
DC couldn't have been in existance for more than, what, 3 years now? These people surely had jobs before DC, and they will have a job elsewhere after this.
I'm currently a UNIX admin in the NY area, paying $1000/month rent for a 2-bedroom apt. I've ben at my current job for 3 years, making well below the boom price (I went from making $42k-$66k year in 3 years). On the one hand, I feel like an ass for not taking advantage of the ridiculous rates some folk were getting a year or so ago, but on the other, I wonder if it will all even out since if I did get laid off from my current job (god forbid), the next employer will see on my resume that I stayed in one place for a while (I like where I work, even though the pay can surely be better) and may consider me to be less of a flight risk than someone just holding on until something better comes along.
I would like to buy a house now (I have over 50k saved thanks to an inheritance), but I'm still petrified of screwing myself over since this does not appear to be a good time to buy a house, low interest rates or no.
I dunno, looking at dice.com, I still see a good amount of UNIX admin job postings, most with higher salaries than Im curntly making. Is it really so bad? Granted, Im sure there is more competition, but if I did get laid off, I hope It won't be so hard for me since I have like 5 years experience now. (I admit that I've gotten rusty, but it's nothing that re-opening a book or 2 or a couple of months can't ake care of).
Anyone really having trouble finding a sysadmin job around NYC?

But what happens when your card breaks after they've gone out of business?

I bet your friends will sure be annoyed to find that they have to go and re-encode them in order to play them in their portables....
....not unless I can somehow get my Aiwa CDC-MP3 car stereo player to play them.....

It would certainly help your case if you mentioned what region of the world you lived in...

Apparently you've never heard of adoption. Or *gasp* birth control!
