Ouch dude! Leave the PCjr alone! That computer was my geek larval stage. While my buddies played games on their C64's, I was messing around in DOS on my PCjr. Trying to get drivers to load and still have enough RAM to play a "game".

This amounts to you giving the government an interest free loan. Keep the money and make interest on it yourself. (of course you get taxed on that interest too. grr)
I'm 38 and have the same "problem" I haven't tried to write in cursive in a LONG time, and basically print whenever I need to. I still have a cursive signature of course. I'm a little embarrased about it at times but.. meh.
"Recently, experiments on cosmic ray effects at airplane altitudes have been published by IBM, Boeing, and others [14, 151. We do not review this specialized field, other than to note that the fail rate of electronics at airplane altitudes is about one hundred times worse than at terrestrial altitudes, as was predicted in an IBM paper 15 years earlier [16]."
This references an IBM study, which is what I think I actually remember but could not find quickly this morning.
"In a study by IBM, it was noted that errors in cache memory were twice as common above an altitude of 2600 feet as at sea level. The soft error rate of cache memory above 2600 feet was five times the rate at sea level, and the soft error rate in Denver (5280 feet) was ten times the rate at sea level."

I was thinking about this whole "printing money" issue. If, in fact a lot of money/wealth was "erased" by the carious crashes (mostly electronically)- isn't printing money just putting it back rather than truly adding more money?
besides programming and PC level work. Server admin (Email, Database etc) Firewall/security specialist, Router/WAN specialist, VOIP. Usually one starts off in the PC level/printer repair work, and works ones way up as their abilities allow. If you are suited (eg have the aptitude) to the higher level stuff (WAN, firewalls, servers etc) then you can learn it and move into that area. Certification tests help, both manufacturer specific as well as generic ones.
I took typing in the late 80's. Mainly to learn the skill, but the side effect was a class full of chicks. I guess it was kinda like taking ballet or being a male cheerleader...
The equipment and software to do filtering properly (up to layer seven) can cost a lot of money. Most ISP's don't already have this stuff unlike corp or edu environments which may already have this gear to protect their internal networks.
At our annual state telecommunications users conference 4 years ago, he was the keynote speaker. Great speech and he talked about the future of IP and his desire to have interplanetary communications over IP and of course the latency issues.
A customer of mine (small college) reported issues with their (smallish) internet pipe one evening. Something appeared to be hogging a bunch of bandwidth. Long story short, a sniffer revealed a huge amount of traffic coming from a particular student machine directed at an IP address ARIN showed as belonging to Estonia's government. We said huh, wierd and shut down his switch port and went to bed. Of course we found out a little bit later about the attacks. I don't have the sniffer traces anymore.

that's it. I'm outta here.
I was afraid there was going to be stupid tether wire, but NO TETHER. Truly remote controlled this time.

Yep, been there done all that. Nothing has worked for BF2142.
So one cannot play BF 2 or 2142 for more than a few seconds before being booted. Hopefully with the RTM out they'll update it now.

The article does mention concrete shielding, but nothing about metal?

Second time I've posted this, but it's an interesting paper:

I'll chime in with a "me too". I signed up about a month ago and didn't know any different. It used to be in WMP?

Umm, what? Your receptionist got hacked?
I didn't RTFA, but can you really measure enjoyment? I highly doubt they enjoy much but tearing into flesh and the smell of blood.
thanks. Actually haven't tried anything with cygwin, and it looks very interesting.
Ok, not much luck under windows so far. got an NTP error that I can't get around. Bored now. Moving on.
and am installing Python now and trying to get it running.

I can get a lot more songs for .70 than .88 or even .99 cents. Cool!
The cluster, not the corporation necessarily. Although that would be an interesting question too.
