I do hope you are joking. If not, I would recommend buying another network cable and running through the hardware firewall. Setting up a firewall on the laptop isn't a bad idea either, though the hardware firewall will pretty much take care of it. If you connect directly to the cable modem without any form of firewall, you are asking for trouble. If anyone else knows more or better, please feel free to trash my advice.
First, I'm not sure that 'liquid rock' is useful for making a density comparison without being a bit more specific. Second it says the core has a mass 70 times that of earth, not that it is 70 times the density of anything. Thirdly, they aren't Martian. The Planetary Republic of Venus used Earth as a staging area in their attack again Mars, so it is their million-year-old weapons filling our core. Sheesh, man, go back and study your history more carefully.
I've always found that it is less a matter of static elements in one's appearance (ie tattoos, being obese, long hair, piercings, whatever) and more a matter of presentation and the manner in which one handles oneself. I have seen many people who, upon first viewing, appear quite odd, but they behave in a manner that is professional and therefore are treated the same way. There are plenty of normal looking people who are entirely unable to do this.
Back to the original post: Are their difficulties with appearing different? Sure. You have to prove that you are going to work well in that environment. Sometimes that can not be accomplished. That being said there are plenty of places (especially tech shops) who are results oriented and will take you on if you can hack it.
I'm not a SCO fan, and I think their recent attempts at increasing revenue is little more than extortion but the fact is that if SCO goes down, more people are out of a job and there will be more admins running unsupported systems.
My alma mater used SSN's for student ids until 2 years ago. They then (for our protection) implemented new id cards that had only 2 things on the mag stripe. The first was your new student id (also printed on the card), the second was a counter, so if you got a replacement card it incremented and the old one was no good. So, an unscrupulous person could swipe your card, re-encode it with the updated count, and do whatever they felt like on your credentials.
Actually, my reaction was more along the lines of: "How the devil did Netscape 8 make it through testing without these issues being found and corrected".
I don't see where an anti-MS reaction is warranted or even to be expected.
I would like to know how a page with neither the word "Miserable" nor the word "Failure" turns up in an "I'm feeling lucky" search. I was always under the impression that this returned the first found page matching the criteria. Anyone know a bit more on how this works?
a warning on the "Major in Business and take a lot of programming courses" is that in my experience it is important that you not confuse Business IT with Computer Science. If you do a Business major that is fine, but if you wish to be a programmer take your programming classes through the CS dept.
My company looks for understanding of the way things work in an entry level candidate, it is the theory that will allow you to adapt to changes and different environments. A Business IT program will show you how to do something, but once you leave that specific paradigm it is much harder to adapt.
Have you checked out the ColdFire Trilogy by CS Friedman? Black Sun Rising, When True Night Falls, and Crown of Shadows are the names of the books (in order) and I have greatly enjoyed reading them. The aren't exactly new, but well worth the read.

I concede the point.

think I'd first get a new email address.
I certainly hope not.

Creepy as hell.
Oh come on, I'm sure we can find SOMETHING here to pin on IE, we just need to look harder.
