I remember them doing something similar in Indianapolis afew years ago. They were doing random checks of people getting off buses downtown. They had some goose-stepper on the news that indicated they were just "reminding" the American people that the TSA has the right to "protect" any form of transportation.
I installed from a custom opensuse build made on suse studio. It took me less then 20 minutes, more like 10, for each one I setup, and I have 4 deployed currently.
Buy an old PC. Make sure it has SATA for HD, ATA is too slow. Buy two 1TB SATA HD's, slap them in the system and install linux using a software RAID. I personally prefer to install to 1 drive and use a seperate partition on that drive for data, call it/data. I then have a script that mirrors the content of that drive to the second drive on a nightly, or weekly basis. You can even do some "fancy" hardlinking to keep multiple versions, without taking up much space, email me if you need more info about that. The periodic mirroring provides redundancy and versioning, it also protects me from fat fingering and having to fall back to offsite backup. I automate it with cron and if I make a major change, I can always kick it off manually. If I have a drive failure, I don't need to mess with RAID. I don't think RAID makes sense for a 2 drive system. Use your USB drive for periodic offsite backup!
My NAS runs NX, so I can pull up a published firefox, or do bit torrent. Anything I surf in my published firefox leaves no trace on the PC or the DNS servers of the site I am at. They only see an encrypted tunnel to my home PC. A full desktop gives me alot of flexibility at little cost.
The only statistics I can find seem to indicate that wealthy people either self-classify as self made (haha), or that inherited wealth is only a small percentage of their wealth.
In reality, wealthy people transfer most of their wealth before death and the benefits of being born to a wealthy family go far beyond inheritance. Inheriting money is for children of misers and people who hit the lottery late in life.
Check out Synergy, it allows you to share keyboard and mouse across multiple computers, but each needs it's own monitor. It also works across OS (linux, mac, windows). Another option, that sound more like what you want is italc. It lets you remote control other PC's from one master PC. I deployed it in a Fire Department training room and they love it.
Per the most recent release of MS's reimageing rights, you must be an OEM, or Volume License holder to perform any cloning or imaging. I read this to say you must own at least ONE volume license. Whether that is the machine you are cloning or not.
I've been using fsarchiver, http://www.fsarchiver.org./ It lists NTFS as experimental, but I've never had a problem. It will restore to smaller or larger disks. You will need to fix the mbr if you change disk size, but for an on HD script that should not be a problem. Interfaces is very scriptable.
He should move take the offer, nobody watches out for you and yours, but your and yours. I would consider giving a longer notice, maybe 1 month instead of 2 weeks if the new company was ok with that. I would also consider doing some after hours consulting for the old company at a reasonable rate if it is short term. Rate needs to ramp up after the short term so they have an incentive to get their shit together instead of leaning on you.
I agree that our military should be purely defensive. Congress should be the only one's authorized to declare war. However I disagree on your point about Interstates. They are clearly covered under interstate commerce and ability to establish post roads and offices. Do you think anything such as that could ever have been accomplished without government intervention? You don't think railroads and interstates are worthwhile? At the very least they have always required a mandated right of way or eminent domain seizure. Eminent domain should never allow seized property to be given or sold to private companies or individuals.
I also disagree with you about rights. Just because somebody does not respect your rights (i.e. a thief or murderer) does not mean they are not violating your rights. You have to protect your own rights, but the gov has a duty to protect your rights as well. I consider it part of the social contract we have as a society. We all have a duty to protect each others rights.
We could argue what constitutes that start of modern medicine, or how long it took to spread to the majority of practitioners. However, my main point is the efficacy of treatment. Here is an example, note the sudden decrease in maternal death rate around 1930. Antibiotics were not discovered until the 1920's. Hospitals and doctors were just not that effective before the mid 20th century. Now that they are effective, there is increased demand. We are trying to grapple with something less then 100 years old. There is not enough data for economic models to interpret.
What about DOD contracting? DOD is constitutionally mandated? You don't think the gov should do that? What about building interstates? They should not do that either?
I was responding to this, Federal government is not authorized for anything else than protecting your liberty, life and pursuit of happiness from government itself and from foreign invasion..
Compare these scenarios and tell me our system is not broke.
1. Well off, company VP gets treatable cancer. Insurance kicks in, he is given paid or unpaid leave and his savings pay his insurance premiums. He spends 6 months recovering since the first bout of treatment does not get it all. Company holds his job because of people he know or kindness of company board. Company pays their portion of insurance during entire 6 months.
2. Hard Working lower middle-class (or upper middle-class) person with little savings gets cancer. Company gives him gov mandated FMLA (unpaid). They pay their portion of the insurance, He pays his tapping savings and selling off assets. Cancer is in remission, but starts to come back. FMLA is used up, so company lets him go, COBRA kicks in so his insurance costs double. He collects unemployment, which barely covers his insurance. He either loses his house, goes on foodstamps, and relies on the charity of family and friends or misses an insurance payment and loses his insurance.
3. Poor person on medicaid gets cancer. They continue to collect their welfare and food stamps. Medicaid pays their hospital bills and 6 months later they are better.
4. Older retired person on medicare gets sick. They continue to collect their SS and medicare pays their bills. They are judgement proof with only a primary residence and SS income. They recover after 6 months and die 2 months later of a heart attack.
I think the thousands of people sued for violating civil rights would disagree with your definition of rights. Rights are god given and the government has a duty to protect them, NOTjust avoid infringing on them.
Modern Health Care did not start until 1920, and the odds of doctor involvement giving you a reliably better outcome was at least 10-15 years later, some would argue 30 years later around 1950.

Your a fool if you ask for it anything outside the standard option.
Maybe a self-reliant and aware citizenship is what they are trying to prevent?

I'll bet that thing is loud, most server equipment is.

Movies and television will attempt to popularize 90 year old men dating 20 year old women, http://uvtblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/anna-nicole_j-howard-marshall.jpg.

You can purchase a gift certificate and apply it to your own account. That's what I do.

SS can easily be fixed, and there are plenty of Ponzi schemes that had nothing to do with government, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ponzi_schemes.
Dickons also wrote about one, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_and_Adventures_of_Martin_Chuzzlewit

I thought this part of the thread had veered off into, "it's not in the constitution" territory.
Read about Ponzi The Free market did a poor job, state and federal regulations were instrumental in uncovering his scheme.
