    going to school is like rolling in butter and sitting on top of the slippery slope of sloth. I highly recommend any type of program where you can work while you learn. You'll be one up on everybody since you'll have experience.

    Here's my ranking of who I would like to get cable internet from if I had a choice.
    1. Brighthouse (they do it right) 2. Comcast (they just leave you alone, but don't really know wht their doing) 3. Insight ( they don't know what their doing and make sure you know it)

    The infrastructure owner should not be allowed to package direct to the consumer, only wholesale. This would create a "market" for anyone who wants to buy wholesale access, it could be a town or an ISP. The fox should not watch the hen-house.

    SURPRISE
    These are not marketed at you. Them make great point of care devices for doctors and nurses. I could also see them being useful for performing an inventory or maybe maitre'de in a restaurant.
    Technology is for everyone, just because you can't think of a use doesn't mean it's useless.

    Tablet PC's make excellent point of care medical devices. It's a pain to type on a screen or use a little mouse while your talking to a patient. It's much nicer to tap on afew fields.

    Several drug stores in my area will give cash back up to $100. I just buy a pack of gum or a drink, it's still cheaper then the ATM fee, I could buy the cashier a drink and still come out ahead.

    Suse does not provide a personal edition, they do still provide a free edition. You can of course perform an FTP install, fairly painless, or you can download the DVD ISO of SUSE 9.2.

    The government encoureages people to have children. The government would cease to exist if nobody had children, realistically children are like a new car, nobody but the uber-rich can really afford them. (New cars depreciate so quickly you piss away about 30% of the cost, few people can really afford that.)

    Tax breaks help people decide to grow a family. Children root them in the community, calm the raging males, and creates future taxpayers (and soldiers). What's not to like?

    Self-centered, childless, childish, and selfish people like you piss me off!
