Hey, I AM a doctor in private practice, and was a computer consultant with a private practice before my career change to medicine. I made a LOT MORE money designing business systems than I make as a doctor, and worked a lot less hours.
The grass sure looks greener over on that other side of the fence...

I'm wondering if they'll assign her to both sides of the court case when she sues her own company for facilitating piracy. Can't wait for her defending arguments in the upcoming Sony vs Sony case!
Actually, the idea of preventing copying to cassette or other media from vinyl was around in the 1970's. The RIAA and various other industry organization people were experimenting with the concept of using a notch filter on one single frequency,that all commercially recorded music would be processed with at the time it was mastered.
The idea was to strong arm manufacturers into making consumer recording equipment that would NOT record if there were no frequencies in this band. The RIAA people said nobody could hear the difference. Consumers who knew about the proposal screamed, and this assault on our rights was stopped. If I remember correctly this was before the cassette recording decision allowing home taping.
Just a little music industry nostalgia moment...

It's funny - is this the same people screaming that the Federal Government didn't do enough in New Orleans, that George Bush didn't do ANYTHING to help, etc etc etc, that are now screaming that the one line in this bill that now makes it LEGAL for the National Guard to go in and maybe, oh, I don't know, maybe HELP OUT IN A NATIONAL EMERGENCY, is going to be the end of freedom and democracy as we know it?
Totally foolish fearmongering.
Hmm.. ANOTHER place that I'm going to have to send copies of my license, DEA, Med school transcripts to? Somehow I don't think so. Be interesting to see how they plan to set up this "gated community of professionals"

Um.. Lumpy? You don't have to worry... you'll never, EVER have to worry about working for me. Even for $90 an hour. :-)
Ah.. I think I get it.. we can give up our dependence on imported OIL so that we can become dependent on imported ETHANOL.. Got it.
This is the reason our office went wireless-less last week.
