Relax, you're over the hill only when you think you are. Many a new career began at midlife ( I notice that's around the age for people to start their own business/profession, and not work for others as much) - especially artists and writers, stuff where you have to live a bunch of years of experience in order to create.
You may not be doing all stuff you did in your 20s, but that doesn't mean it can be no less exciting.
Say commercial company scrapes and reuses public data, the public entity does some important updates to said data (as they should) and commercial Co either doesn't notice decides not to update theirs (too expensive) Now commercial co is selling bad data, when customer sues company claims ignorance of the change and points the finger at the public entity for not informing them of the change or somthing else along those lines.
Case in point: In California (and other sates) there are local Child Care Resource & Referral agencies that collect data on licensed child care in the area and provide referrals to the community at no charge. They are in partnership with the state's community care licensing division to be kept informed of when providers are in investigation or violation of licensing, and have an understanding to hold referrals due to potentially dangerous situations. Most for-profit child care referral companies don't get such data, they usually get the information from the more limited "who's been licensed" list (usually only centers or larger homes which operate as a full business) and fill that in with data from the providers who pay for added visibility. If Jane provider is under suspicion for neglect, safety, or other serious reason the R&R will hold referrals during the investigation but the commercial service would be completely unaware - I wonder to what extent they can recognize/handle clients when there is a substantiated violation.
The big crux of this is "Accountability" government agencies and contractors are very accountable for what they put out; commercial operations who swoop in and re-sell public data aren't (at least until they get sued - which is probably way too late).
The more you are guided by random user feedback instead of having someone giding the site consistently the more messed up it will probably get. Do what you think is right, and if it feels bad, make it better.
Looking for remote desktop similar to and as easy as PCAnywhere - Team Viewer is about the only way to go, works on Mac/Linux/Windows and does quite a decent job of it.
Run a Windows App remotely, GoGlobal works fot that. Though the printing and file systems are kinda sucky.
I see it more that the farmer should sue Monsanto for contaminating the seeds he buys - he expects to get regualr bean seeds instead through no fault of his own, the seeds have been contaminated with genetically modified components.
Ruling that any farmer got it (contaminated agriculture) through natural processes as "infringing" is ludicrous.
I've found the Ticonderoga II and linedPad to be an excellent system for taking conference notes, the graphics, though usually monochrome have had retina capabilities for decades, works with whatever style or language you know and is the envy of everyone else when their batteries fails and you keep writing.
A well publicized article featuring Microsoft Development products of all things, I think they should use that PR in their Microsoft Visual Studio Ads...
There would be a lot of folks interested - as there were many shows and movies put out on VHS that have never made it to DVD. Though actually I would want them converted to DVD not to cloud, as I prefer to have my stuff, not visit it.
Speaking form experience in the NP field you only get big spends once in a while, otherwise you make due. So when you upgrade you really want to get something that's going to literally last seven or so years. Because (fingers crossed) you might be lucky to get new system in seven years.
Emacs were a great choice back in 2005/6 , they had great speed and good sized displays at a great price. and I'm sure in their six or seven years they have done well.
Though I like the idea of Google docs (for education it's free up to 5000 seats, reduces one-to-one system administration needs, increases collaboration, etc) I would start thinking of alternatives to InDesign as it is VERY costly. Maybe considering going Linux and Inkscape/Scribus/LibreOffice, it's not the top of the line professional, but it is close enough and very good for doing school based journalism stuff.
CS5 dropped PPC support (which eMacs are) also, so CS6 would require an intel Mac.
Going though this is a the problem of the legacy software requiring older OS which is only supported on older hardware where the internet tools are requiring ever newer OSs which require new hardware.
Its not that the old stuff is useless, its just that its hard to support it when the new stuff changes the requirements.
I took a week of googling and comparison before my purchase. In the week I was shopping for a replacement I was able to make quicker sense of Intel's naming over AMD's, and that was mainly to one educational (note: not commercial) website which did a side-by side name comparison of previous generation AMDs (up to Phenom II) against current Intel products... If AMD had something with such clarity I would have had those in my notes when I made my final decision. Fry's didn't carry much of the older AMD stuff so I was very reluctant to risk purchasing a newer AMD processor based PC.
First is as a Linux users I always went with AMD, most of the machines with the AMD moniker had an AMD processor and kickin nVidia graphics on-board. So most AMDs at the time just fell into the "Just Works" category.
Now since AMD's aqisition of ATI - it's AMD with Radeon, so the "Just Works" appeal is gone. ATI support in Linux is still commonly flaky (yeah you can get it to work, but "just works" isn't the catchphrase associated with ATI.
Second is the new branding AMD Fusion and AMD Vision - which is just as incomprehensible as intels i# labeling in my book - can't easily remember which one was betther than the other, is it Fusion or vision, and how do those stack up to a Phenom II CPU??
AMD lost their customers because they made their customers "lost". Just this month my Linux box died... got too confused with the AMD branding so finally went with an Intel i5, made sure the MB supported PCIe and popped in my nVidia card, and am not looking back... Maybe by the next purchase they will have their ducks in a row so I can do some informed shopping... Until then, well... I just don't really know what is what with AMDs.
Or at the least experiment with the process now that he has the traditional methods down... maybe he can build and test out new excavation devices/technology using his small scale operation as a model.
Not an electrical engineer... I guess for that matter many hardware emulation designers aren't either as paddle support is sorely lacking from most game/computer on a chip/FPGA emulation units.:-/
Most home computers have analog circuits too - most notably for reading paddle controls, which FPGA's cant handle. And yes, folks do use paddles (also applies to some mice, and mini tablets like the Koalapad.
last time the wife and I visited San Francisco we unknowingly got caught in a bus lane and had to go a block or so to get out. Hope there is some leeway for us idiot drivers who don't understand San Francisco bus lanes.
Of all the chips that one on the Commodore 128/128D is a pain to convert to anything modern as it uses the old CGA/RGBI interface. All the CGA adapters ive found dont handle the intensity signal, they are more RGBA compatible.
Apple isn't extorting subsidies, its more like apple is adding fees because the carriers are exerting market control on their products. Apple wouldn't mind selling more phone,s but AT&T and Verizon would so they lock apple into exclusivity contracts to not open their market up to the competition, and thus Apple raises their per phone charge to offset potential profits that could have been made if they sold their phone more widely.
So the carriers shouldn't be moaning at the cost, and the consumers, are not really the decision makers in this US market.

My parents recently got a 52" Internet connected Samsung TV. Any way I could use this to replace the crap Samsung apps with something better?
Sure. Just give me the IP address...
It's 127.0.0.1 - hack away!
ahh, little bobby tables had a job!

I thought there was security issues from buying parts in countries we don't particularly trust.
Note these aren't the same guys working on the Amiga OS
The Amiga mini they use their own re branded Linux Commodore OS. Amiga OS is a totally different animal.

On the Amiga in 1987 it was called Gravity Wars. Still it is a cool idea.

They run ID 4 fine and at a good speed too. It's 5 that dropped PPC support.
CS5 dropped PPC support (which eMacs are) also, so CS6 would require an intel Mac.

I bet the robot insurance premiums will go up as, as robots would next be ripping old folks limbs off to get at their prescription drugs.
