Kyle Reese: Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
once you jump through the hoops the first time it works out to about $1-2 USD/IP address. This is based on a request of a/22 which is still considered a "micro-allocation."
XP Pro regularly BSODs with various errors while running games. Though I know for a fact its it the Nvidia driver (piece of crap). Still, this is engineering that allows a device driver to halt the system.
I'm a former Psychiatric Social Worker. The hardest part about understanding and empathizing with someone with Schizophrenia is that a healthy mind really can't understand what it is like. The fundamental thought processes in schizophrenia are off...so where you and I might be able to make a logical and reasoned conclusion that A and B therefore C. Schizophrenia often messes that up to the point where A and B therefore Bannana and ALWAYS snakes. And that would be perfectly reasonable to someone with schizophrenia because they cannot concieve of it otherwise.
I've worked with people with very severe and active positive symptoms (symptoms that are in excess of normal behavior) like auditory and visual hallucinations. At times it was hard to even communicate becasue the hallucinations were so intrusive.
I remember attending a workshop about schiozphrenia (bear in mind there are 5 types of schizophrenia) and we took turns wearning headphones that played a simulation of auditory hallucinations. It was pretty disturbing. It played for about 30min and changed volume and the sound on the tape was intermittent. The content varied from really annoyoing buzzes and beeps to whispered speech and ocassional screaming or demands to perform some action. The idea is that would be the NORM for someone with schizophrenia.
There is hope however, despite the medication conspiracy theorists, the folks that I worked with felt so much better while taking their medication. Many had their symptoms reduced to manageable levels and could hold down jobs, live on their own in an apartment and have a social life.
I would suggest working very close with your sisters psychiatrist and asking the doc about support resources that he/she knows about. Learn all you can about and be an active participant in treatment planning.
There is a lot of good and bad info on the web so be careful there. Schizophrenia.com is a good place to start.
ROFL

I mean look a the guy.

BTW does RMS have a/. user account or does he post AC....hmmmm
CS is NOT the only option if you go to college (which you should). Read on:
It can only benefit you to suck it up and earn at least a BA/BS. Having great IT skills (whether in programming or administrating) is only one part of the picture.
I know a number of IT working professionals that have said they are glad they had some exposure to disciplines like psychology(for dealing w/ users/management), ecomonics/business (can often help in understanding the bigger picture and your place in it), and anything in the humanities (literature, philosophy, foreign languages).
A lot of the knowledge you can glean from "non-CS" areas will help you be a more effective person. No joke. Employers respect someone who can communicate well by demonstrating a extenisive vocabulary or someone that can empathize/indentify with an opposing perspective.
This may sound like it comes from "Chicken Soup for the Soul" but I feel that "liberal arts" education plays an important role in your marketablity and versatility in the job market. (not to mention having a breadth of interests and knowledge make you an more interesting person...)
My two cents. (of course, college may not help you be a better typist!)

This is simple google arbitrage. Too bad that its not working anymore, but this has always struck me as trying to game the system.
