So according to what you are saying there was NO "GREAT NORTHEAST BLACKOUT" last year... You are a moron if you think any state run public infrstructure is "Excellent". The power companies and the state Both suck, and were both at fault for the blackout, so there goes your theroy, try another...
Hi I'm a Sr. level Network Engineer. I have a degree from UMass in Management Info Systems not Comp Sci. You will need a degree no matter what others might say, as no one will hire you without one. Upon graduation I found a basic IT job and managed to start to "hang around" with the Network Guy's I slowly developed a rapport with them and convinced them over the course of the year I was at the company to show me the ropes. I then started to twist my job position into what I perceived I wanted. I checked with my manager and told him a head of time that I wanted to have a goal of having more networking involved in my job. He said it was all right and that gave me the go-ahead to Alter my job description and more importantly embellish my resume' to reflect more networking. A note of caution, DO NOT under any circumstances put something on your resume' that you cannot back up with at least knowledge in the subject. I have interviewed many people over the years and I usually give a basic skills test for networking, and it never fails to weed out the "Wanna-bees" to the real networking people.
After One calendar year (to the day) at that Job I interviewed at A very prestigious company in Biotech that is connected with MIT. I received the position there at Network Administrator. After four months my boss left the company, then my bosses boss left. Essentially leaving me totally responsible for the networking for the company running 47% of the federal governments Human Genome project, and many other projects as well. I tried to utilize the time without restraints as much as possible, or so I thought. I wrote up what I thought was a forward thinking plan to change out the network and make it more reliable/faster. Then I received news that my boss's boss position had been filled (IT Director). It turns out that they gave her a proverbial "Blank Check" to start off her budget as the Budget deadlines had already passed. She then came to me and told me to re-write my budget with everything I could possibly use and install in the course of the year. My revamped budget was for just under a Million dollars and had me gutting and rebuilding the entire companies network. It went great, and with minimal downtime. Everyone was greatly impressed with the speed and reliability increases. However then the trouble started. I was promoted half way through the year to Sr. Network Engineer, and someone was hired in as a "Peer", however through sabotage this peer managed to start people pointing the finger at me. I was eventually pushed out. My advise for you about this part is to always watch your back!
My Final advice is to pick a good school, the best you and your parents can afford. Get a degree in what you can, If you can handle Comp Sci, that defiantly get it, though realize those guys that were having it easy in Info Systems wind up getting almost the same jobs as Comp-Sci. After Graduation get a basic IT job that pays you enough money and or will pay for some courses. Get you CCNA at least, however going beyond the CCNA is better but leads down two paths, security or networking. After a year or so at the Basic IT position start getting your resume' out for the Networking field. Defiantly use every option available to you, Headhunters, networking, web sites, etc The economy is still relatively tight so the "pure" networking positions are hard to come by with out good real world experience and the education to back it up....
"It's a trademark, not a copyright. So far the courts have upheld this mark." Well then couldn't the originators of XWindows take that trademark away from M$ Windows as the Unix version of XWindows was out before Micro$loth's version...

Personally I think it is very screwed up that a court would give Micro$loth the "copyright" on the word Windows. Especially seeing as even they coppied it from XWindows. I would like to see them explain themselves out of the fact they themselves stole the name...

I waited almost 2 years for the game to come out, I'm so glad that it finally did, though the design pack was not included so I had to buy a windows version and a crappy old PIII to run it on. I have my PIII running headless connected to my mac (G5Dual2gig w/23"lcd) via Micro$loth's remote desktop client.
I'm sorry but your experiance is not normal. I'm using Panther on my G5 and I see my Whole LAN. The windows PCs and the Macs. I'm not sure why it is not working for you...
What are you, An Idiot? If the power goes out you computer turns off, and like any other computer, if it is actively writing to the disk they may dammage/destroy data...

Duh
If you really don't like the noise, upgrade. I have a G5 Dual and it is virtually silent. Between the 23"lcd and the computer the white noise in a quiet room is louder...
Albums are up to $18:( the last time I bought an album here was a couple years ago... However I was visiting my girlfriends family in Buenous Aries this past July. While there I bought 10 albums for 150 pesos, after the exchange rate kicked in it came to $5 US per album. Now I only wish I could buy DVDs while I'm there:(
Really, because as you read this I'm listening to an mp3 on iTunes Tourniquet by Marilyn Manson. and think you should put one on your neck to save the gene pool...
There is a way to research an artist as you requested, ( http://www.gracenote.com/music/ ) however it is just a database and has no purchacing options. Grace Note is the front end of the internet's CD Database (CDDB).

Thank God, I hope it sticks...

BobBecause that would be too easy and would not allow Micro$loth to "Own" the rights so it could force everyone else to make the changes that M$ wants.

I can say with certanty that if the camera has a USB (1 or 2) or an IEEE1394(Apple Firewire or Sony Ilink) it will work without modification.
