Well, I can't remember if you said you're living alone or not, but if you are I don't see why you couldn't intern for a company or two. If you're considering law school I'm going to guess you're still fairly young. Why not hit up some firms and see if they'd take on a lacky? Make some impressions, see how things go and maybe that'll turn out to be the right direction. Sure, you might have to cut back on the high life for a while, but it'll be worth it in the end.
The biggest thing that I've learned so far, however, is that finding the right job and path through life is all about the people you know. Interning will do that. So will making the right friends. Personally I'm in a similar situation to you. I'm not overworked, but I've been dying in this small town that I live in. In my case, I've made up my mind and I'm planning on moving out to the bay area somewhere around June. I'm saving money right now and as soon as I have a few thousand I'm going to drop everything, toss what won't fit in my car and just take off. It's a scary thought, but sometimes you just have to do it.
Personally, I don't see how they're doing evil right now in the first place. If they didn't censor, they'd just be blocked like the GP said. This is something that's beyond Google's control at the moment. The best thing they can do is keep with the market so that maybe they can make a difference in the future if they so desire. Alternatively, at least the revenue that they're making in China can go to projects like this one that they're currently funding.
Only if you leave that section unlocked. Press the lock and you're required to enter a username and password. In the end, though, you shouldn't be running as Administrator anyway.
I'd be a little woried about the fin spacing, though. The last time they released a CPU cooler like that they were quite prone to dust clogging them up and frying chips.
Out of the.9 million geeks on Slashdot, how many do you think would actually be willing and able to do a march on D.C.?
I really wonder about that... Personally I'd be very willing and I'd make myself available whether it was convienient or not. I think there are quite a few others that would as well. You're right in one way, though. Until a good leader steps up to the plate, it's likely that nothing will happen.
Ok, so we should be doing something about this. What can we do? Everything I see just says "write your senator and tell them you don't like this". If I thought that would actually work I might try it, but these guys just get paid off by the big companies and it would never have any effect. I'm willing to do what it takes to keep freedom alive, but no-one seems to have an answer as to what that might be.
Even there was something that caused machines running spybot to currupt images, how do we know that Spybot is actually the cause? Maybe the bug is in Ghost. Giving Symantec the benefit of the doubt, the better solution would have been for them to get in touch with the makers of spybot and give them some information about what's going on. This just seems like they're throwing a tantrum like an angry 8 year old.

I don't see that in iTunes 6 on the Mac at my office. Is this only for PCs or something?
Anyway, I love having new music reccomended for me. I have an account at Last.FM set up to do just that for me. It keeps track of every song I listen to, rates the artists I listen to most as well as the albums and songs I listen to most. It even has a community feature where you can find people with similar music tastes.
Just because we understand something doesn't make it any less wonderful.
Uh, yes it does actually. Learning how something works inevitably takes the magic out of it. I don't wonder how sunsets happen because I know. I don't wonder how a microwave heats up my food or how my car drives down the road. www.howstuffworks.com told me how it all works, so the wonder is gone.
That being said, it doesn't necessarily strip the appreciation from any of those things. I still see beauty in a sunset and the starry night sky is still sublime to me.
Thanks for the link. I can't believe that not only was there no link to it in the story, but there wasn't a link to it in the stories linked to by the story. I went probably 3 or 4 links deep and couldn't find anything.
I agree here. Personally I find it relaxing to click through the websites that interest me. I don't need some RSS aggregator to bring all of the headlines into one location. I think where RSS is going to be useful is taking content from one site and displaying it on another. Podcasting uses RSS effectively as well. I think once they get away from the idea of viewing RSS feeds directly we might see some really interesting things happen.
I hear that constantly, but actually it's the biggest thing that turned me away from Cocoa programming. I'm far from a professional coder, but I just can't get my head around building interfaces and connecting them to the code with all of these menus. I'd much rather just write the code myself. Maybe after working with it for a while I'd learn to like it, but it made it hard for me to get into it and I ended up going for Java instead.
joke n.
1. Something said or done to evoke laughter or amusement, especially an amusing story with a punch line.
2. A mischievous trick; a prank.
3. An amusing or ludicrous incident or situation.
4. Informal.
I believe the parent remark does, in fact, fit this definition. Thus a moderation of Funny would make a hell of a lot more sense. Get a life people.

To be fair, Service Pack 2 went a long way to fixing some of these problems. There's still quite a journey left to travel, though.

If it makes you feel any better, I thought it was pretty stupid in the first place.
Not really, because it's mostly based on NeXTSTEP which was based on UC Berkeley's BSD quite a while ago.

That's quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I shouldn't be forced to clean my computer out weekly for fear of a meltdown.

Personally I got a kick out of that one.
Funny, I've been running as a non-privledged user for about 2 months now and I haven't had any trouble at all.
For the WMF exploit, though, it doesn't matter because the code is granted system privledges.
Yeah, but that tree already kicked his ass for us so we have to find someone else to be annoyed at.

No doubt. Why do you care if he makes a little extra on the side? Technical manuals are expensive. Cut him some slack.
P.S. Yes, I know the OP was joking.
I believe the parent remark does, in fact, fit this definition. Thus a moderation of Funny would make a hell of a lot more sense. Get a life people.
I thought I was the only one annoyed by that. It's good to see there are others out there.
Thank GOD that didn't happen.
