Seconded.
ET was the first multiplayer FPS I ever got into.
It was absolutely confusing at first, but once I stepped back and ran through the maps locally to figure out what the hell was going on, I loved it.
You really get a sense of accomplishment from team-based FPSs that deathmatching can't get you. And ET is a wonderful team-based FPS. When you're new, the people on your side can take up your slack a little and you can learn from watching them. Strategy and tactics are very important. I'm still discovering new tactics eight months after starting.
I'm even to the point now where I carefully calibrate my mouse, spend way to much time tweaking graphics settings, and set my FPS to 125 so I can strafe-jump just that little bit farther.
We are, though. Soulseek has a reasonable amount of classical music, and there are several good IRC channels to swap classical on. If it can be digitized, someone somewhere is going to upload/download it.
Horrible advice. Do want you want to do, or what you think might be most profitable, or what other people want you to do - it doesn't matter. You have an equal likelyhood of being screwed out of a job by outsourcing no matter what you do.
Slashdot Mirror
For something claiming to be "the fastest Web server ever". It certainly doesn't seem to be standing up to a slashdotting very well.

That thing probably weighs about as much as a slab of carbonate, too.
