Well I used to have AT&T for cable tv, now it will be comcast again (thank you FCC!). Actually I think AT&T is clueless about cable tv, it took them two days to figure out that a truck took out a main feed in my neighborhood and our cable tv was out. Reason: most of the neighborhood has switched to directtv rather than use at&t cable! That and I have to call an operator in Atlanta to report an outage in Fort Lauderdale! STUPID!
Do you live in Florida? (I'm ashamed to admit I do.) And the bozos in the election dept still don't have a clue. You were worried about the 'greens'. Considering that the green party siphoned off enough votes from Gore to give Bush the election guess you were right.
Sometimes moving isn't an option. While unemployed I did mention to my wife that we might have to move, but the fact is the IT/Tech market is tight almost everywhere in this country. Then there are considerations such as the kids having to start all over in a new school and make new friends. Better to move between school years.
If I did land a job elsewhere and move I might find myself unemployed elsewhere. I'd rather be unemployed right where I am (South Florida) than in some one horse town elsewhere, or in snowy Beantown or Crazytown Ca. It's not like the jobs moved from here to there, they just disappeared everywhere.
Your advise was probably good a year or two ago. Right now with so many firms laying off tech people it's an employer's market. Locally here in SFla Motorola is looking for contractors and they are willing to pay $30-33/hr and not a penny more. I can't tell if they have actually hired anyone, but I can tell you that the same job has been posted multiple times by different agencies on the 'net.
After being laid off a former employer (not the one who laid me off) offered me contract work (through an agency which means that they are paying the agency a fair extra chunk over what I am getting, but at least I don't have to pay my own extra share of FICA and unemployment tax IS being paid). The hourly rate doesn't even come close to your formula, but it's still better than anyone else is offering. I don't get any insurance out of the deal (the agency does offer something after 400hrs but it SUCKS). Still I feel lucky to land this, hopefully by the time the contract is over more employers will hiring, and there might even be a hire position where I am now later next year. At least this way my foot is in the door. Not burning your bridges behind you (or in front of you!) is always a good idea.

Remember Gene Roddenbery? He came up with a transporter because the model shots of shuttlecraft landing would have been too expensive to shoot every week. That transporter was accepted into science fiction as just that fiction; yet slashdot is full of article about how one discovery or another is getting us one step closer to that reality.

Guess what? Einstein's theories included a thing called quantom teleportation. Einstein himself said he didn't believe it, but the math leaded into that direction. And scientists using high energy physics have actually disasembled subatomic particles and reasembled them elsewhere....teleporting or transporting them. The star trek transporter is an infinite degree more complicated than this, but the basic theory has been proven true! Actually building the thing is another matter, very likely never to happen.
The atmosphere provides most of our protection from cosmic rays. The magnetic field does NOT protect at all over the poles which may explain the ozone holes the pop up from time to time. Yet there is little more cosmic radiation on the ground over the poles then anywhere else.
I had built my own 6" telescope out of commerically made parts back in the 70's when mars was also at a close opporsition and well visiable. I think I was able to see the polar ice caps and some surface detail at 200X. Not too bad from NYC with a scope mounted on a home brew equatorial mount made out of pipes. I now have two 7" glass disks and hope to grind a mirror for a new scope, hope I can complete the project in time for mars in August. (If not mars will be close again in two more years, though not quite as good).
Perhaps you can wrap an eula around the gpl for your software. Consider this, you release your driver under the GPL under the condition that ONLY the software is covered by the GPL. The end user may NOT copy any details of the hardware reveiled by the code, and such details are under copyright or covered by patent. Consider that if you DO patent any of the details of your hardware, anyone can view your patents anyway (they are public record) so keeping the source code closed doesn't really hide these details.
I won't use a wireless home network, or an rf wireless keyboard. I also will only divulge private information over a landline hard wired phone. Cordless phones and even cell phones are NOT good security. True landline phones can be tapped into, but there are some ways to detect this.
Now IR wireless keyboards should be ok. The range isn't as good but it is good enough for the couch potato.
The area of NJ just west of Staten Island NYC is (or at least was in the 1970's) full of oil cracking plants and gasoline storage tanks. The area around the Polassky Skyway is particularly smelly. Anyway back in the '70's I remember hearing a loud explosion from my house in Brooklyn (Gravesend section not far from Coney Island) and looking out my window to the west (had a view of the Verrazonno bridge) saw a huge fireball rising from the direction of Staten Island. 'My God!' I thought, 'The Russians missed and dropped a nuke on NJ!" Well, what actually happened was one of those oil cracking plants or gasoline storage tanks blew up big time! Took a week to get the fire out. PU!

They can suspend the account. They CAN'T hold email hostage, they must close access at BOTH ends of the pipe. If they closed her account properly anyone sending her email would have it bounce and would know the message did not get through, and perhaps try another means of contact.

The cable movie networks (showtime, movie channel, hbo, cinemax, etc) don't have commericals (except for themselves and sometimes each other). The other networks (usa, nick, history, etc) do, but then again you don't pay very much for them. For one nonimal fee you get 20 or more cable channels, and your cable company pays very little to provide them (just for the equipment mostly). So the only way USA et all pay their bills is to sell time, just like the 'big three'. OTOH YOU are paying for the movie networks directly. Just because it's cable don't mean it's paid for.
They havn't used some of the new characters from toystory 2 (though some of the names might not work). How about a release called Stinky Pete? Why not Andy? What's wrong with Jesse? Zorg? (I forgot the name of Woody's horse).
Can be a royal PITA, and Dselect isn't the only problem. Some of the install questions are pure greek to the average linux newbe, and many current users of other distros. Dselect's UI is often user hostile.
But..... I've managed to install Bo, Slink, Potato, and now Woody. I suffered with Dselect on the first two, found apt-get a refreshing change with Potato, and later used gnome-apt. Now if deb-config would get cleaned up..... I still wouldn't use any other distro.
I used to have some VHS made for time shifting, they were sold with multiple re-use in mind. I got several seasons of startrek voyager on them (over 50 re-uses) with no lose of quality (in two hour mode though). OTOH average Scotch or TDK brand tapes seem to wear out after less than 5 uses. So it can be done, too bad I havn't seen those re-taping tapes in the store lately. At double the usual price for VHS tapes, they were worth it.
Did any of the astronauts who went to the moon come down with cancer? They got beyond the earth's magnetic field and the shielding on the apollo spacecraft might not have been good enough either. (guess we need the deflector array off the USS Enterprise?)
