Cut back on some bills. Try, for instance, to reduce your payments on internet, use less water/electricity. Find cheaper sources of food. Then, work less overtime. Now you have more free time to job hunt. You might get real tight on money at the time, but if you can find a better job, it'll be worth it!
I don't always recommend Open Source. Lets say someone is on windows and uses MS Office. They paid for Windows and Office, so they should just leave it on there and use it.
Open Source just saves people lots of money!
If you had used Windows or a Mac, or had used someone else's Mac, then you would need this encoder. The guys who helped make this encoder spent months working on this project, and continue to work on it. This might help push more people to use linux (to switch) and have more univeral applications.
It's because the "cool kids" beat them up.
Then again, there are less programmers because people aren't AWARE of most of the things that go on (e.g. programming, them being sent overseas, etc).
Dont be so harsh on ourselves. Look at those who succeed as programmers AND who get some. Except maybe the geek girls are all already takem:/ )
Just my thoughts!
And yet schools still have MACs. Hopefully, schools will learn to cluster those machines and do some serious work (or SETI/Folding@Home:P)
This will probably push some more macs out!
Well, I lived through this storm, checking my PC upstairs to make sure nothing was going to damage it. If the storm was risking the roof flying off and my room becoming flooded, I would have taken out my hdd. This sounds like a brilliant idea.
Hey, it beats trying to store data to gmail accounts!;)
Well, I am in Hurricane Warning, and the storm is going to hit us. My shutters are up and all. At least this time, NASA didn't have a shuttle on dock. With past hurricanes, they always had to move those. NASA is already ready, but I don't think they will have much damage. They put the sattelites in plastic bags and it's original packing *insert joke here*
Well, since the Palm Beach Post is my local newspaper (yay!) and I have seen the butterfly ballots and touch-screen voting, I find all of this confusing! If you "evote" and only certain counties use paper trail, will the rest be "oh well, nevermind the votes, just make em all for Bush!"? Why is it only in Florida?
I think it's the old people here (who drive at 10mph on all roads)!
Now we should patent the "system tray" and the taskbar. We should patetent everything! If we each patetented one thing and told Microsoft they cant use it, but open source people can, then we'd win! I'm patetening the clipboard:p
Well, if you are there now, you can tell it is going slooooooowwww... Good Game Slashdot.
Same thing happened to thinkgeek.com when the slashdot effect hit them!
You can get cheap computers from the trash, donations, bulk, etc. You can use that cluster to mirror your data once or twice. I don't know what data you have, but if you have the same data on more than 1 different hard drive, you can be rest assured it will be fine. Or you can just print it all!
The stockmarket is backed up to three (or more?) seperate locations. Look into NVRAM (e.g. flash media) or a cluster with all those hard drives linked together, with a constant backup. With the builtin IDE controller on most motherboards, you can hook up to 4 Hard Disk Drives. If you add SATA, RAID, SCSI, and IDE, you can have lots of hardrives on one machine!
You could also rotate hard drives, so they arent constantly used (making the whole system last a LOT longer!) or replace the drives that are about to fail (which would be at least in 3 years!). Most Hard Drives could probably handle 5 to 10 years no prob (maybe even 20 if they are rotated!).
It all depends on what you have and what you want to do!

Good luck mate!

China is communist, the government will repair the home.
:D).
Maybe here in florida we should put our hurricane shutters up in case they mess up and a sattelite or shuttle decides to pay us a little visit.
What would be worse though? It landing in a hacker's home (h4x0r: a sattleitzor landed in my h0us3!!! I R TEH 1337! Har Har!

It's exactly the same!
At the time of this writing, though, you could not access shopping.hp.com! Can anyone correct me if I am wrong?
