    I've got the Sheevaplug that has the Marvell SoC. Its got an SD interface, 512 MB ram, USB 2.0 and the size of a wall wart. It is running Ubuntu and I have it scheduled to pick up torrent files nightly. Cost $99 for the Sheevaplug and $14 for the SD card. For additional space a .5TB hard drive can be connected via the USB for those really big files.

  10. Re:Wow a President that plans ahead!!! on Obama Launches Change.gov · · Score: 0

    If you think Bush didn't plan ahead you are uninformed. Bush did plan ahead but, where he differs from Obama is that Obama is transparent, open, and asking for input. Bush didn't need any input as he and his cohorts had already made up their minds.

  19. I'm 50 and still going on Where Do All of the Old Programmers Go? · · Score: 0

    I have retooled my skills many times and expect to retool many more. I like the challenge of programming/IT and am willing to learn new cool stuff as it comes along and evaluate its applicabilities. I know that some managers think that if you are over 40 you can't do "programming". I had a job interview at a National Lab and the manager (thrity something) say that she couldn't imagine that she would be able to contribute when she got near retirement. I didn't take the job. Keep your skill sharp and you'll do ok.
