This is bullshit, I have recorded "What you hear" in Windows 7, playing music from Winamp and recording on the Windows sound recorder just to see if it works, and it does, no problems!
The soundcard I used is a Creative SB Audigy 2 with drivers 6.0.1.1241
Website, easy, think of a website like a huge multidrawer filing cabinent, each drawer is a website containing "webpages", each webpage is a collection of text, images, sounds, links to other webpages, etc.. When you click on a link you are whisked off to another webpage on another website.
A Forum would be a section of a website (or a whole website in itself) where topics are posed, and people converse about them, in private or public.
Sounds like this would be a good way, however i am somewhat biased being a technogeek.
I actually got 3 diploma's in college (in Canada they dont give out degree's in college, only uni, so they are comparable to Associate or Bachelors degree's) because I wasnt sure what I wanted to do, took longer than most people would like to spend at college, but now I can rotate between careers easily every few years when I get bored of that specific thing, all of them are in the tech based because I love technology, but after a while I get bored of that field and I have the ability to easily move into one of the other's, and as long as I keep up to date, its no problem. It may have cost more in the beginning (although College is cheap up here) I think it was one of my best choices, or... lack of choices.
I guess what I'm getting at is maybe you can get an associates in another field, through correspondance or something, and as far as I know (at least up here) you can use real world experience to get credits.
I dont see why someone wouldnt just build an embedded open-source solution, wouldnt be that difficult to develop a system that runs off a microcontroller like a dsPIC, with a touch screen, printer, barcode scanner and some speech synthesis (for the blind), could be written in C++, and the hardware would be open source as well.
a Guy named Paul M. Brown, of Peripheral Systems, did this back in like, the 80's, but he used Strontium-90 as the 'fuel' because it also goesnt give off gamma radiation, but only alpha and beta particles, his battery could put out something crazy like 7500 watts per gram of SR-90.

It probably charges a battery or capacitors during normal use, and uses that energy to power the RAM and the circuitry needed to wake the machine up.

I've heard more about the ice on greenland being a problem than the ice caps

You can read about it here http://www.rexresearch.com/nucell/nucell.htm [rexresearch.com], his battery design was patented under the company Nucell or something.
To bad he died back in 2001, mysterious hit n' run. Auto/Oil Industry Conspiracy!!!!
