Most (all I've held) sw engineering jobs are very flexible in terms of what hours you work. So with that in mind: there is no reason not to take any number of breaks in the day to go take a short walk or whatever. Just don't bill that time to the client/company. You could also try to get the company to buy you a stand-up desk.
Sounds like you've done a lot of procedural programming. Programming now requires a different mindset than you've probably used in the past. I would recommend the following books: Code Complete: A Practical Handbook of Software Construction is a good book to get you started thinking in a more object-oriented way. Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software is a very practical guide and great shelf reference. These will probably be much more useful to you than being told to go learn x, y, z languages: since they will help you write GOOD code in x, y, z.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but if you isolate one: don't you also isolate the other (kinda the point of isolation)? Then consider the physics of a server room in terms of airflow. You have cold air being pumped to the front of the servers as fast as possible to maintain a temperature (creating a high pressure zone). that air is being passed through the servers and the now hot air is being vented out to be chilled (creating a low pressure zone). So you pass from one aisle to the next you will have some clod air pass to the hot side, but no hot air will pass to the cold side because of the pressure difference.
So in this example we had a 4GB payload that took 2:07:57 to deliver which gives us a data rate of about 4.3 mb/sec. However, currently you can purchase 128MB USB sticks... This gives the homing pigeon a data rate of 136.6 mb/sec! Of course a 128GB USB stick is expensive, but not more so than a decent rack-mount gigabit switch.
I've found that if there is something I need to do I need to do it before I get home from work or as soon as I get home and before I settle down to unwind. Lately I've been getting home changing and going for a run as soon as I get home to avoid losing my motivation. FYI I work a full-time and a part-time job and I'm renovating my new house. So yeah, I understand being busy. I also bought a new pair of running shoes, iPod nano and the Nike+ (if you invest money then you better do it). Plus the metrics and the social aspects of the Nike+ system should help keep me motivated.
The sample size (20-30) is large enough to draw some conjecture from. However, I see the problem being that the sample is not randomly selected and therefore biased.
/dev/sda is USUALLY the primary drive if you're using SATA, but it doesn't have to be. If you're still running a PATA drive it'll probably be/dev/hda. However you should be able to figure it out from the drive icons on the desktop.
As a former intel analyst: I can say that government standard operating procedure for any media containing classified information is physical destruction when it is no longer needed or has failed (paper, floppies, tapes, etc). In fact, if you were in an area with potential hostile contact (tactical MI, Korea,...) then you know where the HDD is inside you equipment. This is so you know where to put the thermite if you are over-run.
Apple wouldn't let them double dip. Now they can charge the advertisers to embed their ads in the program. Then charge the viewer to watch the ads. Boy am I glad I have a DVR... Not only can I watch Heroes when I want; I can skip the commercials pretty easily.
The problem you're describing is easily overcome by quantum computing (along with many other problems in computer science ). What quantum computing promises is the ability to see every solution to a given problem and pick the one it wants.
Consider first a classical computer that operates on a 3-bit register. At any given time, the bits in the register are in a definite state, such as 101. In a quantum computer, however, the qubits can be in a superposition of all [8 of]* the classically allowed states.

So they switch to a new key or use thousands of keys... if the key lengths are all the same then the quantum computer already knows the key and can switch with them. For the time being quantum computing is very limited by the number of qubits it can use for computations and this is the only reason current cryptographic techniques are still useful.
My question would be concerning the sensitivity of the data that is to be presented. Are we talking about sensitive customer information (i.e. ssn's) or a private area (i.e. members only section) or is security not a concern at all (i.e. personal blog)?
PHP has some serious security flaws http://www.php-security.org/ That would make it inappropriate to use for the first case, but fine for anything else. It appears that Ruby security flaws are not as well documented, probably since it's a newer language. However, I also doubt that it would be appropriate for the first case. Simply based on the fact I don't see any financial sites running on either platform.

There is another activity that can display these same symptoms... Reading Addiction!
I work at CompUSA and every Vista Ready PC we've tested with Vista [RC1] hasn't failed to even launch Media Player to play a DVD with out crashing. It seems to me that if a computer meets the minimum requirements: DVD playback should be a no-brainer. I generally don't watch movies on my computers anyhow, but I'll be sticking with my PowerBook.

You're absolutely right. The bride's hair is wrong...

Think of it... Literary nerds, Music nerds, etc... Just need a tweed coat and haughty, self-satisfied air of smugness for the former...

Meh... Stupid typo. Of course, if you didn't figure that out...
