Believe it or not there are still a few honest sources for news. CBC is a good source, and have for many many years reported both sides of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Fox on the other hand has a serious bias, which is sad and a dis-service to genuine news reporters.
I find it so annoying that people collapse, and give in, when some corporation / public insitution tell a person to stop doing something.
I've been dealing with a pharmaceutical company for over two years and am currently the target of a lawsuit for libel and interference with economic interest because of my website. However, without the website, many people would be unaware that this company had serious violations the Food & Drug Act. But it needs to be said, and I won't back down.
Take a stand and hold your position. Most of the time if you hold on long enough you will win.
If you are not a US Adsense user you cannot do the Firefox referal. I'm from Canada and don't have the Firefox option. This info is available on the Adsense Blog.
I would have to say the Biochemistry is your best bet. That whole area of research is becoming dependent of computer technology. Datamining is a large part of genetic research along with molecular modeling (proteins) and distributed computer systems. Also, take a look at SGI (www.sgi.com) and see what they are doing. Their core business is focusing on areas where computers and science converge.
Try blowing the whistle on your boss! My former boss was pretty much an idiot so I contacted the appropriate agency (Health Canada) and informed them of his indescretions. I was fired of course.
A year later we are still fighting. Legal threats, vilification and the always fun 'disgruntled employee' were his weapons of choice.
The funny thing was that because I used Linux, for the server, and he didn't know how to operate it, he blamed me for it? He portrayed it a some sinister plot to control him.
There's an excellent program called Servoy (www.servoy.com) that is a zero deployment client based Java. The form development is very similar to MS Access and uses Javascript as it's scripting language.
Since Servoy is build using Java it can run on any OS with Java support (1.3 and above).
You can download a free (limited number of connections) copy of the server and development environment.
The first thing is to make sure you've eaten something healthy with carbohydrates (brain fuel) and low fat.
Secondly, make a todo list that's broken down into smaller task (i.e. not 2 big tasks but maybe 10 small ones) and keep crossing then off, this way you see the project moving forward.
Third, space you caffeine out, too much can make you jumpy and you loose your concentration.
You really have to feel sorry for SGI. They were in the Linux game years before most companies but the software support wasn't there (PTC included). Now they axed all of their Linux services and hardware only to miss the boat.
Combine this with Weta (sp) in New Zealand buying 150 shinny new Linux workstations, from IBM, and you really have to think that SGI didn't make a very smart business decision.
Just look at the auto industry. GM, Ford, Chrysler began the North American market by consolidating all the smaller auto companies and dominated for years. Then along came Honda, Toyota, Nissan and now they have made huge gains.
The fact is that even though it looks impossible to overcome Intel at this point, someday someone will.
As early as the 1950's military aircraft were using force feedback so the pilots could "feel" the plane. Fly by wire was just not intuitive without the feedback part. The first plane that I know used this was the Avro Arrow.
Ghost Script should be able to view these since they are binary PostScript files. Also, if you download Adobe Acrobat you should have no problem reading them. Also, there are a couple of free PDF viewers for Linux, just search Google.
Text files are great for basic text, but honestly PDF has many advantages (i.e. consistant layout, graphics, cross platform). I have made these sheets to look good for those that like "eye candy".
The documents are Licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License, so if someone wants to make a text document by all means go ahead. I just like to use PDF.
I have developed a couple of "cheat sheets" for the Canadian Linux Users Group. The following sheets available include:
Linux Command Card
Slackware System Reference
File System Hierarchy
Samba Configuration
I have a couple for SQL Databases but they are not on the site yet. All these sheets are in PDF format so new users who use Windows can get the commands prior to installing Linux. Also, experienced Linux users will know how to read a PDF.
The Taliban haven't murdered anyone, the group led by bin Laden has, but then again do we really know? All extremist actions (whether software, or religion) lead to bad judgement and allientation in the end.
Has anyone noticed the extremeist tendencies of some elements of the Open Source Community? By attacking Caldera this group pushes Caldera further. Why would a company stay if they are being attacked all the time.
Same issue with the Taliban, the more we hammer them the more extreme they will become. Remember it's a few individuals that ruin it for the whole. Also, I have noticed some backlash to RMS lately, probably becuase he is so extreme in his protection of the GNU projects.
Anyway, without money Linux will always be first runner up. So companies that try to make money with Linux should be applauded not attacked.
Sorry, I'm Canadian so I hear a lot about free speech and try to understand it more. Canada is a little stricter on free speech. Example: you can be charged for spreading racial hatred
So now you expect pilots to be cops also? Some people just like to fly, not be the security gaurds of the world (or plane). What happens if the pilot dies in a shoot out? Or hostage situations (killing stewardesses and passengers)
If the airlines can afford stewards they can afford to have plain clothed security guards on flights. Problem solved.

I recently came across a research article on Nutra Ingredients that said properties of the black currant help fight memeory loss and Alzhiemers.

This seems to be a typical Canada/US relation. It's like the old saying goes:
"When you sleep with an elephant, if it rolls, you roll."

Try the Axentra Home Series servers http://www.axentra.com/

They H-50 uses a VIA C3 800 MHz processor which is low power. I actually like the setup and configuration options. Also, the e-mail system is great.

Of course I put a website up detailing his behaviour http://www.snakeoil.ca/.

Try it, I've been very happy with it.
The first thing is to make sure you've eaten something healthy with carbohydrates (brain fuel) and low fat.

Third, space you caffeine out, too much can make you jumpy and you loose your concentration.
Fourth, try some supplements like Natural Factors PS IQ Memory it may help.
Finally, when all else fails leave the room and go for a walk, avoid surfing Slashdot, it corrupts the mind!

Actually, they call that Communism. I prefer a social concience but not out right control.
Why don't you just ask??? Go to your boss and start a dialogue. Use that information to make a sound judgement, don't Ask Slashdot what you should do.
Your 19, don't expect to be the president of the company in a few years.

It's a very old quote from the Inuit in Canada and Alaska. I've heard other adaptations of it but this source is the original.

Microsoft gain the authority to restrict free speech? Doesn't the US Constitution guarantee the right to say what you want?
