I'm just wondering when the RIAA is going to sue someone who doesn't have anything to lose, and this person resorts to violence? Or - has this already happened and the incident(s) has/have been swept under the rug?
I started doing tech support for Disney Interactive and then AT&T Worldnet. Kind of help-desk-ish. It sucked more than a help desk position would have, because they were customers - not employees of the same company you worked for. I've been screamed at, chewed out, blamed.... and I even impersonated Mickey Mouse at one time. Almost got fired for that - Disney is the G-rated mafia.
And there you have the OP's answer: go into health care! Go back to school and become a nurse. But wait, what if he doesn't LOVE doing that? Now he's back to square one. So, he should just stay where he is, find out how to get excited about IT again, and take care of his family.
Wow, it's like I woke up and/. is now AboveTopSecret.com. If I want my alien/conspiracy/"contrails are actually sprayed chemicals" theories, I'll go there thankyouverymuch.
War is not OK. Ever. But most of the time I think that the technology that we use to destroy each other is simply awe inspiring... and I grew up on an AF base.

Don't forget Range Rover, or is that the same company? Also, an Indian discovered Algebra, if I remember my Math History course.

I didn't think it was funny at all. And I'm the one with terrible karma? WTF??
I sure would - to a drive with little disks spinning at about 7500 RPM.
Difficult or non-existent data recovery from the SSD? I don't like that.
I think that they meant to say that they have studied the pelvis of the Neanderthal and determined that this is what their FARTS sounded like.
And I'm the one with terrible karma? Wake up, mods!
You are seriously dating yourself, just like I am without asking, "What's Webcrawler?".
You have a GREAT idea! One problem though - how are you going to draft behind a rocket powered car?
At that creepy cult compound that the Rangers just raided? I installed Windows just because of that. Nice.

Maybe it's just that the US has deeper poverty in the rural areas and those people can't afford broadband or simply don't care for it.
Well, he did say "reinstall", which is actually the correct procedure for a machine with Symantec software installed. He didn't mention with which OS.
I have an EXCELLENT recipe for cat soup if anyone wants it, BTW.
I'm not sure that "honkeys" is derogatory enough. Maybe "crackers" would have been better? Can someone shed some light on this?
I would like an F-22, please, and a plethora of things to hang on the hard points. I'll figure out how to fly it later. Thank you.
I would hate to eat a stake every day... now a STEAK, on the other hand, would be awesome. I just don't have the budget right now.
You, sir, have outstanding taste in beer. And I'll take a pint.
I can't believe that Harley "My-Brand-New-Bike-Breaks-Down-On-The-Side-Of-The-Road" Davidson made #4. Really?
I, for one, welcome our robotic overlords. And...
In Soviet Russia, robots control YOU!
HA! Beat that!
