Excellent rays of sunshine for a dreary October morning! The current economy blows and the job market isn't much better. In January I struck out on my own after having been downsized after 10 years of loyal service. Lately I've started toying with the idea of going back to the corporate world. Sadly I now find myself competing for jobs against thousands of hacks who are willing to work for peanuts; a factor which has contributed to the debasing of the pay rate for my line of work. Companies are enjoying a "buyer's market" when it comes to hiring help right now. You know it's bad when you find a skilled professional (accountant, service technician, etc.) working at Kroger bagging groceries just to make ends meet. My son turns 16 this year and has high hopes of getting a part time job and eventually buying a car. He has no concept of what the job market looks like, or the fact that he's going to have to compete against dozens of hungry adults for that job at Chuck E Cheese.

I use Godaddy and am still getting mine. However I did set up a whitelist entry for it.

Excellent write-up. Was the class hosted at the Air Guard base?

So if we're not going to respond to the context of the original post anymore... Anyone else glad that the Titans had a bye-week today?

Again, I'd rather stick to fighting real problems rather than jousting windmills. Way too many hypothetical and imaginary evils in this thread. Next on Coast To Coast... Cattle Mutilations!

Leeroy, you need to go back and read what you quoted again. The 4th Amendment guarantees you reasonable sovereignty in your HOME. It does not guarantee you those things in public. Our forefathers knew what they were doing, you're just distorting what they endeavored to provide. And so what if these "big brother cameras" become used for catching people who litter or commit other petty crimes. A crime is a crime is a crime, right? The same complaint could be lodged against traffic cameras that might catch you running a red-light during the darkest hours of the night when no other souls were around. You still ran a red-light, so you still deserved to get caught. I see a lot of people bellyaching about what-if scenarios, and some of these scenarios involve doing something wrong in the first place. It seems there's an easy solution here. Don't do anything illegal.

It's "fortune" and I think a lot of what is depressing you may be represented in that NFL avatar you have.

If it is a revocable living trust, yes.

My problem with it is that we either have cautious faith in our system and work to fix the things that are real problems, or we become reclusive hermits living completely "off the grid" in the Canadian Rockies and completely shun participation in structured society.

OOOO! Who's watching the people watching Big Brother?!? And who's watching THEM?!?!? Come on. At some point you have to have at least a little faith in the systems of checks and balances put out there.

Nice! An SP-01 will end up in my care one of these days, but that's a nice piece of hardware.

Guy #1: OMG! That guy is noticing things!!!! REPORT HIM!!!!! Guy #2: Dude, you noticed him noticing it... I'm reporting you! Guy #3: WHOA, you noticed him noticing that guy noticing things!!! Guy #4: I'm reporting all of you for noticing that guy noticing that stuff!!!!! ... ad nauseum

Lots of blinking in that video. Actually, lots of good information. Perhaps some of us here have heard of it before? A little thing called "Situational Awareness" ? I swear, when did we start looking down our noses at being aware of what's going on around us and doing our civic duty by reporting things that don't look kosher? Did I miss something? Is being a good citizen now bad just because Obama's in the White House? At no point in that video did they tell you to report your neighbor with the NRA sticker on his car, or the guy who goes to Temple every Saturday. Some of you need to loosen the tinfoil a little.

Wow... there are some pretty odd and completely incorrect notions floating around in this thread. Tap, rack, bang. Practice it. Live it, learn it, love it.

I met a lot of people at the event but couldn't meet them all. Unfortunately she was one of them. Please post up more info. If she's registered here, perhaps she should start a thread and tell us more about it.

I don't know if there is one or not. Search it out. If not, start one.

I'm waiting on quantity of each size available and will then add it to the TGO Store. Sorry for the delay.

Careful! JHatmaker posted a pic similar to that and got someone really pissed off at him before.

Yep, I have the 900 for my current workstation case. Works great.

It has to be aged a few years before they can uncork it.

That Windows 2007 is like a fine wine.

Nope. OS-X murders Linux. It's a *Nix operating system with real-world support from a major manufacturer and the entire software industry. Linux will never enjoy that. I run Windows on my PCs and Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro. I love them both for different reasons.

Link to that? I ordered my Win 7 64-bit OEM pack from NewEgg today for $139 shipped.

I'm completely out of horse heads, though. We're probably going to start using hamsters for this. I realize that the impact made by a hamster head is nowhere near the same, but times are tough and we can get hamsters by the caseload.
