It's old(ish) hardware. Running XP on a Thinkpad T43p. Whenever I scrounge up the monies (and a newer, longer-term, better paying, job) I'll probably get a newer set of hardware. Whether that be a small-ish desktop running one of AMDs new A8 Fusion chips, or a laptop, I have not decided yet.....

Never understood the left/right nuances, so I generally don't talk politics to that many people, honestly.....

All you need to know? Assuming most use Windows.

I dunno what companies you've seen with their lax policies, but every single day I go into work, I do a backup. One day a week I do two. It's a 6-day rotating backup.

Then again it's a newspaper......Take that as you will.

There is nothing telling me why Comodo is #1. No testing methodology, cost, what the colors mean, etc.

Nice way to get page views on your blog, though!

Have you asked if any code you've written is yours? Whether it belongs to you or not is something the company must decide, I think. Especially if they were written, tested, etc, on company time.

If anything, I think, if you have written them, and they are not company-specific (but possibly industry-specific), you could just release them, whether binary-only, or open source, is up to you.

Can you re-create, or modify the existing code without your employers' resources (specific IDEs and their quirks, etc)?

The only OS/hardware maker that has all of that built-in, is Apple.

Closer to something akin to SpiderBots in Deus Ex: Invisible War. Handy little things, and cute anthropomorphic at the same time!

Welcome to 2009.

Via the comment system over there, I posted the IPv6 didn't work (in the builds I used, and read about anyway), it hasn't been actively developed as free, open source firmware in about a year for the v24-preSP2, but they will gladly take your money for it.

Tomato for me, for now. Though I did look at Hyper/OpenWRT for a while.

Well, the book is set more or less in the present, correct? I have not read too much about it, but I am very interested in the book. Will have to buy it when I have the chance. Hardcover, of course!

Oh, FIRST
