I'll even sign in to post this. I HATE the new layout. It is obviously designed by the same type of idiots who shoot vertical video.
More Work. I still have to do my regular job, but I also own a seasonal small business. In the summer, I drive my Ice Cream truck!
(OLD) Slackware, Red Hat 8, Mandrake 8,
(CURRENTLY) Ubuntu on desktops, MontaVista on my embedded systems.
Yes... MontaVista. NO, not Windows Vista, which was a turd. MontaVista really should have sued Microsoft for soiling their good name. http://www.mvista.com/
Dave's is very hot, but it totally sucks in the flavor department. If you want a hot sauce that actually has GREAT FLAVOR, then try my personal favorites...
"Salsa Picante de Chili Habanero - Roja" from El Yucateco
or
"Liquid Summer" Florida datil pepper sauce from Bill Wharton, A.K.A. "The Sauce Boss"
Google 'em.

I'm spending time with my hobby. Find me on the 10 Meter band, usually around 28.450-USB or 29.000-AM. I'll have a microphone in one hand, and a "cold 807" in the other.
Its not like its TV stations are going to pop up messages saying "ALERT! EMERGENCY! OH MY GOD! EVERYTHINGS OVER!" with no additional information. Its going to be like the EAS test that happens every single week. Not overriding video is IIRC tolerable under the FCC requirements. The audio message will be there like always.
Part of the problem, and the reason the FCC and FEMA are trying to get the work out early, is that the video text crawl will NOT indicate that it is a test. The audio portion will, but the text portion will say "A Primary Entry Point station has issued a National Emergency Action Notification for the United States beginning at 2:00 PM EST, valid until 3:00 PM EST"
This automatically generated text will show up on every TV screen whether connected to cable, satellite, or off-air antenna. If you are not listening to the sound, how would you know it is only a test? This is also the same text message you will see if you subscribe to one of the internet or cell phone text EAS services. There will be no indication of "only a test" anywhere on it.

Why XP? Why not use W2K SP4 or stripped down Linux or some other OS?
Why XP? Simple. Magic Jack's crappy software won't run on anything other than XP, or Vista. Otherwise, I would be using Linux.
Thanks for asking.
What's the oldest computer you have and what does it do now?
My oldest machine currently in service is a 14 year old Gateway 2000 E-3110 Pentium II, 300 MHz, 256MB RAM, 3 120GB IDE hard drives, stripped down version of Win-XP Pro with all un-needed services shut off.
I keep it in the basement running 24/7 with the monitor shut off. I use it as a NAS box, printer server for my home network, (serving an HP Laser-jet, and a Lexmark color ink-jet) and also as a "Magic Jack" server for my home phone service.
It still works great for those purposes, and I only have to reboot it about twice per year.
