I just switched jobs from a full time onsite to a 20% travel telecommute job. I was initially offered a 8% pay cut, but after my interviews was offered a higher salary than my previous one. The ability to walk away for a while, the lack of stress, and being at home really makes this feel more like a vacation than a real job. It's the happiest I have been so far in any job.

There is a dilbert comic I love. http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2006-02-01/

Why isnt there a link to the donation page, or information on how to donate. Thats seriously Lame.

I was told by my photo mentor who is good friends with Dwayne that limited runs will still be able for processing.

Dwayne is still doing limited runs. Its just not commercial anymore.

US Government is actually investing more in Oracle now than before. Its become a "one stop shop". Servers, Linux, and DB all at one place.

If they are on a legacy FC array, like the Hitachi AMS500, a terabyte of space runs about 17,000$USD with 15K FC attached storage (72GB per disk). Then on top of that, you have people who support it. San Administrators and System Administrators, which are probably making 70k+ per year. Then you have Backup Administrators which also make ~70k+ per year, and have to work with software which has a yearly cost of ~20k per year. So you get this legacy system which nobody wants to upgrade cause We have it, why not use it? and you spend a ton of money on it, and have to reclaim it somehow. Though 30$USD / GB is alot. I think we are ~5USD/GB or so here on that exact above system.

That comes out to be: 5a7a7c3fa0be751ed3350bb5184623ee Right?

Companies used to do backups, disk to disk to tape. Source, to repository, to tape. With Data domains and products like CommVault, a lot of people are now doing disk to disk to off site disk array. We can take and put ~1 year of continuous nightly backups on a data domain, and have it instantly retrievable.

I think it was a reference to the old command and conquer. There was a map where you had to get Einstein from one point in the map to another. There were telsa coils everywhere that fried him. If I remember correctly.

Yet, you are using a olde termed "Micro-Computer" to write that very message. Say what?
