It worked well for me, and most importantly: it is a lot handier than what Apple has put together. This is especially useful if you are using a backup solution like Time Machine. Includes Whys, Why Nots, and step-by-step instructions."

kungfugleek writes: A University of Minnesota student has been banned from the Twin Cities campus after three of her instructors felt threatened by some of her Facebook postings. Amanda Tatro was patted down and questioned by campus police when she got to class Monday. The 29-year-old mortuary science student had posted comments on her Facebook page after breaking up with her boyfriend. She told her Facebook friends she wanted to stab a "certain someone in the throat" with an embalming instrument. Tatro said she was "looking forward to Monday's embalming therapy." When the instructors learned of the postings, they contacted police. Tatro told investigators she was just venting because she was upset over the breakup. Tatro tells the Star Tribune she has now set her Facebook profile to private.

That's pretty much the whole article (apologies for the plagiarism). I wonder how long it will be before people realize that nothing online, especially on FB, is private.

However, after working here for about 6 months, I find myself, not exactly burnt out, but longing for a complete career field change.

It's not that doing IT related tasks aren't fun anymore, but they have become more "work" than "play" over the last few years.

Since all of my experience has been IT related, I'm not sure where I could go from here.

What would slashdot readers consider doing for a living after being in a single field for so long?"
