Why does the gooberment(s) need to be involved at any level. Let the markets dictate the results. If an ISP blocks P2P or heavy FTP you switch ISPs to one that does not. Problem solved, and without the gooberment telling me what I can and can not do.

I have only been a "full time" employee one time.

That deal was simple.

I drew a salary.
The days (24 hour period) I was on call I got .25 hours of comp time for every hour I was on call
If I worked during that time then I got 1.25 hours of comp time per hour worked

The "nights" (after hours) I got .5 hours comp time and 1.5 hours comp for time worked

There where 3 of us and we rotated by the week.
After 18 month on the "job" I had over 250 hours comp time added up when I left.

That is the rate I negotiated with the employer.
The one I am on now is better.
When I am called I bill 2 to 1 comp time with .1 hour per hour for waiting on the call.

That's why I find them so addictive.

GM will be releasing this thing in 2011 as the new flagship luxury car...

is he going to hire for this job.

more importantly what country is he going to borrow the money from to hire this ACORN/RIAA moron from?

Give each ex-Marine an AR-15 and 500 rounds
Give each ex-Marine an m92 and 100 rounds
Give each ex-Marine full battle dress

Put 5 each on each ship
Pay them 50k per year
Pay extra 100k in insurance

350k per year per ship

Safety and dead pirates, priceless.

The tool cage on the loading dock of a trucking company in winter with 5 degree weather inside when they opened the doors every 10 minutes.

Working with the boss that fired the entire IT staff because someone locked a file while writing to it.

The cruise ships have there own cell towers within the ship. You could be driving by the ship in your car and switch over to the ships international cell tower for a moment and you would never even know.

Nope, that tax is collected through the power bill here in the south

5500 watt at the minimum 7500 watt is better

You don't want to run your laptop off of the gennie, you want to get 4 6 volt golf cart batteries run 2 in series then run the 2 pairs in parallel.

Then get an inverter to convert the 12 volt to 110.

Charge the batts with the gennie using a trickle charger

On a 7500 watt (7.5 Kw) you get...
7500 watts / 115 volts = 65 Amperes of juice

Most homes have a 200 Amp main breaker

Then you get an external weather proof box
Wire it into a 60 Amp 220 breaker in the main (if its outside)
with an appliance plug.

You then get a #8 wire extension cord about 30-50 foot long and plug it into the gennie

You have enough to power almost everything.

Just make sure you turn off the Main breaker prior to starting the gennie and turning on the 60 amp breaker or you will kill some poor lineman.

Many of the best IT people I know have no school past high school.
Some of the worst people in IT I know have a CS degree.

Certs on show you can pass the test

It all comes down to experience.

I would get your resume out to about 10 to 15 recruiters that do contract only stuff.

Take them to lunch, get to know them, let them get to know you.

Find a small non profit that needs help, and volunteer your skill with them
put them on your resume.

Your going to be cheap for the first few years then as your skills show themselves
your pay will jump.
