   It's rare around here. I'm in an affluent midwest community where the middle class tends to spend itself into oblivion and the upper-class tends to produce trustifarian hipsters incapable of building a life-sustaining skill set. I was debt

   I'd need to go back and grok the epic pile of shoddy journalism that this event created. Somewhere, I thought I read that people were trying to hire Ms. Sage's persona. Also, this really isn't much different than what Shawn Moyer and Nathan

   1) You're not burned out. You don't quite know exactly what you want to do with your life yet, whether you know it or not. You know where you want to be, and you know what you like doing. That is not the same as knowing how you want to get

   I worked for GameStop back when they were having a really, really hard time. They were called Babbage's, had recently merged with Software, Etc (also a failing venture) and then filed for Chapter 11. They emerged when Barnes & Noble's C

    I am a programmer. I am not a developer. I write little programs and tools that make my job and my peers' jobs easier. I write bits of software for fun when tinkering. I like playing with different programming languages. I do not do well in

    Having put hard time into the financial sector (where most of these dinosaur descendants find themselves) I can say that nothing will make mainframes cool again. Ever. The features aren't really anything earth-shattering compared to the z10

    Note that the power supply's rating is not indicative of the machine's usual consumption. When all else fails, you really should hook these things up to something like a Kill-A-Watt to measure it.

    See also: Mitch Altman's "Brain Machine" (seen in Make Magazine) which uses binaural beats as well as pulsing LEDs to mess with your head. I like it. Some people think it's a bit too intense.

    I switched from Parallels when Parallels started sucking AND THEN wanted more money for me to upgrade to 3.x. VirtualBox, back then, was anemic but functional. Now, it's really going places with features that still trail behind the commerci

    I use it on a few workstations. It's a fine operating system, but I'm admittedly a bit of an enterprise UNIX head that's disenchanted with where Linux has gone. For the last decade or so, I've come to like some of the other free operating s

    I've been following this for a while. OpenSolaris, VirtualBox and MySQL are all things I was worried about surviving in the wake of Oracle's takeover. I use all three quite a bit.
