That will be awesome! Good luck with that! However if you have difficulty finding a job in your area, let me know! Since our company have wide range of resources including military services and even we have many opening position, mostly require security clearance but just happen to found one now that just recently opened that doesn't require security clearance. It maybe filled by the time you finish your course work.. but let me know anyway..

Thank you for the offer but I'm not likely to relocate. At this stage of life's game we're pretty much settled in, and would like to stay near the family.

BTW, I don't think the security clearance would be a problem for me. When I was in the Navy at times I had Top Secret clearance.

Right, I'm aware that you wouldn't want to relocate but if I recalled correctly that what have some service/contract in SC but not exactly sure. Thing will changed down the road. Yeah, I suspect that you may have security clearance and should not be a problem for you getting a job.

Yes, I live and work in SC. You remember well. :)

I'm not sure yet about career plans. We'll see what develops.

Just out of curiosity, are you familiar with SPAWAR (www.spawar.navy.mil/) or SPARC (http://www.sparcedge.com/)?

My total came up to, including tax, $222.57

We got it home and hooked it up and it works fine. Son also said the video he played looked better. Now it is disconnected and the CPU is wrapped in a pillowcase, then in a box and taped. We have it stored in one of our rooms with the monitor, and other peripherals for it. My external hard drive will be staying with my new computer.

Install a new RAM module up to the limits posted by tne manufacturer - pre-installed RAM is bare bones limited and really pathetic for multitasking.

for those with Mac - UPDATE YOUR COMPUTER RIGHT NOW!

Apple: Update will fix Mac 'Flashback' virus - CNN.com

Yes, I just download update software for Java. I never get virus for my MacBook Pro in many times but take carefully Adobe Flash player. Some flash player is fake to hit virus. I don't want it but some video streaming like ooVoo and Purple P3 which require flash player. Shit! Hurry up update HTML5 and throw away Adobe flash player So PC is very easy to get virus. PC must have anti-virus software program.

I bought ipad 2 from Target in Bridgewater, NJ two weeks ago and I am satisfied with it. I don't want to purchase the new ipad because of overheating, Wifi reception issues, and battery charging issues.

If the new ipad has no internal issues, then I would buy it. I decided to buy ipad 2 instead.

Great! iPad (3rd Gen) is not so worth to buy. Next Gen iPad (4th Gen) may be better next year than iPad (3)

That's exactly what I did buy. I don't trust myself to buy the new ipad after I had experiences with overheating ipads.
 
Building some linux/android kernels, probably later today. I will test them later to see if I can enable patches inside of some ROM builds so can do stuff like use newer OS, take panoramic photo shots, and so on.

I'm not sure what frameworks I am going to use for building the ROM, might stick with AOSP or AOKP. I hate HTC sense.
