Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Programming jobs losing luster in U.S.

The research firm Gartner Inc. predicts that up to 15 percent of tech workers will drop out of the profession by 2010, not including those who retire or die. Most will leave because they can't get jobs or can get more money or job satisfaction elsewhere. Within the same period, worldwide demand for technology developers — a job category ranging from programmers people who maintain everything from mainframes to employee laptops — is forecast to shrink by 30 percent.

....

The U.S. software industry lost 16 percent of its jobs from March 2001 to March 2004, the Washington-based Economic Policy Institute found. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that information technology industries laid off more than 7,000 American workers in the first quarter of 2005.

Bah.

This is a real shot in the dark, but has anyone encountered a problem with the last few builds of AIM freezing with certain screennames?

I have one AOL based sn, and two AIM-only ones. When I got my new computer in April and downloaded whatever the latest AIM build was at the time, I noticed one of my AIM sn's would always freeze the application whenever I tried to send a message. The problem only occurred with that particular sn. To prove it, if I was signed on under multiple sn's with the linking feature, the other accounts could message as usual but AIM froze as soon as I tried sending from the problem sn. Third party clients like Trillian have no trouble, and I've rolled back AIM to an earlier version, which works fine. (The reason I ask now is because I tried the latest upgrade tonight, and it caused the problem yet again.) Something's causing the last few builds to hiccup when I use that sn, but I can't figure it out.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So, I'm preparing to buy an iPod. First step, downloading iTunes. Is it everything and a piece of cheese? Can I get rid of my Musicmatch Jukebox? Will it burn CDs for me?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I'd say yes, but you might as well hold on to Musicmatch Jukebox for awhile until you're sure that iTunes does everything you need.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

I've found iTunes much more user-friendly than MusicMatch, but I'd agree it doesn't hurt to hold on to it for a bit to see.

I just plugged in River the Shuffle, and I'm taking her out for her first voyage.
