I had an internship at Intel last summer and would recommend it to anyone :) Mine was in SSG (Software and Solutions Group), rather than on the hardware side of things. Intel is a huge company and they have positions for people with any number of skills.

My dad played through and beat all of the games in the "Myst" series. I personally could never get into it :)

Any chance you could just burn it to a disk and let him borrow it? DVD-RW ftw :) Otherwise, I typically split the file into a bunch of smaller pieces, and then transfer them one at a time using some method (e.g. FTP). FTP servers work well, but would require a bit of effort to setup (port...

Configure them in what respect? I have 5 drives and didn't have to configure any of them on my P5B :)

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that what you want can only be done via some flavor of Windows Server 2003.

Heh, let's consider this for a moment. Here are the current headlines on CNN. This will of course, likely change, but they serve to illustrate my point: * Man arrested after crashing Capitol barricade * Experts search for source of E. coli outbreak * Update on space station...

I gave up on TV news years ago. Now, I just read it online. I'm subscribed to the Wall Street Journal, and I regularly peruse CNN. I quit watching it on TV for several reasons: - There's much less content. - The news you get is decided for you--it's much harder to "pick and choose" the...

Another vote for Forecast Fox :)

Probably just an accounting gimmick. :) Presumably, the money I pay goes toward the maintenance/operation of windmills as opposed to coal-fired plants. The actual power I use comes from the same grid everyone else uses.

According to my billing history, I use about 220KW-hours per month, so about $68.64. Usage is relatively constant because I rent and heat is included in the bill--heat which is, no doubt, produced by coal power :P

Power in this area (Wisconsin) typically comes from coal. The local utility offered wind power for 2.6 cents more per KWH, so I switched. Now I can feel warm and fuzzy inside :) Where does your power come from?

Although I've used neither, I just ordered the P5B yesterday :) If RAID is important and the P5B doesn't have it (I wouldn't know), then you should probably go with the DS3.

Here's a BFG 7600GT for 114.50 after rebate. This is what I'm buying :). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143049

You can go ultra cheap if you want. Lawn chairs / fold-up table / air mattress bed (definitely not recommended). Are you starting with nothing or can you take at least _something_ from your current residence?
