Mine is good most of the time, but when it goes out, it drives me nuts! At least I have a cell phone when it blips out. I never had too much luck making money in SL, but a friend of mine makes what many would consider a decent annual pay out of it. Just amazing what you can do with a computer these days!

You can pretty much do everything online so you really do not need an expensive computer. Companies like Google have a ton of web applications that allow for cheap low power computing.

The UPS tips are great, I didn't know we will shorten our computer life by plugging it to the wall. Unfortunately though for the gas tips, the gas prices here fixed by the government, you either take it or leave it. I couldn’t agree with you more.

You can see an example of this pictured above and at the bottom of each post near the comment box. If you have a Digg account and somebody has already dug the post, then it will show the vote button and you can click it and send some love if you think the post is useful, interesting or entertaining. If somebody has not already dugg the post then it will show the “digg this” link. I have submitted a few posts in the past to digg myself, but it feels wrong submitting your own stuff, so I haven’t done it for a long while. I feel better asking readers to submit or vote on the posts they like. It helps the site, it helps me and in the end it will help you in the form of more posts of that type quality being produced in the future and made freely available.

Linux is not for the "average Joe", period. it is infinitely harder to set up to begin with and I just don't believe that the average Windows user is prepared to make that leap... OTOH, there is some merit to switching away from Bill-ware apps. There are LOTS of ways to save $$$$ by not buying Microsoft apps or their gratuitous and expensive upgrades! You can find very capable free Office replacements, GIMPShop has been designed to look like full-on Photoshop, Picasa works well for someone who doesn't take 3GB of photos every time they go out, ... and that list can go on and on. I would like to test that claim about Windows apps running on WINE though... I have some apps that *if* they ran on WINE, I'd seriously have to think about moving off of XP Pro... Long term we will all have to move once the "industry" rams "trusted computing" (TCPA) down our throats! One more point about Linux vs. Windows; most people get Windows "free" (as in the cost is buried in the final system price) when they buy their new desktop or laptop. So switching to Linux isn't going to "save" anyone anything... More to the point, when was the last time you saw a PC system offered with a lower cost if you buy it without Windows? It just doesn't happen... (If you are talking about building a system yourself, well, that is a different kettle of fish since you generally do not get a copy of Windows along with your purchase of a bare motherboard anyway...) like the guy saying that MythTV is way harder to deal with than a TiVo I would say something similar about Linux… Linux is not for the “average Joe”, period. it is infinitely harder to set up to begin with and I just don’t believe that the average Windows user is prepared to make that leap…

Vonage is growing at ridiculous rate these past few months. We have been using Skype for all our conversations long distance. Using Skype Out is also amazing. EXTREMELY low rates to call any cell phone or land line world wide. Skype has saved our bacon a few times now..
