http://www.angelflightamerica.org Flying your own airplane for this sort of thing incurs a lot of costs beyond fuel. By contributing to Angel Flight America, you can at least help them with their fuel costs. They are still spending a lot of money (and their time naturally) shuttling food and supplies to the effected areas.
If you’re going to build your own media center type PC, running either Windows or Linux based solutions, here are some nice looking cases to house the beast in: Ahanix.com Needless to say, these aren’t your typical $39 cases, but if the machine will be visible as part of your home theater set…
I’ve complained about this before, but it just bit me again. The implementation of the F Lock key on newer Microsoft keyboards is a user interface design gaff of massive proportions.

Sven Jaschan has been found "guilty" of writing the Sasser worm and turning it loose on an unsuspecting world. His sentence is a joke. 30 hours of community service and a 18 month suspended sentence.
