So what's the shack reading these days? I'm about half way through Nassim Taleb's The Black Swan, some interesting stuff right here, he comes across as rather patronising and arrogant but at least he has the awareness to acknowledge it and apologise for it. Seems like a very genuine and enthusiastic guy!

What software do you use to monitor your servers disk space, event logs and other important vitals? I have a 2k budget to spend so nothing like the Microsoft monitoring tools would be in my budget.
I need something with a nice web interface and easy to use and easy to filter out things that I don't want to see.

A small-town pharmacist intrigued by the government's economic stimulus plan decided to launch his own version with $16,000 in $2 bills, and area stores have already felt the impact.
That's kind of a slick idea.

I'm getting my new place together and decided I want to get an HDTV + Media PC setup. My question is what should I get media-pc wise? Is a cheap Dell with a 3450 (supports HDMI) good enough? Any deals with regards to cheap computers that can be used as media pcs?
I figure I'll use Vista media centre, a bluray drive, an HDMI enabled card and be off, anything else I should consider?

I have a Rogue/Warfare character. I am specializing and thus only have points in three areas: Rogue - Calculated Strike tree, Envenom Weapon tree. Warfare - Dual-Wield
Both trees allow me to leave skills active all the time. With Envenom I can slow, poison over time, etc. Dual-wield seems weird. You don't always swing both weapons but just investing points in it ups your attack speed significantly.
What else would you put points into?

The glass on my macbook cracked near the middle:
http://austin.fatheree.googlepages.com/photo.jpg
It is getting worse and worse as item goes on although generally it is ignorable. I've yet to pull the stuff off because I don't know how fragile the underlying LCD is. There don't seem to be any issues with the underlying LCD so all I need to do is replace the glass. Any thoughts? Suggestions? I've googled and found an number of complete screen replacements, but I've yet to find just the glass.
