Okay, Bob was correct in shutting down the previous thread concerning immigration since it seems that civility seems to be in very short supply. however, since this is an important issue. I'll try it again. So keep it civil, eh?
Georgia did it's own version of the Alabama immigration law. Well, it worked. Most of farm workers don't want to work there anymore. So now they're short of farm workers and they're trying to fill the gap with probationers:

Ain't gonna work. Most farm jobs is back-breaking work. Unless you get someone really desperate, used to farm work, I'd say 90% of your folks on probation are not gonna cut it. Same thing will probably happen here in Alabama. Wouldn't be too surprised if someone started to suggest chain gangs soon.

Now that I have an income, it's time for me to replace the DVD-ROM burner in my desktop, which died in November 2009. (I've been making do with Peg's laptop for all things burnt to disk; installing stuff has been a right bitch, though.)
So, after the first paycheck or two comes in, I want to get something that's sitting in or near the sweet spot between price and performance. What do people recommend/link? And is a Blueray drive a viable option yet?
Thank you.

Other than having something to do with fenkinder, I'm at a loss as to what to do with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/26858_Misterrogers]this... but it really should be in Fenspace. Any ideas?
