I'm evaluating it for a week now; the plans range from 50 to 100 USD per month based on the data transfer limit.

Wow. that's a lot. And dataTransferlimit??
I guess the one good thing of living in Romania is cheep and fast broadband connection.
For legal downloads that is, off course...

It ranges from about 25 to 100 GB. However, I don't have much of data transfer, so it suits me.

New York recruiters are spamming me again like crazy, although I moved from NY almost five years ago.

I still have a job. 
Seriously, though, home sales are starting to pick up a little, my minor stock holdings are up a small bit, and retail stores have actual cars parked in their lots these days. Little else has changed, but it has to start somewhere...

It might be, but how long will it last? We have an astronomical amount of debt, taxes are going to increase (new VAT taxes, possible carbon taxes, heathbill laws kicking in), and interest rates are going to rise (if they don't raise the interest rates inflation will be off the charts).
If debt holders start to dump their bonds, there will be rapid hyperinflation. War with Iran is eminent, that will be terribly expensive and destructive.

Long term indicators are good, certainly the firm I work for are seeing the expcted recovery.

i'm actually being offered a full-time position w/ a consulting firm (as a programmer)... good idea?

Yes. And I hope it isn't just a blip.
Here in Denver:
The last two weeks I was unable to take a day off during the week because of recruiters contacting me and me having to follow up.
Previously the amount had increased from almost nothing in early January to a small level then it did this big jump.
The job boards for my sets of skills (all IT related to reporting and databases) indicate a marked jump in people looking for workers.
The price of meat in the supermarkets has gone back up. For a while you could get some really good deals but now the deals are in the 'okay' range. Although possibly this was due to threats of a local grocery strike more than an economic issue.
I'm seeing more of a spread of new businesses. My wife's favortie tea shop is seeing a rise in business, and in the US that is strictly a luxury indicator. It sells tea, desserts, and a variety of luxury linens and other items from France. The only people who spend money in there are people with discretionary income.
I'm more worried that the price of gold hasn't really backed off which is tied to future worries across a wider range. In 2008 the average price was 871.96 (USD), in 2009 it was 972.35 (USD). I just saw a snapshot indicating it is at 1152.80. I haven't found the Q1 of 2010 numbers yet.

Indeed! At the very least he should be holding a beer and a sheep!

If you have those two things and a lack of accountability, that can lead to things far worse than drunk dialing.

I suppose the sheep might like it, and if nobody finds out then nobody!

Spending every waking hour keeping the Kiwis out of the sheep paddocks. After you lot f*** them the meats no good and they stop growing wool. Completely messeses up the economy, thats why I'm starting the No Sheep Rooting Kiwis in Australia Party for the ellection at the end of the year. I expect to be voted in with a 85% majority, would be greater, but all you f***ing Kiwis over here won't vote for me.
Once I'm in, an all the Sheep Rooting Kiwis are deported I predict sheep nervousness and suicide will drop to zero and the Aussie economy will be back in the black.
