I wonder if my friends could pick me out by this book list. Hmmm...

Actually most of the time you can return it to the vendor within 30 days. Even with the M$.

...

Have you consolidated your credit card debt under a low interest loan? Perhaps borrowed a bit on the sly from family?

Have you eliminated unecessary spending and trimmed back as far as you can while keeping life enjoyable?

Have you sold off/purged that valuable junk you collected but do not use that showed up during the credit card binge?

What about finding a bunch of housemates and cutting costs further?

If you in an urban area, do you really need a car? Sure most of the US this won't work but damn is it a way to cut debt.

There is no shame being in debt, it can happen to anyone. At the same time, it sounds like you are not doing everything you could and are just getting defensive about it. If not, more power to you. If so, check out Your Money or Your Life, just ignore the crap about Treasury bonds.

...

I wouldn't take a 50% pay cut lying down either.

My first step would be to chat with a lawyer, unless I had a bloody obvious no obligation contract. In this case, it seems to be directed to employees and contract either side can terminate at will. With any luck one can fight it, particularly one of those poor unforatunate souls doesn't 'accept' the salary reduction which seems to set off my spidey-sense. Now sure, there might not be anything one could due legaly but only a local lawyer can probably say for certain.

The other thing would be an immediate job hunt. Find someplace else to work and for gods sake learn from those poor suckers at Loki Games who got screwed by lurking around a dying beast. Good techies are hard to find, if you are one get moving.

My past experience has been whole workgroups get axed, mostly those working in technologies the company thinks it is moving away from in the immediate future. On my last contract, which lasted almost five years, they sent all of us C/C++/VB contractors packing since they decided Java was the be all end all. That and their Java training guru cliamed if one liked C++ one must automaticly hate Java. Asshole.

....

Not to deflate your balloon but 641C still has trouble with multiple sections. At least with my resume...

Don't forget this one either.

So what do you think of this one?

Don't forget this one, not a lot of original content but many interesting links.

Well it's good to have the agit-prop war movies out before we move on to phase two. That's right, follow the link to remove all doubt.

How would you characterize the work environment at Sun? Do you have any insider's advice for those of us caught up in the recent market downtown who are looking for new challenges at Sun?

Sure it may seem cheesy but whatever it takes...

Please read this document.

Twenty years my ass. You must be listening to too much Lester Browne.

You might want to reconsider. Who's balls are really in a vice?

Inspired by the 1960's CIA spy cat perhaps?

This Slashdot story probably got you a good start. Hell people mentioned your site on mine after this article appeared. LOL.

I run a site that is somewhat obscure, certainly by Slashdot standards, but it does have a small community. It's also a political news forum. There are definatly some lessons along the way.

First off it takes time. I have been experiencing slow but steady growth in traffic from the beginning. It may be hard to swallow but at this point in the news forum game, barring big budgets like Plastic, I suspect slow and steady wins the race.

Secondly some people will attract much more traffic then others. The excellent staff at Geeklife have definatly pushed a lot of traffic my way. If your reading this, thanks again guys you rock. Finding sites you share common cause with and linking to each other helps.

After a quick look I would say you need more stories. The updates seem a bit sparse.Then again, what do I know.

BTW I would happily accept constructive criticism or anyone who just pops by for a visit. ;

I would just like to take a moment, at a time of great progress in the international community, to thank our great leader John Ashcroft. John Ashcroft has protected us from the terrorist threat while ignoring naysayers making claims that Big Brother is coming from us. God bless you Sir!

To think that in this great nation, entrusted to us by our great lord Jesus Christ, almost slipped into the hands of heathens and leftists. Why our saintly leader Mr. Ashcroft even is moving to protect us from death by banning assisted suicide if the courts will simply admit who is in charge. Our office of Homeland Security together with the Justice Department will vanquish the evil ones from our midst.

Behold a Pale Horse!

Yeah, I feel your disconnnect buddy.

I've been watching Big Brother grow stronger and stronger in the name of fighting terrorism. Hells bells, I tried submitting an ACLU update calling for urgent action on the freakin Senate bill from hell but even Slashdot didn't get it. It's now passed the Senate, thanks a bunch Malda. A mundane Senator doesn't have a clue. Okay maybe one did.

Posting anonymously to avoid the coming bitchslap.

Ok, so you think this legislation sucks, let's do something about it. Right now!

Take yourself over to this ACLU site and enter your zip code (the long one). Or for those of you concious of the referrer bit, cut and paste this link into your browser, http://www.aclu.org/action/liberty107.html and feel good for doing your bit. Still with me, now erase the text in the message box and replace it with this:

The "Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001" is overly broad and threat to the computer industry of the United States as well as the liberties and freedoms we enjoy as Americans. The act is overly broad in it's definitions of terrorism and lacks the traditional prudence and restraint exhibited by more dilberative congressional commitees in the past. It is for all these reasons that I as a proud American urge you to reject this hasty and ill considered legislastion.

I urge you to reject this act at the commitee level as well as on the floor. If we surrender our liberties and freedoms in a time of crisis the terrorist have won. We must defeat terrorism but not at the cost of our freedoms.

Fill in the rest of your information and click the send message button. Do it and be free.

What your still hanging around this post? Ok then, please check out this other news site.

The coverage here has been quite complete and is updated fairly regularly....

If the last article is correct, the war starts soon.

Osama Bin Laden has been arrested!!!

What the hell is a postercomment compression filter?

I am so glad we have leading kernel hackers "Hell O'World" telling us where Linux needs to go.

Fuck that noise, read some real news.

Has anyone setup one of those dynamic link directories covering the crisis? I have seen different sites collecting links but no one site heavy on the automated geek factor.

about poor Brian K? Does that chap deserve our attention too!

Maybe Slashdot doesn't care about hackers but you should!

Somebody already did! Free Brian K Now!

Slashdot might not care about oppressed hackers but you should.

Free Brian K Now!

Please post mirrors in the comments.

Eye, Eye, Sir!

MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR! MIRROR!

When you look in the mirror what do you see?

To Be or not to Be.

Hmm...perhaps clearing out the inventory here might help for all you cheapskates out there.

1) Go to the upper left search box and enter 'linux'.

2) Buy each of the Loki games. Myth 2, Heretic 2, Decent 3, Terminus, Sim City 3000, Quake 3, Soldier of Fortune, RailRoad Tycoon 2, Eric's Ultimate Solitaire, and Heroes of Might and Magic III for for a lousy $9.99 per game!

3) Now click on this link and be nice to the friend of the guy who told you how to get all these cheap games.

No shit! We live in a Police State brought to your by the Corporate Republic.

We are all slaves!

What kind of lamer fakes "grassroots support" for thier site?

BTW, check out this really jazzy site that I am a fanboy for...

Screw the censors.

Real funny trivalize homelessness just like the census.

It cool that he had a sense of humour about the questions. So many of them seemed to me like things saying, "Why doesn't GNU Cash give out hugs?", "When will GNU Cash provide life after brain death?"

I know I rambled a bit there but why can't people say thanks and ask about something other then new features. GNU Cash rocks, treat it with some respect.

AHHHHH!!! The moderators are coming to steal my karma and they are going to alkfjaljdfklfhaqp 90

Compared to sending $100 million dollars to everyone's favorate Olympic hotspot.

Free Tibet! Screw the one China policy.

they aren't sending $100 million to tyranical dictatorship like some greedy corporate monster!

What do they care about thermal sensors when you can thrown in jail for any offense?

this is what a corporate republic looks like....

Chiu belongs here.

Sounds like the "Space Island Group" has some competition for thier sex hotel in space.

Like everyone here didn't know that PCs were filling landfills and leading to ecocide.

George Orwell must be spinning in the old grave at the thought of Big Brother.

While there are fair number of SGI folks that will likely show up and start posting, I think where they are headed is fairly clear.

SGI, in white papers and trade shows, is pushing the statistic that "the average SGI customer is doubling storage capacity every 18 months" according to Kent Koeninger in "CXFS: A Clustered SAN Filesystem for SGI". Think about the consequences of that for a moment.

The future does not lend itself to XFS on the server but rather CXFS. Sure they are betting the bank on their multi-OS approach but they do have the customer data to back it up. It seems like a good bet, all things considered. XFS is a bridge to IRIX and CXFS, nothing more.

BTW, the opening CXFS paper is here.
