Incidentallly hams have put up over 30 satellites over the years. Most of them have been launched vy AMSAT, a privately funded organization of hams that work to put up satellites for the ham radio community. Also most of the newer satellite technology has come from the success and failures of hams.
BITE ME! Unionize? They have a union where Im contracting now for the hourly pc techs. Unions are nothing but exploiters of the workers for profit. They are *EVIL*! I WILL NEVER WORK IN A UNION SHOP! That's probably one of the reasons i contract because I dont want to work for anyone but myself(and my customers).
Well it depends on what market your working in. I live in Columbia, MD and I get atleast 20-30 calls a day from companies wanting my services. I'm just a unix administrator and currently working on contract. I get offers constantly. No one knows my age by my resume. I just have alot of good experience that they are looking for. And I do charge top dollar. I have found 2 truths. 1) People really do think if you charge more your worth more and more dedicated to the project. 2) People are willing to pay a consultant a hell of alot more money than to hire an employee because of the legal ramifications involved in having an employee. You have to be responsible for their SSN benefits, withdrawls, taxes and crap.. You also have to give them benefits(well if you want them to actually work for you). You also have to keep enough to work to keep them busy. The other thing is that most good contractors/consultants dont take off work. (Cause they dont get paid if they aren't working) So unless im really sick Im at work on time and getting the job done. I was recently out at our office near San Francisco. And my goodness they actually advertise positions in the movie previews. I was shocked at this. And they have a hard time keeping people because unless you are a powerful and have money to spend you can't keep the employees long. As soon as they get even a tiny bit of experience or get their paper mcse they are out the doors making 150k or more. Now granted a 1-bedroom apartment costs like $2400/mo. out there but still. That's still good money. So you have to living where the markets are hot like these kind of places. Another example is in Maryland there are TONS of jobs available in the Rockville, Montgomery country area because most people aren't willing to go through the traffic nightmares to get there and back each day unless they live near by the office. Too too much congestion. Also areas like Northern, VA are booming. The key is working with a company like Onsite Technologies or TekSystems to get placed in a position as a contractor for 6 months (temp to perm). Then if you like the place you end up working for 6 months and they like you , you can take their offer or move on to doing more contracting. Or if you have alot of free time you can try doing direct contracting.
Oh well i've said my piece and now im going to go. So I think there is a shortage of truly qualified people out there. SO crack open those books and start tinkering with the new technologies so i get down to 10-15 calls a day. I hate having to say no to high-paying contract positions.
Since when has the media not had a slanted view on anything. Look at the gun control issue. They make it look like guns kill people when in fact its the criminals who have the guns kill people. So they try to take away our rights to own guns. Or even a better example look at the presidential campaign. They are leading the information to put the two candidates against eachother so that their choice for president will win. And the American public is too stupid to think for themselves and goes with the supposed public opinion instead of researching their choices for them selves.
I like that they are comparing a *explicitive deleted* encrypted file to someone breaking into your house. I dont see how they compare. The reason why you encrypt things is to make it so other people can't view them. However if there is a way decrypt that information it doesn't make it illegal for someone to do so and view it. It's the responsibility of the person distributing or sending the encrypted files to make sure it's encrypted to their liking. I just like how businesses think they can go after people and file suit for people who are just exercising their rights. I mean come on. what's the big deal? So what if people see the blacklisted URL's. It's not like they could legitamently be sued because that information got out. They are specifically selling that information so that parents who dont bother to take the time to spend with their children and supervise what they do on the internet can let this software do it for them. Personally I think that parents should play a more active role in what their children are doing.. I know when I was growing up I was into all sorts of BBS's doing god knows what. And I know none of which they wouldn't have approved of if they knew. But since they didn't have a clue what I was doing and didn't care as long as i wasn't getting into or causing any trouble... sigh
If I were them the first thing I would do is delete all my log files. I don't believe in giving out information like that to anyone when those people aren't technically doing anything illegal.
Nevermind the fact that the RealPlayer uses 100% of the computers resources when running and it actually tends to interfere with other streaming video players when it is just sitting idle in memory.
There are ways to combat ignorance without outlawing peoples freedom of speach and right to their own opinions. Unfortunately they aren't not as effective. But they are only tools we can and should use. That is education. and if that doesn't work then you just are going to have to learn to agree to disagree. The way I look at it there are several constants in the world and one of them is hate. Unfortunately you make people live along side eachother in peace but you cannot expect them to treat eachother as brothers. What was that, that slickwilly said tonite in his speach.. Ahh yes... scientific fact.. all humans no matter race or creed or ethniticty are genetically 99.5% identical. So what happened with that last.5% to make a few minor external differences cause people to hate eachother and not trust one another.
To my knowledge they dont have any more ownership rights to a domainname then cocacola would if i had registered cocacola.com before they did. Network Solutions's policy is first come, first serve.

Explain to me how you plan to do that considering all of your digital circuits to the internet goes through the phone company
Just when we get things working they have to go and change it all and f*** it up. nah unix is here to stay.
