  1. Networking / Services / Processes on Best Practices For Process Documentation? · · Score: 0

    I'm looking for a Wiki/Network mapping (Visio Style) application or CMS to document a whole network, servers, applications, services, IP addressing, and etc. Anyone recommend a complete cookie cutter system for documenting a network? Open source preferably? I am in a new systems administrator position and this would help me to not only document my work but to understand the systems and also not forget where things are. It would be nice to be able to click on items in the map and documentation to remote desktop or ssh into servers. I appreciate the input!

  2. Not evolutionary enough I guess! on 12 Florida Schools Pass Anti-Evolution Resolutions · · Score: 0

    Well it looks like I had my previous message regarding this deleted. Do we have censorship trolls on slashdot? I'm sorry but thats not very "Christian" of slashdot admins! lol Anyway this response to another sums it up. I do believe that many people without spirituality can be good people and I am sure most of you are. I as well have been a none believer personally when I was young and seriously questioned authority and did not appreciate laws or their intension's. I also did not like Religions and felt they caused more damage than good. But to understand a spiritual belief fully and own it in your heart in its true intent and to experience the change in your life is another form of freedom that you would have to experience for yourself. To have a conversation with your creator and be great full for life and the blessings around you on a daily basis can be magical. So I can appreciate and understand the freedoms you are describing even though I would disagree that spirituality in its pure form limits any type of freedom but in actuality is freedom. I still to this day believe people should govern themselves, but in the end most people are not educated enough or ethically capable of doing this. So we must have a set of laws for these people to live by so that we can live together in some form of peace. Unfortunately many people do not have the internal guidance like yourself and need to know their purpose here and a way to live their lives and really do need a set of spiritual laws to govern their actions. I personally thought that I could find life's answers through science and education. But in the end it is a limited cause that really only spirituality and prayers to a higher power "God" gave me. If you where to study specifically Christianity and truly learn about Jesus (The New Testimate) and learn about his life, you would understand that there is no such thing as hatred, bigotry or any of the negative things that many so called "Christians" of the right wing may teach. Just like their are bad Muslims and good Muslims. I think there is some extreme mistranslations in teaching and many "Man" made cultural bias's which are passed on without spiritual basis. It really is a Journey that you should take for yourself and educate yourself, be objective and read the Bible and the Qoran or other well documented spiritual beliefs at least just to educate yourself on them. To be honest these things have been documented (Historically) but only through faith are they proven! No scientist can prove them or do I think they are or were ever meant to be proven in a physical sense. I thank you for the time and being open minded on the subject. I hope that your past experiences or judgments about spirituality can be set aside long enough for you to honestly explore them further to find their true meanings in your life and the lives of others. P.S. - I think at least a good objective and thorough "World Religions" class should be taught in high school as to educate teenagers on the subject of Religion and let them choose or not choose for themselves!

    You are right, real Christians who follow Christ's life example have none of the hatred or bigotry that the so called right wing "Christians" have! This is why there are allot of new Christian church's who do follow Christs teachings by his lifes example. Unconditional love is what Jesus is all about! I want my kids to learn this! I also want them to have a relationship with their true creator. In the end, what in life really matters without an after life? Its all only temporary. Maybe if you believe in Nothingness, then what thats what you will get. Only God has the true answers, yet we always try to play God here on earth. If we put all our focus on just our earthly existence, we will miss out on the bigger picture and the things we can only dream of understanding from a higher power. Blessings!

    Really? What about many scriptures which have been re-translated from original texts from Israel and other parts of the middle east? They have confirmed that the bible is pretty close to those original scripts. There have been many scholars working on this topic of correct translation even to this day? Are you saying the original scripts were not there before the bible?

    Who ever said there was a fight? Lame, I know we all want an explanation for being here and I'm sorry the glance at a description was not cool enough for you. I will try and give an quantum physics explanation for you next time. One that only can explain the relation between atoms and their physical motion and placement. Like I said before evolution is a natural part of creation, our life after this earth is far beyond our earthly understanding. Don't try and complicate things when the examples on earth have been given to you already. What is pointless is to think we are a cosmic accident with no greater thought and engineering given to our existence. Does that make sense to you?

    I can appreciate a scientific understanding of things, but in the end it really comes down to the explanation of existence. Does our earthly understanding of biology really matter in the end? I am not suggesting that Religion needs to be taught in biology class, no flames please. But maybe spirituality should be more explored in our educational system; maybe we wouldn't have so many messed up kids and adults? Do you think understanding your purpose and existence here might have something to with that? Seriously though, be honest with yourself, at the end of your life, what really... really... matters?

  8. Evolution / Creation / Reason / Logic on 12 Florida Schools Pass Anti-Evolution Resolutions · · Score: 0

    Obviously evolution is a byproduct of creation. Just as we create cars, boats, computers there is always evolution. This is an example of intelligence and a creator. Although I am sure most here agree with Darwinist evolution, this theory speaks more of a "cosmic accident". I think life has enough examples of how we are very complicated and "engineered" as a human race. The fact that you are even alive is a miracle and that your cells are programmed to do jobs which keep you alive, that there is enough pressure on this planet to keep your skin on and ect,ect. To think this is all circumstantial makes no logical sense. We are only able to understand earthly/human concepts, so it makes perfect sense that Man had to carry the messages that have been given by a higher/spiritual power. Evolution is more of a process vs. reason. I think we all know the reasons we as humans create things, usually for a purpose. Do you think our existence may be an example of a higher power and how to understand that higher power is through the examples we are given through human understanding. Don't confuse human science with reason or purpose but more of a tool/process to explain things. The reason/purpose is something we each find out through this experience and at the end of our lives. Remember people, we are temporarily here and for there to be nothing after this experience would not make sense or would life even be worth living if there was nothing after our individual experiences. Hopefully you come to understand faith and that your creator has a purpose and love for you! Those who are parents will understand, you are the creator and what do you want for your children? A great experience here? Things you never had? Unconditional Love? Learning? Etc? Maybe we should be teaching evolution of the soul! That is where the answers may be found. Also if you look at Jesus life, you have a much better understanding of how to be a good human and live your life. Unfortunately it is very hard to live your life like that and that is why most people would rather not believe than to try to be like him. Maybe you could put yourself in a creator/fathers shoes and understand why you would want to have a child? Open your minds..... There is more than science around you..... Logically it makes sense when you understand how amazing and remarkable life is.... Blessings and Luv! Yes even to Nerds! lol

  10. Have some balls! Say something! on Do You Tell a Job Candidate How Badly They Did? · · Score: 1

    You know what, maybe as a Human Being you can have some respect for people and let them know how to improve their life! This life is temporary you know (For those Godless individuals), maybe you can help someone who needs it! Thinking about your damn self all the time is pretty arrogant and contributes nothing to this world! I have taken employment law and a little commen sense goes along way! Dont give them anything in writing or electronic (e-mail) and have some balls to tell them verbally in PRIVATE! Whos going to prove anything at that point if they want to get legal about it? The chance it would go there is slim and they can say what ever they want anyway, tell them this is off the record (In other words I didn't tell you this!). Make a difference in that persons life for the better!! Maybe they won't write bad code somewhere else, who knows you could be using a peace of software they had some part in someday, you never know! I also think the public relations thing is good all around for you and the company! Grow a pair, you do have an obligation!
