I am wondering how we will pay for everything we want in space - a shuttle replacement, the ISS is an albatross ( a money pit), we wanna go to the moon, we wanna go to mars.
Things just havent been the same since the apollo missions. Just imagine what we could have done if we had persued our space dream instead of killing it...
Forget Hitech - become a lawyer or auto mechanic Cisco certs? I know CCIEs looking for work ( I interviewed 2 for a job posting). Go into medical profession - baby boomers are around the corner. In the same vein, drug companies are booming.
Hey, thats my dream....! I'd spend the rest of my life trying to be the next A. Adams. Just use large format gear. Landscape only. Backback all that gear into places....maybe take a break and fly fish.
Oh, I'd also burn my PCs and never think about computers ever again.
the day SCO closes their doors. It is amazing how much effort is being spent to put up with these cretins. I agree with others that their new business model is litigation.
If I was an SCO employee, I would edit my resume and remove the time I worked that, replace it with "spent some time to deal with personal issues".
I wonder if employees at SCO read/.? I wonder what they think about whats been happening? Are they embarrassed? Happy? Or just brain dead? I know jobs are tough to get but at some point you gotta realize that some jobs are just plain BAD for you. Working at SCO is not going to be a good career move.
If you want career advice, become a lawyer. Hey, as we are seeing, there is, and will be, a big demand for this skill set. We all may hate their guts, but the legal field is not in the doldrums like the tech industry.
In fact, I feel like sueing someone. Yeah, got the urge to get a lawyer and make someone elses life miserable. Get me a good shyster and go after someone or business. Maybe settle outta court for $$$.
New business model:
1. Hire lawyer 2. Sue the be-jezuz outta some smuck - settle
out of court 3. Profit!
How much energy and $$$ are being wasted by all of us dealing with these cretins? Now they want to spread their disease to the rest of the world. Great, now SCO can plague the entire planet.
Google gives in to this crap, then we are all doomed! SCO will be so full of themselves that they will make all of lives a hell-hole.
Google --> Ignore the bastards! The rest of us are. Just having "low-level-talks" gives some sort of validity to SCOs complaint. Escort the asshats out of your offices and warn them to never come back!!!
If I had known that this country was going in this direction, I would got my law degree and skipped math.
Hey, a career note to all you high-school folk, get your law degree.
What scares me is if this is only the tip of the iceburg for the future. It seems that any and everyone now just sues to get their way. Heck, you dont even have to have a good case. If you dont get your way or you are just mad at soneone/thing, just sue to get even. Soon web sites will have a lawsuit counter replacing their hit counter.
Im so mad now, I think I need a lawyer - I just wanna sue someone. GGRRRRRRRrrrr!
when we are going to spend 80-100 billion in Iraq. Add to that anyother country that we go for. Also, we do not have the same fear that we had in the 60s over Russian space victories. We were truely scared and it drove us to want to not only be in space, but be there first.
Lets face it, we do not have the same drive for another space race. We are too mired in worrying about terrorism, rebuilding bombed-out countries, creating a working missle-defense system, stupid shuttle missions that are pointless, building more nuclear carriers, and erections and hair loss.
The 60s space race had this country working for a common goal ( while the Vietnam war was tearing us apart). I dont see us working for a common goal anymore.
If I had 5 years cash I'd be gone in an instant. Ive worked in computers since 1969 and have only a heart attack to show for it. I can never retire and will probably die at my desk.
Dont do this to yourself. Take off for a long time, learn photography, go to culinary college, volunteer as a computer mentor at a local school, etc.
I'd give anything to have trained as a plumber growing up. But no, I had to be the geek and go into computer shit.

4 heard there were job openings at new satellite network. Enough dealing with porn nets, 4 can now some REAL work.
I still have a 486slc Mitac notebook running mini-linux. No CDROM, 80meg HD. Minilinux was a 4diskette linux. It keeps running - I dont have the heart to get rid of it.
Agree 100 percent. DOOM was the first, and in some ways the best. All you have to do is move right/left, forward/back, and weapons. Not much to learn and lotsa fun ( gimma a shotgun and full ammo....grooovvyy).
I used to enjoy arcades but the games there went to having 4-5 buttons and movement controls. You need 4 arms to play!
All I want is a game where I pick up health and weapons, and blow stuff up. Like the original DOOM. Nothing fancy. Turn right/left go forward/back. Blow stuff Up. Gimma a double barrel sawed-off and infinite demons.
We got this crap at work. Firewalls didnt help because someone in the office took his notebook home, got infected and then brought notebook into work. Silent infection. You can build multiple firewalls but it is worth nothing if your users dont protect their networks at home.
Yeah, well, I'm going to sue myself for using linux, Mac OS X, and AIX! Its obvious that I am violating every patent law out there. Hell, because of that last statement, Im suing myself for defamation of character. Keep it up, cbdavis, and I'll sue the doctor that delivered you and the idiots that taught you in school.

My son has CCDP/CCNP and outta work for 2 years. His friends are getting out of college and most are going for advanced degrees ( no jobs).
Before dotcom-bust, you could get by with no college and certs. But now, with jobs few and far between, a collge degree is minimum ( see above).
Forget high tech, become a lawyer.
Me? We have hired 1 person in a year and our work load has tripled. And that person has years of network experience.

$900 SLR. Can use Canon EF lenses. I bought a
Nikon 5700 in January for $1200 - I am crying.
You got that right! The legal profession has gotta be one of the careers of the future. We just sue anyone and everyone.

That is what happened to us - someone brought
their notebook from home ( with infection) and
then plugged into IT network. Practice safe
computing!!!
In this kind of scenario, firewalls dont help.
Cant block port 135 at routers 'cause we have apps at that port.
Needless to say, our IT network is still reeling from this.

I bet it is running on linux and the OS license
was revoked by SCO.

We dont need no steenking license!!!
