As someone who is 32 and just got into IT (Sys Admin, that sort of thing) I can also say go for it. I went back to school 2.5 years ago, when I was 28 after being a chef for 10 years. I found that the students in my program were young, had no life experience, lazy, unmotivated and immature. This of course reflected in their marks, how far they got in the program and of course whether or not they graduated. At the time of graduation I was the eldest. I was the only one out of my graduating class to get a 'real' job, most of them are now techs at Best Buy or working as phone monkeys for Shaw Cable.
Age gives you something that the 20 something crowd will never have; life experience, which is priceless. A well rounded, refined individual with good people skills will go lot further than someone that just has some technical background, IMO
the same thing happened to me, I got the silly site trying to sell me silly things. I closed the window, got on with life. hasn't bothered me since, but it was mildly irritating.
Well if women are from Venus and we do manage to colonize it (heh, colon is in that word) Perhaps I may then have a shot at getting a girl friend! I mean men are from Mars, right? RIGHT???
Everything just works? can you come help me sort out my sound card and video card? I thought I had the video card sorted, but it's b0rked again. Sound I have given up on. It worked in Ubuntu, FC 7,8 and 9, XP, vista but not Centos 5. It's ridiculous! When shall I expect your visit?

I have a similar setup, a server stuffed in the corner with just a couple of NICs and a power cord. I can use RDP on my handy windows lappy to get to said server and my x session is persistent. Licenses are cheap, too.
Yes, much like the mall is to us. Not all of Indonesia is Islamic, Bali is mostly Hindu, Flores mostly Christian and parts of Lombok are Sasak, Balinese Hindu and Islam. But Indo is the most populous Islamic nation in the world.
Yeah, Indonesia is such a poor country. Whilst $1.58 is cheap to us, don't forget that the average salary over there is around $200/month, if that, which is why so many of them go work on cruise ships. When I was there a litre of gas was $.35-ish, a bottle of beer $.80 and a really freaking good local meal around $5 or so. So the rate may seem cheap, but it's actually quite a bit for your average Indonesian.
Perhaps Maryland has come to the sad, sad realization that The Advanced Maryland 'Automated' Network Disk Archiver is the biggest POS ever to come out of that state? And that calling Pavel at Zmanda http://www.zmanda.com/contact.html for help is a doomed task? Just sayin', that's all...
I agree, I was at a MS security (yeah, I know, it was a day off work) conference and the guy with the ghey ass flames on his shoes was carrying on about pass-phrases and how adding spaces into a password made it a lot harder.
something like:
! My first car was a Lada#&&
that would be really tough to crack.
With a lot of those products and of course their commercial brethren, I can only say this:
open source=not finished.
But by not finished I mean not fit for public consumption. I would absolutly love to use OS software, but it's just so....not quite there. Always leaves me wanting just a bit more, which may very well be familiarity. See, the problem with most OS products is that you must scour the internet looking for a solution to get it running on your box, never installs quite right or works just so. A recent example is when I gave Ubuntu another shot on my lappy, and I went to install a PHP developing program, Zend. It said it needed Java to work. No sweat.
sudo apt-get install jre
And the damn thing failed. So I restart, try again. Nope. Head over to the package manager. It says it Java is installed. Try installing Zend again. No luck. Uninstall from the package manager, init 6, install from the package manager again. init 6 just to be safe. No luck with Zend. format, head back over to windows. Get the installer going for Java, take a dump, come back, it's done. WOW. Away I go!

Isn't this how Xenu tricked all those folk under the auspice of tax inspections? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu
zomg
So me peeing in alleys, beside dumpsters and off my deck is a good thing? as far as I can see the pee trail it mostly goes into the ocean!
