If I remember correctly, don't quite a few sats run on i386 and i486 procs? They'll fall from the skies in protest! Oh noes!!
Realistically speaking, I'm kind of glad to see it go. Especially if they have been having to make things overly complex trying to retain backwards compatibility.
Thanks for the memories, Taco... I've loved/. for a long, long time.. (Though I wish I could have gotten my original user back after losing the password and changing jobs...) We'll miss ya, man. Good luck on the future and enjoy some family time!
A nand gate would be good to build with transistors since those are used in RAM and modern circuits. Also power supplies can't go wrong either (for charging a cell phone or something.)
If you want, I'll give you the long version of it, but bottom line is you'll have to start at the bottom (helpdesk) and work your way up. Because a sysadmin tends to work with very critical systems, you'll have to build a reputation of handling more and more responsibility with the same amount of precision. Basically, you'll need to outshine your peers for quite a while.
That being said, I've worked with both degreed and non-degreed people. Experience is the only thing that ever seperated them. Degreed people, I've noticed, tend to complete jobs more often; but I have found that they also tend to think a little too highly of themselves and ignore the people who have been doing it for years.
So, it'll be a struggle, but I, along with quite a few other/.'ers, are living proof that it can be done.
The sdparm settings work just fine. I have a 250GB Free Agent that I bought a few months ago and got it working without a problem. Sure, it's irritating and I wish Seagate had put something on their site about how to disable that stupid feature, but it was easy enough to get rid of and I have a very happy, working Linux system on a USB drive. I can plug the sucker in anyplace, and it'll boot so long as the Boot USB Drive option is set in the BIOS.
And yes, that's my comment in the LJ as well. It worked better than any other solution I found.
Really? Got any good links for welding tips? I'm about to start arc welding as soon as I get my garage cleaned out a bit more and clean the oil off the floor. (My career is systems programming/administration, my hobby is rebuilding/restoring cars)
Be nice to be able weld my own floorboards in and handle sheet-metal patches. (Yes, I'll have the argon addition to my welder when I get to the sheet metal patching)
Haven't you heard? Being autistic is the newest fad! First it was ADHD, then dyslexia, bipolarism / manic depressive, now it's all degrees of autism. Wow!
I have a cousin who is in his 40's and not very functional. His parents are getting on in years and I'm worried about his well being. He can't function in the outside world, so if this would help him finally adjust, then by all means!
Or you will be working with your local linux users group and local companies to get equipment donated to set up internet kiosks in the shelters so that people who don't have access can get online, fill out forms, find family and friends, and look for jobs.
You know, with an id that low, one would think that you'd be used to it long by now, and yet you expect differently. 9 years running and you expect to get a different result from putting the same shit in the system.
Obviously the son of fucking Einstein folks. Carl Einstein, the long lost tard of a bro of Albert.

Quick! Sell the location to the Melnorme before our Ur-Quan overlords detect our shields aren't working!!
Oddly, I was thinking the exact same thing.
I thought it was:
x degrees Celsius = (y Kelvin - 273)

How DARE you make any sense!! Those are all free things that just happen! Volunteers and all that. FEH!
Just update the sucker for more modern hardware, chunk it to 64-bit ops, and let's relive the C=64 days!
Nah.. BASIC was fine...
10 for $i=0 to 50 ...
20 read $x
25 poke 22000+$i,$x
30 next $i
40 data 00 04 96 28
All the assembly you needed via Basic :)
Now that is an excellent idea! I'll have to look into that for my kids.

Uphill, both ways, in the snow?
Hope they wouldn't do like me and blow it all on coke and hookers...

All hail Burka-squirrel!
I demand my indents to have 2 spaces, not 4!! It helps it fit on the page ...
Hehehe.. Actually it does seem to be faster to read, but I'm not too sure on the comprehension portion of the description.

What version of Konqueror? 3.4 does not render it properly. I don't have a safari browser handy to see that one.
So THAT's why I haven't been able to get Megatokyo for the past several days. Darn Tier 1's disrupting my day!

Oh wait.. that's what I'm doing.

I know a few folks who still play Role Monster, but I am definatly not one of them.

I think his midiclorian count was exactly '2'.. required membership, of course, requiring 2,000.
YIKES! I could not do that, evar!
