kudos to you for putting something like this out. It really is aimed right now toward the Slashdot geek power user who wants more toys.. you can never have enough I say.
But when I try to go to your web site and I see this bull shit message about how I need to download M$ Exploder to view your web pages, dont you think you have a CONFLICT of interest going here! Your running a product with a Linux kernel, but like hell if your going to get on our web pages if your running a Linux workstation running something like Mozilla or Opera.
Go here for more information But also note they charge your $5 to do it online. DONT. You can simply mail in a letter (printable from this form), throw on a stamp, and away you go.
And it does work. My junk mail has decreased dramatically.
That's really kind of a 'flip a coin' problem. I'm a firm believer in getting as much as you can up front, because upgrading is a real bitch, both in terms of getting what you need, and the actual downtime/replace/blah blah blah bit.
Or you could go the other way and just make sure your source code is portal to most, if not all UNIX environments (I dont do Windows) by sticking with well established standards (ANSI, POSIX, STL, etc)
We have picked up and moved entire production systems with scores of applications from one OS to another in a matter of hours due to strict programming requirements that your code WILL run on OS-A, OS-B, OS-C, etc.
Some applications never leave the Linux boxes.. some are moved upto Sparc Servers. Other get thrown onto R24's.. I guess its a matter of a "flip a coin".
my parents who have no clue what the difference between a bit and a byte is can start rattling off MS Windows deficiencies, but it (will/does/is going to) take full fledge engineers to discover the same in the Unix systems.
After reading the article this is what I got out of it..
Here is what I want..
Here is the system I spoolley all over for..
iMa leet kewl doOd..
Daddy is going to buy this for me...
Film at 11
I mean the the article was written without testing... like this...
The heatsink fan on the northbridge of the KR7A-RAID isn?t that loud, but it causes vibration which produces noise. For that, you could just take off the fan. The KT266A should run fine using a passive heatsink,
Should? Should? Gawd...
Has this system even been built? All I see are pictures found on the products web pages.
And one final thing, when you take a "quickie" course.. they tell you what you should think. A good 4 year college will teach how to think for yourself.
Getting a "quickie" CS degree is like going out and buying a Yugo, it can get your around, but you just dont know how reliable it is.
Take your time and get the 4 year degree. There is no shame for taking time. In fact with benefits from work, taxes, etc, it may be better in the long run. If you want take ALL your CS courses first, and then grind out the humanities, science and math courses.
Dont be cheap on yourself.
I would love to give OSX a run for the money as my main desktop OS.. but the hardware.. gawd.. health insurance, dental insurance, 401K contributions, heating bill, groceries, gas money, mortgage payment... or the Mac... hummm.
If you take the current G4 733 setup ($1699), and consider what the "guts" cost, your going to end up paying about $1100-1200 for a case, motherboard, cpu and OS.. thats just insane. For $1100 I could put togethor one hell of a Linux box.
Garfinkel's book is great for a guy like me. They take every subject from a level that is trivial to understand down to as much detail as you need.
One interesting aspect of the authors' overall approach is that they are so platform neutral. I didn't expect this from a team that wrote books on Unix
I believe there is only so much that this book (which I have not seen yet) can cover. If there were "levels" of detail regarding a book, this sounds like it covers the first three, and leave the bottom two to that of the reader to explore furthor.
As for being "platform neutral", it should be. The "web" was never designed to be used for a particular OS or browser (though Microsoft would like to believe otherwise).
In general, Microsoft says it offers an "unmatched technology portfolio" while Linux is "a follower, not an innovator."
I am sorry.. come again??
And this is a company that still had MSDOS as base of there operating system up to 98 ME release? An OS they never even wrote?
This is coming from a company that did NOT have networking or sound support built into Win 3.1 but my old SLS Linux installation did?
This is coming from a company that created email.. no.. web browsing.. no... word processor.. err.. no.. spread sheet.. no... instant messaging.. no.. a windowed interface.. no..
As far as that goes WTF has Microsoft EVER made!
Lets continue... Hand Held PC's.. no.. game systems... no... finacial software packages (great plains)... no.. and operating systems... no.. gawd... etc, etc, etc!
And I developed the internet, gave Linus the inspiration he needed to develop the Linux kernel, and founded IBM, HP, Sun, SGI, etc, etc, etc. MS is not my doing.. I think Al Gore did that one.
I *believe* the story is "true" about the apparently confused person they caught *stating* these things, but that is all they are.. wild rantings from someone who wants to get there name in the paper.
Do you really think that international tourism hasn't dropped already? This little thing happened, something to do with planes. About 3 months ago. You may have heard about it on the TV.
Don't be a smart ass.
While i'm at it: I have never seen a koala. I have never seen a crocodile. I have could probably count the amount of times I've seen a kangaroo with one hand.
Dude, that is a shame. Maybe you should try to get away from the monitor a little more and experience the great outdoors and all the Austrialia has to offer.
If I live out of state.. meaning not in Washington, but receive and read my email on a computer stored in Washington (via http, telnet into a box, etc).. am I covered under Washington state law in regards to spam since the emails destination was a computer in Washington and resides on that computer in Washington?

Where is completed project?
Where is test of the decibals of it?
1 semester of Trig
1 year of Calc
1 year of statistics
1 semester of discrete mathmatics
First the little piece of paper .. well when heads come to role .. those that do not have that piece of paper are generally the first out the door.
... they are "ok" when it comes to programming Visual Basic. BS in CS to the max.
.. they tell you what you should think. A good 4 year college will teach how to think for yourself.
I have seen many people get passed up for promotion because they dont have that piece of paper.
I have worked with 18 month and "here is your BS in CS" people

That doesn't mean I should start driving over the countryside looking for native animals.
.. maybe your should!
.. no problem. I saw this in a game and thought that it was the best idea ever. First go steal a car and then for money ....
Well
What? No money

Many know that Linux has software RAID, but that is not your only choice.Windows 2000 also provides software driven RAID.
