Heh...thats's funny....actually..on my home network...the tasks that people did at my last company ARE performed by shells scripts. I have a battery of shell scripts that I've collected over the years
What if, you have a fleet of Sun UNIX servers, that never go down, and they just keep you around "just in case"? So, you just read/. all day and get a big fat paycheck every 2 weeks. And, if a server DOES hiccup because a developer feels like deleting the code that was already there, and you fix it in 2 minutes, and nobody sees yuo do it, does it really happen?:)
What if your sysadmin sucks??? What if he's a 2-bit MCSE and has to call tech support to get the network back up? (This crap DOES happen..I was replaced by just a person)
I used to be president of a company a few years ago...I got my own coffee..I did all the crap I had to do myself...why? Because I was a regular employee once and am now. Head of a company does not mean you get to have servants around you....it's not royalty!
I'll take a bite too...If I buy a Toyota that has a KNOWN defect in the brakes that allows a person to simply turn a screw by the door that makes the brakes no longer work..who is responsible? The guy who turned the screw? Or toyota? Or BOTH?
I use evolution as my email client, and it has the excellent ability to filter mail as it comes..I can filter on subject, or address. If I get spam , I can right click the spam, and do a "Filter on Sender", and then I can do a *@spam.* to autodelete the spam. I have about 7 email addresses, and I have so much spam filtered..it takes a couple of seconds for it to "crunch" all the spams...Nip it at the bud I say
I tried Turbo back in 2000, it was HORRIBLE. It seemed very much like a RedHat ripoff, with nothing extra. Plus, it didn't perform well for me..so I dropped it from my repertoire.
I learned enough about JSP by going to the third section of the JSP tutorials on devshed, to get a grasp of it, and everything else, I could just look up..devshed is great for kickstarting your knowledge, but then you must move on..
I went to college in Buffalo, (had an apt in Amherst...right near Daemen College and Perkins:)) and if you think peopl ein Amherst are rich, you have to get out more..they are more affluent, but not rich....come to the Gold Coast of Long Island if you wanna see rich (Carnegies, Gugenheims, 90% of Wall St..)
However, I guarantee those guys still have a job somehow..or, they didn't add that mistake to their resume;) If it was MY fault that my entire company's network was completely trashed, I couldn't, in good conscience, call myself a professional anymore...Just like if it was my doctor's fault for completely trashing my body;)
*I* think Linux is easier to use...I can do practically anything I want....just read the documentation if I don't know how..the things I have become dependant on in Linux, are impossible under windows...even now, when I use a windows box, I open a command prompt and actually expect it to do something useful:)
The Linux community is not TRYING to make an OS that is as EASY as windows..The community is making a fast, robust, secure IS that works......and w/ power comes a learning curve. How come every one and their mother took MCSE classes when they knew UNIX admins made double? Because, they KNEW it was difficult, and windows was easy...
Shit, when "I" was a kid..EVERBODY had a C-64... We were the geek squad of the early 80's:) Then, some poor sap got a Apple IIe for Christmas because his parents saw that he had them at school:) I even went to Commodore Camp!
Well, both my wife and I think that natural selection should work...we survived Legos, Tinker toys, etc....We don't need to protect our kids from stuff like that...
Yeah..I had an atari 800XL as well as the Commie 64 (besides a TI/64a and COCO and others). I had Pinball Construction Set for both of them (I was big into the warez scene back then)

Hmmm..I never have to press ctrl-alt-del..I'm a UNIX admin...The MCSEs at the company do that....

Hmmm..so THESE incompetent "professionals" are still working, while, I am not? Never ceases to amaze me..
Is there an alternate source? Will Bugtraq still be on there?

As VB itself is not free, the DLL's and OCX controls you are compiling w/ are not under the GPL, VB code, can not be GPL
Exactly...I would love to have help with documentation on my own project..documentation is harder to write than the code itself I believe.
Assertive would have been a better word..the word 'agressive' has negative undertones

I'll installl it, but I still won't use it...make a small 500 MB partition just for the unused Windows OS :)
But, you need less UNIX Admins than you do an MCSE.
Remember Little Computer People?
That was the inspiration for the Sims
