Who the hell can tell you what you can do on your own time? Were yuo an indentured servant? If I was at a job that told me I couldn't write software, build a birdhouse, WHATEVER, I would no longer work there.
Solaris and NetBSD 99.9% of the time. I have different machines with different OS's. I DO have a WIn2k box. It's the smallest box I can find that can run Win2k. I access it thru rdesktop. The only reason I have it is when "friends" call me for tech support, I can tell them what to do (I never memorize steps). It's off all the time until I get that call.
Honestly, if the company does not know what to do, I would NOT recommend them as a MS Solution provider! On a serious note, I really think a company has to "eat its own dogfood".The company should know what it needs (of YOU if you are the only tech there) If you don't know, how did you get the job?
Could it be they can hire a platoon of Indian Programmers to work around the clock for the price of 3 American programmers? Microsoft is not a US company. Sure, they base their corporation here, but they don't hire Americans.
and people look at the pretty colors? 85% of my online time is learning new things, researching topics, etc. I don't give a rat's ass how "pretty" the page is....Hell, I use w3m half the time (in emacs)..
I have a 4 bedroom house..me , my wife, the 3 cats and my "lab". I STILL have my geek room, where I have all my servers running 24-7. One monitor for all of them....I have a kvm for when I need to see boot up screens, but it's SSH all the way! (Or citrix for that one lone Win2k server)
I have 3 cats (Chubba, RedNuts and Booga) and Chubba was me and my wife's first...he fetches...he'll even drop stuff on my lap letting me know he's in the mood now. It got a little too carried away one day..he usually wakes me up by clawing on my chest at 7 AM promptly. One day, he went out that morning, and he came in and dropped a dead bird on our bed..I woke up to a dead bird carcass on my chest....I was mortified, but I didn't get mad..I know that's his way of showing me love..it was a gift;)
Even though Jack Chick is a loon, that's neither here nor there. What is the definition of a Christian? One who follows the tenets of the Bible (the teachings of Christ). You are a Muslim because you follow the Koran. If you do not follow the Bible, you are something ELSE, not a Christian. If Catholics READ the Bible, instead of allowing the clergy to interpret them instead, they'd see that what the Catholic church teaches and what the Bible says are complete opposite. Just because Catholics believe in Jesus just means they believe in the HISTORICAL Jesus. That's like saying I believe in electricity.Saying you follow his teachings, yet don't is being something else. I Timothy says not to follow those who forbid marriage! That's one example.
Too bad the Catholic church isn't Christianity... According the the Second Vatican Council, only the Vatican has the right to interpret Catholic laws, and tradition comes before Biblical teaching. That's why Catholics pray to saints, the exact OPPOSITE of what the Bible teaches.
Stratovarius is fantastic...so is Jeff Waters from Annihilator. Of course, my favorite is Slayer...saw them for the first time in 1984 and was BLOWN away...I've been a fan since...
I was never into punk too much..I was into NYHC (Agnostic Front, Sick of It All, BioHazard etc). Even though Minor Threat was from the DC Area, they still fit the bill.
OK..hours may have been a slight exaggeration..I downloaded the ISO's for the x86 about a year ago, and no companion cd..everything was from SunFreeWare. And for my SparcStation, I had copies from a client of mine. I havent installed Solaris at work in about 2 years, we've been using AIX, which really isn't much better in the software category. Although there IS www.bull.net
I have NO idea why I said that....probably my normal habit of doing 3 things at once and typing the last thing I did./etc/hosts,/etc/host.ex0,/etc/inet/hosts
both x86 versions and Sparc (I have an Ultra and I run x86 on a Dell Optiplex). Solaris is SLOW on x86 because of I/O. But as a server, it runs like a champ. The funny thing is, It takes a lONG time to get a usable system with Solaris. A default install is practically useless. It takes hours to install GNU tools, Apache and any other tools I need. I've been using Solaris for about a decade, and I STILL forget that you need to edit 2 files to change the IP. (/etc/ifconfig and/etc/nsswitch). I always thought that was dumb. I only remember that I screwed up when CDE no longer works. Oh well. I will not upgrade to x86_9 unless it has REAL benefits.
I have Optonline (Cablevision)..I bought the Cable modem for $100 aththe Wiz and I plugged my cable wire into it..I then called them up and send to connect me...took them 5 days..but they did it. No fuss, no mess..
It's hard when that's where your mortgage comes from:) That's why I do my research ahead of time..I use Chase (I hear fleet works great too) and it works superbly

Wow! I submitted an article/program to Compute's Gazette back in 84 or so written in Comal. It was a version of Pong...I gotta see if they have it...

I only go by what the Bible says, not tradition....it's not slanderous. Go to http://justforcatholics.org for more info....

Has anyone done a unbiased comparison of NetBSD on PPC (which is much more mature than FreeBSD) with Mac OS X?
You're right..I guess I want it all :) I guess I'm spoiled from using Linux thta I expect the latest and greatest :)

/etc/hosts, CDE doesnt work.
If I just change
I've been to sun freeware, however the binaries are usually not upto date.
Don't know what the heck I was thinking..the 2 files are /etc/hosts and /etc/inet/hosts along with /etc/hosts.xx0

PPPoE..that's what Verizon has...but screw Verizon...you can use a local DSL provider that doesnt use PPPOE

More details please...I can't even click on the Login button!
So, you're telling me a script kiddie can install a keylogger on my Linux or BSD box? How so? When 99% of script kiddies use "Windows-hacks-in-a-box".
