Well, when I administer UNIX/Linux, I have 10 xterms open with ssh. the CLi is a dream...ever try to telnet into Windows (can you even ssh??)? What commands can you use to do the SAME thing in *NIX? Can you reconfigue dns, Apache, or the IP address? Add users as easy as useradd? Change passwords with pwd? is there a websinterface for all these commands in windows?
Sometmes these "rights" laws go a little overboard...Do I have the "right" to go to your store? No..not at all. You own it, you do what you want..I just won't shop there if I'm not welcome. My wife is disabled, and she is of the same mind. The ability to go to a site is not a "right". Is it a right because an act of congress says so? My best friend is the VP of a major movie theater chain. The entire crporation has complied with the ADA. They have deaf equipment. Those are popular. They had them b4 it was law. However, putting braille on the wall to display a list of the movies has been a waste of money. No one uses it.
My home network is a 100% UNIX/Linux/BSD network. In my firewall logs yesterday, I had hundreds of traffic to port 137 from port 1024.....So that's the virus, huh?
My job hunting is a full time job. Modifying my resume for each job I apply to is VERY impractical. I've tried it. I apply on avg to 20 jobs per day, and I will have a million resumes everywhere, and send the wrong one to the wrong person, etc. Plus the 6 hours a day I spend job hunting would turn to 8
I do it now...I support the anti-H1B visa program (Not completely, but the US has made the immigrant influx at an all time high) Go to http://www.projectusa.org for information on this movement.
Explain the "tech worker shortage" they were touting a couple of years ago which caused them to allow 400,000 tech workers a year from India? If there's still a shortage, we should all be working.
Even though I'm not a liberal red diaper baby, I think Martin Luther King was one of the better DEmocratic Spokesmen. He was not the left-wing of today. He said "Don't buy from any company that won't hire you". He was referring to the blacks, but it applies everywhere. For example, MS is 85% immigrants and H-1B Visa workers, and they expect Americans to buy their products, yet they won't hire Americans. The economy is not controlled by the "elite" who are for globalism and cheap labor. Keep us out of work, but still expect us to be good consumers.
I have 2 resumes. One LONG and one short. If I send the shorter one (no matter how many times people tell me that's the one to send), I don't get calls back. If they need experience with a Sun E10000 and I only have listed a Sun StarFire (due to space constraints), they won't call me (I've checked). So, the big one lists everything that I can remember using, and then they say it's too convoluted.
This may seem weird, but I went to college to learn, not to use a product! I'm didn't pay $120,000 to learn a corporate product. I lpaid that money to learn how to think and apply the skills you were taught anywhere....this is why our education system is down the toilet.My wife is learning how to sew w/ a sewing machine...is she learning Singer? No, she's learning sewing, that can be applied to Singer sewing mahines. (All sewing machines are different).She was taught the right way...learn the concepts of threading a bobbin, and you can use any sewing machine. When will the "advanced" field of computers catch up?
I never has to be taught how to use a Word Processor. I think it's an obvious thing. What DOES need learning is Document Formatting. Paragraphs, punctuation, margins, etc.
Ah, so you'd rather have GORE? This is what he said last week in agreement with Mrs. Feinstein...we should wait until we KNOW they have weapons... How will we know 100%? BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! I'm against war, but it sometimes can't be avoided. Believing we should all live in peace is an idyllistic attitude. *I* believe in peace, however unfortunately there are others who don't have my view point. Take 9/11 as an example..they weren't offering an olive branch, my friend. I want peace, but not at the loss of our freedoms and way of life. Do you protect whats yours? If we believed everyone was inherently good, we wouldnt put locks on our doors, and our prisons wouldnt be overflowing and we wouldnt have the entire Muslim Middle East trying to eradicate our existance. Peace is a noble cause, but it's at times unavoidable. Attacking Iraq now, showing them that we are not to be toyed with is better than Hussein emptying out the Uranium mines in Zaire to launch some missiles at us. Hussein is a smart ma. He wouldnt just launch missiles. Biological warfare is his game. If we can't even protect ourselves from West Nile, what makes you think we can protect ourselves from smallpox?
I like the Finnish system better. It stops frivolous law suits. I was glad you didn't say that lawsuits in Finland are payed by the governmnet (AKA, public money)
Please don't confuse oratory skills with leadership skills. Someone can be a GREAT orator and a horrible leader. Someone can be a great leader and a horrible orator. They are not synonymous. (Martin Luther King, Jr was a great orator. I don't know about his leadership skills. Hitler was a great orator, AND a great leader, although he was evil. Hitler was a greater leader than Idi Amin!
How do you network when all the people you know are unemployed or every person you know who you've asked has no openings at their job? I've asked every person in my family, my wife's family, I even put a posting in the church newsletter!

Thank GOD I'm not the only one! That's EXACTLY what has happened to me. The best one yet, is when an EMPLOYER has 16 guys in a room interviewing you all at the same time! I've had 3 in the past month. Last one was 23 guys being asked the SAME question, one after another! And 4 of the guys were from the same recruiter as me! I was wasting my time. On my resume it says 10 years of Solaris...on one of my interviews this month the HIRING manager asked me if I used Suns! I'd like to know who GETS these jobs. I want to do what they do...
Maybe I'm different, but I have never called a Tech Support Number..even for my job. Maybe it's a pride issue, but as a professional, I'm paid to know certain things, and if I don't know, I find out. Damn, my mother could do my job if all she did was call tech support.(That's how alot of people do their jobs, actually) I'll give an example. I bought a Microtek scanner last week that is compatible with Linux. Well, sane kept coredumping whenever I tried using the scanner. I checked the sane site and no details on this in the buglist or anywhere else. So, I scanned the microtek site for any info..no dice. Did a google and deja search...nothing on it. So, from experience, I figured I had a dud..returned it, got a new one, and it worked. Sure, it took me some time, and I knew that tech support would have me do everything I already did, to just tell me to return it. I know, this is OT, but I just had to say it:)
OK..I see your poimt, but I'm 35, have been doing this so long it's almost second nature, and sometimes I feel that I'm getting $100k for doing stuff I LOVE to do,,,I feel I'm the only one at a company who loves my job, and everyone else is miserable!

Hmmm..then why are they still here. Actually, there was NEVER a shortage. It was the US's way of getting cheap labor.
