    Is the answer that 90% of the job can be automated because most admins never bother to write a script?

    I know of at least one sysadmin who probably couldn't write a script. He used to think he was the king of computer security and his root password was 'aardvark'. I am not joking and this was in an Australian top 100 corp.

    You know, I just had an epiphany.

    The above quote, (which I wrote) is wrong. That isn't the business model. The business model is: Lead clients to BELIEVE that you can pull in street vendors, hand them a stack of written procedures and turn them into sysadmins for a dollar a week. That's all that's really necessary. Whether it's true or not is immaterial.

    Don't forget to buy options and profit on the drop in share price.

    If you are 30yrs and wearing a Walmart name tag, you're made some serious vocational errors in your life....

    You have no idea just how lucky you are. I very rarely wish vocational and economic disaster to occur for someone but I make an exception in your case.

    You have to look at the intention of the law. In the US the percentage of legally blind people is 0.03%. People with disabilities should just accept that there are things that they wont be able to do. I know that isn't very PC and I will get hate for saying i. Shit someone has to don't they?. This is about forcing people to register their real identity when the first log on and that data being available everywhere they go online automatically. It is to make anonymity online as close to impossible as they can.

    It is definitely not irrational. This is a threat to the food security of an entire planet. There have been open air fields of corn grown that have contained genes specifically inserted to kill human sperm. Certain species of scientists(thankfully not all) cry that correlation != causation but do we have to see South America die off before someone says let's be careful as there appears to be a correlation between levels of corn consumption and declining fertility levels in those groups? Maybe a better idea is to put HFCS in everything, damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead.

    I haven't bothered to put any links in this comment specifically because those that care already know these things and those that don't couldn't give a rats anyway.
