  1. win2k cgi is faster on Hotmail about to collapse under load · · Score: 1

    what people don't realize is that win2k/iis is faster for cgi than fbsd/apache due to the fact that iis is kernel level. Sorry but it's a reality and stability isn't that huge of a problem when you are using a farm.

  2. That Wonderful Shipped Benchmark on Linux Grabs #2 Server OS Sales Spot, NT Still #1 · · Score: 1

    It is too bad that actually knowing use vs. shipments is almost impossable to quantify.

  3. A rose by any other name on Guillemot Acquires Hercules · · Score: 1

    Not that it will be a steller company but look at what happend with Prinston Monitors. I remember them from the 80's they were pretty good monitors but the only relationship with todays company is the name which they aquired a couple of years if i remember corectly.

  4. Re:I know why they will do extremely well... on Cobalt Public Date Announced · · Score: 1

    This is not always true. Actually a company i use to work for just a few months ago who are a .com and had there ipo this last summer opened very poorly. They opend at $10 (the price they sold to all of the employees) went to $12 once and have been hovering at about $6 for quite a while now. I'm just happy I didn't buy any when I had the chance.

  5. Re:The ultimate Apple II game on Perfect score in Pac-Man · · Score: 1

    Conan only worked if you had the Original disks or some times you could get buy with makeing shure your drives speed was exact. I can remember my first apple ][ games were mad ball and blister bomber :)

  6. Win Programers on Impact of Windows Programmer Hordes on Linux? · · Score: 1

    One word VB :(

  7. The full story...? on Faster Encryption Algorithm Found By 16 Year Old Girl · · Score: 1

    So wouldn't this indicate a possable vunerability to a chosen plain text attack ?

  8. Solaris? on Sun plans open source Solaris? · · Score: 1

    Have you ever seen a Sun E10K ? Even DEC Alpha server 4100's don't allow you to hot swap/upgrade cpu's and ram. I like linux and use it a lot but it still falls short in some very important areas

  9. FPU?who cares on Corel Netwinder GS Available · · Score: 1

    The NetWinder RM will provide twice the density and has a faster cpu? And what do you use the FPU for on a server ?

  10. Admin jobs on Ask Slashdot: What Training is Necessary in Becoming a Sysadmin? · · Score: 1

    these are the steps I took to become an network engineer.

    1.) learn hardware (I started when the IBM 5150 was new)

    2.) Help desk (you learn a lot about users here)

    3.) Get a job as a PC tech (not very cool but you learn a lot)

    4.) play with every os/computer you can (my at&t 3b1 helped me a lot with odd unix problems and it was cheap)

    5.) Read like crazy (I have a book shelf full of ora books)

    6.) Go to college (take programing you don't learn very much aplicable sysadmin stuff here but if you know how things work and how to code in a pinch you are far better off)

    7.) Work as a Jr. Admin or Tape Monkey (use this time well higher ups will teach you a lot)

    8.) Work for startups if you can (trial by fire is a good teacher, plus you get to play with and set up new systems)

    9.) Keep reading (This step never stops)

    10.) learn stuff others don't want to (cisco config, sendmail, VPN, etc...)

    Even though you could go get tons of certifications i have never found the need they cost a lot and are out of date way too fast. Learn to deal will calls at 2 a.m. and don't fix freinds computers and you be in geek heaven.

    P.S. After i obtained experiance and a name in the industry nobody seems to care about my college :( but it helped in the begining
