If the spam filter could intercept outgoing mail. I would sneak into my goddamn in-laws house and install Mozilla if it would eat every forward-of-forward-of-forward-of-forward message they tried to forward to me based on rules like:
1. Says "someone is testing something and you get $NN.00"
2. Says anything like "angels watching over us" or "a mother's poem" or other such bullshit.
3. Says "This is really funny"
4. Says "We'll be over on Tuesday right during dinner when you are trying to put the moves on our daughter/your wife."
Umm, not the last one, really. Just got on a roll.
I am really in the mood for a religious flamewar. What topic do you suggest? I was thinking along the lines of "what language is best?", but I am not so sure. What do you think?

You could well argue that it's "real world" experience, not a degree, that separates the shiny certs from the experienced [doctor|teacher|sysadmin|etc.]. But committing to a 4 year degree or similar program tells me, the customer/employer/whatever, that, at the very least, you've got the experience provided by a university and the sizable investment that suggests you'll likely stick it out.

Passport vs. Plan 9

Assuming the a bank caves into the pressure of offering single sign on services (be they Sun/MS/NKOTB/etc.), what well-respected financial institution worth its salt would not request some other little widget of confirmation info? Kinda like extra 3-4 digit number on CCs now.
"Welcome back, Joe Blow, please provide your Ferderal Massive Dollars of Walla Walla ID number."
Single sign in would then be for the more harmless kinda stuff. And if a bank did rely entirely on Passport/whatever, then change banks.
This whole thing doesn't seem quite some earth-shattering to me.

Bullshit... you prioritize the problems your customers ask you to prioritize. Home users don't want security? Fine, then stay the hell out of server-land, because those customers expect you to fight that battle tirelessly.

... a while back. Right from their site:
"Although the general public often seems surprised when librarians don't fit their pre-conceived image, the profession has celebrated its own differences for years. Librarians are funny, irreverent, interesting, and often radical people. Though popular culture includes considerable library material, it often ignores those on the fringe."

Well executed. Nice comeback.

CNet's headline was:
/. wanted to keep the flameworthy/trollbait word "stomp" in the headline, our headline should have read something akin to
Ballmer: United, we'll stomp on Linux
Notice the lack of quotes? Notice the phrase "stomp on Linux"? CNet did not make a journalistic mistake; Slashdot's editors did. If
CNet: Ballmer wants to stomp Linux
PDHoss
No, quotes indicate attribution. If you are not attributing, don't use quotes. One more time: In a journalistic sense, quotes indicate attribution.
PDHoss
Where in this article does Ballmer say he is going to "stomp Linux?" Nowhere! Journalism 101 people! Don't fight FUD with FUD!
