To know God you have to study God's works.
We call this Science. Darwin Studied God's
works and showed us Evolution, That is God's work.
If you can't cope with that you will never know God.
ok perhaps that's not what you wanted to hear.
So after working on unix for 10 years when LInux came out it was a no brainier to use that. It took my employer a while to get a brain, but I persisted. Moving my desktop from an x-terminal to Linux was great.
I am not a sysadmin, I am a programer, but when you are the only one that can get the admin work done right, you have to do that as well. Did I say I worked for the army for 30 years, sad place most of the time.
Certification did happen, but the driving force for that was
all the non-trained windows admins that needed to be cleared out, and upper management was obligated to lump all admin into one pile. So they payed for the classes and I passed the silly test.
As for the catch-22, my mother would say volunteer, find a unix users group that's is setting up a Linux lab and get a letter that tells of your experience. I guess Certification is a viable path. But in your case it seems you have the experience, just go back and get letters of appreciation from some of the jobs you have done. You can write the letter just have then sign them. I think the point is to show an employer you can problem solve and grow with the job.
The Telco's will NEVER provide quality service to everyone. I live 3 miles from the down town pop sight
and all that Verizon will run here is slow dsl over the old copper, no new infrastructure since the 1950s. Oh perhaps a new pedestal when a car took an pedestal
out. So yes anything but bypassing the telco's will simple be corporate welfare.
So no two bucks will not get us anything.
I all ready pay 5 bucks extra, and got nothing for it.
Sure paying $25 for
my slow DSL (700kbits/sec) is all Verizon can get away with, but the deal was $19.99 per month. before the bait and switch. Oh, and there is no alternative to the monopoly at this location. So I an stuck with what ever I can beg for. If the last mike was open access, the it would allow other ISP's to do business.
That's what we call capitalism, where many people compete to provide the best service st the best price. What we have is Monarchy where one, tells us what to pay for a level of service that they are embarrassed into providing.
The emergence is that the FCC gave away the Radio bandwidth and we are taxed to use it. We should have done this 20 years ago and the last mile problem would have been solved and our G4 access would be wide spread on everyone's roofs. Al Gore let this one slip by. Just shows
what he invented was a corporation controlled Internet.
Why didn't we think of this before...
Oh ya, we did. I do like the idea of nodes the size of a quarter and powered by a solar panel.
I saw an Interview of Richard Stallman last night.
It was rebroadcast from a Russian Tv (RT).
The Interviewer was clue less, but I can bet
You will not wee that sort of thing on US TV.
We in the US here, are like cows with corporate/government
controlled computers and phones
with built in holes and back doors all ready built in.
Free software or ( Richard will shoot me for this ) or
open source systems MUST replace all systems that
are not open and free for the common man to fix the bugs.
Computers are to serve us, little do we know computers
are serving the corporations.
The last mile of the network is a great place to start.
If we can not teach Science How do you expect to have a population of educated people. The US already puts more people in jail then any other country in the world. There has got to be an underlying problem with our government that
holds hear say from some holy book over Science.
Learn English and write quests. That's story telling.
Are you good at writing a good story?
Take Art classes and make skins and Landscape.
Can you paint with oils?
If you want to do graphics You had better know how to
wield a rotation matrix! That's Linear Algebraical. You
did not take that in high school. At not in the US. Perhaps
some other countries teach that in high school bu not here.
At my collage a renown grad student said Calculus taught
programers
symbolic manipulations, I think any good programmer should
cope with that. Math will not hurt you if you have
any smarts at all. But perhaps you should learn to paint.
What do you want a trash CSS like Slash dot.
Slash Dot looks better if you turn CSS off.
HTML was written so people could publish there papers
online. But HTML has gotten so ugly under the hood
most people would not could not publish a paper in HTML.
People have lost sight that in the fact that simply is

.
If your gaming platform was Linux it would be stable.
Windows has so many holes in, its never going to be stable.
You only hope is that the producers make Linux CD's
for you. With the ability to install. But of course
UNIX's philosophy is source code compatibility,
some thing that few people understand the value
of that. Source code implys open source and its hard
to hide away your profit margin in that case.
Open Source code is why Linux(UNIX)
is portable across so many
hardware platforms. Windows is not portable it
only runs on Intel chips.
Linux has been the go to desktop for people
in the know.
I know have used Linux as my professional
desktop for 20 years.
How ever getting Linux people does
not imply any change to the game clients.
For Valve to work, and it does,
one has to assume it runs on Unix
and and in this day Linux is the #1 Unix. So getting
Linux developers to make the Valve servers better
is a no brainier.
I was just before the start date of MSNBC.
About 10 to 15 years ago.
When Bill Gates wanted to produce a set top box.
It was deemed a conflict of interest.
Bill Got mad, I assume, and bought 40% of both
Comcast and NBC. Thus the birth of MSNBC
and a big cable player to carry it.
Today MS has a set top box its called the X-box.
So you can see its not hard to get the votes
for things like Merger when one party holds big
piles of shares. You can almost expect random
votes to push you over 50%.
It only follows a take over of all of the Internet
By the interests of a few, and another way of
extracting cash from the rest of us.
So 8,000 workers 12 hour shift.10,000 phones made per day.
Assuming 3,000 of the workers are management and do not
make phones. that 5,000 workers make 10,000 phones
per day. Wow, no wounder it can't be done in the US.
As long as we understand electric cars are powered by Coal!
Until we figure out that that wind, water, corn, grass, and
geothermal power will never meet the demand for powering
our cars.
That Nuclear power is the only practical green solution. Electric cars will not reduce pollution no there own.
None the less electric cars do allow for
alternative power solutions.
And we will run out of petrol sooner or later.
ok it seems that the CCD
was invented at Bell labs. What a place to have worked 30 or 60 years ago. Still the two line drama is fiction, a fable. since it has
a lesion to be learned.

Mod this guy down, at least until he explanes

PS. I know Obama got this one right,
Even if he is just supporting his own.
The fact that the Congress does not understand
the first amendment, that the Internet needs
to be free of abuse from ISP's just goes to show
how uninformed the Congress is.
If nothing else siding
on a few ISP's over the greater industry that
is the Internet seems counter to Congress's own
beliefs, whether its pro business or pro people.
Why the Congress is going pro ISP is unbelievable.
Unless the Congress is just being anti executive
branch in spite. That has to be it the most
childish option. Go figure.
If the Congress had a clue they would give teeth to the FCC's rules. Perhaps even make the
rules simpler.
Incase you do not know what is at stake.
We know Comcast and Time Warner Cable want to
sell you TV and Movies. If there local
cash of content at there ISP's is fast(1080p)
And the Internet upstream is slow(204p) or
simply broken then the ISP has a Monopoly.
Net Neutrality fixes that.
Or if the IPS wants to charge other providers
for sending the data both to the Net and then
on top of that to send it the last mile.
Net Neutrality fixes that.
Science fiction has had some major predictive flops as well, such as when SF legend Isaac Asimov famously suggested that computers would become so big and so powerful that they would eventually grow to the size of planets.
I think this has come to pass.
Well at least a computer that covers
parts of the surface where we live.
Its called the internet.
Perhaps not quite what Asimov
had in mind, but its here, now.
Does Verizon wanted data or advertising.
One could get a lot more data from a simple
cheap monitoring device(like the USB computer).
Pick a phone with a GPS and a signal strength
output. You might need to hack the phone to get your outputs. Then program the device to make
calls and record the signal strength and
location over time.
Results out of standards can be texted
back to a central monitoring sight using the same phone when it's back in an area with phone
service.
Now that you have a cheap set up, put one in
every Verizon vehicle. You could even take this
one step more and get hikers to add the device to there pack for data off road.
The power of the Smalltalk-80 desktop is what we
all are using today. Xerox failed completely. Steve was the one that got the GUI found on the
it rolling. True The X-windows system was close second (what I use), and the true open source version. The Lisa followed by the Mac
was way ahead of the game, long in advance of MS.
I did get a change to use the Tektronix version
of the Smalltalk machine back in the day, but
that was hardly a main stream device.
Why wold any one have a phone.
Land lines are replaced with VOIP.
And who would pay long distance with
services like skype where calling around
the world is like $0.08 cents UDS.
to make the connection on the far end.
Then with the air waves stolen away.
We all should be boycotting cell phone
air time. Until we replace the piracy
with our own roof top infrastructure.
So in reality there are no phones
so it foolish to pay money for that.
I think, if I am not mistaken, that if you join
the Navy, you get a bunk and are fed food. What
other needs are there to be taken care of on star trek. So I think we are there, as long as you join
the navy.

The time of the Phone is over.
And the Monopoly on the Internet must end.
The FCC must free up Radio bandwidth for open communications. Think open roof top router grid, with many Ma and Pa ISP's to pick from.

I like the picture: "The last Kodak moment?"
I think I saw something like this on shashdot, since the CCD was invented at Kodak:
Kodak Employee: I just invented the charge-coupled device and can make pictures with it.
Kodak Employer: You bone head we make and sell film. Now stop wasting company time and and get back to work making better cheaper film products.
Just goes to show that if you can't think out of the box, in time you will fail, Sooner of later.
