My question is, whatever happened to hiring starving college students for a startup? I've had a few gigs where I was paid in hosting space, or spare parts. And that experience allowed me to take on far more demanding professional work.
because of the cost of education and the anticipations set forth by everyone in general, people expect to march right out of school into a 60k/yr job with no previous experience other than internships/co-ops. try hiring college grads for beans and let us know how it works out...
i don't think the bitmap specification or process of rendering/displaying has been in flux for some time. one could take this as an indication that ms has done some proactive code auditing, noticed the problem, and corrected it.
with its selection, i'm still glad i signed up with napster due to the 'all you can eat' subscription. i don't particularly care if i own the music as long as there is a lot of it and i can listen to it from a net-connected pc.
of course, if iTMS made a $10/month plan i would probably switch because of its library, large userbase, and hardware support.
this is a big tax for the use of a singular tool (modula-3 is a huge compile), especially considering the fact that gentoo runs on non-i386 architectures.

"Why the hell would I watch people play something I could be doing myself?"
do you listen to music? you could play instruments too.
watch movies? you could make your own with a digital camera's trivial film mode.
ever notice that people involved in sports tend to be avid fans of professional sports? ever notice budding musicians tend to listen to other, more accomplished musicians?
it's because they can't do what the pros can, at least not yet. they're able to command massive salaries because the audience is watching, and the audience wouldn't waste their time to watch bush leaguers.

The Matrix: Resolutions
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
i just got back, and while i wasn't as disappointed as most seem to be, i still walked away only thinking it was 'okay'.
after i saw reloaded, i thought that there were a lot of interesting possibilities. we had seen bane who was clearly smith, and we had seen neo take down a sentinel in the real world. a few possibilities, in order of preference:
1) neo became part machine as smith became part human, part of their meld 2) neo is the messiah, which translates to 'all worlds' 3) the real world is infact another matrix
#1 is a stretch, but it's believable in the world we're described.
#2 seems lame, as everything would be at face value and simply handed to us in reloaded
#3 breaks the movie's own rules. if they did that, however well they did it, it would effectively make anything able to be rendered invalid with a thought. 'oh, oops, another matrix!' it would be difficult, for example, to feel anything if a character was killed off. this would be similar to superman suddenly NOT being affected by kryptonite, which is a rule of that world.
i can look past some silly stuff. for example: - morpheus gains 30lbs in an hour's time - people start calling each other by nicknames ('merv', 'trin') in an hour's time - the young indian girl and the trainkeeper seem to have no real purpose - they should have selected someone other than an elderly african-american woman to be the new oracle - sentinels weren't able to be shot at in previous movies; only emps worked - for that matter, sentinels never relayed back to other computers when they found a ship - the twins seemed to die pretty easy in that explosion
etc, etc, etc. all forgivable.
what i would have liked, however, are 2 key things:
1 would be the 'meld' explanation, having neo only have increasingly powerful machine abilities as smith has increasingly powerful human abilities. this would be another 'character learns his strengths' part of a movie, which is always very entertaining.
2 would be monica belluci being the mother of the matrix. the architect scoffed when neo asked if she was, and we can now unfortunately presume that it's just because he doesn't respect her terribly much or doesn't like her being referred to as 'the oracle'. it would make sense that monica belluci be the mother, having gone against the merovingian to help the good guys in reloaded, etc.
i would have also liked werewolves (vampires got enough coverage) to be better explored.
i feel like the whole architect scene in reloaded split the audience into 3:
1) people who don't really care, and just want to enjoy the story. 2) people who are turned off by all of that over-their-head mumbo jumbo 3) people who see potential depth and are intrigued
the people in group 1 will be the people in group 1 no matter what happens. the people in group 2 have been pissed off, and the people in group 3 are set up to be disappointed. in this way, i feel the movie delivered. why split the audience at all, then? why the semblance of complexity when there isn't any? if they had kept the end of reloaded simple, group 1 would stay the same, group 2 wouldn't be pissed and fall into group 1, and group 3 would accept that the movie has become more simple and be surprised if revolutions was anything but simple.
i don't know where i'm going with the rest of this, just dumping some thoughts. if i get some responses, i'm sure i'll have others.
raid only provides availability. if your fs gets hosed, you delete a file, or whatever you're unable to undo the damage. ditto if your pc gets burned or stolen.
if you want a real backup, make a real backup. if you want to do it cheaply, buy another drive, copy the contents of your data drive to it, and store it someplace safe. buying an external usb2/firewire enclosure will make this a lot easier.
i went to the office 2003 launch today and learned all about it. they demonstrated that none of it worked.
i didn't, however, see any mention of requiring a.net passport. that would probably be for PUBLIC email that you wanted to control. for internal mail, you run your own drm server against which the mail recipient authenticates.
similar reports have been echoed by major retailers such as electronics boutique
check out their front page and you'll see the #1-selling game is the gamecube soul calibur 2, followed by the xbox soul calibur 2, followed by...f-zero gx for the gamecube.
content counts, people. nintendo makes great first-party games, and people buy them. namco made a great third-party game with a compelling bonus feature, and people have bought it.
- no concerns about light control. if you're using a front projector, your room has to be DARK.
- no concerns about burn-in. unlike plasma, lcd, and crt (direct view and rear projection) the screen cannot have an image burned into it. watch blackboxed 4x3 television, play video games, and watch channels with static logos without having to deliberately balance your viewing.
- lightweight. samsung's flagship 61" rpdlp set weighs only 100 lbs. a 40" wega direct view crt weighs 300 lbs (and most of the weight is in the front of the unit).
- little calibration required for optimal viewing. most alternative sets need numerous factory menu tweaks in order to get acceptable color levels.
- inexpensive. compare the prices:)
- dvi-hdcp interface for future-proofed hdtv compatibility. also a perfect pixel reproduction as a monitor.
the only maintenance needed is a $250 lamp every 2-3 years. i know a lot of these comparisons have been in contrast to front projection, but they should all be weighed.
look at samsung's rpdlp site (they're the only major people pushing the sets so far), hit the avs forum for much better advice than you'll get here, and then check them out at your local store. most major department stores (best buy, circuit city, etc) have them on display unlike front projection units.
from interactive intelligence, artisoft, etc, but i don't like entrusting my dial tone to pcs with tons of moving parts and a general-purpose os.
i'm presently using and love my inter-tel system. all the hardware is in a small blade-like rack, no atx power supplies, cpu fans, or hard drives to fail and take my whole system out. the voicemail system runs os/2 on a single blade with storage to an industrial laptop hard drive. all the database programming is done via a windows app, and while the gui can be limiting, the phone system can really do just about anything.
i'm using 10 channels of a t1 with digital ids for phone numbers, and multiple complexities (hunt groups, independent companies, analog breakouts, ip phones at 3 remote locations, etc). i've been using it for about 2 years and i can easily say it's the best stuff i've encountered.
and the largest bell 'competitor' around here is birch telecom. they compete on price and service, but afaik still use sbc's line facilities. due to anti-monopoly laws, they're forced to allow this.
i've never used their residential service but i know of some small businesses that use them and were pleased with the service.
i was convinced by adam spier's page and the zsh faq to give zsh a try - it was even a netbsd system that prompted it. i got sick of administering freebsd/opensbd/netbsd with different shells and i wanted to standardize on something with the features i wanted.
bash was tried first, but when i started playing with misc options like vi mode, got deeper into completion, etc i realized that bash/ksh weren't appropriate long-term choices for me. auto cd to directories, amazing completion options, typo correction, shared history, and a proper vi mode (see this for the confession from gnu's docs).
'knowing' zsh will largely translate to bash/ksh systems when you use them and zsh is not available - you'll just be reminded of their shortcomings:) the basics are largely identical.

if you use windows 2003 server, AND you use exchange 2003 server, AND you use outlook 11 you can connect to exchange directly w/outlook via ssl w/o a vpn. this is good enough for many people.
they've changed the exchange/outlook pair to be much more remote-friendly and less bandwidth intensive.
and to get it out of the way, floppies completely suck. they're unreliable. if these systems have disks or cdroms you should avoid them like the plague.
what i don't understand is how you think that a floppy-based 'distro' could somehow be generically immune to whatever problems you'd have with a typical (in your case, debian) image.
it's a monolithic kernel. it has the drivers for most common components already. if you're planning on using one kernel with a boot floppy, your reasoning that you can't image because of hardware variance makes no sense.
you'll be using one kernel in both instances, and the image/hard disk-based one has so many advantages alternatives aren't even worth considering.
