  1. Re:One step at a time! on After College, What Type of Jobs Should One Seek? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Agree 100%.

    As a engineering manager I expect to see a good 10 years of relevent operating system experience before I'd even consider you for a senior position. Applying for a senior position as a new gradutate will lose you credability, in fact you may even become a laughing stock (but I'm evil)

    You're too young to specialise, find a company that wants general engineers so you'll get to try a number of things (kernel/user/network/admin/testing).

  2. Re:This is... old on A Quick Look At Mac-On-Linux · · Score: 1

    I doubt I'm the only person using VMware for Linux development on Linux.

    It allows me to separate my working environment from my development environment. I can upgrade the machine without worrying that I am going to change the build behaviour.

    It also makes writting kernel code a doodle.

    I'd like to be able to do the same on OSX, sort of LOM, or virtualPPC

  3. Re:Red Dwarf on Best Sci Fi Currently On Television? · · Score: 1


    How can you say the recent series aren't good? I defy anyone not to laugh at the expression on the T-Rex after it has just eaten cow vindaloo.

    Bringing back the ship has opened up a whole new set of story lines, the three batchelors in an apartment was starting to get a little stale.

    I can't wait for the movie.

  4. Vision supported on Linux ? on Lego Mindstorms AT-AT · · Score: 1
    In addition to the AT, they also have some new vision stuff that I haven't seen before, so that you can add a camera to your robots.

    Does any one know if this is supported under Linux ?

  5. Re:Dynamic resizing of the X display on XFree & Rendering · · Score: 1
    Why ? Because back when X was designed there wasn't any need to run less than maximum resolution so they coded the screen resolution into the initial protocol sequence between server and client.

    Changing it now would break all old clients. Unless it was done as an extension, and even then if you were running any old client, changing resolutions could cause problems for that client.

    Oh your card doesn't support the new resolution that you requested in the current depth. BadValue.
