EVERETT -- The Boeing Co.'s hiring spree came to an end Friday when the company announced it would cut 4,500 positions by the end of April.
"We are taking prudent actions to make sure Boeing remains well-positioned in today's difficult economic environment," said Scott Carson, president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.
Non-conductive is a different thing at 5,000V at 10A at 1MHz than at lower frequencies and voltages. And most of these things are out in wet cow fields (drive out Marine Dr toward the house boats and you'll see a nice directional array there.)
Er, how about us hippie broadcast engineers? I know not to climb a FM tower while it is live and I know not to touch an AM tower and the ground at the same time (you have to jump to the tower to change the light blubs:)
I'm an old hippie that is into ham radio, ex-broadcast engineer, wifi junkie, and general RF geek. I can report that my charkras are fine and dandy. See how they glow.
I had Verizon DSL and POTS. I decided to go with the T-Mobile @home VoIP service and dropped my POTS with Verizon. I kept getting paper bills which I would then go to my bank site and billpay. About 4 months later my DSL service dropped and I got a nice check from Verizon for the exact amount that I had paid them the last 4 months. Seems that they changed my account number and I didn't notice so I was canceled. I then find out that you can't pay for just DSL at the Verizon stores but must call a third party to pay with a CC. Then they tear down the physical circuit and re-connect it. They did it wrong (mispunched the pair) and then I spend 3 weeks on phone support and binder hell before a guy comes out to look at it. It looks like I'm getting connection to the DSLAM but then we disconnect all my CPE and it still shows that I'm connected. Wrong pair.
I keep all my logins in one place: my head. For most places like slashdot I just use the same pair (I've never changed my original/. passwd.) Anyone that has known me for sometime knows this pair (hint, the username is either nethead, joe or w7com) I have a few more secure pairs that I use for my bank and domain register are a bit more secure. For routers and servers at work I just learn them, and mostly it's my fingers that learn them to the point that if I have to share it I would have to type it on a keyboard to be sure.
I don't get it. Why do people move out to the country if they don't want it to be like the country? Because they like the city even less. It's not safe for their spoiled miniconsumers and there is no room there to build their new starter-castle and pico-estate. They want to live the soap-opera lifestyle and do so by incurring deep debt. Just wait a few years and I have a feeling that a lot of those estates will be dark or at least most of the lights busted and unrepaired.
Cisco should be happy that they came in third and not second?

I loved getting the big yellow Google box at my last job. And it came with a black Google t-shirt too! I had one job setting up a NOC for sextracker.com back in the day. I ordered 10,000ft of Cat5 in hot pink. Made it easy to find my stuff in the colo.
Which means you kinda have to know what you're doing to get those services running. It's much more secure to have to turn things on to make your server do its job than to have to hope you've shut everything down that you don't need.
I agree. The best car I ever had in the snow was a 67 Bug with studded snow tires on the back. One trick I learned was (when) to use the parking brake to just stop the back tires on ice and thus keep a bit of steering control. In my first year of driving it didn't un-freeze for 3 solid (ice) months. I learned ice driving quickly and have never lost the habits. The first time ABS kicked in on me later in life I about freaked.
One rule for snow/ice driving: Don't do anything suddenly. All the other rules can be extracted from that.
I must say that was a clever way for the botters to get a transfer vector. I would have hijacked it back and pointed it to your own ad-snarfing page and get the hits for yourself:)
Slashdot Mirror
Maybe the Boeing order could help save some local jobs?

There is a strong connection between LSD and BSD. (and yeah, I've abused both.)

Cough... Enron.
Push button BGP configs? So that's why I'm looking for work!

Very close format to the broadcast cart. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcast_cart which were erased by a bulk eraser.
Hey! That's the one I use on my luggage!
The one I keep in my truck.

I'm not that much of a karmawhore!
Actually DDOS spelled the death of my IRC server (irc.nethead.com for those that may recall.)

The airline messed with the wrong family; the father is a lawyer. This will be an interesting story to follow.
I'm 47 and have been driving since I was 15. I feel the same way you do.

Good reply to a oddly worded question. Had mods yesterday.. but so far, none yet today, so: Happy New Year!
