If you have no job, you have 8+ hours per day where you can justify getting in shape. Being a lazy and complaining lard-ass (the world is cruel and food stamps make me fat!) will not help you land a job anywhere. Being fit, shaved and showered will definitely make a much better impression.
There are jobs in the cloud too. They're just smarter jobs, not I-run-a-server-in-my-spare-time-so-I'm-qualified jobs.
And who says you don't need support staff for open source software anyway? Hell if anything you probably need more when people can't find that button that does that thing in Word but isn't there in open office.
If a large company has resources that need to stay private, they don't mix private resources with public services.
Why is an Apache server even allowed to look at private resources in the first place?
So in other words, you don't mind that your thanksgiving turkey is quite burnt, because under all the scorched stuff, there's still some edible parts, yes? That's good enough, yes?
It's sort-of edible, so it's good enough, yes? No?
Good enough is entirely relative to the situation. You may think something is good enough where I don't. 60 FPS in a computer game is good enough for most people, but not for me. I hate playing at 60FPS. I like having 100+ FPS because the games just feel better at that range.
But no, good enough is good enough so I can't ever have more than 60 FPS, ya?
I can't speak for vpshere 5, their newest version which isn't very old yet, but my experience with vsphere 4 is all but good. While making the client crossplatform using java is a strong business tactic, I just hate it. I've yet to find an enterprise java application that doesn't feel heavy, cumbersome, slow and horribly outdated.
I'd even use a Microsoft MMC snapin over the vsphere client. Yes, I said it. Microsoft.
The names are pretty easy if you consider that they're just a slightly skewed version of every other profession, mainly due to outsourcing.
For example, indians/chinese guys are programmers.
Then you have what other professions call lab assistants, interns and wage slaves. They're now software engineers.
Then you have what other professions would call an engineer, which is a software architect.
And I can't remember what the last title comparison is.. Damn.
Oh, and on an unrelated note, computer science is a research line, not an actual programming line. It may involve programming, but it's a wholly different kind of programming than what most wage slaves are capable of. That's why the golden rule when hiring CS grads is not letting them touch a keyboard for the first few years, until they've actually learned how to program.
The only reason companies need to protect themselves against idiotic lawsuits like "Ouch, my coffee was hot!" is that these lawsuits are allowed to go through in the first place. These people need to be smacked in the mouth and sent home with a wet tissue. They shouldn't be allowed to sue for millions of dollars in damages cause their coffee was too hot, or cause they put their cats in the microwave or whatever else kind of idiocy the general population might come up with.
But it's not ray traced on tables, is it? It's ray traced on a 256 core system and then somehow displayed on a tablet. Or am I reading this summary completely backwards?
... for things to do. Do them well and ask for more things to do.
As for the whole "getting people their coffee" business, you have to be careful, because the second you let people use you as an intern, they'll keep using you as an intern. However, there is a difference between being asked to go get coffee, or being asked to bring a cup now that your cubicle-mate sees you going for a cup yourself anyway. That just means you get to return the favor next time he's heading out. But if you're told to get coffee, tell whoever told you to fuck off and get his own coffee, because he's the kind of person you won't get anything out of associating with anyway.

Oh get off your high horse, you SOCIALIST.
Discuss things in real-time using but get confirmation in writing.

It's stealing and you know it! Now pay up! $150,000 per byte of code!

And yet why settle for the "good enough" option when you can have "the best"?
Nothing wrong with being bi-curious, especially not on the road. Makes hitchhiking a lot easier!

It's actually quite good these days. You should try giving it a second chance.
War on terrorists, war on drugs, war on just about anything you can declare war on. These are not world wars?

Don't joke with stuff like that. It just might happen, y'know.

Yeah, we could counter the global warming by moving earth out of the solar system.... wait...

Oh but we do. We call them first and second generation immigrants.
That's the beauty of the internet. If you have to go somewhere or take a phone call, you press pause.
