Home Despot, er, Home Depot also carries this. Be careful though, there are two grades of shelving. The Cheaper one will never support 600-800 lbs. of weight. To tell the difference look at the cross support wires. if there are a few (like 3) then it is the cheaper stuff. you want the ones with 5 or 8 cross support wires.
Where I work is a subsidiary of NewsCorp. We have to pony up for the classes and do them on our own time to start. If you got the class approved by your manager ahead of time and you make a "B" or higher in the class the company will reimburse you for the full amount.
That is about the same as a couple of other places I have worked.
I just hope that unlike OpenSSH they won't make two versions - native and portable.
There are only 2 versions for portability reasons. The portable version is pulled from the OpenBSD CVS tree and modified slightly so it complies on other UNIX platforms with those things it needs from the OpenBSD libc (things that don't exist or don't work the same in other unicies).
I doubt you would want to try to checkout the source tree for OpenSSH and then try to figure out what files are needed to make all routines/syscalls work.

Don't compare Shrek and Toy Story 2

Linux and Shrek

Toy Story 2 is almost 2 years old. CmdrTaco is just playing the fool when he compares Shrek to Toy Story 2. In those 2 years technology at both Pixar and PDI has move along quite a bit. He should be comparing Shrek to Monsters, Inc., which will be released this year as well.
I work in the computer animation industry. All
the shops have been using perl, python, tcl, and
others for years to do production tasks. At Blue Sky
we use perl heavily. ILM uses python heavily.
It's all great stuff that allows for rapid development and building (sometimes glueing) systems together.
Fox only closed the Phoenix facility. The New York based Blue Sky Studios is still open and working on a full length feature (I know, I work there).
The reason the Phoenix facility was closed was that after 3 films the returns were just dissappointing. Fox is a business and this was a business decision, plain and simple.

We aren't supposed to hate Magneto. Yes he is the bad guy. Yes, he sees what they are doing as a potential holocaust. But he is the villian because he is trying to inflict harm to cause change, which makes him the bad guy.
The bad guys aren't afraid of just the congressional legislation, they are afraid of the hysteria it is breeding in the public. The fear factor is what is motivating them.
Well, i guess they used what they've always used. A combination of Maya, 3DS MAX, and virtually any 3D app from Alias|Wavefront out there that runs on NT or Irix. And to render, they use (no big guess here) Renderman of course. Myself, I'm using Max R3 with Renderman. But you don't care.:)
They only use Alias|Wavefront for modeling (becasue it has the best tools for that). Pixar has written their own animation tools that they have used for ever.
Re:Our FreeBSD enterprise

Which BSD?

Before I settled on FreeBSD, I tried OpenBSD on it and, while I was disappointed at first over the speed hit (logging in takes a good 4 seconds), I told myself it was worth it for the maniacal levels of security I'd have.
that extra time is because it was doing the Blowfish cipher on your password instead of the standard DES. If you have the number of rounds set high it can take a while to log in. you could always set the type from Blowfish to good old DES.
Why must everyone assume that Open Source software like GNOME is Linux software. Yes, Linux is the dominate OS right now, but if people continue to code projects only for Linux it is going to hurt the entire scene in the long run. When I write software I make sure it can run on multiple Unicies, not just Linux. If you don't have access to a UNIX system other than Linux you can still write software that ports cleanly, it just takes a little effort.
Realistically, could SGI port Irix to Intel chips? Rumor is that they already have. When it was inquired as to the availability we were told that it was not an option at this time. Could they maybe port 4Dwm, Indigo Magic Desktop (do they still have that?), the GUI sysadmin tools (which I've heard are good), the multimedia stuff, and all the 3D stuff to Linux or a BSD to get an Irix-like Unix environment running on one of those Intel boxes? That could be done. Doing that would put thier widget sets there too, and then things like Maya are just a skip away. -danimal

nope, it's Theo de Raadt. see his website.
Forestry schools require all pre-req's and won't let you test out of them if you are going for a degree.
Trust me, I know, I have a BS in Forestry. Now I program for a living at a computer animation company.
