Some DoD projects require common criteria certification, it has replaced the old rainbow books. Damn fine idea to get the allies using the same standard.
I wouldn't be so sure. When I lived in Sri Lanka many people were upset with the US over our support for the Mahaweli Dam. The project caused havoc and difficulty which some people blamed on America.
FYI, the link I provided could be about as biased against the project as one could be but seems to be the only thing with even basic facts.
... but what im trying to say is that democratic countries have much more poor people relatively speaking...
While this will sound trollish, care to site some supporting research? The only work that I have seen done points to a strong correlation between affluence and democracy. Sure it's not quite the same thing but being a poor American beats being wealthy in many other countries.
How much fan can it be with hundreds of Neos runnning around going 'No, No I am the one'?

Review: U-571
·
· Score: 1
Why do I get the feeling Daryl has been seething about this movie for months?
Comparing U-571 to Das Boot doesn't make sense. It is much closer in tone and realism to Black Sheep Squadron or Crash Dive, though with a much larger helping of whiz-bang glitz, lower levels of accuracy, and the jokes fall flat. I seem to recall several other action-comedy WWII films or tee vee pieces showing up around that time of BSS but cannot recall the names at the moment.
I'd be pissed too if I saw U-571 and was expecting something on the level of Das Boot but damn it has John Bon Jovi in it. That alone should have reduced the reviewer's expectations. It's a popcorn movie, get over it; move along, nothing to see here.
Code Complete also goes over layout and style, the other two pillars of readable code. Check out the link in the previous sentance, it is to the author's site which includes sample chapters, the table of contents, and a link to deal pilot where you can help the author by giving him the referal commission and get the book on the cheap.
Using a resume to apply for blue colar work is like searching the Infoworld classifieds for cashier openings at Giant. If you want one of these jobs, go in and fill out an application and track it all the way back through your work history. Make sure to include low paying jobs, do not buzzword them to death. Don't translate salary to $/hour, simply list salaried. If you cannot get your head around the application, talk to a friend doing that kind of work.
Emphasize you are going back to school or strongly considering it and don't light up like a Xmas tree when computers come up. Almost anyone will hire you despite sky high figures if think you want to do something while educating yourself.
All you are doing is saying, "I want to do the work, I can do the work, and I need the work".
That said if you cannot find any techie work chances are you are not really looking hard enough. How many employers a day do you contact? Do you customize your resume for each one? I know it is hard, I had a three month lull lately. It was my issue for not writing a proper resume for the PEs. Try 'What Color is Your Parachute' and 'Break the Rules'; success seems to be somewhere in the middle.
Also, appeal that unemployment claim. You are getting screwed.
I really don't understand why every UNIX distribution isn't making these moves.
Some vendors started well before Sun.
IBM comes to mind. What do you think the L in AIX 5L stands for? HP has a different take but an interesting one for HP-UX 11i. Don't forget the company formerly known as SCO has Open Unix with LKP. Honestly I am sure Linux fits in with just about every other Unix vendor these days but you can do your own homework.
You might want to ease up on your Linux horse. I love the OS and spend most of my time there at home but it still has a ways to go before being truly competitive with Unix on the high end. HA clustering, Failover, Common Criteria certification, and widespread SAN vendor support are still lagging.
To pick on just one aspect of your RH tools + Solaris kernel theory, imagine adding heartbeat support to all those tools. Sure it's HA & Linux growing by leaps and bounds but it will take time.
I was not advocating Anarcho-Capitalism at all, nor have I ever done so. The orginal post was either under the false impression that all forms of Anarchism involve the elimination of private property or was trying to play the ideological purity test game.
I spent a fair bit of time with a large defense contractor with a propensity for orange and to sue former employees who tell stories.
At one point our customer's analyst, an atypical one for the company, decided that the shipping charges were just too much and decided to do it himself. He arrives in a VW Jetta and manages to pack the back of it with equipment, getting about half of it inside. After his second trip he got everything but was so baffled on what went with what that we had to send people to the site to figure it out for them. Probably turned out penny wise, pound foolish but I don't know the numbers to say for certain.
My second little shipping story involves a couple big wooden crates that had to go from the mid-atlantic to the southwest. The company priced shipping and decided it was too much. So they send a guy named Crash from that big old southwestern state with a freaking U-Haul. They toss it in the back and he drives it down on the sly. Somehow despite 'rumblin and crashin' noises Crash heard on the way down by some miracle it worked when we turned it on.
China probably wouldn't take the US head on but China invading Taiwan while the United States is busy elsewhere is possible. The other possibillity is a proxy war. China is not shy about publishing agressive statements and is buddy buddy with quite a few nations in our sights. Probably not as extreme as the links above suggest but I wouldn't write off China as a threat.
I'm glad the CIA is thinking about it, better than being caught flat footed.
The vendor whose Linux support that simply blew me away was Sangoma! They wrote a quad port PPP over HDLC Linux driver for the S5142 WANPipe card to solve my company's problem. We needed a router to handle 8 PPP ports for an old leased line and thanks to Sangoma we had a cheap and robust Linux solution.
That was back on 2.2.16. I remember some changes in the PPP kernel code caused problems on releases above that but I am sure it's ancient history now.
I cannot recommend Sangoma highly enough. Great product, service, and people.
I hope your right but they seem to becoming increasingly common in the greater DC area (along with big brother street cameras). I don't see too many people getting upset about it.
Reminds me of commercials running before movies. I used to write letters and boycott but after a year and half I gave up. All the theaters had them.
Right now, you can buy a $5 blender at kmart that will work - once.
In a word, bullshit.
Not only will you not find any such blender at Kmart but the GSA publishes a manual that would easily get your satisfication and money back in such a case. If your getting poor quality purchases you need to RTFM about being a intellegent consumer. No government can save you from your own stupidity. Just call your local and state consumer protection offices and stop acting like a victim.
I want a comphresive WxWindows book styled like Harbison and Steele's 'C: A Reference Manual'. It might be hard to picture but stick with it a moment.
I want an Introduction to Computers book that works from each of the widgets and keystroke combinations to teach newbies how to use their computers effectively by focusing on teaching from the building blocks of applications on up.
I want a book covering libtiff though I am uncertain how I would want it layed out or if anyone else would care.
I want a book modeled after OpenBSD styled code reviews for security, technique, and coding practices.
I want someone to reprint all three of Marc Behm's stories in one volume. Ok, so that one wasn't a computer book. Sue me.
Now if you pay me an advance, I'd even start writing some of them...

Don't even get me started about CC.
LOL.
I was not advocating Anarcho-Capitalism at all, nor have I ever done so. The orginal post was either under the false impression that all forms of Anarchism involve the elimination of private property or was trying to play the ideological purity test game.
And complete lack of control/ownership of information (and everything else) is a basic principal of any anarchistic state.
So are you just dismissing Anarcho-Capitalism or just listening to Indymedia's lame FAQ too much?
You're american, right?
Your generalization is out of date. After some legal changes the American beer landscape changed.

iocat is spot on with this one.
That said, if you are doing contract work already you should aready know. Get thee to Nolo before you get yourself into trouble.

Yeah sure. That same 'people won't stand for it' argument was floating around about why 'Red Light Cameras' would never show up in Fairfax county.
After you get your first automated ticket complete with photo you just might change your mind a bit.
Not to deflate your balloon but 641C still has trouble with multiple sections. At least with my resume...
It depends on how one means it.

So is this a deal? Too many combo devices and I just don't follow the things... Yeah PCS & Amazon lame...whatever.
Do you really mean 'net'? I can see the enclaves in the web but outside of that it appears to me to be quite the contrary.
It dumps an image of an X window.
