I was doing a bunch of cgi crap on saturday night and I was grumpy because I was going to be gone for a few days and I wasn't going to get to work on my ideas until tuesday. But as I was checking my mail and Slashdot before I left, what do I see but this wonderful thing that allows me to do my cgi on the road! I just don't want to really run a web server off of my laptop.
i think that i speeled it wrong, but that amaythyst seemed like a very nice laptop at linuxworld. damn. oh well, i have my dell. (which doesn't compile DRI!)
i have an LCP. the tests are not very hard. I only had time to take the Install & Config test, which i passed, and the networking test, which i failed because it had WAY too much samba crap on it. I had never used samba before, but i knew all of the TCP/IP stuff and everything else!! (sorry, i'm still a little upset about that.) i got vouchers for the test i failed and for the other two and i can take them at a whole bunch of locations. the tests are not that hard.
As for how useful it is, i am a student, so i haven't got a job based on my certification (but I'm gonna apply for a job at VA or at Loki, so let's hope that it helps;->.) Although the company that i was currently working for payed my way into the conference so that i could take the tests. i have the certificate hanging on my wall and a card in my wallet and they are quite satisfing. At least they give me some credit.
Tell your newbie friend to really study his ass off because while the tests are pretty easy, you will need to know some pretty screwed up stuff to pass. The one hour long semi-classes that they give before the tests are fun but don't prepare you much.
wow. this is just stupid. why? who would want to hack slashdot? just go hack aol if you have to be high profile and retarded. i hope that slashdot doesn't get hax0red like kuro5hin did:-)
I'm currently at the oreilly open source conference 2000 in monterey, ca. I am having a great time even though I live here. I saw the anouncement of the GPLing of staroffice and openoffice.org this morning. hey, if anyone else reading this is here, my name is greg mcclendon, I'm about 6ft tall and I have a evil geniuses in nutshell t-shirt on, come find me. -greg
ok. first off, let me say that I own the game and I already played it in its entirety. this is another case of brain-dead politicians making decisions on crap that they know nothing about. on the news sites linked to in this article, they are talking about renting games and video arcades! this si a freakin' computer game! it isn't in arcades! and I wish that I could rent computer games! In fact, I admire the SOF developers for their parental controls. there are warnigs all over this product talking about the violence. parents can lock their children from playing with all of the violence options on. I tried playing with them all off, and it isn't very bad at all. in the US, stores are starting to obey laws regarding selling video and computer games with an "M" (mature) rating. I'm 15 and the only reason that I got the game without my parents is because one of my friends works at Electronic Boutique. i think that it is a very nice game, if you can't stomach it, turn off the violence options (hey, it runs faster and smoother too!). -greg mcclendon

that is to make up for the fact that windows doesn't have a reall web server (yes, yes, I know that apache can run on windoze).
i think that I will get this as my trademark and change my name to it--->

i'm pretty sure that the cd burner featured in this god-forsaken movie must have a rating of nearly 900x. I think.
