Get an education, in just about anything. This shows you can stick at something and aren't a total biological wirte off.
Get skills any skills. I know more about toilet plumbing, electrical and rough carpentry than I really want to know. BUT if the shit hits the fan I can get work in construction.
Teaching can be a real bitch and is alot harder than most people think. Don't count on it as a fall back.
I still think anyone who sets out to become a sysadmin is crazy, it's something that people tend to fall into by accident. Like, do people wake
up one morning and say, I want to work in bomb disposal, or bioweapon quarantine control? Crazy!
Hmmm... 38 and thinking of moving into Unix administration. Always wanted to be in bomb disposal. Read the book "17 seconds", watch Danger UXB to understand why. Bioweapons quarantine? Sure no problem. Point is all three involve doing things right and fixing screw ups in a hurry, lots of job fulfillment.

NAME
nsswitch.conf - configuration file for the name service switch
SYNOPSIS
/etc/nsswitch.conf
DESCRIPTION
The operating system uses a number of "databases" of information about hosts, users (passwd/shadow), groups and so forth. Data for these can
come from a variety of sources: host-names and host-addresses, for example, may be found in/etc/hosts, NIS, NIS+, or DNS. Zero or more sources
may be used for each database; the sources and their lookup order are specified in the/etc/nsswitch.conf file.
Indications are that the Tsar employed a huge number of mathematicians to replicate and expand the work of Babbage. The were able to construct a difference engine of enormous size in a remote location well away from foreign agents.
Unfortunately, they tried to implement a GUI called Okha '08. The metal gears and spools could not handle the added centriptal forces due to code bloat and vapourized in a cloud of molten brass causing the reported explosion.
The Russians chose not to investigate in order to preserve their secret but the in the 60's the KGB, using records of the project used a sleeper agent to plant the seeds of Okha '08 in the fertile soil of Silicon Valley thus ensuring the downfall of western civilization.
ITS THE SAME ISSUE. The WTC attacks were an attempt to influence American thought. So is this politically correct screwing around with the English language.
When you limit the language you censor it. Where is Fool=> Jester, joker, trickster, comedian, victim, flan (sic).
Joy in small things - ELKS - Linux on a floppy

·
· Score: 1
ELKS fits on a 720 floppy and is quite usable as long as you can handle vi.
My real reason for posting this is not so much the linux ref, but rather the sense of satisfaction one can get from using so called obsolete hardware and software to accomplish real work.
ELKS and DOS 5.0 both run on my old Toshiba T1100 plus. Why bother? This machine originally retailed for $2500 U.S., I picked it up for $10 CAN. At some point in time when the buck was worth more, people paid a considerable amount for this hardware. Has that value disappeared? I don't think so. I can still run word processing software (WP5) and play games (Ancient Art of War, ZZT, and Rogue). The machine still does what it was designed for. Do you really need a massive OS and hardware to write a letter or bash a few bats? No.
Some will question this thinking. Why play Rogue or use WP5 when you can play Quake (or whatever the trendy fps is right now) or use MS office / Star Office. Even though we have Civilization and Free Civ some people still sit down around a Risk or Diplomacy board. Even though we can send email across the world in a few seconds, there is still something satifying about getting a real letter.
< Ducking the obvious anthrax posts. Email virii have probably caused more economic damage, and no, the loss of life is NOT funny in the least >
Finally, New may have more features, more functionality and in fact be "better" than Old, that does not make Old bad.
Not that cheap relatively speaking.

Nepal: GNP per capita (US$) 1996 $210
Add another five bucks to bring us up to 2001 and a YEARS wages buys about 5 (could be 10 if you found 2 sticks for $40) sticks of 32 meg. Awfully bloody expensive in my book.
So what we have, is an image prepare by ABC as a demonstation of how this type of steganography works. This strikes me more as an image found in the lab rather than the wild.
What I would like to see is a truly wild image culled from the net. Unfortunately, it probably would be kiddie porn.....
There was a big push on in Canada about 15+ years ago to "Buy Canadian". I was in the Bay (Hudson's Bay Company, quintessential Canadian store) when I noticed a snowblower plastered with a big Made In Canada sticker. Closer examination revealed, the engine was American the tires German and much of the metalwork Japanese.
I guess assembling a few bits does count as manufacturing.
The package essentially consists of a layer of very heavy gauge Velcro strips attached to the steel walls of the vehicle to which the composite panels are mounted. On top of this is a covering of rubberized canvas, again with strips of Velcro attached to the inner surface, which gives the vehicle the unkempt appearance. If damage occurs to the ceramic panels, they can be pried off and replaced on an individual basis
Not fat chicks. Real women with real bodies not some anorexic half-starved model who eats so little she doesn't event mensturate (sp?). If Kate Moss and her ilk turn your crank just give in and go do a boy.
Reactive armour was designed to counter HEAT (High Explosive Anti Tank) rounds. HEAT rounds used the shaped charge or Monroe effect to create a very high velocity, very hot jet of gas which then burns through the armour. A copper liner is usually added to increase the efficiency. This type of ammunition has been around since WWII (panzershreck, panzerfaust, bazooka, PIAT, various thrown and pole charges). HEAT is now usually found in support weapons such as TOW and HELLFIRE as well as Dragon and M72. It is still the best round for taking out light to medium armour and its concentrated punch is very useful in infantry support weapons.
HESH has been primarily used as a combat engineering vehicle round for bunker busting and the like. Most obviously in the 165mm demolition howitzer used by the British and if I remember correctly on the M60 based engineering vehicles of the US. It was also used experimentally in a round launched from an M16 rifle. Imagine if you will a rocket propelled basketball. The problem with HESH is that if it is fired at too high a velocity, the charge will literally splatter onto the target dispersing the charge before it can detonate. This factor makes HESH less useful in high velocity guns and at long ranges (slower round, longer time of flight, less likely to hit).
The primary tank killer is still the kinetic penetrator. Usually using a discarding sabot around a small dense projectile, these rounds punch through the armour of the opposing vehicle. The key to these rounds is cross sectional density, thus tungsten is popular as well as DU (depleted uranium), the stuff that everyone was worried about in Bosnia and Iraq.
Reactive armour, by exploding, disrupts and de-focusses the gas jet of the HEAT round rendering it much less effective. It most certainly will interfere with the scabbing effect of HESH as well.
Spaced and reactive armour is used on Canadian reconnaisance vehicles. It's attached by velcro........
I came into the job market in the mid 80's. Most Slashdotter's parents were ensconced in middle/upper management. NO jobs, LOTS of layoffs and bugger all security. You want to know why your situation sucks? Ask mummy and daddy.
Trendy? Hmmm then why have I been practising it for a decade and a half?
Part of the beauty of paganism, neo or otherwise is that it promotes acceptance rather than rejection even when it comes to deities. If you have many gods, whats one more even if his name is J.C.?
One doesn't have to acknowledge anything good in christianity but you do not have to deny there's anything good either.
Canadian Fire fighters have been in New York since Wednesday at the latest. Thousands of pints of Canadian blood are ready to be sent. Unfortunately, it looks like the blood won't be needed.

I agree. In retrospect, missed your point.
