No, I meant it as "getting married means you will not have the same opportunities to grow as an individual.
This is because marriage means limiting your life choices to a subset of the possible choices. In otherwords, a level of personal sacrafice. Sacrafice is a loaded word, don't use the emotional content against me please.
I'm not saying that stress is good, I'm saying that learning to cope with stressful situations leads to growth, which in future makes those situations unstressful.
Yes, stress happens when Bad Things happen, but we can learn to deal with Bad Things so that they don't make us stressed anymore, so that they're not Bad Things anymore. That's why I say stressful situations can lead to growth.
I'm not saying, aim to be stressed all the time. I'm saying, at the submitters young age, there are going to plenty of new situations in life which will initially be stressful. If he runs away from them he will not grow. If he faces them and surmounts them he will become a Grown Up.
The various techniques you mention for relaxation are all tools available to people who are growing by meeting stressful situations. They are not a replacement for real life.
If someone is suffering from stress and failing to grow, that's a sign they've reached their inherent capacity, and by all means they should slow down and feel good about it.
Take this from someone who did NOT get a degree after leaving school.
Get your degree NOW. I left high school with good grades and instead of going to university I took a traineeship with an electronics firm, because they would send me to college and pay me too! Sounded great.
The firm was in the doldrums though, and morale was bad. I took the money and drank most of it. I didn't study hard because I coped fine with the classes I was good at and couldn't see the point of those I was not good at. I failed exams once too often and they sacked me! I was out on my ear.
I bummed about for a bit then went into business with a friend doing some development and consultancy for local small businesses. This was OK but didn't make a lot of money, although we did learn a lot and we had a good time!
I decided I needed to go back to university (age 24) so I did, but I'd learned so much on my own that the first year and half didn't challenge me at all. Again, I didn't study and was lured into contracting when I should have been at class. Also I discovered women and threw my energies into that. The problem I met here was I had my first heartbreak while I should have been finishing off my degree. Of course, this may not apply to you.
I dropped out and got a mediocre-paying job based on my work experience and incomplete tertiary education. I did well and got promotion quite quickly, but then the company was taken over and the work dried up.
I was lucky, I got another job at a bigger, better company, paying decent money. The previous place is just now making the last of it's IT staff redundant.
But now I find my new employer is going through hard times, and will be making IT redundancies in a couple of months! Not having a degree means I've painted myself into a bit of a corner where I have to look for work based on experience and not qualifications.
I value experience above all else when it comes to real world work. But experience limits you to what you've done before. A degree is transferable. A degree with experience will get you anywhere. Experience on it's own will get you more of what you've already done.
I think I'll find a job fairly easily, I have no ties so I can relocate if I have to, and I have some money put by so I can survive a few months without work. But I wish I'd made better choices when I was younger. At the age of 30, my only way out of the experience-only trap looks to be taking an open-studies degree. I've already tried this, and it's lots of work at home when you're tired after a day in the office.
You're young now and the choices you make will provide a foundation for the rest of your life. Unless your some kind of genius, I don't recommend balancing a job with getting a decent education.
You're right that laughter and cameraderie in the workplace helps lots. I'd add that working with people you respect helps too. There's nothing more irritating than feeling you're carrying your colleagues. When I moved from such a team to one where everybody has their own skills and experience and are able to add value other than just turning up and saying the right thing, I got a lot happier.
But I don't regret working in the first team, it's made me appreciate the second much more!
Only downside is I no longer feel indispensable...
Stress is what we feel when our current abilities are being challenged. It's also at these times that we grow as individuals - we learn to deal with situations which once caused stress, and hence become more capable. This applies whatever the cause of stress, even if it's a stupid boss that's doing your head in, you have to learn to deal with stupid bosses.
I think you're much to young to stop growing, much to young to run from stressful situations. I also think you're too young to be married, but your early marriage is associated with your personal needs to grow as individual. Maybe you've already grown all you want.
So obviously it's a personal choice how much stress you want to endure, taking into account how much you have already grown, how much you want to grow further, and your capability to do so.
No, that was your inference. My interpretation of his post was "the law is an ass". There was no need to take his court-room analogy quite so literally. This is only Slashdot.
Yes I would be happy doing that. It's just when you speak to people who use the big proprietary Enterprise monitoring suites they kinda scoff at a quick and dirty perl script. Anyway, for my purposes I will indeed probably knock something up in Perl.
Is there anything Free around to give per-process historical information a la BMC Patrol ("Draw me a graph of memory utilisation over the last 4 hours for PID 3325, and show me how much of it was in real memory and how much was in swap"). OK the graph is a nice to have, the data would suffice.
Yeah, while true; do; ps -Fp3325 >> data.txt;sleep 1;done but I'm looking for something... Enterprise... I hate that word.
No it's not fucking optimal. With cgiproxy you can use any website and render all it's content on your full blown browser. And as I've already said, it will work across any proxy even if... even if HTTP connect is disabled for christ's sake. This cannot be said for the putty idea.
If you have an insecure proxy, then yes. If you're company's proxy is secure (no connections to ports other than 80/443, examines application layer headers to ensure any CONNECT method is indeed an HTTPS transaction) then no.
So no. NZs post does NOT work for all places. Now quit arguing with me!

I knew this was going to happen.
Tell me what you mean by emotionally maturity, please. Otherwise I can't understand you or reply intelligently.

Woe, not whoa.
I don't mean to be a Nazi but the difference is so fundamental is must be elucidated.
"Woe" means, in this context, distress or affliction, misfortune.
"Whoa" (also spelled "wo", "woa" or even "who") means "slow down horsey".
No links, 'cos my Oxford English Dictionary does not support HTTP.
Does it really do per-process statistics (in particular paging space utilisation)? OK, I'll read the docs properly!
Yes I would be happy doing that. It's just when you speak to people who use the big proprietary Enterprise monitoring suites they kinda scoff at a quick and dirty perl script. Anyway, for my purposes I will indeed probably knock something up in Perl.

The only point you've made is that you're a moron!

Goodbye.
sshd -p 80
Yeah, but I prefer to run my web server on port 80...
On the whole I think given an optimal solution is available (cgiproxy) all the non-optimal solutions are... non-optimal.
If you have an insecure proxy, then yes. If you're company's proxy is secure (no connections to ports other than 80/443, examines application layer headers to ensure any CONNECT method is indeed an HTTPS transaction) then no.
So no. NZs post does NOT work for all places. Now quit arguing with me!
This is Ask Slashdot. The Asker did not mention ssh. zcat_NZs answer was not suitable for 90% of corporate workplaces. Mine is. Now go back to sleep.
That's 'K' - Karl Marx.
Filters look at the domain name and/or IP address. You can obfuscate domain names a bit, but most filters cope with that.
That's not going to work in the large number of corporate workplaces where web access is forced through a proxy server.
The ultimate bypass is to run a cgi proxy on an ssl site off your cable modem.
Please tell us more about the 1% of songs you want names for, but you don't know the songs. I am interested in surrealism.

Nah.
