IMO, a BS in Computer Science is practically a prerequisite to be a decent sysadmin. As many other posters noted, you don't really give enough information for me to choose your career path. However, if you enjoy that aspect of computing, your CS program will have likely laid a fine foundation for you to become a fine sysadmin someday.
Also, as other posters have noted, people don't generally graduate from CS programs being bad-ass programmers. The goal of the program is to show you how it all adds up. Being a decent programmer comes later, or completely orthogonal to the CS program.
Recently, I bought 2 pair jeans at the store, after trying them on. When I got home, I realized they were waaay to big. (odd, because I always get the same size of same brand)
Took them back, and got the next size down, which are still too big.
No two are alike! There is no conformity in manufacturing when you get paid by the unit.
Hilariously, while I was there, there was a dude and his wife in the next dressing room trying on clothes.
He said something like this:
"The ones from Egypt are too short, the ones from Panama are too long, the ones from Malaysia are too tight, the ones from India are too baggy.. They're all the same size!"
Well, I saw him on a really old 'The Fugitive' once, and he didn't pause that much, but David Janssen (the guy who played Richard Kimble), paused a whole heckuva lot.
So my question for Mr Shatner is: Did you learn it from David Janssen ?
We've had great experience with Comtrol RocketPorts.. (go find the url yerself!)
one PCI slot is good for 32 serial ports. of course, that involves buying 2 1u rackmount dealy-bobs.
then we use conserver (www.conserver.com i think).
it rawks.
At my old company, we used cyclades Z-boards with conserver. same shit, different channel. The nice feature about Cyclades was that you can daisy chain the zboards, so you can get like 128 serial ports from 1 pci slot.
and of course, you need newer intel boards with the serial bios crap, or again... SUN.
None of this helps you since you seem like you probably can't shell out $$$ for this stuff.
I can't wait until I can get my linux console over USB. then it's all done. just daisy chain the machines together, and go.
I went to UCSB, and I don't remember ever having to write code for exams. I wrote a damn lot of pseudo code, mind you, but that's how you get ideas across, eh ? I mean, how else to show that you understand an algorithm than by using it ?

Har har..

>DO NOT ADVERTISE PRICE AFTER REBATES!
From what I hear, Fry's Electronics changed their ads because of legal action.
They used to advertise "X dollars" with the words "after rebate" in microfont.
Now they advertise: "Y dollars - Z dollar rebate = X dollars!!"
scary. my units are different!
hamstrung:/tmp$ units
2083 units, 71 prefixes, 32 nonlinear units
You have: rods/hogshead
You want: kilometres/litre
* 2.108852e-05
/ 47419.165
This goes out to all you bozos saying "Verisign this, Verisign that".
Me too.
So I set my firewall to REJECT scans from them, so they would not notice that I was running a webserver.
To them, port 80 was closed.

Well, it might be a phone number but that's a Santa Monica area code.
I called.
It's a voice mail for nobody with a name.
Or somebody with no name.
Why bother deregulating ?
Really, what is to be gained ?
Isn't cheap power the goal ?
For this extremely paranoid reason, I cross shred everything.
Making sure to mix in lots of chaff. Then I add a bit of water, so it's good and mushy.
Makes it hard to reconstruct.
Heck, we'd use it....
If mod_perl 2.0 was released....
I've had to RMA a drive (Seagate, I think) that had all our magic encryption keys. So I opened it, pulled the platters, and sent it in.
They didn't say a damned thing, and sent us a new drive. Each of the engineers took a platter and did away with it. No problem!
Dude, the stock trades are public record. You can just say the names and genders
Just for the record, AMD started with a 386 clone.
I had one. 40 megahertz of pure power!

What are you talking about ?
which part of BIND ties you to ICANN roots ?
you just might be a cracker
Yeah, unless it's some new sort of weapon system, or surveillance technology.
*sigh*
Bozo:
He says he got the Dell Latitude C400.
Not the cheapest, but so what.

Let me guess, University of California?
Some other public institution ?

don't be such a sissy.
Dude, what if DRM software/hardware had builtin copyright expiration ?
After XYZ date, this work no longer has active copy restrictions ?
heh
What GetSmart style Cone of Silence?
1. turn off open relay.
2. click 'check me now'
3. pass check.
4. turn on open relay.
5. spam as usual.
6. rinse repeat.
7. automate process
This guy got linux on his airport, only 2.2, but i'm sure it'd be no problem to upgrade to 2.4ness.
