Yeah the big players like Linus and Alan etc are getting "funding" by being employed by OSS friendly companies, but say I just do a few line sof coding a month, but it adds value to something, no one is paying me. Multiply that by all the small players in the whole thing and you'll understand what I was saying.

I've called on a number of those hours after they were posted, and I get "Oh, that position is no longer available, but what about this other horrible job?"
I haven't gotten many calls but the ones I did get went like this: "I see you worked for Siemens" "Yes" "Do you know Novius Radiology" "No, I was a programmer on the Home Health End" "Oh, um hey do you know of anyone who knows Novius Radiology?" "No, not really, but..." "Okay bye then" Funny thing is that my resume pretty much explicitly said what I worked on, so his claims of "reading my resume" were lies.
Bite the bullet, take a job that is not perfect, and spend your leisure time away from work looking for the "perfect job."
Good point and I'd do that tomorrow, if that offer ever comes..... People seem to think that because I have been unemployed for almost a year that I am just being 'picky' Well to be picky youhave to have something to pick from and I haven't. Oh yeah I could go work at McDonald's but I have bills, that have to be paid, and at the end of the week I'd still be losing money, just not as quickly.
if Slashdot did then Salon would do it and then all of the sudden 90% of NYT's referrers would be registration free and how would that benefit the NYT?
if I had mod points I'd use em all for you. This is so true. I've been out of work almost a year. Unless you have 15 years experience and a PhD, you can forget about finding a job, well unless you count a mcJob something you wanna do.
He goes on to say, 'once again, i think it is time to fork OpenSSL.' Thank you, Theo, for always making sure we will have 100% free software at our disposal and for standing by your stated goals."
So if Theo or any other 'major' player hadn't said Sun was making OpenSSL non-free and to fork it, we'd still use the Sun OpenSSL?
proof. A college degree says to me that a person attended classes and took the tests themselves.
A cert from Brainbench means to me that a person registered and had all the books at his side when he took the tests.
Is common practice in 99% of companies. if you see any real change, they'll be eliminated when another company buys you out or some other factor dictates a change.
I had to sign one of these as well saying I couldn't sue when I was laid off. And unless you are on the verge of suing for soemthing, I don't see what harm it does to sign it.
1. Don't use ManchesterUS.com 2. Be prepared for a long wait to get a (good) job 3. Don't be totally surprised if you get a job that ends up having you work 15 hours a day. 4. Good luck.
Slashdot Mirror
yeah sure, THAT'S the reason he's not releasing source. It has nothing to do with him wanting to make a few million dollars thru licensing.
maybe you should have stuck with astronomy.
Well most likely the reason they never did all that? The script. yeah, come on you didn't think Survivor wasn't actually scripted?
yeah what did this whole thing have to do with p2p? Sounds like the rantings of a Berkely liberal in the 60's.

I never get emails or any kind of calls from my Monster postings. I guess spams would suck but I'd like a call once and awhile.
You have a valid point, but could you point me to a palce that sells 650's anymore?
Okay...can I get on your email list so I can network? Monster.com etc hasn't worked. Using my network hasn't worked. maybe your list will.
Good lord use 700/80 disks!
hmmmmm. Indeed, Linux is the Viet Cong of the internet. I dunno, the Viet Cong were pretty much well funded by the Chinese, who is funding Linux?

uhhh the Guy was trying to price fix chicken eggs. Souffles wanan be free!
ummm, it's his film he can do what he wants to it....
You mean the Air Force will shoot them down?
