  1. Re:Um...why not be one then? on Google's Secretive Data Center · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A network engineer for google has to know their shit. GED and a pulse? Try CCNP and a bachelor's. Not to mention their extensive interview process.

    What makes you think I have no ambition?

    Easier job...network operations at a google server farm. Still awesome?

  3. If there was a god... on Google's Secretive Data Center · · Score: -1, Redundant

    If there was a god, I would pray to be a network engineer at Google's server farms. Man, how awesome that would be.

  4. Re:How much in lost revenue .. on June Windows Update To Be Biggest in a Year · · Score: 1

    Yes, I have. But the wording on the original comment made it sound like if Microsoft just didn't patch the vulnerabilities, it would save us all a lot of money.

    I would guess that it is the security vulnerabilities that are the real cost, not the patches.

  6. Re:Same as last year. on Windows Servers Beat Linux Servers · · Score: 1

    There is an inconsistency:
    nearly 20% more annual up time.
    to have 20% more downtime

    Getting this wording consistent makes a big difference in assessing the validity of the report.

  7. Re:Cheaper jobs? on Not Your Daddy's IT Force Anymore · · Score: 1

    My experiences are much different.

    I worked at a university "hell desk" for a short while before being referred to a Unix admin job where I actually learned something.

    Haven't gotten my degree yet or any certifications and I now have a fairly good job. I know several people who have similar stories.

    What are you basing this on? Certainly not the article or summary. The first line of the summary is "The days of high-paying technology-based jobs right out of highschool are over." That means you have to be more skilled to work in IT.

  9. Re:Craigslist on The 100 Best Tech Products of 2006 · · Score: 1

    It is pretty fun...just say in your ad that you require the buyer to reply with where they are coming from. Or say you need their phone number then you can call each one and ask how far of a drive it is.

  10. Re:Craigslist on The 100 Best Tech Products of 2006 · · Score: 1

    Craigslist really does not deserve to be listed as a good tech product. The technology behind the site really sucks. In terms of looks and functionality, it feels like a site from 1996.

    That is not to say it's not a great site. It is only great because of the users. There is nothing technologically remarkable about craigslist.

  11. Re:Craigslist on The 100 Best Tech Products of 2006 · · Score: 1

    There are some pretty cheap fucks on Craigslist. It is a fun exercise to find something you don't want, and offer it up for free on Craigslist (because you don't want to throw it out, and you'd feel bad if someone paid money for it). You'll get about a dozen emails within 5 minutes, and you can have fun replying, telling people why you didn't choose them for your free thing.

    I had a guy drive 45 minutes each way for a several-year-old digital camera that couldn't have been worth more than $10.

    Yahoo Music is excellent for this. I think it is either $4.99 or $6.99/month. Windows only though.

    But I think it is great for checking out new music.

    Wow...I hadn't checked Indymedia in a long time. I go there today, and the most recent story is from over a week ago. I didn't think they had any further to slip, but it looks like they actually did get worse since last time I checked.

    My company makes software for Windows that does just that (256-bit AES key).

    Don't join someone like Verizon or Comcast. Join someone like Speakeasy or (what I use, highly recommended) Sonic.net. Check out DSL Reports before signing up.

    Sure, your blog can be seen, but if it get's too popular you'll have to pay more...

    I am gung-ho about net neutrality, but how is what you just said any different than how things work now? I host my blog off of my 384Kbps-upload DSL. If my blog all of a sudden gets 4000 visitors per day, and I want all of them to be able to see it, I'll currently have to pay more to move it to a datacenter or get a better Internet connection, correct?

    With 7 100GB disks, we have that little problem of power consumption to deal with. And noise. And heat.

  21. Re:But... but... on Treasures or Trash, 5 PC Cases for Gamers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Oy. I'll leave the car thing alone, but as far as the computers go, most people do it because they a) like how it looks and b) enjoy doing it.

    I built my cousin a computer once and he wanted to mod it out. He spent 10 hours custom carving a biohazard logo in the side of it. I think he enjoyed making little tweaks to the appearance over the next few months as much as he liked playing WoW on it once he turned it back on.

    So what is wrong with that?

  22. Solution on Where's the Massive in MMOGs? · · Score: 1

    y = player level

    So, maybe it takes 20 hours to get to level 25, but it takes 2000 hours to get to level 80.

    So now we're going to get our Economics lesson from an Ayn Rand novel?

    Ayn Rand novels are ridiculously over-simplified to prove her points. Nothing wrong with that as long as you realize that they are novels, and not Economics text books.
