Telling people that you've designed chips with Java is about as useful as describing your Quickbasic programming skills. Learn VHDL and you've made yourself a much more valuable employee.
It sucks. I also live in a new development with the accursed phone to fiber mux. No DSL, no ISDN, no cable and 28.8 dialup. Last month I got a wireless link working between a business 1600' feet away and my house. Their T1 line is essentially idle from 5 pm to 7 am and I can use the whole thing.
Welcome to the real world. It seems that any attempt to redress discrimination ends up with more discrimination.
A very real possibility here is that the manager is going to have to choose between the baby geek (who has no legal grounds for an age discimination case) and an old geek, who does. It's not like the manager would have much choice.
I'm not buying the years of experience either. I started taking apart radios at age 12, but the only job experience that counted was the miserable 3 months that I put in at Safeway.
The age discrimination card only plays after 40. Sorry, life isn't fair.
"Doors throughout the complex are secured with a Honeywell Access Control System, and staff working at the facility are supplied with a proximity card, which allows them access only to a specified area."
US national labs rejected the use of proximity cards years ago because they could be surreptitiously read and cloned.

You can ship alcoholic beverages UPS with this restriction:
*Service is provided on a pre-arranged basis only and is subject to certain restrictions. Limited service available. Contact your UPS Account Executive for details or call the UPS International Customer Service Center at 1-800-782-7892.
A few years ago someone gave me a "microbrew of the month" gift and they came UPS.
"A fundamental building block for client-side content security is a secure operating system. If a computer can be booted only into an operating system that itself honors
content rights, and allows only compliant applications to access rights-restricted data, then data integrity within the machine can be assured."
What more could Microsoft ask for? A machine that only boots what they want it to boot.
CP/M was not written in Z80 asm. CP/M predates the Z80 processor by a few years. My understanding is that the majority of it was written in PL/M with some assembly.
97 percent of the fiber in this country is dark because of no demand. The major telecoms desperately need another source of income. A new *major* network would turn Cisco around overnight.
Add to this the bureaucats and their desire for their own little playpen and you have a recipe for screwing the taxpayer.
Working with a small team of hardware/software people and acually creating *things*. It's less abstract and more in touch with reality. Working with hardware engineers and techs will get you closer to the nuts and bolts and you may find it more rewarding.
What they are doing is not an FCC-legal ID. The FCC requires the *broadcast* station to ID with their callsign, not their network name. AFAIK, there is no requirement for a cable station to ID.

That banned the use of the CD trademark on CDs that were copy-protected? Makes you wonder...
Oh yeah? Ever watch a luser toggle in the boot loader 4 times with the panel lock enabled?

And your sister
You can't possibly be working in the industry and posing this kind of question to slashdot.

Thats what I want to know?

Straight from the description

In a residential installation you don't need to shield your phone lines and you don't have to worry about cat5 next to power.
I have a couple of rooms in my house where two of the cat5 pairs are running 10BT and the other 2 pairs are phone with no problem whatsoever.
As to the installation, if you can run "smirf tube" from a central point to all the rooms. Then you can pull whatever you want in the future.
I've seen source to CP/M 1.1 and it was in PL/M.
Do a Google search on CP/M PL/M and you'll find that the references will bear me out.
CP/M was not written in Z80 asm. CP/M predates the Z80 processor by a few years. My understanding is that the majority of it was written in PL/M with some assembly.
The beer and bacteria article was the one previous. This one's about using snot in a test tube for a computer.
This is about money and ego.

At $400 million per launch to get the shuttle into near-earth orbit, how much will it cost to bring home these "precious" minerals?
Could someone please give Katz a job where he doesn't have to write.
An excellent example of using moderator privilege to spout political opinion.
According to this document,
Paul Baran of the Rand Corporation came up with the idea and name
of packet switching in 1962.
