Would it be possible to have some intelligent writing on this website once in a while rather than the typical: "[insert company] announced today that [insert mundane or otherwise uninteresting tidbit of news or quote a portion of a news article or press release out of context] [insert artificially self-important rhetorical question that will likely create debate on a topic completely seperate from the article quoted above.]"
So you are suggesting that Canopy overcharges a company that THEY FUND...... how on earth is that beneficial canopy? I can see it now...."hey.... let's overcharge our own companies..... because we like to see our money go around in a circle!"
I used to work for a Canopy Company and I can tell you that the rates we paid for office space in the Canopy company were at, or maybe even above market rates. It would be nice if people would get the facts before making assumptions and accusations or wrong-doing.
I am working and going to school. I think the key is to be reasonable about the course load you can take. For me, its about 6 credits a semester. Then you just have to commit to keep going... even during summer months. At my current rate i'll graduate in about 3.5 years which isnt too bad considering i work a 35-40 hr week.
You can't be serious. We have an insane tyrant willing to GAS HIS OWN PEOPLE and you are suggesting that Bush wants to take care of this problem just to keep approval ratings high? Are you insane? I suppose you are like much of Europe in the late 1930's. "If we ignore Hitler, he'll just keep to himself of go away." Well, if we continue to ignore Saddam, more Americans, Brits, Jews, and others will die. But I suppose you have a point, let's let Iraq develop some bio-chemical or nuclear weapons, give them to terrorists and watch a few more thousand innocent people die. That way Bush's approval rating will certainly be high when he kicks Saddams ass.
I would do both if I were you. Work full time and go to school at night. A college degree will certainly be helpful to you as well as provide some good social experience away from a career. I would actually suggest getting a degree which is seperate from technology. I mean, you already know most of it and for anything else you have man pages:) I for one, have worked in technology and am getting a degree in business so that I can have some options later on if i want them. You never know what direction your life might take. In 10 years you might decide being a SysAdmin isnt what you want to do anymore. It is at those points that having a degree, and especially a degree as flexible as business, comes in handy.
I've never seen any reason for the use of a SCSI drive on any desktop machine. Its simply not cost effective and it doesnt provide any real, substantial benefit. On servers however, SCSI obviously has the upper hand when used in conjucntion with RAIDS etc... However, 3ware does offer some interesting IDE raid devices which have shown some intersting results. I've worked in the storage industry and generally there is little excitement about the 3ware technology. At least among the partners i've talked to who have used/tested it for deployment in their storage products.
the reason SuSE puts so much into their CDs is because they are a european company... and in europe... bandwidth is extremely expenseive. Dial up is charged by the minute. Now, how much do you want to pay to sit and download 20 MB worth of source?

This was streamed in MPEG2 format. The reason it works is because of the packen encapsulation on the server and client side.

Ok... you don't know what you are talking about. I have seen side by side comparisons on Panasonic Plasma screens of HDTV being streamed raw and in the 20MB/s format. There is NO difference.
Now, Microsoft has claimed to stream HD in their.wmv format at 4 MB/s. This certainly does not look good.
between 18.5 and 20 MB/s is optimal range for compressing HD and still maintaining quality.
Well, there is certainly nothing wrong with Capatalism or Corporations per se. Granted, there are a lot of bad, greedy corporations which are out for Money at all costs! But there are also a lot of responsible corporations who have actual ethics.
MS is an example of a corporation with no ethics or values. SCREW EM!
The biggest problem I have with Europe is what seems to be an attempt to control the thoughts/beliefs of its citizens and "punish" those who hold unpopular beliefs. Take Germany for example: The man who registered heilhitler.de was arrested!!!! Also in Germany Jehovahs Witnesses are not allowed to proselyte. It seems the that German govermnent is taking a "Big Brother" approach to dictate the beliefs of its people. In America you can wear a Nazi symbol, have an anti-black, gay, semite website and that is OK. You are certainly an idiot for believing such things but it is completely within your rights to espouse your belief. This freedom is not available in some parts of Europe. Anyway, I have to admit I am proud to be an American because I believe America was founded on principles of freedom etc... I must also admit however, that America has not always acted in a way consistent with those principles.
But lets be honest: America has been the major influence for the spread rise of democracy over the last 200 yrs.
A bit needs to be said regarding this bit of "exciting" news. This article DOES NOT say that Red Hat will ship with every IBM mainframe. It says that Red Hat will work on those mainframes. Red Hat is actually far behind on this one. SuSE has run on every IBM offering including the S390 for at least 3 months.
Just because Red Hat thinks this is exciting news doesnt mean it is.

Yeah..... I think thos smack addicts living in a dumpster downtown bought into the "recreational" drug propoganda too.

Have you ever heard of SuSE Labs and all the other things which SuSE does to promote and FINANCE free software. Sounds like microsoft to me....

Of course, without an Intel processor Linus wouldnt have compiled anything either. So lets call it Intel/Nvidia/SoundBlaster/GNU/Linux

I love how slashdot can take one obscure sentence from an article with a much larger scope and make a headline out of it.

Makes me want to go rent that movie Pi! Great flick. Twisted, dark and intense. Certainly not a romance.

Of course, worldwide SuSE has the largest market share. Not in the US of course...
