Perhaps I'm operating under a misguided perception here, but my impression is that there are an awful lot more male suitors for every female. Of course that could because I'm in computers on a college campus. Dunno.
What do the rest of you think? Do you ever feel like you're one of hundreds of guys competing for the same prize?
I'm considering using Postgresql for some upcoming projects because it offers some things that MySQL doesn't--Postgresql is more of a full-featured SQL database system.
MySQL can't be beat (yet) for speed, I understand. It's too bad that so many cool web toys rely on MySQL as a backend--maybe I'll end up having to run two SQL servers? This wouldn't be a problem if applications were designed in a DBI (Database Independent, for you non-Perl types) fashion.
Are there any other services similar to that offered by hackerserver.com? I'd like to find a place that would allow me total control of a box with some decent bandwidth (or perhaps just a good co-location deal?) The only problem I have with hackerserver.com is that name and the tone of the web site: it's a bit too "l33t, d00d" for me.
Was I the only one confused about just how to open an E*Trade account in time to get into this thing?
I filled out the forms, etc. on the E*Trade site. Then I'm supposed to send in my check for at least $1000. Ok. So, far so good. Then, I'm supposed to get information back in the mail that confirms that my account is actually open, with some kind of confirmation number or something?
The question I have is: When is the account technically open? And how am I supposed to open an account and express interest in an IPO (with all these potential USPS delays) with only a week to get it done?
Sorry if this is a double post. My mouse got away from me, it's a bit feisty this morning...
I'm waiting for a mobile (mountable in an automobile) version of one of these things that can work with CD-ROMS with MP3s on them, play traditional or standard audio CDs, and also includes a radio tuner. This should be technically possible, right? Using a serial connection to (slowly) upload a set of songs is not for me...
Hey Rob, you don't have to do anything you don't want to...you especially shouldn't have to answer to a Marketing/PR person. Tell the annoying, vapid, traditional-media-type-struggling-with-their-own-i mpending-irrelevance to go away and find a dumpster to dive in--they'll need to perfect those skills for survival purposes in a few years anyway.
We may not be able to say "shit" on the air, but we can certianly discuss politics. In recent years, the regulations regarding "taboo" on-air subjects (business discussions, etc.) have been relaxed. Of course, there are many lids on the air who ignore regulations and plain old common courtesy altogether, anyway...

Why I'd like to use RPM's for prereleases
on
Linux 2.2.0pre5
·
· Score: 1
I like RPM because it allows me to keep track of files on my system, provides a powerful versioning system for up/downgrades, and most importantly, it saves time...
I'm pushing for a major switch from Solaris to RedHat Linux here at work. My major selling point is reduced administration time through the use of RPM.
Remember that RPM != Precompiled Binary. SRPMS allow you to compile from pristine source, but also give you the ability to track/update/remove every file created through the compilation process. I like that a lot better than the ".tar.[gz|bz2|Z]" system of spraying and orphaning files all over my file systems.

The things you're talking about (new releases of distros, etc.) are better served at freshmeat.net.

So kids, the moral of today's story is:
Never post anything that you don't want traced back to you from your own machine. Use a disliked coworker's machine instead.
For the humor impaired: That was a joke. Thank you for playing.

A minor correction about ham radio operators:

I wonder if anyone will actually produce an MPEG/Real version of this? Should be quite an interesting view...
So, who's got pics of the models that were kicked out early on?
It's only about 14,000 people. Nice little town with some great trout fishing and the Twin Cites nearby...
I thought that some V.E.s were allowing keyboard copy for Morse code exams. I could be wrong... 73 de KF9FR
How come they never release the source for any of these "idle CPU" clients/projects?
