  1. cut and paste on Dealing with the Unix Copy and Paste Paradigm? · · Score: 1

    One thing I do when having to cut and paste a lot is to open a terminal and type in... /root# cat >/dev/null ... or a real file name. Then cut and paste and ctl-d when you are done. It does not solve all problems but it is useful.

  2. stress on Appreciating Your Stressful IT Job? · · Score: 1

    Stress? How many jobs have you had?

    All jobs have "stress". That is why they pay you.

    Stress is actually fear, what are you afraid of?

    Afriad of not having money to pay your bills?

    Afraid of the expectation to be a wizard?

    You are not a wizard, it is just a job, get a life.

  3. Pay on Reasonable Salary for Entry Level Programmers? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Be glad you got offers.

    How much do you need? Waiting tables is hard work. Greed is not good.

    Get some experience and maybe you will be able to have a job for awhile. The third world has lots of folks that know how to write programs and will work hard for little money.

  4. American debtor on Increasing the Value of the Domestic IT Worker? · · Score: 1

    The American worker should live within his/her means.

    The American worker's standard of living will go down and the rest of the world's will come up. It is a fact of life.

    If we keep learning and improving our skills we will have jobs, the pay may not be what we got used to during the boom but it will do.

    Do you need a tank that gets 2 gallons to the mile? A huge house? All the junk to fill the house and the credit card debt to go with it?

    How many of you are debt free?

    The Chinese, Indians and many other folks refuse to live in debt.

  5. DEBIAN / REDHAT on Debian Fastest-Growing Distro, Says Netcraft · · Score: 0

    I have used Debian for years.

    I recently went and bought RED HAT "professional".

    It cost $90 dollars. I started the install on a fairly old laptop and everything went fine (looks just like the old red hat..). Then in the middle of the install it stopped and said "Red Hat Professional is not supported on this hardware" and quit.. end of story..

    The only thing I can figure out is that the machine didn't have the minimum 256 megs of ram (it has 128). No message nothing just "not supported"...

    RED HAT SUX! It has always SUCKED (who wants to chase RPMs around?). Now it sucks more and is expensive!

    RED HAT is in trouble... Solaris 10/intel is going to kick its ASS..

    Debian/Solaris/OpenBSD are it...

  6. Re:Debian, Redhat.. Middle ground on Red Hat Linux 7 Infested With Bugs · · Score: 1

    mmm yeah xinetd is great.. but it isn't exactly proven and the config file is completely different. RH is becoming a lot like M$, throw in the kitchen sink and fix stuff later (well, never in M$ case)..

  7. Re:apt-get vs Red Hat Network on Red Hat 7.0 Coming On Monday · · Score: 1

    mmm yeah but what is a distro for if not packaging and testing? My debian 2.2 is a far better system than my RH 6.2 in many ways.. I guess you love chasing down rpms and dependencies.. while I just do an apt-get install xfmail and watch quality software do its job.. can you ugrade your entire os with one command?

    Mmmm yea, anonymous coward your insightful psychological assesment makes me want to cry..
