    Ah, charisma. How do you define it? I was in high school, and my dungeon master defined it thusly, during a discussion:

    Player: What is Charisma anyway? That means I'm good looking, right?

    DM: No no, that is not charisma. Charisma may include that, but is also how you interact with people, and how people feel about you, how they're comfortable with you, etc.

    DM: Take for example, the B0fh here. He is not good looking at all. But I think we'll all agree that he has high charisma. Look at the amount of people who interact with him and know him.

    the B0fh: Gee, thanx, I think...

  7. Re:well on Virtualization Is Not All Roses · · Score: 1

    so? If you're running at 1% utilization, and lets say esx takes 30% of the physical cpu - you can still use it virtually. And if your virtual systems don't all peak at the same time, you can pack a lot more of them in. I think the current recommendation is up to 16 virtual systems for physical CPU, depending on the ram.

    who the hell will use windows virtual servers for production? There is a reason why Microsoft is giving it away for free.

  9. Re:So you're saying "Microsoft = open source", the on Google's Academic TB Swap Project · · Score: 1

    Actually, at least the earlier versions of MS-DOS *WAS* open source - iirc, Microsoft actually distributed the source code (or at least made it available) of some of the early 1980s MS-DOS.

  10. Re:Google != Open Source on Google's Academic TB Swap Project · · Score: 1

    That's kind of stupid. Just because they want to help and release lots of open source software doesn't mean they have to release the family jewels.

    Just because I want to show and teach you how to fish doesn't mean I'm going to give you the plans to my power boat.

    Do people really not keep up with these kinds of shit? Go read Peter Gutmann's breakms paper, all 3 of them.

  13. Encrypted keys in memory? You sure? on Secure Private Key Storage for UNIX? · · Score: 1

    According to the breakms papers from Peter Gutmann, the cryptoapi has to store the private keys in the clear, in memory, and this is true from windows 3.1 to XP. No idea about vista.

    Wait - *you* the user needs to supply a password to access it, so it looks secure, but the actual key, in memory, is kept in the clear, unencrypted. Don't think just because the system asks for a password that your data is actually secured.

  14. Re:Get some certifications. on Getting Out of Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    Depends on where you want to go. A+ lets you stay in tech support. Things like MCSE, or CCNA or CCSA or CISSP or whatever are much much better. Go subscribe to the certification magazine, and look at what's out there. Then figure out what you like. Then work on it at home. For something like the mcse, you should be able to get what you need to take the individual tests. For things like the ccna/ccnp, I highly recommend getting the simulator. For the Checkpoint Firewall stuff, you can find the things you need out there.

    For the most part, if you are willing to spend the time, and the effort to learn things yourself, the materials are out there. No need to spend $$$ for training.

  15. Proxy on A Myspace Lockdown - Is It Possible? · · Score: 1

    The only real way to do it is to proxy all outbound http/s. Then you can selectively block by domain names and so on. And the reason you have to proxy is so that the browser have to use *your* proxy rather than an offsite proxy.

    Bleh. Even though I have never been in a union, and don't plan to be in, I can see where it can be useful. For example, a friend was on the H1B. Did great job, manager even said she can't afford to lose him. He thought about starting his own company. They fired him. Screwed up his green card application. And he just had a 3 month old baby at that time. And when he was terminated, they told him that if he ever thought about starting a company doing what he wanted to do, they'll sue his ass into the ground, no matter where in the world he went.
