  1. Re:mercury on Testing Products for Web Applications? · · Score: 1

    As well as LoadRunner and WinRunner mentioned earlier; Mercury also has Topaz. My company uses Topaz extensively to test and monitor our Web apps.

    Check out their Topaz site: http://www-heva.mercuryinteractive.com/products/to paz/

  2. Re:GET THESE FIRST on Electronic Music 101? · · Score: 1

    I echo the above's recomendation of Force Inc., definitely good stuff.

    Not to mention a veritable army of American boys with powerbooks

    One of Force Inc.'s better (IMHO) artists fits this description: Geoff White

  3. Re:Not really an easter egg but www.PriceLine.com on Easter Eggs in Web Sites? · · Score: 1

    if your URL has www.priceline.com in it, you'll get the 404. But, change the 'www.' to 'tickets.' and you'll get the debug page (although it's not that exciting).

  4. HP's utility pricing on LinuxWorld rundown on CNN, HP and IBM Highlighted · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In the article it mentions that HP is going to begin using 'utility pricing', what you pay is determined by how much you use Linux.
    My question is, how are they going to measure how much you 'use' Linux? Number of users, number of applications, number of machines?
    It sounds a lot like Oracle's pricing plan whereby the charge per CPU power.

  5. Re:linuxgruven on Slashback: Bandwidth, Animation, Gruvin' · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I interviewed with Linuxgruven and took their 'skills assessment' test. Everything was a bunch of shit.
    The burned-out 40 year old dude interviewing me didn't know much about computers or Linux beyond his cheat sheet (sitting out in front of him during the interview). Shit, he didn't even have his computer turned on.
    The skills assessment 'required' to be hired asked questions like 'What does WWW stand for?'.

    But, I'm not gonna lie, they had me hooked initially, with their spoutings about the pay and the job description. Come on, at 19, who wouldn't want to get paid to work with Linux?

  6. Difference is in the eye of the Employer on On the Differences Between MIS/CIS/CS Degrees? · · Score: 1

    I'd like to echo what most people are saying about MIS being more business oriented and CIS more programming/theory oriented. But one important difference I have experienced personally as a recent (Dec. '01) graduate with an MIS degree is how employers look at you. On more than one occasion recruiters have said that a CIS degree will earn more than a MIS degree. Sometimes the difference can be significant, a NSA recruiter told me that if I had a CIS degree I would start out $10k a year higher than with a MIS degree.

  7. FindSound didn't find on Consonants Not Required · · Score: 1

    For a while now, I've been looking for a certain sound from Cartoon Network, but no one seems to have it. Any suggestions?
    The sound I'm looking for is from the Toonami segue to/from commercials, right after the beat stops there is this whistle like sound (I'd imitate it, but something tells me that wouldn't work). I'm looking for that whistle like sound, so if anybody knows where I might find respond to this comment.
