Con el disco duro creíamos no había problema porque dicen que vienen "envasados al vacío" pues ahora podemos decir que no se si todos son igual pero el que usamos en primer lugar NO lo estaba. Lo metimos dentro del aceite y funciono bien, incluso dejamos todo el sistema 2 días enteros funcionando dentro del aceite sin problema alguno, el problema vino al moverlo para colocarlo en el tejado, que fue cuando posiblemente penetro aceite en el interior y una vez en el tejado no arrancaba. Entonces tuvimos que bajarlo todo de nuevo y buscar otro disco duro, instalar todo el linux de nuevo y no meterlo dentro del aceite. O sea que atención: NO hay que meter el disco duro en aceite ya que por algún lado entra dentro si lo meneas un poco
Basically, they inmersed everything in the oil, including the HDD (they didn't need a CD-ROM or FDD) and they figured the HDD would work even though it had moving parts because they're vacuum-sealed. Not so, their first prototype worked for two days and then the HDD died as oil got into the drive mechanism. They had to look for another disk, reinstall Linux and the rest of the software and then figure out a way to keep the hard disk out of the oil.
So there you have it folks, never put your hard disks in Mazola - they die.
Isn't there a CEO of Sony corporate who keeps his divisions in line
In other news, Mike Tsurumi, a president of Sony Consumer Electronics in Berlin, resigned from his post yesterday, saying he needed to "spend more time with his family".
The president of Sony International praised Mr. Tsurumi as "one of the visionaries of the consumer electronics field. He will be sorely missed".
Replacing Mr. Tsurumi is Mr. Weregona Getyerass, who last worked as a janitor at Sony Records.
Bite me, asswipe. I'm sorry life just hasn't worked out for you, but try to avoid taking it out on your betters, mmkay?
BTW, that vaunted degree of yours? Roll it up and shove it up your ass, because it's going to do you absolutely no good when you get to the fucking real world. Oh, I'm sorry, you already figured that out. $15/hr? My gawd, that's really crappy. Of course, everyone is at fault for that little tragedy except yourself.
Boo-hooo, life is so unfair, boo-hoo. Boo-hoo, the bay area is so fucked up. MOVE OUT OF THERE. What, do you think that's the only place in the fucking world where IT is done? Give me a fucking break. Are you disabled? Blind? Retarded? No? So what's your fucking problem?
I don't give a flying hoot if you believe me or not, I wasn't posting for your amusement. I've been working my fucking ass off for ELEVEN FUCKING YEARS in this industry to get to where I am today and I'll be fucking dammned if I'm going to take any crap from a little shithead like you.
Now, was that good enough for you, or are you still underwhelmed by my insults? Let me know, I'll be here all week.
You get a fscking job fixing printers in some mom & pop shop pulling $7,000 a year and you work your way up from there. Software development is not just "coding". It's much more complicated than that. If you're good enough (because some people just don't have it in them), eventually you'll get to the point where you're on top of your field and you're pulling in $85K. With fscking job offers coming in twice a month during the worst fscking recession and job market in memory. That's how you do it.
If you expect to leave school and start pulling in $55K because you dress well and you're better than the guy sitting next to you, think again. It ain't happening any more.
Web application development by its own is certainly a valid and needed expertise. But how many times did you see people advertising themselves as "HTML programmers" during the dotcom boom and actually get hired because of that?
That's what I'm talking about.
And yes,.NET changes the field completely. All those people who are nothing more than spaghetti script coders are having a hard time understanding that stuff - much less actually using it.
While many jobs are being shipped offshore, consider the following points:
The quality of the work being done by Indian (or whatever) programmers (or whatever) varies wildly. Some of it is good, a lot if it is not.
In my experience, companies like Amex who outsourced their entire IT needs to IBM India (yes, IBM India) and let loose hundreds of employees are now rehiring those same employees (mostly analysts and PMs) through third-tier consulting firms at a much lower cost. So they get the quality they need (because they can't get it from Indians) but they save a bundle of money. It's not uncommon to find a project manager at Amex directing 15 indians that used to be manager or director of so-and-so two years ago. This is (I think) more about deflating the job market than shipping jobs to other countries.
The perennial "web programmer" and "web designer" and so on is out of work because there is no more market for them. There are no more dotcoms hiring teams of 20 people to "design" three web pages at ~$60K+ per year. No way. But software developers and architects and so on with solid experience and real skills are still finding jobs. The subject of the Salon article sounds to me more like one of those foofy "html programmers" or equivalent than anything else.
The dotcom boom created thousands of jobs that were filled by people with 6 months of experience and a "computer degree" from a community college or Devry. Sorry, but those are gone. No more demand. These people should go back to what they were doing before the went into "computers" to make "big bucks".
Booo-hoo. It's all Microsoft's fault. Microsoft is evil, booo-hoo. We're all doomed, let's go back to paper, pencil and the yellow pages. Cry me a despondent river indeed.
Tell you what - you write a better browser than IE, and people will use it. I guarantee it.
Oh, wait. There's already one. It's called "Mozilla". So all you need to do is get the word out, no?
If the people who wrote Mozilla had your attitude, there would be no Mozilla, and no chance to give IE a run for its money.
I understand it's convenient for you to blame Microsoft for everything, but try to take your head out of the sand and look around once in a while.
Look, you make good points. Yes, Microsoft is the only Windows vendor, duh. Yes, there are dozens of different Linux distributions. But Red Hat is about the only one that can support it at the enterprise level, the same way Sun does with Solaris. HP doesn't play very well in that area (unless you count HP-UX, which is not Linux).
The question here is not about choice or the l33tness factor in having ten different versions of the OS to choose from. It's about companies that want to have what they have with Microsoft. Turnkey boxes, 24x7 support, documentation, resources. Period.
Red Hat may provide that, yes, but they're coming to realize that they need to charge money, and they need to license and they need to do a bunch of stuff - the same stuff that Microsoft gets flamed for doing. It's called "doing business".
Heck, how many zealots are ready to give Red Hat the finger now that they've become "the evil empire" of the OSS world?
There's an obvious dychotomy there that I find particularly ironic. That's why I post this type of stuff. "Flamebait" it ain't. But the truth hurts.
Yes, but this is Slashdot. The "the XML that Office generates is not interoperable" is much more palatable to the sniveling masses. They stab at 'M$' from their parent's basement in Wisconsin while discussing "news" that are not, but 90% of them didn't RTFA anyway.
It's just more "fun" that way. "Stuff that matters". You know.
... if any Moz devs are reading, thanks. Mozilla rocks. Still a wee bit slow while loading on Win32 without the 'autoload' feature, but nonetheless an incredible browser.
An excellent example of what open source can accomplish, and I really mean that. Kudos and all that.
Once again, this company goes one step too far. To boot:
Prices hikes. I mean, please.
Draconian license agreements that include "we own your ass" clauses to the tune of "we can go to your place and audit at will"
"Enterprise"?? What's that, a buzzword to sell more licenses?
And the licensing, oh boy. What do you mean I can't install my copy everywhere??? I already paid for it, damn it!!
Monopolistic practices that push other competitors out of the server business
I could go on and on
It's time to put a stop to this. Perhaps the DOJ can take action, or maybe the state attorneys can start pressuring them. I don't know. It's just sad...
.
.
... what? Oh, this is Red Hat???
Oh, sorry.
.
.
Well, I'm glad that a Linux company is releasing an enterprise-class product. I mean, this can only bode well for Linux. Indeed, we are poised to push M$ out of the market for sure.
Of course, if I don't like it I can just run... uh... Debian. yeah, Debian. I'll get enterprise-level Level 1 support from... uh... well, I'll tell the CTO we'll support it ourselves. After all, we have the code!!
All those times the euro trash bois post their AC flamebait to the tune of
you americans are so pathetic while we here in Germany|Sweden|France|Belguim|Whatever we anjoy very many freedoms and the DMCA* has no powerful and everything is wonderful and blah blah blah.. [sic]
Mwahahahaha.
Now back to our regular schedule.

Mwahahaha. Where's that highly educated $15/hr mind when you need it, eh?
I agree with that, but getting rid of all moving parts is a good place to start.
BTW, that vaunted degree of yours? Roll it up and shove it up your ass, because it's going to do you absolutely no good when you get to the fucking real world.

for going solid state all the way.
If you expect to leave school and start pulling in $55K because you dress well and you're better than the guy sitting next to you, think again. It ain't happening any more.
And that's not elitism, that's reality.
So stop whining and start working.
That's what I'm talking about.

So you're a shit-eater? Mmmkay. I can live with that. You can have the "equalizer" title. I've used it up already.
Holy fuck, what hole did you crawl out of?
If you feel constrained by something as dumb as anti-leech, we need to work on your geek skillz =)
Donate it to the guy that runs Kazaa Lite.
You don't like that Red Hat and Dell are partners? Fine, buy something from HP
Are you for real?? I can replace 'Red Hat' here for 'Microsoft' and I'd be making the same insightful point.
Jeez.
An excellent example of what open source can accomplish, and I really mean that. Kudos and all that.
I said "server market". I'll let you figure out why, since you seem to be so intelligent.
So what was your point again?
Right.
Oh but I forget your own of the resident Microsofties who regularly trolls Slashdot defending MS and spreading semi-FUD about linux in every post
You can call me "the equalizer".
- Prices hikes. I mean, please.
- Draconian license agreements that include "we own your ass" clauses to the tune of "we can go to your place and audit at will"

Even illegat... uh, illeget... uh, pirot... uh, w4r3z3d copies of Office include a spell checker. Give it a try.
