I think some days when you just feel it, you should be allowed to work as long as you feel nessecary. Not be constrained by 8 hours, if you're in "the zone", you should run with it. If its just not happening for you when it comes time to clock out, go ahead and leave, rest up, and come back tomorrow. Weekends should be the same, it shouldn't be mandatory that you come in on saturday, but extra pay and a free lunch wouldn't hurt.
wow check it out, i'm replying to my own slashdot post!
SANs are nice, but do you really have a SAN or Fibre Channel setup @ home? if so congrats, but chances are you, and about 95% of everyone else don't. Sure the fastest SCSI will still be faster than the SATA standard, but as mentioned in previous posts, this is mainly for home-users and not so much for servers. i don't know very many people who have fibre channel o scsi at home. If you do, you're a sick individual and you can just mail me a large check for some of your money, cuz you obviously have too much to be blowing it like that for home-use.
for what its worth:
i would like to share TAC with everyone. Its a Tcl/Tk based shell script for *nix that allows you to chat with AIM users. (why hasn't AOL blocked this?) i love it, small useful, dont need a GUI anymore to send a quick message...
i dont care so much about interoperability as much as i do about just opening the protocol and stop blocking 3rd party IM clients (like Trillian or TAC - altho tac hasnt been blocked). As long as i have a choice of AIM clients then i'll be happy. If every messaging protocol was open, then programs such as trillian would function more perfectly. plus if the protocol was opened, other servers might popup, and that'd take some of the load off the AOL IM servers. that's my $.02...
University of North Texas has a great kiosk setup around campus with no logins. They also have login terminals in the labs. Very kickin' setup i think.
so i thought i'd post my page for what its worth... and here it is.
AMEN - Because you can...

Also, contrary to popular belief, Linux is not really "free."
Sure the software is free, but you still pay for the bundling and the distribution of the software, and there is no specification as to how or how much they charge for those services...
It is free if you want to build your own distro... People often times criticize linux for not being free, for being company-controlled (like RedHat). This is wrong. Linux is free as in speech to do whatever you need it to do, and free as in beer if you know how to install everything from the ground up. ( Linux From Scratch comes to mind...) True, the admin's time is not free, but then again, he's already on the payroll, his time has already been factored in to daily/weekly/monthly operating costs. I know many companies turn to IT contracting companies so they can point fingers when the crap hits the fan. If you grab sack and do the job right and take responsability for your own internal OS installation, building a linux server won't cost much money out-of-pocket. Many companies won't do this, and so they claim that linux isn't free, that you have to pay companies like RedHat and SuSE for their work, when in reality, they'd rather pay someone for their work than do it themselves. and then complain about why they had to pay someone else. My point: I don't blame companies for forking over a couple million dollars for a company to come in and do it right, but i hate when they complain that it isn't free 'like people say it is'. wow... does that make sense?
ok - so some people are using KDE... why haven't you tried WindowMaker? Is it not "Windowsy" enuf for you?
i'm not flaming here, really. I started on KDE, then went Gnome, and now i use WindowMaker. Why? Freedom.
Why do i have to go to the bottom left corner in Windows to get to my "Start" Button, why do i have the go to the bottom left for the KDE equivalent? - same with Gnome? With Windowmaker, you put things where you want them, your "Start" menu is just a right-click away... wherever you are. So, for my 2 cents... try WindowMaker, you'll like it.
this is probably the coolest idea i've ever seen for mixing in mp3s... cueing mp3s is almost impossible if you're used to cueing up with the fine-tuning that vinyl allows you. I really hope to see this technology take off. Lord knows there are a bunch of hard-to-find records out there that are only made in a limited supply batch. Hats off to FinalScratch. Anyone know of any other devices such as this? please post if ou do...
These toys are perfectly fine! Buy your kid a.22 rifle or a Benjamin air rifle! Get him a pack of BlackCats, give him green army men and a sackful of GI Joes. Maybe he won't grow up to be a pansy, grass-eating, tree-hugging, queer that chews on rocks and discusses politics when it comes time to defend America (or wherever) from a foreign threat. These also come from the people that believe spanking is bad. Give the boy a paintball gun and a mask give him a kick in the rump and tell him to give his war-cry.
I'm not a gun-waving member of the NRA - I'm just a realistic American. I don't even own a gun. I work in the IT field (but i do work for the DoD:o) - i just hate to see toys labeled as evil because they 'simulate' war. War is real. Better to play it out than keep it inside and act on it for real by going postal. (now there was a game that i'd label twisted)
Better yet, label toys that are dangerous and can break and hurt children - those are dangerous toys, not toys like K'Nex or Legos that allow you to build guns or tanks.
Some people... *shaking fist
well, i've talked to skaven about this project. it's not so wide open sounding as he suggests. he has a general direction. but i don't think he's gonna say i'm going to make any specific processor or controller type until he's secure with a raod-map to completion... but knowing skav. he'll prob just jump in...:o)
and why wait til you graduate? then you'll get busy with work and crap. do it now, when you want, carpe diem - look what Linus did with Linux, what if he waited til he graduated to build his little toy OS...?
at least once you make a usable proc. your profs can help you with design, (maybe be some credit for some bigger/better project Sr. year!)
i still say go for it. Stupid crazy silly mad props if/when you get it running...

it IS the worst type of theft... MUCH worse than, say, stealing someone's kidney or left nut!
i found these through some links of reviews on the RevOS site... click here

wow... does that make sense?
wow... VERY big for linux. the whole company moving to linux... this will be awesome to see unfold...
can't we all just get along?
