EZTree Shuts Down
·
· Score: 2, Informative
If you like previous poster's link to etree, give archive.org's live music database a shot. I download gigs of good music a week on there. Completely legal, like Etree.
Yep, same way. One of us moved during the (1st) shot, the med tech or me, and it sliced my arm an inch. Didn't particularly hurt, but it bled like a bitch for hours. Second round of shots went fine though!
I use powerline ethernet to connect my TiVo to the home network (and for system updates, schedule updates, ect.). I run JavaHMO on one of my home boxes, serving mp3s ect to the tivo and have never noticed any problems with it. Occaisionally I'll need to pull up the SpeedStream utility the adapter came with to refresh the network, but that typically happens only when a different device (i.e., my girlfriend's laptop) hooks up to the adapter for a bit.
I used a similiar config for my 3Com Audrey (hacked) remote mp3 player too. Never any issues with that, and it ran smb and nfs from my xp workstation to the audrey.
Sample entry:
Monday, 7/5/04:
"Well, this morning my wife made *beep* for breakfast, except the *beep* burnt the *beep* toast!"
Tuesday, 7/6/04:
"Had a meeting with *beep* who's skirt was a little higher then it should've been, showing off her *beep* and making me want to *beep* *beep* her all night long!"
Weds., 7/7/04:
"Took the *beep* for a walk around the *beep*. Cashed a check at the store and purchased *beep*, *beep*, and *beep*. Thought the missus might like that!"
...
I use a Kyocera 2035 without any problems. I'm profoundly deaf (HA model escapes me at the moment).
The phone itself is a "brick" according to my friends that have new ones smaller then my thumb, but I'm hesitant to upgrade because it simply WORKS. I've used friends' fancy new Nokias and they just don't do the job. Crappy telecoils or something? I don't know, but my 3.5 yr old Kyocera keeps working for me...
Nope... we have switches, various Sparc boxes (ultra1 through ultra60s), XP, w2k, nt4, Solaris 2.6, Solaris 2.8, redhat, Tru64 clusters, tape drives, and a storage array on our TestNet. Everything you'd find our our production network is available on the testnet. All software that our end users request (CAD mainly) HAS to go through installation and testing on the testnet before it goes live on the production network.
For anyone else reading this thread and having the same problem, the file is/etc/postfix/transport in Postfix. Syntax like this:.aol.com smtp:smtp.comcast.net.hotmail.com smtp:smtp.comcast.net.netscape.net smtp:smtp.comcast.net
After that, run a 'postmap transport' to rebuild the transport.db file. I haven't run into a domain yet that wouldn't accept my mail after a quick reroute.
Configure Postfix to send mail to *aol.com, *rr.com, and *.email.com to relay through smtp.comcast.net (or whatever your isp is). I did that for the longest time- even wrote a quick script to do auto detect a bounce message, add the domain to the proper file, restart postfix, and resend the message. Took abt 30 minutes to work-around (was new to Postfix at the time).
I'm scaling it down significantly here... but if your factory employs 100 people and makes a profit of $500 a year, but by closing it down and sending those 100 to a R&D lab they can discover new things they can make more money with the same amount of people.
Overly simplified, but its a matter of reallocating your resources more efficiently.
I did the same. Took a CCNA training course just for the introduction to Cisco routers/switches (I'm a sysadmin). I have no plans to take the test, that wasn't why I went. I went just to get my feet wet in the technology.
I say this every time, but it continually needs to be said: Certs are good depending where you work.
YOU need to decide if they're good for you or not. I work for HP as a gov't contractor. HP could care less, however, the contract's prime contractor and the gov't love to see them, so we get them. And they reward us VERY nicely for doing so.
I could care less about a cert. So can most in the slashdot crowd. However, if it means 20 mins of my time to test on something I already know for an extra $THOUSANDS a year, yer damn skippy I'm going to get it.
As a gov't contractor (fully cleared, TS/SCI, polys, ect.), I can get these offers. Most of the companies that have this kind of stuff are the big gov't contractors such as Lockheed Martin, CSC, Halliburton, Titan, General Dynamics, Northrup Grumman (sp), and on and on. Try their websites, you may find something there.
I think the majority of the resentment from the slashdot crowd towards certs aren't the certs themselves, but the inexperienced folks who get them. However, it's much "cooler" and elite to make fun of all certs as "bullshit" and lame. If you've got the knowledge to back it up, why not get a cert if it helps your job? It shows a person is dedicated to their profession in my opinion.
Nobody laughs when they go to a doctor and sees they're certified to use a certain medical technology (eh, bad example, but you see what I'm saying), so why laugh at people who chose to get a RHCE?
But hey... to each their own I suppose... I'll just keep bankin' in the meantime.
I agree with everything you said. I'm going to local community college for my AA in Business, then transferring to a 4 yr to finish it up. If you've already been in the workforce (sysadmin for 7yrs and counting) for some time, don't waste your money on a 4yr college. Nobody cares where you went to school all four years*, they only want to see that you HAVE the degree.
*Exceptions to this are recent college grads trying to land a job from the big schools at a premier firm. Experience more then compensates for for going to Smalltown Community College and then transferring.

Not much, but here's mirrordot anyway... mirrordot front page
I turn off my hearing aid :)
Losing one's hearing certainly has its advantages!
Poof... Good old mirrordot to the rescue...
Now that's out of the bag, Redmond will be on the phone by the end of their week with their Hawaiian office to offer "discounts" to the schools.

I say the same thing about Sendmail during interviews.
"So, Mr. Smith, it says here that you know Sendmail?"
"Well, I'm not virgin to it. I'm comfortable with Sendmail, but anything that requires a 1200 page book is a topic nobody REALLY knows."

All the mined data in the world won't make damn bit of difference if it can't retrieve it accurately and timely.

What is the fun of watching a game that has already been played?
To each their own, I suppose. I've got 3-4 Michigan football games queued up my Tivo as we speak. Wishlists are the greatest thing.

That may be so, but how many thousands here in the US can't even get that far due to lack of health insurance?
They may need to outsource the health care once in awhile, but damned if they still don't get that health care.
I concur.
