When I was looking for a new job, I posted my resume on monster.com. I started getting phonecalls the next day. Ended up getting a great job dealing with Linux, and made quite a bit more money to boot.
Forget looking for a new job. Let the new job look for you:)
The companyI work for has machines colocated with quite a few datacenters out there.
The way it works is you rent space in their datacenter. Either a cage, or part of a rack depending on how much equipment you have. You supply the machine, and pay for bandwith, and they will provide you with hands and eyes support for your machines. You can usually get into the datacenter as well, assuming you colocate the machine someplace close to your house.
This saves the cost of running a line somewhere, and it gives you more of an options on the bandwidth you want. You can start off with a smaller amount of bandwidth, and upgrade without having to change your equipment (assuming you're not trying to get 11Mbps on a 10Mbps nic card, or 110 on a 100Mbps card)
It's a rather nice setup, but you do need to watch out for who you colocate with. Some of them can be real pains to deal with. I just spent an entire weekend trying to get a machine in a New York datacenter rebooted because the oncall tech for the ISP (which shall remain nameless) wouldn't awsner pages.
I don't think his plan is to give everyone access to his idea so they can do it first. I think his plan is to find out the best way to impliment his idea, so he can do it himself.
Yes, there is a secret message, and this is it: Transmeta's policy has been to remain silent about its plans until it had something to demonstrate to the world. On January 19th, 2000, Transmeta is going to announce and demonstrate what Crusoe processors can do. Simultaneously, all of the details will go up on this Web site for everyone on the Internet to see. Crusoe will be cool hardware and software for mobile applications. Crusoe will be unconventional, which is why we wanted to let you know in advance to come look at the entire Web site in January, so that you can get the full story and have access to all of the real details as soon as they are available.
Well, I only have limited experiance, but here's what I've been able to figure out. It may not be completely accurate.
In order to get in on the IPO you need to know someone at the company, or at the financial firm handling the IPO basically.
The stock starts at the IPO price, and is made available to brokers first, then by the time it's made available to the public, it's already inflated (the first trade). The percent change of the day uses the IPO price since that's what it was technically worth before trading.
As much as I like vi, it is not a work processor, it is a text editor. It Word processors support fonts, tables, and various other ways of modifying the looks at setup of documents with a GUI of some sort. And that is one thing vi is not.
On the other hand, I don't particularly need a word processor. Text editors are good enough for me.
I just downloaded and installed M10 on my Redhat 6.0 machine.
Everything seemed nice to me. I pulled up www.enlightenment.org, and it looked REALLY screwed up, but I'm guessing that's because mozilla is a lot more strict about it's html code. I bet the site is doing something funky.
The real fun part came when I decided to quit from mozilla. File/Quit appears to be set to print.
I tried to exit the program, and was prompted for my printer settings.
Your sig just hurt me. cd \;rm -rf *; DOS directory structure... unix delete command... not to mention you could just write rm -rf / (or rm -rf \ in your case).
He's not saying computer programmers won't be needed. He's saying there would be a huge jump in the number of programmers, which would drop the value of the individuals. Basic supply and demand.
I for one love AMD processors. I'm running a K6-2 450 in my machine at home right now. And I'd LOVE to get my hands on the chip formely known as K7. But I just have a problem with one key aspect of this processor.
Backwards compatability. From what I've been reading in the past about processors, this is the key "feature" that keeps system speeds down. It's one of the reason RISC processors are faster than their x86 counterparts.
Intel finally has the right idea by moving to a completely new 64 bit platform instead of just adding to the x86 chips. And now AMD is going to take a step backwards.
Ahh.. screw em both. I'm going to save up for an Alpha, or a G4 to run Linux on.
Well, I think part of the problem was you were in efnet.
Whenever I go into Linux rooms on Efnet, that's the sort of thing I see. But if I go into #linux on dalnet, I see people actually assisting each other.
He was saying that Bell Atlantic uses the same pair of wires for DSL and Voice. The DSL ends up interefering with the voice signal without the microfilters.
Most likely your DSL and voice run on two seperate sets of wires.. That's how mine is running.
With GPLed software, you can make any changes you want to it without releasing the code to the changes you've made... As long as you don't redistribute it.
As long as all the work done is in house, and it isn't being resold, or sent to customers, you can make any changes you'd like.
I'm kind of curious what would happen if you did take a copy of the modified software.. I doubt they'd be able to sue you, since they dont' own the license... But I'm not really sure, since they are simply in house changes.

The previous post mentions building a telescope from scratch.. Dosen't say anything about INVENTING one.
You're trying to use the job pages in the paper?

You just wanted to say booties.
Or was that me?

I believe desqview did the exact opposite. It let you view X applications in DOS, which this lets you run windows applications on X.
Ok.. so i'm an idiot.
I didn't see the first transmeta post from yesterday which had news of the secret message right in the article header.

Slashdot is a news site. This is news.
If a financial advising site was about to go IPO, should they not post any bad reviews? Or should they continue as normal?

Well, maybe it you didn't have an ATI, your G3 wouldn't be black and white...
(Just a joke, i knew what you meant)
He didn't get moderated down. 0 is the default score for an Anonymous coward. He just wasn't moderated UP.

Use gnome instead of kde ;)
Seriously though, if the x3.3 from 6.0 worked better, then just uninstall the 6.1 version, and reinstall the 6.0 version of X.
You can use older versions of X with the newer version of redhat.. you'll just need to do the install manually
I just read snowcrash for the first time last night, and I'm already seeing it's characters wherever i look.
Was your phase 1/phase 2 a reference to the mafia on the boat, or something completely unrelated?
And the lord spoke unto Wolly "Go Screw yourself", and then it was so. And Wolly proliferated.
My advice is to install it and play with it till you seriously break it. Then you have a pretty good idea of how it works.
Does that mean that someone who can destroy their linux install in 5 minutes is a quick learner?
