Interesting enough, those numbers come very close to mine. My company also dropped adsense/adwords as means of advertisement. The ROI just isn't worth it.
On the other hand, Adwords/Adsense proved to be the most effective method of having people e-mailing resumes to us. So, for recruiting, it really works. The number of resumes received during our campains was 3 times the usual number we receive.
I've have met this kind of situation once, but about linkedin, not myspace.
In any case, my answer to anyone asking why I don't have a myspace page is simply "I have better things to do with my time".
If anyone goes looking for me on myspace, they really should get shot. It is simply too easy to look for me (real name, of course) on google. Or to use my personal e-mail address, which never changed since 1998.
Really, why should I care about myspace ? I REALLy have better things to do with my time.
I myself have never understood why news sites wouldn't want a popular aggregator like Google News pointing visitors to their news articles.
Because then you will only access their sites when there is an article that interests you, and you will go directly to the article, missing all the ads/offers/surveys (etc) on the rest of the site.
Take Slashdot, for example. I can't remember the last time I visited its main page. I simply look the the RSS Feed to see if there is something interesting. Same for NYT and many others.
Hummm, the best way to market yourself as a sysadmin is to other sysadmins. Then, they can recomend you whenever management asks them (or another company).
TNT came into play for Season 5, after Warner dropped the axe on the show. I can remember that at least 1 of the movies was from TNT too ("In the Begining", I think).
Well, I have to agree both with you and the GP. It was a soap opera (space opera), except things moved faster than on your regular soap opera. If you missed 1 or 2 episodes, chances are you would not understand a lot of things that happened. But if you can get your hand on all episodes, and watched them all, you will see the soap opera side of it was quite good.
Actually, mostly on the last episode of season 4, which was a completely stupid ending episode. There were many cliff hangers still around. The ending for season 5, now that was a good one. The best for any series I've ever seen, SciFi or not.
No, the plans was for 5 seasons. They had to rush and give an end on season 4 exactly because WB decided to drop the axe. The storyline on season 5 was on the original planning.
Lets remember the fact that NO Babylon 5 spinoff worked. Neither Crusade nor that one about Rangers worked. I kind of enjoyed Crusade, but the Rangers' one really sucked.
Here in Brazil we also have several choices for cell phone providers. Heck, my father lives in a very small town (less than 40K inhab), and he can choose between 4 different companies. Competition is so aggressive that some are predicting that in 2 years, the rates for cell calls will be lower than those of fixed landlines, which is already true, in many cases, for long distance calls. Actually, there are many households around here that no longer have a landline. They only have cell. You can have a cell phone right now without paying for a subscription for 2 years (at least), or even get a prepaid phone. The number of cell phones in the country is already many times the number of landlines. Just so you know, we don't have competition on landlines (except if you are a company, and is getting at least 15 lines).
I much ratter they spend my tax money studing telepathy theories than developing new weapons and general means of murdering people. Then again, that's just me. And, like you, I'm screwed there.
There are someexplanations around that explain the "Deja Vu" phenomenon physiologically. (Those are only the first two I've got on Google, many others are avaliable, but mostly centered on the "separated routes" theory).
They will have some evidence that COULD mean telepathy exists, but not solid evidence. In the end, no one will be satisfied with the results. The believers will clain it proves telepathy exists. Most others will claim it didn't prove anything.
Even tho I have my personal believes and reasons regarding telepathy, I agree this kind of study is a waste of time.
I mean, according to their logic, people only create virus because they know about it. And since McAfee is one of the first (second?) antivirus on the market, they are the ones that made people aware that virus exist. Ergo, people know it is possible to create virus.
According to their logic, if antivirus companies didn't exist, people would not know it is possible to create virus, so there would be none. Ergo, McAfee should be blamed for it.

Yes, his acting was almost as good as his poetry.
Or his screenplay writing (Anyone seen Tek ?).
My company only accepts TXT or PDF resumes. DOC resumes are redirected to the /dev/null department for analysis.
Well, duh! Almost 80% of the people I meet use the computer just for things like that too, regardless of their sex. What is your point, exactly ?

That would be Linksys, not Netgear.
You obviously don't read much.
Most books are mediocre.
My personal path:
Helpdesk -> SysAdmin -> Manager AND SysAdmin -> Company Owner AND SysAdmin
It doesn't matter what you do now. Once people know you are/were a SysAdmin, they will dump everything on your lap.
In any case, I would never hire a SysAdmin that didn't work on helpdesk for at least a couple years.

TrueCrypt for Linux ? Do you really think custom officers know how to use Linux ?
Ha! It will be fun to watch.

Nope. The CIO :)

Only if you are not required by your company to do it.
Here, company policy requires reading slashdot at least once a day.
And no, I'm not joking.

I, for one, blame McAfee!

"noexec" is completely useless. /lib/ld-linux.so.2 YOUR_PROGRAM
Just do:
and you can bypass noexec.
Not to mention shell scripts, perl etc etc.
