Keep it simple. Lug your kid around with you at all times (or use a sling) and let him or her sleep with you in your bed. That's how human beings have been doing these things since the beginning and it still just works.
Just a data point: I work at the University of Pennsylvania in the core networking department. We do the stuff you are interested in. All of our Network Engineers here have at least a masters degree in either Telecommunications or Comp Sci from the university.
My Sept 2003 VerizonWireless bill had an error on it to the tune of $220 for early termination, plus reactivation, plus taxes on that. This was Verizon's fault, and I called them right away. They promised to fix it asap. Didn't do it. Next month, I called again. Nothing happend. Just talked with them again yesterday, and they swear it will be done on Friday. Needless to say, when I call tomorrow, I expect to get another run around.
Or maybe they don't take you serious unless you call them at least 3 times.:-)
There's a book which deals with the issues of light's impact on human health called Lights Out. The authors claim that extended light induces sugar cravings in people among other things. Worth a look if you're into that kind of stuff.
Speaking of 802.1x (no, we don't use it yet), I read reports that MacOS X 10.3 "supports" it, but can anyone confirm that and give some details of the support?
It's said that one should never trust a thin chef, but with all the recent attention on the failure of low-fat diets to prevent obesity and its complications, where do you weigh in on the whole low-carb way of eating?
I started a reduced carbohydrate way of eating in November of 2001 and I'm still doing it. My health is greatly improved. I lost 25 pounds of fat, and now weigh a lean 145 pounds. I feel great and have a lot more engery now than I used to when I was bigger and ate the standard western diet. Also, I cured my high blood pressure and no longer need to take blood pressure meds. In addition, I used to get migrane headaches which would ruin entire days for me, but I don't get them anymore either! I have had one in over 6 months. Phew!
For the most part, I eat what is known as the paleo-diet. I consider this a permanent way of eating. I don't find it hard to maintain at all. I can eat an amazing variety of really great food, and in large quantities. As far as 'eating less calories == weight loss' is concerned, that didn't apply to my case. I was eating constantly, way more than I used to eat, and still losing weight. It was amazing.
And yes, I've had my cholesterol checked, and it has improved as well. Weither that means anything is debatable.
For those looking to improve their health, I recommend a book called 'The Protein Power Lifeplan'. It covers the low-carb and "paleo-diet" thing very well.
Once my biometric data is stored as my credentials, how do I revoke it if it gets compromised? That seems to be a problem with using biometrics in general.

It should be noted that Python comes with a whole heck of a lot of useful modules, so out of the box, there isn't as great a need for an external module archive such as CPAN. However, Python folks are working on a CPAN-like collection for Python too. See Python's Catalog-SIG.
For what you get in Python, see its Global Module Index. You'll see why they say 'Batteries Included'.
Yes. Compaq's Turbolaser series, the GS140 will run up to 14 processors. However, this is old technology. It doesn't run the latest alpha chips, but the next generation of high end AlphaServers are just around the corner and they will. That's the WildFire series, which should start at a max of 32 processors using the newer Alpha EV67 chips @ over 700 Mhz. WildFire is a modular system. You plug 4 CPU bricks together to make as big a system as you need. I expect WildFire to be announced in May. They'll have excellent price/performance ratios.
Lower end systems come in a variety of flavors. From the 1 rack unit single processor DS10L. The 2 processor DS20E, and the four processor ES40.
I'm using Enom also, and lately, I'm very unhappy with them because their MX host for my domain was busted, i.e. returning 'user unknown' errors for email. I wouldn't have minded if their smtp server was down for a while because that wouldn't have caused a fatal bounce, just a delay. *sigh*
So I set up virtual email hosting elsewhere and tried to update the MX record for my domain, and that wasn't working either. I used their nice web page for updating my DNS, and submitted the changes. Over 12 hours later and not even their DNS servers have the new MX record!

Take care.

I just placed an order at Amazon.ca and in my confirmation mail (I don't call it email either), there was this setence at the top:
"Vous trouverez la version française de ce courriel au bas de la page."
Translation: You will find the French version of this "email" at the bottom of the page.
Cool.

I know about Lord Byron's daughter (Ada), but what's the name of and significance of Lord Byron's niece?
In the category of "essential" books for whatever we are calling sysadmins these days, we must includeThe Practice of System and Network Administration. 'Nuff said.
George R. R. Martin's series 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. Volumes include:
1. A Game of Thrones
2. A Clash of Kings
3. A Storm of Swords
Mr. Martin is currently writing book 4, 'A Feast for Crows', but please don't ask him when it will be done.

A few years ago, Macworld magazine featured you as a celebrity Mac user. What machines are you using now, and have you switched to MacOS X yet?
Oh yeah, ruby too.

What role does the programming language Python play within Google?

Plus I'll throw in another vote for Python and its Computer Programming for Everyone project.

And yes, they can run linux. However, Tru64 UNIX brings out the best in them.
Sorry about sounding like a sales-droid. I'm not.
I'm using Enom also, and lately, I'm very unhappy with them because
their MX host for my domain was busted, i.e. returning 'user unknown' errors for email. I wouldn't have minded if their smtp server
was down for a while because that wouldn't have caused a fatal bounce, just a delay. *sigh*
So I set up virtual email hosting elsewhere and tried to update the MX record for my domain, and that wasn't working either. I used their nice web page for updating my DNS, and submitted the changes. Over 12 hours later and not even their DNS servers have the new MX record!
And they don't answer their phone or email.
So, let the buyer beware.
