...do you track "every piece" of junk email someone sends? Sounds like a great idea, in theory, 'cause nobody likes spam. In practice, I'd be interested to see the methods for tracking the spam and proving it came from the spammer (especially when they forge headers, etc). Suggestions?
...but then I quit my job to go on Phall Phish Tour 2000 (the last Phish tour for a while, you know). That was a full time effort, but now I'm unemployed!
Then the tech market tanked, and the employers stopped hiring stinky hippie techs who have real work experience in favor of shiny, new MCSE's with years of experience counting beans.
Now I've cleaned up my act, taken a shower, and made an honest attempt to rejoin mainstream society (no, really).
I still refuse to get that MCSE, though. And I still think it was worth it...work sucks.
Of course it isn't! That's why it says "News for Nerds" on the logo. Why the hell would anyone think that this site has anything to do with journalism? Anyone who reads regularly knows that/. is mostly a "my OS is better than yours" site with the occassional link to something cool.
Not only the server and handheld worlds, but in the embedded space as well. Can you imagine if your Tivo or anti-lock brakes were controlled by Windows CE? There's a scary movie in there somewhere...

Makes me long for the days when my Newton was the coolest way to take notes in class...
Sun is just returning the favor after IBM offered to help clean up the "We Put the Dot in .com" ads while the .conomy tanked.
This isn't a journalism site
