So many Anonymous Coward's. A site that wants you to be "comfortable with the command line," Gosh, I should be scared, I haven't seen a command line in about 5 minutes..

I guess going to the bathroom during commercials is out of the question....
I have a PVR, best thing around. I can start a show, and pause at the first commercial break, and come back 10 minutes later, and compress time using the skip button. I can read, build a server, talk to a neighbor, make a phone call, etc. I record show and "turbo watch" them (about 22 minutes per 1/2 hour show).
God bless the PVR, it has broken the chains of watching shows when they are broadcast...
The interesting thing is that AOL, that brought the masses to the internet (both a blessing and a curse for us techies), bought all these products, and has destroyed them. The only other company that comes close to the reverse midas touch is CA, best explained as the place good software goes to die. Aim I use sometimes, all the others may as well be dead in my mind...
I have a yahoo account to send mail from an outside source to a mail server to check MX is working correctly. I am going to let my account die. I get about 5 porn spams a day on average from this account. If I get excited about it, I relay it to abuse@ I already have about 50 accounts on many different domains, so I will use them to test my mail servers. As a new bit of fun, I am getting spam IM's on Yahoo now. I said it last week, I say it again: no torture is beyond my limits if used against a spammer. boil them in oil, burn them alive....
as per the sig file, I resemble that remark, but of course since I have a liberal arts degree, the "...and would you like fries with that" is already in my background;-)
Tim McMichael MCSE (but my other computer is a Linux box).
We have used many types: 3 letter site code/3 letter function code / two digit incremental - HQWGFS01 -west regional HQ - general file server - first installed server.
One lab used demonic names for a distributed processing group (each machine ran a daemon), but ran out after about three-dozen names (Northern Europe pagan religions gave us lots of names).
I ran through musical composers (or since they were so old, de-composers:) and themes - classical, pop, swing, rap, blues, etc., Muppets, Star Trek characters, famous disasters (our titanic server went over better than the hindenburg, of course that one went over like a led zeppelin, but that one was in the rock group theme, but I digress).
The big concept is that in a small network, naming servers cute things is great (we had two backup servers in the muppet days named Statler and Waldorf - the guys that heckled people from the balcony). In a big network, you really need a structure that includes elements so you can find the server: location, function, NOS (or manufacturer), and an index number so that you can have several servers that do the same function. Also, start putting on labels on the hardware soon, or you will be paying in hell to find a server ever. I worked in a 40,000 user organization that had a server that blew something, and was spewing SNMP packets across the network. We finally needed to go to the network switch, and track the MAC to a port and trace the wire to the machine... Organization is important when you grow. That is what separates the big network people from the small network types. BUT, the small network guys usually have broader knowledge, since one person will work on NOS, backups, routers, switches, wiring, e-mail, etc. I have had both experiences.
John McCain is another reason for term limits. Look at Byrd, Kennedy, and so many others. The longer they are there the loonier they get. If you are worked up about campaign money, lets attack the root cause, the money the Congress steals from us in high taxes, and wastes on projects to keep themselves in office. These guys control 2 Trillion dollars a year, and regulation and Court cases that could put M$ out of business. 1.1 million is a bribe to get them off the back of the company. Reduce the size and power of government and the money will leave politics... IMHO....

Thanks
I wish I could say something about this, but I can't get to the story with out giving my life history to the nit wits at the paper....
Guess I just have to go buy the pulp version of the fiction that they call news now at the times.

Linux the utility OS, runs anywhere. I have it on Intel & Alpha at home. What hardware do you want to make sing today :-)
Does this mean that I have to have a wi-fi and a hi-fi? You know some of us need to get with the technology bandwagon :-)
I guess my 8088 laptop running at a blazing 3.77 MHz is out of date now :-)

I work in the government, and we still use DOS. When you use hardware from a few decades into the last millennium, you need to use DOS...

I have gotten tired of being an OS bigot, I have people here at work that are big Novell types that are pushing a NW site:

I guess that I am spreading the same stuff...

maybe it can install lynx ;-)
If trends hold, my number of junk faxes may meet the number of spam e-mail's in about two years. The question is who taught who?
Do lowered curbs help you roll your computer down the road ;-)
The key is that people that use statistics that they are just plain wrong cause all of us to lose the ability to face issues in a reasonable way.
If one in six Americans need help, it is something that is important. If not, then we should develop in a way that addresses the more pressing issues.
sorry, wrong article. Does that make me handicapped?
Do you really mean that one in six americans is handicapped? I guess that means that we need to lose more up front parking...
