Was there a policy in place to stop events like 9-11 from the clinton administration that was ignored?
Negative statements? Have you seen Rush/O'Reilly/Coultier? Lol, hypocrite.
Why can't republicans/conservatives understand that by providing help to all (the "christian" thing to do btw) helps everyone, rich included. Did you notice that when Bush version 1.0 was sent packing Clinton raised taxes? (Remember Bush 1.0 did to "Read my lips", lol another hypocrite). Amazingly the economy grew at a record rate between when Clinton was elected and Bush 2.0 was selected. Now we are in a downward spiral that only benefits the Dick's (Cheney) of the world.
I am not being ambiguous when I say bush 2.0 is a fucking moron, his speeches, policies, and actions prove that to be true.
Here's a good article for you: US Homelessness and Poverty Rates Skyrocket
While Billions are Spent Overseas on Occupation

As I watch far away images of body bags being filled, I see much closer images of bodies. I went by a local park the other day and it looked like a concentration camp crossed with a mass murder scene.
There were people in rags and covered with filth lying scattered all over the place. At least twenty people were on crutches, had parts bandaged, or with open wounds not even covered. They were all hungry and a large majority was sick.
All around this city I live in, and nationwide, the level of homelessness and poverty is growing alarmingly. From the last counts and estimates nation wide, there has been at least a 35-45% increase in homelessness and poverty. The increases have come over the last two years with the biggest increases being in 2002 and especially in the first six months of 2003.
Add to that the barely subsisting or borderline homeless/poor and we start to see a very alarming trend that shows no sign of going away. Over 30% of Americans are on the borderline of poverty. A lot just do not quite make the cut to receive food stamps or some kind of benefits and live on a razor edge of desperation and starvation.
I have talked to people that run food banks, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters. Places like Day Star, Catholic Charities, St, Vincent De Paul, and many other major support agencies. They all tell me they have seen a vast increase in people that would starve or be without clothes if not for their services.
The most shocking sight to see is homeless and starving children, living right near some of the richest neighborhoods!!!!! Right here in "humanitarian" America, home of the worlds largest "humanitarian" and "liberating" force (or is it FARCE?).
This country is putting more and more of our citizens on the brink of homelessness and desperate poverty. In addition, it seems that we have pushed countless others over the brink and into the bottomless pit of despair and need. All you have to do is look around, open your eyes, and you will see the vast sea of hungry and destitute.
I have seen more and more children and families out on the street or in feeding centers and at food handouts. To think that the world's richest country allows this to happen is Sickening! To think that we turn a blind eye to starving children because it is easier to tolerate than do something about it!
We cannot afford to hire teachers, build new schools, or even maintain the ones we have. Our children slip farther into the void of illiteracy and neglect. We are the lowest among the industrialized "first" world nations in literacy scores! Many "third" world countries now have higher literacy rates than the U.S.
We are setting ourselves up to turn the world's richest country into a third world quagmire. This country is sinking into a swamp of drowning poor and so-called "Economically Challenged!" The rich meanwhile buy bigger S.U.Vs (self indulgent ubi
Wow? How is it surprising that it took 1 post. The guy has the largest deficit ever for a single year, has spent more than any other president since FDR, started a needless war, made pathetic policy choices that made the coming recession worse, and is a complete moron.
I'd be surprised if he's re-elected. However, never overlook the ability of Americans to vote for the best commercial/best known name.
I wish people could accept when they are wrong about something instead of sticking their proud heads in the sand. I guess when you've been doing it for years, why not continue.
don't have to double pay fee's for the same broadcast it may happen. Probably just in time for you to see your broadband capped by your ISP for "over-usage".
They advertise watching movies via DSL/Cable (modem) access, but the reality is the media companies want the status quo because they fear the unknown.
This is the major weakness of our market economy in my opinion.
So for $18,000 you can have redundant OC-3 connections (line only). Not too bad, that's only 216,000 a year. OC-3 can handle a shitload of traffic too (my co loc server is using this setup for the whole location with thousands of servers, surely a few million iTunes downloads wouldn't cause problems).
Why not? It is significantly more likely (s)he'll get answered here than getting an ask slashdot posted. You'd probably be one of those assholes that says "That's what google is for." anyway.
I'm using MS Xenix (actually SCO) on 5.25 Floppies and I also have an old DOS 3.2 with GW Basic (forshadowing GW Bush maybe?). Nothing beats playing with an old system to help you realize what you've got.
Maybe I'll have my friends pitch my boss. God knows he needs it. He calls DLLs DSL, keeps asking when our co-located server is coming in, and cannot figure out that the latest greatest thing may not actually fit our goals and objectives.
If they are running 10.2 or later it is a dream to admin. Now if it's a PowerMac 8500 with OS 7.6 I might see the problem, but since 10.2 came out (really 10.1 but it was slow compared to 10.2) OS X has been a dream.
There is a difference between lazy and using all the available resources at your disposal.
For example, in your job do you ever look at a reference manual or book? In college that would be considered "cheating". In the business world that is considered okay.
It's all relative. Perception is everything. College is really just a proving ground. Outside of true applied learning (ie, engineering, architecture, medical,...) most college courses are just bullshit. Why the hell does a freshman need to take East Asian History from 1800 to Present to make them a better software developer? Answer: they don't. I have no problem with someone who uses every available resource to pass a worthless class. Trying to make students "well-rounded" is a fucking waste of time, resources and money, especially since they forget 99% of what they learn anyway.
I bet if you did a poll of everyone you work with and asked if they have ever cheated in their lives, over 50% would respond with a yes (if they answer honestly).
My guess is you won't have many opportunities to avoid cheaters. Just get used to it.
Cheating in school is really just using all the resources at your availability. Ethics don't seem to play a big part in business either. I'm interested in how you think cheating affects a persons prospects of being successful.
In my opinion cheaters are the best people to work with. They look for the best/easiest solution to the problem. I seriously doubt that there is someone who has never lied or cheated in their lives (the mythical Jesus aside).
There is in my opinion those who can do something and those that cannot. Cheating really doesn't help those who cannot. If you've ever taken any advanced classes that are applied knowledge (instead of homework/papers) it's easy to see who has an understanding and who does not.
Colleges need to change with the times and simply get rid of papers and homework. Let the student learn in their own way (homework isn't for everyone and papers only make sense in a language, writing, or literature class). Cumulative tests that are just small quizes generally help learning and retention. I remember my entire Markets and Intermediaries class and my Intermediate/Advanced Accounting classes, but I couldn't tell you shit about any MIS class I took (and I don't work in the financial/accounting world, I'm a software developer, and MIS is kind of a MBA type degree anyway - mostly theory).
I guess it's all perspective. BTW I graduated without cheating in the mid 90's. The difference in my success was graduating when the job market was Clinton instead of stank Bush.
You can just send their developers an email and they'll happily install some spyware for you. Voila, you get it for free. Plus Blizzard is a one trick pony.
This is by far the best AC post I've ever seen. Thank you for the excellent reply!
From a security standpoint are you refering to physical security or system (software) security? The only way vendors make a difference is if they are running something other than the status quo. For example you'll likely encounter these OSes in the real world significantly more often than not: Windows, Solaris, HP-UX, Linux, MacOS,... as far as servers go. On desktops it's overwhelmingly Windows. So from a real-world standpoint you have a better shot of knowing how to secure and test systems/networks/etc if you use the popular vendors of the time (I have worked for several different consulting companies and this is my experience from Fortune 500 companies, to small businesses, from Military bases (man security was lax before 9/11) to McDonalds (SCO lol;)). For example securing CPM or DOS isn't really necessary. Where working with the common errors and workarounds in Windows (I'd be willing to bet over 20% of servers aren't up to date on patches right now) will secure a significant percentage of the installed base (and get you more $$$ which is the whole point of working).
Isn't that what a student would encounter in the real world? Or do you want to make it like every other stupid college course teaching "theory" instead of some valid "experience"?
Right. Admin for Linux is cheaper than Apple (not).
Cost to setup/aquire softtware/etc from least expensive to most: Linux/Windows/Mac
Least Expensive to maintain from least to most: Mac/Windows/Linux (Remember Windows admins are significantly easier to find/hire/fire than Linux admins, plus explaining to 130,000 kids how to rpm -Uvh rpmname.rpm isn't optimal)
'our network is so outdated that it can't be hacked.'
That is rich. If that were the truth the dipshit other programmer I work with wouldn't get a virus/worm on his computer (NT 4) every time a new one hit the internet. Hell, he finally upgraded to 2000 and couldn't figure out how to boot off a CD!!! Lol, we'd be hurting bad without his services!!! OH NO PLEASE DON'T QUIT:u(
Every time I hear some asshole republican bitch about how inefficient the government is implementing services I just think of the examples that are as bad (if not worse) in corporate America.
Wake up assholes, it's okay to not let families starve on the streets. Ah, what are you going to do. The hypocrites (read Christians) drive to Church past the poor in their new Hummer thanks to GWBush & Co tax cuts. Pathetic fuckers.

Was there a surplus when he was selected?
Was there a war in iraq when he was selected?
Was there a policy in place to stop events like 9-11 from the clinton administration that was ignored?

Java anyone? Lol, I'd be willing to bet if Sun went under there would be some major difficulties in the industry.
Lol, how many Open Source developers use Java? Welcome to the hypocracy.

Right, however that isn't in your agreed usage of your cable modem.
They market it for downloading on demand movies, then when you do they cap your line. How sweet of them.
I argued with my teacher that armor could also be spelled armour in english.
Damn you Lord British!!!! Ultima III was my speak & spell.

OC-3 can handle a shitload of traffic too (my co loc server is using this setup for the whole location with thousands of servers, surely a few million iTunes downloads wouldn't cause problems).
I wonder if their traffic is metered.
Why not? It is significantly more likely (s)he'll get answered here than getting an ask slashdot posted. You'd probably be one of those assholes that says "That's what google is for." anyway.
My guess is there is an amendment that says they can. However, maybe not in a commercial venture.
IBM will still exist in 10-20 years, Sun isn't so sure.
You can do FibreChannel in apple too (externally) and connect to XRaid servers for significantly less.
Hell they are behind apple too.
Apple Dual 2.0 GHz G5 $2,999
Sun Blade 2000 Dual 1.0 GHz UltraSPARC III Cu $13,995
Granted it has an 8MB Cache, but hell you can get 4 Apples for less $$$.
where they cannot even format an html table?
BTW here's the full story without clicking through 8 pages.
Learn to format PC Mag (aka pull your head out).
Lol, so you're willing to pay for a Ferrari Modena 360 at $155,000 but actually receive the Honda Accord. Same thing, gets the job done.
In the real world you want the best performance for your budget. 38 million is a waste, as the comparison shows.
I'm using MS Xenix (actually SCO) on 5.25 Floppies and I also have an old DOS 3.2 with GW Basic (forshadowing GW Bush maybe?). Nothing beats playing with an old system to help you realize what you've got.
