Interesting sig, but "overseas" can correctly refer to pretty much any other country. Suppose you visit Brazil...is that overseas? It is connected by land to the United States after all.
I have always wondered: What if I were a brain surgon that was a (model) rocket hobbiest (perhaps mixing my own chemicals) and I knew Greek fluently? How would I express a difficult task then?
This is idiotic. "Caving" is the term used by people who don't know what "Spelunking" is and can't be bothered to check a dictionary. I don't know what part of the country you are from, but if you told me you wanted to go "caving", I would point and laugh at you. A lot.
Wow, I do have to give props for the people that put this together. It is really well detailed. I don't quite understand exactly what they are trying to say about the relationships though. Are they just trying to say that these are the routes and sites that make spam possible? If so, it seems a little moot to me. Real world example: Hiways may make it possible for , but it isn't the highway's fault. We should target the people responsible. Perhaps we should also target the middlemen, but I prefer to go for the source.
I personally use spamassasin to filter my mail. It works great for me, so my problem is solved. I suppose the ultimate way to treat spam is by getting the end consumer to ignore it. Oh well, just a thought.
On a personal note, I have a new journal entry today. Take a look, it is about duplicity in a certain American law.
The United States has *never* made any old money issued illegal tender before. You can absolutly trade an old bill for a new bill at most any bank. Futher more, it is *completely* legal to pay for your bill using a 2 cent (yes, 2 cent) piece that was once the official issue of the United States. Wouldn't be wise since they are rare, and 10 years ago they were worth over $100 a piece, but it is legal. Old money is legal forever. Go USA!
Of course we declared war on Germany

In fact, here is a link to it. You could have justed asked google, which is what I did. I used "declaration of war germany". It was the first hit.
I am not bitching about my story. I have 50 karma (well, 48 right now thanks to being modded down). I was bitching that this story is A) out of date B) not new worthy in the slightest C) there are other stories that while questionable (mine) are more releveant then what was posted D) It wasn't even an oversight, the editor's did it on purpose.
Not having my story posted is not really that big a deal, but it seemed like a good time to plug a more relevent story than the one we are currently dealing with.
I like the idea of one Linux to be able to unify the Linux community, but worry about its feasibility and its potential to squash other distributions. Can united Linux be an effective competitor to Windows on the desktop, provide security and robustness that we depend on, not squash the individuals and community with a replacement of a "corporate" Linux (and encourage individuals involvement in Linux), contribute back to and expand the Open Source community, and provide a unified and strong face for Linux to the rest of the computing world?
(Amazing I was able to put that into a singular question)
As an American, I really, really hope that someday we will go to metric. It is so much better than what we use. To this day, I don't really understand why we are stuck with this much harder to understand system. A simple example:
How many inches in a mile? Requires thought (plus you need to figure out what KIND of mile. Yes, there is more than one).
How many centemeters in a kilometer? Requires about 3 seconds to figure out.
As many people here, I am a huge Linux fan, but I am so much so that I am trying to figure out how to get into the professional Linux world when I graduate.
So, how did you get your job, and what would you recommend as the path to follow for us geeks just getting started in the professional world as to how to get into Linux? How can I become as entrenched with Linux as the professionals at IBM? I have had two internships (not with IBM, nor with Linux, but with other CS stuff), but how can I get an entry-level job in a Linux intensive environment like IBM? How can said job lead me into a career where I can be deeply involved in the Linux world?
If you ever read a 10-K filing on the SEC website, you will find the phrase "forward looking statement" is standard. It is a standard accounting term. Try not to critique something you know nothing about.
Why does the Topic say the lawyer said "is not piracy" when the text of the submission does not use these words? In fact, the text says: "Brad Smith as saying: 'Linux is a way of developing software whereas piracy is copying.'"
Could be just me, but I don't see the words "is not piracy" in there. We couldn't be bothered to use the actual words I suppose?
I worked at a retail store for a summer job and once I had a signifigant variance (something between $20-$80, I don't recall exactly). Fortunatly, the owner knew I didn't steel (and I didn't), so he let me off the hook. I guess some random customer did very well on their change back that day!
So, a lesson. If the till is off a lot, it could just be human error (as it was in my case) instead of theft. Mistakes happen. On a side note, I did once catch a fake $100 bill by sight checking, so I guess it evened out!
I had a dell laptop (Latitude), and I called dell for tech support. I got the usual run around where I tried to convince them I am a technically competent person. Naturally, they percedded not to take me at face value and asked me irrelevent questions that had nothing to do with my problem (my com port was literally dead, I needed a new motherboard, and no Windows setting was going to fix that.)
One of the many questions they asked me was if I had ever dropped my laptop. I foolishly answered yes, since sometimes I would pick up the front about a quarter an inch to release the cd-rom drive or battary and then let it drop.
They told me that my warentee was void because I *dropped* my laptop! I said bullshit. After some intense arguing, they went back to their taped copy of the conversation, where I specifically admitted to dropping the laptop "half an inch", and the dell support policy said that anything up to a full inch was ok. They gave me such a hard time about it. That soured me against dell tech support for a long time.
I still own a dell laptop (good machine), and every once in a while I have to call them because of some obscure problem. They still ask me all the standard questions. So annoying. Sometimes, I wish I could just yell "Look, here is the problem. Fix it.", but my mom taught me to be polite, so I usually have to go thru 5 good minutes of crap before we can actually talk about the problem.
Even if he is a bag boy, that seems sort of irrelevent to me. I thought we lived in a system where ideally anyone could get involved in politics. I believe some of the frist congressman were farmers and other "low class" positions. His current occupation is irrelevant. He is constantly exposed to people and probably has a better idea of what is going on than some congressman who spend little time around their core constituency.
Most supercomputers have been using Unix (and the many varients thereof) for a long time. Unix has always seemed to be able to handle multiple processors efficently. This is just the rich man's version of a beowulf cluster:)

I noticed that too. Good catch! Would mod you up if I had points!

Seriously, why are we posting this 4 *year* old story? And the editors even know it is 4 years old!
I don't suppose a story about Mozilla vs. Microsoft on CNN would be more useful than this old, useless story?

Seriously, it is time to convert over.
As many people here, I am a huge Linux fan, but I am so much so that I am trying to figure out how to get into the professional Linux world when I graduate.
I attend Clemson University and am in the Computer Information System (CS + business) program (and doubled in Political Science). My goal is to become a Linux sys admin, or perhaps some other Linux guru type job. The work that IBM is doing with Linux is also very appealing to me.
So, how did you get your job, and what would you recommend as the path to follow for us geeks just getting started in the professional world as to how to get into Linux? How can I become as entrenched with Linux as the professionals at IBM? I have had two internships (not with IBM, nor with Linux, but with other CS stuff), but how can I get an entry-level job in a Linux intensive environment like IBM?

Too bad Linux isn't at 7.2. Seems to be currently at 2.4.18 at this moment. Check out www.kernel.org to see if you like.
You must be thinking of Red Hat. Too bad Red Hat isn't Linux.
I have forgotton this reference. What does it mean?
