I've heard Windows advocates make fun of me for running Apache and configging a text file. Now the irony is that they themselves will have to do the same thing.
But this could be a positive. Windows developers and sys admins may find it an easy transition from GUI- system administration to file based and thus wil find Linux and Apache a bit less daunting.
If this keeps changing like this, you could see Windows system administration moving more toward *NIX administration principles.
And you have no idea of the laws that apply to companies. If a company is only approached by male applicants, they cannot be penalized by law; they keep all applications on file for such purposes as to show that kind of thing.
If a company feels it needs more diversity, it will then try to interview candidates that will fit in but bring a diversity to their office space.
They still interview candidates that they want to hire. In the scenario above, if they went out of their way to interview female candidates thast they intended not to hire, a case could then be made against them since 100% of their employees are male and they have shot down female employees that they interviewed.
Companies do not want to open themselves up to that kind of accusation so regardless, they still only interview people they intend to hire.
Ok, let me clarify then. Nobody sends an interview invitation to employees they don't intend to hire. Those requirements you speak of only apply to applicants, not people they approach. If they do not receive a certain number of applicants of a certain type, they are not faulted.
Yeah, I know lots of companies that interview employees they never intend to hire. Happens all the time. In fact, they just waste valuable employee time running these interviews for people they never plan to hire because they've nothing better to do.
Well, now that I have talked through it, maybe you're right.:)
LOL! Omigod I call so much bullshit! They are Microsoft's customers because Dell, HP and all the others cram Microsoft down their throats and they cram it down their throats because they can't sell anything else or lose on on costs due to Microsoft's licensing agreements. Then their competitors would gain the edge on price and they would suffer.
Yeah, like they have a choice. They'll have a choice when Dell sells their crap with Linux installed on the desktop... not just the server.
If you've only edited your registry 5 times, you must not install software on that system. Everytime there is an issue with software or an install that they didn't predict, thats the first place that tech support has me go. In fact, I wrote an article on how to 'neuter' IE on your Windows system and have all system calls go to Firefox instead.
Editing the registry is part of troubleshooting in Windows and unless you have the one pristine Windows machine on the planet that never crashes, never has problems with installs, etc, you will and have had to edit your registry a bit more than that.
Second, I'm a newbie to Linux (or at least consider myself one) and run Fedora Core 4. The more I learn about it, the more excited I get. I've been introduced to Inkscape, Gimp, Open Office, Kate, Eclipse and so many others that I just continualy get more and more excited about it.
I'm to the point now where I want to install Vector Linux just so I can test out the new desktop environment on the new install.
You severly underestimate the excitement this creates once you find software for free. That right there gets consumers excited.
Actually, most games work great on Linux out of box. It's just that you have to install Cedega. Still, they all run like a charm.
And there are barely any Microsoft programs that don't have an open source equivalent: Exchange? Open Exchange. SQL Server? My SQL and PostgreSQL. And in aklot of cases (most often the norm), they outperform.
The only thing Microsoft has going for them is marketing and an addicted user base. Open source though is starting a methodone clinic near you to kick that Microsoft habit.
Heh... odlly enough, I was the web developer at the Microsoft Health Club where 98% of MS employees have memberships including Steve B. and I convinced them to run on Apache, MySQL and PHP (they refused to allow LInux).
And in fact, the market is changing up here to the point that LAMP developers are a commodity and in high demand; I usually only have to interview with one to two other people for positions.
The market IS changing even in the land of Microsoft.
I'm sorry but I installed Fedora core 4 on a desktop at work (which is a Microsoft network) and it not only recognized the network and hooked me up with access, it has a handy tool for recognizing printers on the network for easy access. And this is all via a GUI.
Information has levels. Personal information is the finest level of granularity as it is associated with only one individual and only that individual usually has access to it.
The more he shares this, the less granular it is.
True information longs to be free but does the individual long to free that informaton?
You do know how to tell the difference between a warning and an error right? I'm assuming since you came up with that number, you don't. Go back and count again.

This could be a good thing in alot of ways.
So then... Bill's motto is something like:
"Rip off their heads, shit down their necks and then install XP up their butts?"
LOL. Mod Up.
Hell, we can say that already :)

Throne idiots? Not recently but you can be the first. :)
God that was two eezy. Heh
Exchange? What a great idea!
Sir, I'd like to Exchange this crappy mail server for something decent.
LOL. Who'd want to put a piece of crap onto a thrown of gold? :)

Oh I get it. You want your machine to make decisions for you rather than you making your own decisions.
Baaaaaaaaaaaah! That's the sound of a sheep bleating. Sound familiar?
My mom runs fedora and she's a 65 yr old technophobe. It never crashes, she never needs to config things, recompile anything, etc.
I don't know what your problem is.
You don't have to pay. You pay for updates to the Cedega tool which can be downloaded for free regardless. It's just the updates make it seamless.
And I don't know what games you are talking about because I can play City of Heroes, Halflife 2, Doom3, Guild Wars and more.
Maybe you are talking Doom 1?
And I need a Linux box that functions like Windows minus mystery crashing, security issues, incompatibility, etc.
Oh wait, they already have that. It's CALLED Linux!!!
Would you also like a Donut that is shaped like a bagel??
Already been taken away. Use Cedega. Most games work out of the box on Linux... even new ones.

The sites originally listed? Duh... moron. I didn't list sites... I listed companies. Companies have many sites.
Do you get more stupid with each post or is it just you?
Wow... I'm getting dizzy from all this spin.
I'm sorry but I installed Fedora core 4 on a desktop at work (which is a Microsoft network) and it not only recognized the network and hooked me up with access, it has a handy tool for recognizing printers on the network for easy access. And this is all via a GUI.
So...um... what was your point?
Information has levels. Personal information is the finest level of granularity as it is associated with only one individual and only that individual usually has access to it.
The more he shares this, the less granular it is.
True information longs to be free but does the individual long to free that informaton?
Then it seems to be a cheap or outdated validator that lists everything as errors including warnings or has no ability to tell the difference.
You do know how to tell the difference between a warning and an error right? I'm assuming since you came up with that number, you don't. Go back and count again.
You do know how to count, right?
