I don't think I've ever been asked for any certifications during interviews. I haven't seen many job postings in which certification was even mentioned, much less required. This was all sysadmin work.
Maybe you should just work on your resume a little more?
Start your own crappy banner-ad-funded weblog "news" site if you want to read stuff you find interesting, or figure out how to set your slashdot preferences. You could call it dickbag.org.
I'm sure, if it progressed anything at all like Mozilla, we'd get a production-quality air traffic control system in, oh, 50 years. Meanwhile, I would have to walk to Australia.
I hardly think Toshiba advertised the machine thusly: "Please buy the new Toshiba Piece Of Shit XP! Now With More Crashiness!" I imagine reliability either wasn't discussed, or was played up.
The consumer shouldn't be expected to research the reliability of the machine; if it's a piece of garbage, at the very least the warranty ought to cover it.
I hope you never run a company. It would be a dismal failure, with the amount of disdain you would harbor for your customers.
He bought a processor with a 1GHz+ chip in it. He did not pay for a 500 MHz CPU. It doesn't matter what little caveats he should or should not have dug up, buried deep in Toshiba's website.
He bought something that was advertised as working perfectly fine at its rated speed. It does not work at that speed. Toshiba needs to rectify this problem. It's that simple.
Um, retard? "Netra T1" and "Netra X1/V100/etc" were two separate and distinct thoughts. I know the two are different products but, unlike you, I'm not an anal-retentive pretentious fuck whose sole purpose is to nitpick others' "incorrect" posts.
I can go to "www.sun.com/products", too. Please pull your head out of your ass and try and get the point I was driving at, which I've reiterated several times. I will not reproduce said point for you here; you will have to figure out how to find my previous posts on the matter.
I'm quite impressed you were able to click "reply", however. Perhaps, some day, I too will have vast-yet-unimportant knowledge of the minutiae of Sun hardware (or figure out how to use the middle mouse button in X) so I can make posts like yours too. I yearn for this day.
The 280R is a single- or dual-proc Ultrasparc-III, supports up to 8GB of RAM, and supports up to two FC-AL (yes, fibrechannel, not SCSI) drives internally, along with one external FC-AL connector and I think four PCI slots. It's 4U, not 5. It also has a remote management card which provides LOM-like features (poweron, poweroff, etc.).
Whoops, I was just basing it on the 220s and 420s I work with, and figured it was SCSI, as well. It does have an external ultra-wide SCSI port on the back of the machine, at any rate.
The point I was making is that the thing is clearly not positioned for the same market that the Apple server is, and I have no idea why Apple chose to include it in its product comparison list. If anything, they should've used the Netra T1 or X1/V100/whatever-it's-called-this-week.
IBM and SGI have had Freeware CDs for as long as I can remember, as well. The difference is, IBM has been including the libraries and header files necessary to ensure source-code compatibility with Linux in the base OS now for about a year.

Or, are you Mother Theresa?
Yes. I am without sin, and I am casting stones.
Duck, motherfucker.

Well, most CDs are $15-20, too, and most slashdroids steal them... so I'm assuming they think this is no different.

I have never gone above the speed limit in my life -- go suck three cocks.
How is stealing one product different from stealing any other, simply because that product comes on a CD-Rom?
It is deluded thieving slashdroids (with shitty high UIDs) like you that are ruining the Internet. Please eat a bullet.

Yes, it's illegal to download Photoshop, but NO, I wouldn't have paid hundreds for it, and I don't require it, I just want to have it.
I don't require a Viper RT/10, but I just want to have one, so I stole mine.
So, unless you don't EVER speed EVEN A LITTLE bit over the limit, don't preach to us about NEVER downloading ANY copyrighted material.
I never do. So, kindly eat a dick.
People who attempt to justify their theft in any way are fucktards.

When you own the means of production, distribution, and broadcast, does anything you create need to be clever?

Look at the kind of music these fellows put out. Now tell me anything they create is "clever".

Then reply to it with some smart-ass quip, and click "post anonymously". A lot more fun than sour-grapes moderation.

That top20-list included some movies I've never seen, or even heard of, so I really don't think those could be good movies.
So, you're the reason all that top-40 shit is popular!

Now I, and the other two IA64 users, will have some programs to run on our Linux-64 boxes!
Can someone please port nethack for us?

You just basically agreed with everything I said.

But then again, what's been the mosat popular music media until perhaps very lately? The CD.
What does this prove? The CD is popular because it is convenient, not because it sounds particularly good. "Popular" has never implied "good" anyway.
