  1. Same pay, more work on Is Today's IT an Undervalued Asset? · · Score: 2

    My experience in the past few years has been an increasing work load with the same pay. Most companies don't fully understand how much work and responsibility IT has, even in non tech related businesses. Recently more of my time is spent doing tech support, when I need to focus on programming and network administration.

  2. Fax Spam on 80% Of Incoming E-mail At Hotmail Is Spam · · Score: 2

    At least they are paying for the long distance phone call when they send me FAX spam.

  3. Technology? on Pop-Under Ads Patented · · Score: 2
    "The real money, it hopes, will come from licensing the technology..."

    I wouldn't call a line or two of JavaScript technology.

  4. Re: Bid on Ebay on Study Shows Large Space Tourism Market · · Score: 2

    I was taking a look at that myself. In fact, I looked at the previous auctions of many high bidders. Most purchases were under $20. And these are the people who have a disposable 20 million?

  6. This means... on China Plans Moonbase · · Score: 2

    I'll have to start blocking email from .moon

  7. AOL is like organized crime on Disconnecting · · Score: 2

    Once in, you're in for life.

  8. So you want to be a sysadmin forever? on System Administrators - College or Career? · · Score: 2

    A degree will show a potential employer that you're able to learn. Unless you want to be an admin when your 40 (and every other admin you work with is only 20) I suggest you go to college. I guarentee you will want to advance to upper management after a few years of working. Someone will a degree and less experience will probably beat you to it.

  9. Mirror Here on Homebrewed LCD Projectors · · Score: 3, Informative
  10. Forget software, get hardware on Software Based Echo Cancellation? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I remember when I worked at Tellabs we had a product, EC-8000 Digital Echo Canceller Might be worth a look.

  11. Lets milk them for their money on TLD Registrar Wants To Charge $300 For .Pro Names · · Score: 2
    I like this part:

    Global census data shows professionals are higher wage earners

    What they are trying to say is "these rich bastards have money and we plan to stick em for $300 a pop"

  12. Would I do it again? on Community Networks and Websites? · · Score: 2

    I started an online community for Purdue University students in late 1997. Going on our fifth year, I'm frequently asked if I would do it all again. I'd like to think not. Using slashcode has certainly allowed me to focus time and money elsewhere. Our target audience is small, operating budget non-existent with page views in the 300 thousands per month. When the board of trustees wants your domain, it's tempting to just give up at times. The $5 in advertising revenue certainly doesn't make up for the bandwidth. So, would I do it again? I'm a geek, enough said.

  13. Re: Really, how common are these things? on Klez, The Virus that Keeps on Giving · · Score: 2

    We are running Sendmail 8.12, Amavis Milter & McAfee on Linux 2.4.x

  14. Re: Really, how common are these things? on Klez, The Virus that Keeps on Giving · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Quite common. If you just sit and post on slashdot all day, then no, you probably aren't much of a target for virii. However, I run 3 large websites, active on 10 mailing lists and send close to 50 emails a day. My email address is spread all over the Internet like a bad case of herpes. In return I get close to 30 - 40 infected emails a day. That was before I installed a virus scanner on my mail server.

  15. Re: Not unique on Your Fingerprint Buys Groceries in Seattle · · Score: 1

    Who's to say that they will use only your finger prints? Our NOC has you type a 4 digit pin number while it scans your thumbprint just to unlock a door. Chances of a person having the same print and pin is probably non-exisistant.

    I'm working on getting the MPEG mirrored too.

  17. Cool but I'll wait for the right price on Segway Getting Real-Life Tests · · Score: 1

    Since Segway won't get me across the states, I'll stick with my SUV. And for around town, nothing beats my bike for the price. So it's really a luxury toy. When and if the price drops down to 300 or less, I'll get one.

  18. Legalities and the future? on Spyware Fights Back · · Score: 1

    I hope this isn't breaking new ground for other software vendors to jump aboard. What's next? Installing the next Microsoft app only to find out it decided to wipe your Linux partition? I just don't have enough time in the day to read those 50 page EULAs

    Unfortunately our school cut RESNET from Internet2 access.

  22. Get ready for change on Dataplay Ready to Launch · · Score: 1

    Unfortunatly any technology that is backed by the biggest players will become standard. If they wanted to phase out CDs and make Dataplay the standard, they could easily do so.

  23. Mirror Here on Establishing the Maximum Speed of a CD-ROM Drive · · Score: 2, Informative
  24. This is not news on California + Oracle = $95 Million Fiasco · · Score: 1

    Almost every software company I've talked with will try to oversell their product. California is to blame for not fully understanding the purchase. It's scary that government can spend 95 million on software. I could think of thousands of better uses for tax payers money. California could of spent zero by going with MySQL.

  25. Only if they knew on Deutsche Bahn to Sue Google · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Obviously Deutsche Bahn isn't too Internet savvy, or they would know that this only causes the information to spread even further. They cases only cost Google money, quite sad really. I'm sure it will be thrown out of court. There have TXT files on the Internet (and way back to the BBS age) detailing how to do just about everything such as creating your own explosives. Only criminals will use the information for illegal activities, since when is having the information illegal? What's this world coming too...
