Women Leaving I.T.

My wife graduated with her BSEE last may and she's still looking for a job. She was one of 2 females in her class and 98% of the others were from out of country and many of them went home.
Living in DFW you'd think it would be easier for her to get a job but despite her skillset and companies "wanting" to hire college graduates it still has not happened.
I'm not sure if the bigger trial has finished for those other news people who are refusing to give up their sources names.. if not then it's up to that higher court to decide.
Seriously it's like that woman knights anyone that comes by lately. Given the man has done great things with charity's (Gates) but is she in a compeition with the pope to Kight/Cannonize more people before the other dies?
Sorry but shaving a few seconds of that compile does not justify the premium of the sun name being on the box. We've built our own 2 way servers and they compile nearly as fast.
If these laws take hold everywhere then the deployment of advanced services will just take their time. And places that none of those companies plan to service will never be able to provide these services to their communities.
Personally I doubt they care about little towns they fear big cities like pittsburg and atlanta wiring themselves. They're trying to protect their top 100 or top 200 markets.
Those statistics were compiled by counting which zip codes had at least 1 broadband line.. It's a artificial number. I'd put it at half that and that's pushing it.

Martian Sea Discovered

· Score: 2, Interesting
about the age of the ice pack. Estimated at 5 million years by crater impact aging. If Mars had water 5 million years ago on the surface then it may had a atmosphere then also. And if it had a atmosphere just as long as earth did until 5 million years ago then there could of been life on the planet and advanced life at that. We've seen microbes on ancient mars rocks so it's entirely possible there was life on mars but to what extent we cant see. Maybe storms or whatever stripped mars of it's atmosphere erased any visible signs from the surface such as vegetation.
In the back of my mind I keep thinking there was a law on the books about people taking control of a computer without the users consent. Now it seems to me that circumventing a pop up blocker to open a new window violates this law and the advertiser and possibly the website could be held liable.
I know this law is on the books maybe someone could point it out.
Is systems with RSA keys that you swipe at the terminal, loads up your desktop (these are thin clients) and all applications necessary to do your job. It also lets you into everything you're authorized to access. This seems to be pretty secure IMO with the onus on the users to maintain physical security of their passcards and the company to make sure those who enter the building are who they are.
Where I work the datacenter is primarily sun based hardware. Sure we have a few multiproc machines running redhat and I cringe every time I see a department say were going to use a sun workstation for each employee. When in fact for each complete workstation we could have better performance from a properly configured Linux machine and get 3 of them for the same price.
When you get into the lets buy Linux servers the sun engineers are quick to tout that the sun servers are better and every other excuse in the world. There are no official "Linux Engineers" in the company so our counter arguements are always brushed off like we dont know anything.
They're vauge becuase they dont want to get into the ghz vs performance aruguement.
8x64bit FPU's along with a seperate processor that can handle 2 threads at once along with a full speed memory bus may be able to blow the doors off anything in production. Also considering that this memory is cheap enough to put 3 of these in a gaming ocnsole that may retail at 300 dollars points to the fact that Rambus may be able to churn out multi gigabit solid state drives to support these blazing fast speeds.
If this all pans out you'll have a set top box that's light years faster than your desktop machine with it's normal hard drives.
Sorry guys but I never saw the code however if you fool around with that link you can change it and get a 1x1 gif image no matter what.

Our salary's keep rising around 4-6% a year but our company is not union, but if they killed our raises especially since were extremely profitable unions could get a toehold.
I for one am against our company unionizing it would only ruin the apmosphere.. glad I'm in Texas where it's right to work.
You go get it.. you dont say "Maybe I can cobble together something managable"
Apple is here for the long term. Will shuttle be?
FYI please dont compare hardware vs hardware becuase you can get something for that price. But when you compare XP Pro, Office, Video and Picture Editing things get expensive. With mac's it's already there.
And the target audience is those who dont upgrade their pc's.. in 2-3 years there may be updated mac mini's to upgrade to but that's beyond the point.
I think in iRobot the system there was ideal. Cars were directed to destinations by computers and the only input the human provided was where to go.
Also I did like what appeared to be the drive system of the cars to be large balls that could move in any direction powered by magnets levitating the car off them and moving them around.
Luckily I seem to be on a cluster that's not being intergrated with a new cluster.
Unless you know anything about how adding new servers to the clusters and how flippin hard it is to do right then really just sit back and go do something else for a bit.
Everyone runs around with their heads cut off like it's the end of the world becuase the 8 hours they set aside to play the game are totally interrupted and they're delayed from getting to level 60. Get up watch some news and get involved for a bit. Then go back and appreciate you can at least play a game like wow in this country.
Email Should be granted post priority

Verizon vs. Europe

"If it's really important you should call"
It's this excuse that makes me say that email should be given the same priority as postal mail. I was a verizon user and this would not of affected me in the slightest becuase I've always used external IMAP email services and I will when the fiber is ran to my house in a few weeks.
Email is a value added service and if you truely want email to work dont let verizon handle it just get a gmail account or yahoo. Or even Runbox.com which of course I believe is a european ip but works great for IMAP/Pop3 for me.

I'd love to see this jackass. I mean I spent 5 years of basically hell in the military protecting his damn free speech rights and whatnot and just to hear someone like this who claims to be a Christian spew forth crap like that just plain pisses me off.
I think he needs to be eyeing his purity a little closer than saying were a bunch of moon faced wiccan fags with no friends.
Is that they're using software that they have procured without any oversight by congress. Remember they had to pay millions for carnivore and it came under congressional oversight. Today they're probably paying less than a million and that's pocketchange in the DOHS budget.
If you're still concerned then write your congressmen that you dont believe the retirement of carnivore does not mean that they quit but are now more than likely using commercial software that is flying under the radar of congress.

Then who cares we take what we can and move to FreeBSD and let them hang.
And a mass exodus to OS X wouldnt kill most of the OSS crowd they would adapt and overcome.
Editors you really need to look at these stories sometimes.

I'm sorry but there is no compelling reason for me to ever want a plasma tv. We've got plenty and they have all had burn in issues.
I dont think image quality is better than a CRT
And I dont need to mount it on the wall.
I consider either a DLP big screen or projector as a more logical choice and the price helps also.
