These days, it's a tough job market in the IT-industry. If you're not the BEST at what you do, you'll probably not get the job.
A company on the beak of bankrupsy will not hire more people than they need to!
I'm in you exact same situation. -six months ago I posted a "Ask Slashdot" question, on about the topic as you. (almost!) See it here
Well, some things chanhes in my life since then, so now I'm studying to get my Civil-Engeneering degree in Electrical Engineering (with as much IT-cources as possible)
Good luck!!
In most cases, using a radiator means pumping water into your computer. And THAT is one big source of trouble. Just imagine what happens if one of the pipes cracks, or if a joint falls off!
And, my Athlon 1,5Ghz will instantly boil any water because it's ONE HOT MAMA!
The BIOS can be upgraded from Windows!
For quite some time, Asus has had a free program that checks for BIOSupdates from FTP, and then automatically upgrades when needed.
It works on all windows versions.
Therefore; there is no reason for BIOS-makers to use DOS at all.
Why not use DeltaForce Landwarrior?
It has the most realistic Voxel-engine for 3d terrains. The scenario editor could be used to create their own missions.
Okay, it's been like 1 year since MS realeased Windows 2000. Why should they force us to upgrade again?
When WinXP becomes the most popular OS, MS forces companies/users to upgrade. Why? Because most of XP-technologies aren't backward compatible. Example: If one of two cooperating companies upgrade to XP, the other has to follow to be able to continue cooperating. Microsoft is deliberately outdating older versions. (Word docs is one example)
-Does the OS add any "killer-app" features? NO!
-Is XP neccecary? NO!
In my opinion, Windows XP is just "Yet Another Service Pack for Windows 95"...
Then again, what to expect from a Slashdot post : )

Any support for Foreign keys yet?
on
MySQL 4.0 Released
·
· Score: 2, Informative
Does this new release of MySQL support the proper use of foreign keys internally? (found no info in release notes). Or has MySQL a different way of implementing a "One-Many"-relation?
My university (NTNU.no) is using an old version of MySQL (from 1998), which does nothing when you set a foreign key.
In my (subjective) opinion, Windows Media Player is superior to both MP3 and Ogg in terms of quality/file size. Pretty close to CD Quality at 64kbps. Small files, and excellent quality.
Thus WMA is ideal for streaming media.
Since OGG is opensource, I really wish that it would have been better. However, encoding Ogg files takes unacceptable time on my Athlon 1,5 Ghz. The result is large files, with only decent quality.
This article really scared me! I have one of those IBM 60GB harddrives.I have a lot of critical data on it (which I depend on for my studies)
Although I haven't had any problems with mine yet.
Actually, my impression about using this harddrive for about six months is that it's extremely fast (and hot!).
Are there any warning-sign to look out for? Should I loose my sleep over this harddive?

How about a Gram rating instead? :)
Or rate the CPU by how noisy the fan is? (Athlon is superior here

"I'm downloading at 27kb/s. "
I'm downloading at 70 Kb/s... Sorry, I just had to brag of my connection too : )
But the site is in .ASP
Sorry, my Mandrake doesn't like that any better...
Have you tested this URL:

I think it's great!
Try this google search: Torvalds + I don't care
Yo mama!
Great!
Yet another interview with the Geek that
doesn't care to give his opinion on important issues.
People look up to you Torvalds! You should take a stand - NOW!

REBOL has done some real innovation here. Great work! To me, it seems like it is easier to create cool apps (applets) for the web in no-time.

Just too bad I have to learn "yet another programming language"

"very deep pipelining (20+ stages) to attain very high clock speeds (10GHz+ by 2006)"
Did AMD design the pipeline to get very high clock speeds just for marketing purposes?
(because everyone they realised performance rating is doomed?)
Still, a very promising CPU. (but a lot can happen before the CPU is realeased sometime in 2003)
Good luck AMD!

For pure nostalgia, I was wondering if anyone tried the first ever release of KDE? perhaps got any screenshots to brag about?

Where are the screenshots ??!!
