I have done a lot of work in the Oregon Public schools. The real reason why Windows use is so wide spread is that schools can't draw the talent that is needed to maintain sound IT practices. Let's face it, if the schools are not paying the geeks, or the teachers for that matter, a competitive salary, then talented people will go elsewhere and the schools will get stuck with sub-standard geeks who only know microsoft. Think about it, would you want to make $3000 a month as a Network Engineer, Systems Administrator, Help Desk Technician/Tutor/Nanny? I don't.
In my career, or lack there of, I have met MANY certified ``professionals'' that were not as good as one would imagine them to be. Out of every 10 certified geeks I have met, 9 who are clueless people that are really good at memorizing facts and can not apply this knowledge.
My biggest complaint about certifications is that they are almost *ALWAYS* based on one's skill at memorizing a situation. This doesn't apply well to the real world where things are HARDLY EVER text book examples. These tests should ALL be practical in application so one could prove that they can not only memorize a fact or two, but that they can actually apply this understanding in a real time situation.
I also think certifications are used by companies like Microsoft to undermine the really qualified people in the workforce. I am currently looking for a job and one of the things I specialize in is WAN Administration. I recently applied for a job taking care of a medium sized WAN but since I wasn't certified, By Microsoft no less, I was turned down.
I remember reading a story in 1998 or 1999 about a 5ESS switch that was stolen from a Vegas wearhouse. I can't find an article backing up my memory so it could be just that.....

So Tru64 is being phased out. So what? You have to look at this like we are all in an ecosystem. The environment is changing, the ``dinosaurs'' are getting killed off and this leaves more room for other ``creatures'' to fill the void that is left after the big guys fall. I will be happy to take work migrating Tru64 systems to FreeBSD, OpenBSD or Linux as the client requires.
The folks over at RADAR produce a very slick piece of recording gear based on BeOS. I wonder if they were licensed the source code to make updates for their OS?
IPF can run in stealth mode. In this mode a packets TTL isn't decreased when the packet traverses the firewall. It is invisible to the netork at large.
``Mormon Olympics''?? I really wonder how many Mormons are actually participating in the games?
Were the Olympics in Atlanta called the ``Baptist Olympics'' ??
Coffee tastes like burning, It smells good though. Also, I couldn't stand to have coffee breath, rank is the nicest word I can use to describe it.
Alchol is something I choose to live with out. Why?
1. it is expensive, I can spend more money on something else like more computer or music equipment.
2.Alcholism runs rampant in my family history. So why start down a bad path? Is there something worg with realizing that I would be better of if I didn't have a beer?
3. Dancing? You obviously have you facts wrong. There is nothing wrong with dancing.
As for the last comment, I suppose you are trying to imply that incest is somehow allowed and practiced? I am truely amazed by your ignorance.
I am sure you are/trying/ to be funny, some people will think you are. The thing about humor though is that you have to have some knowledge into the subject you are trying to be funny about. You clearly do not.
Won't he have some problems seeing the reflectors on the lunar sound stage in the California movie lot? I am pretty sure the mountains between New Mexico and California will get in the way.
I know, it is a hard choice. But this guy was complaining about not getting the affections of a women. It is pretty safe to say that tuning a kernel won't get you laid a majority of the time
How about taking a shower? That is usually a good start. Then you should go out to where women generally are. Like a mall, library or even a night club. Leave the computer, cell phone, palm pilot and Quake-war stories at home.

This isn't true. Your ``right'' to vote can be taken away.
I suppose most people don't know but FreeBSD on the Alpha works just fine. Have you tried looking into this?

This would have been far more useful if it would have been constructed with an erector set....
