At the last company I worked for we used transformers as our naming convention. There are plenty of names available and you can get fairly creative with using the names:
All NT machines can be decepticons because they are evil, and all UNIX machines can be Autobots becuase they are friendly.
Your biggest UNIX machine can be Optimus and your biggest NT machine can be Megatron.
Your tape library can be Soundwave because he was the transformer that you put tapes into.
Your entire NOC can spend a fun filled afternoon debating naming decisions. It is a fun waste of time!

I get this message from this girl I kindof like on MSN saying to go to this URL urgently. So I do (duh!). Turns out it is a porn site.. So I'm thinking what is this girl saying? Is she dropping some no so subtle hints? As I ponder this I get a MSN message from my mom asking me why I sent her a link to a porn site.. then I understood..
What is even more disturbing than this is the fact that someone had to sit and look at the goatse.cx picture long enough to make an accurate ASCII version.
Yes IMBD is great. But Corona is the defacto standard for upcoming movie information. IMDB gets a lot of their information from Corona. And it's from Vancouver where all movies are made these days.
The only way we can show Symantec the injustice of their actions is to hurt their bottom line. I believe it is appropriate at this time to call for a boycot of all Symantec products until such a time as they reverse their decision.
I don't know about the rest of the article, but the whole section regarding the Doom movie was just copied / pasted from Corona's Doom Page. Maybe I missed the credits section?
Like almost ALL the other ranking sites out there, the company must pay a 'sponsorship fee' to get on the list. Funny coincidence is that the ore you pay, the higher you get ranked. This same phenomenon exists on the web host ranking sites too.
Whenever I am hiring a new admin I look at three things primarily:
1) How much of a geek is he/she. ie, does this person use and love computers at home as well as work. Has the person at least installed 2 or 3 different OSs at home for the shear joy of installing OSs. I find that people who love their work rather than just being there for the $$ make MUCH better employees.
2) Experience. Has this person at least had a year or two working for a technology company. I have found that people without corporate experience take too long to fit in.
3) Intelligence. Can this person learn quickly, and will they learn stuff on their own time. No sysadmin will be 100% knowledgeable on all the systems we use, so I need people who can get up to speed quickly.
People will say that my hiring is unfair because some people have families to go to etc. The sad fact is that there are many people out there looking for work who have no commitments outside the office. And I don't care whatsoever if the person has any formal education. I have hired high-school drop-outs that have become fantastic Systems Engineers.
I was just up in Vancouver visiting a managed hosting company called Roundheaven Communications. While I was signing in to receive my visitor pass I noticed the three individuals signed in before me marked their company down as Slashdot. I could not make out the names however because they were more or less unreadable.
Just recently I dealt with a job-seeking Java developer. He wanted us to fly him out to Vancouver, put him up at a fancy hotel etc.. When there are people in the street offering to code for food, this guy has the gaul to expect nothing less than the royal treatment. Techies with piss-poor attitudes in this economy will be filtered out.. You are the most arrogant link... g'bye..
At my last place of work there was _constant_ in-fighting about which editor ruled the most. I said Pico whilst most others said vi. I always thought it would be a grand idea if someone were to morph the two into vipo. Combining the best elements of both.
Slashdot Mirror
Here is that link properly formatted and correct.

Looks like CNN ran the story also.

So in the sense of fairness, will we be able to pirate any software we want that comes out of China without fear of punishment?

I have declared myself the greatest systems engineer ever. Praise me.
So now it's ok to do this?:
Sun: Overpriced and people who use them are usually arrogant
SGI: Utter crap
IBM: Website sucks and their support is horrible
Apple: Dead in the water. Buying anything Apple is a complete waste of money.
AOL: ISP for retards
Cisco: Total garbage hardware. Who would ever use something from Cisco?
Intel: Falling behind the times with overpriced underpowered, CPUs.
The preceding is my opnion and not representative of fact.

Here is some insight into how I hire SysAdmins:

I saw Wil at the Cosumer Electronics show in Chicago of 93 working the NewTek booth with one of those Headeset mikes.
The power module generates up to 1200 watts of unregulated DC electrical power that can keep going as long as it is supplied with hydrogen...
Wow.. That is amazing.. But where does one get hydrogen refills from these days? I don't remember seeing them at 7-11.
