Because we have about 10 layers of screen scraper type things, which is not fun. One gets the info from the terminal session on a HP-UX box (actually I think its a largish cluster of boxes), writes it out to files on a network drive, which get imported into a datawarehouse which gets pulled into some access database at seemingly random intervals, and back again through a similar process! Weeee! It's also fun when the datawarehouse is around the other side of the world and it goes down.. Its not an enjoyable system, and I hear we are STILL looking at peoplesoft (should be a fun move considering the future of it looks rather bleak)
Agreed on both counts! Whats wrong with getting the regular xml and zipping/compressing it with your tool of choice? Does it really need a whole new spec? In other news, I'm putting that link in my sig.
I make 30,000 AUD (22,000 ish USD) doing desktop/lan support in Brisbane. The houses where I rent START at about $205,000 (this is around 1 hour drive from the city. If I wanted to, and had enough cash for a deposit, on my wage, I could get a loan of less that 100k. With mine and the girlfriends wage combined, we could borrow 150k max. Its allllll bulllshittttttttttte
The companies fuck us over, its time we fucked back
I think money is the only motivator. Sure I enjoy IT, but no more than anything else. I've been thinking about moving to some type of outdoor profession. I have a friend who stacks fruit at a grocer, he makes 5k a year more than I do (I do desktop/lan support and programming).
I know which job is easier (and the bastard gets a terrific perve all day long)
Why not load share between two processors, send one order to the first, the next order to the second.. If you get enough orders you should still get decent rates on fees at both..
I've been contracting for the last 5 years.. With the company I am presently with, for 2 years. They constantly dangle the "full time" carrot, but never deliver. I've found this with every place I have contracted, they talk the talk, but make excuses when its time to pay up on promises.
I saw the one where they "enhanced" the eyeball and found a reflection of some boat window, then from that, managed to find the person who owned the boat. Or some such nonsense.
Better yet, the image had been deleted and the obtained it from "residual charge" of the flash memory.
Something along those lines is possible (provided the photo has not been overwritten and the memory is not volatile and is reasonably unfragmented. PhotoRec does this, among other tools
i second that! dd_rescue and dd_rhelp have both been a terrific help.. I had to hack dd_rhelp to make it write the temp log to a location other than its default, as I run from read only media, and the default location is the source device with ".log" appended. In general, many many times better than dd alone

But RMS is the antichrist!

I had the same problem with a 15" KDS monitor which I too didn't have a manual for (similar to your appropriation of said device!)
It showed pretty patterns for a few seconds at higher resolutions in X, then promptly fizzled out to nothing.
that changes the border colour to... orangey brown?
seconded. the new groups interface is much worse than the old.

pity you have to call india for support tho..
automation is overrated.. :)
sometimes the simplest solution is a manual one...
but sometimes not
same.
i've decided i need a job outside..

no, it was a lie
it already has an installer it's called /bin/bash :)
I don't have that directory, probably because I removed the helpcentre nonsense :)
dd_rescue / dd_rhelp are much nicer to use on defective media, as by default they try again on errors, where as dd will skip
i second that!

in his book he says some guy who hosted it changed the name from freax to linux iirc..
i'll take it ! =D
