  1. Getting a Job on Computer Science Curriculum in College · · Score: 1

    If you're just trying to "get a job" maybe this Dan guy is right, but I wouldn't listen to him.

    Who are you? Are you an okay student, bright enough, and want a job as a 'programmer' for a few years? Then just take Dan's courses, but don't be surprised when your job moves off shore or you never move up.

    If you're ambitious, smart, and want a well paid career doing interesting work, then take the time now to understand your field deeply and set yourself apart from others. Mastering data structures is relatively easy; find skills that make you unique.

    AI, machine learning, and numeric methods are at the heart of my company's work, and the last thing I want is to hire another vanilla programmer.

    Well having said this, I could poke holes in it, but we'll leave that to someone else.

  2. Re:Shut up. It *does* belong here. on Linux Backup With DVD Media? · · Score: 1

    You can't share you google results, but You can use GoogleAnswers(tm). I used GoogleAnswers to ask a similar question about (re)writeable DVD on Linux. It was an interesting experiment, but I certainly did a better job myself.

  3. Lookat BackEdge by microlite on Linux Backup With DVD Media? · · Score: 1

    I've just started using BackupEdge by microlite. It works on Linux, Caldera Open UNIX, UnixWare, and OpenServer, and writes to tape, CD-R/RW, DVD(+/-)R/RW/RAM on several drives. It seems to write successfully on my SONY DVD+R/RW, though I haven't attempted a restore. (Yeah I know - I'll test it *real* soon ;^)

    The user interface is a terminal screen. It also supports command line operation.

    It would be nice to have /. and Kuro5hin wiki-wikis, or maybe topic pages at everything2.
