If the OS on the server/ws has a GUI, then I will put a wallpaper featuring that X-Men.
If you want something professional, use the the real names of the X-Men

(there was a time that I could name the entire cast of the X, with real names, without breaking a sweat)
Of course, it is always cooler to go with names like iceman, gambit, beast, cannonball, bishop or maverick. What about the villians? Magneto (very bad for computers), sinister or mojo?
sunfire.chozsun.com and sunspot.chozsun.com wouldn't happen to be your firewalls, eh?
I am certainly glad that this writer wasn't too biased or anything.
Where this writer went wrong with the following statement:
"Religion and freedom have never really gotten along, from the persecution of Galileo to the demands by Orthodox Jews that Jerusalem shut down its cinemas on Friday night to Islamic attacks on writers and reporters in some Middle Eastern countries. Technology, a disseminator of so much information, a force for freedom, has always come under fire as Satan's ally."
I cam certainly glad that I have been grouped with other people with different beliefs.
I am Christian. Before you start sparking up your flame throwers, I don't belong to a religion.
What does that mean? I am a Christian by faith not by organization. Religion was built by man and not by God. A similar comparison is partisianship in today politics. Our forefathers never had the idea of bring in two separate parties to rule our land... but they do.
God never intended to have organizations just so people maybe saved. Faith comes within... not from some brick-and-mortar structure with a bunch of hypocrites running the scene.
I truly wish that this person would get off the anti-religious high horse and at least, write about something he knows. Review the game; don't preach to us the wrongdoings of religions today.
One of the first is the ability to connect via DSL or Cable Modem.
First and foremost, the 10Mb Network Pluggable module is in the works. This make better sense since I don't know of anyone with internal cable modems or DSL routers.
Most of my friends are black. If there is a divide, then I don't see it.
Granted that my friends are not in techie jobs but to say that they are enthusiastic about computers and the Internet is the understatement of the year.
When I first got my current computer about a year ago, I believe my friends clocked more time on it then I ever did. Always on the Internet and not just surfing for porn (like I usually do).
Finally, they got a computer and their phone stays tied up constantly. (I keep pushing them to get Cable Modem or DSL but whatever...).
I have another friend (who is black) who just got out of school for AutoCAD and I am helping him build a system for AutoCAD and a music studio (I will probably recommend two systems and the one for music running BeOS).
My girlfriend's aunt (who is black) needs a computer for her bakery and I am going shopping with her this weekend to Gateway Country (unfortunately, I cannot build a cheap enough system because I keep putting stuff in like a 17" monitor and 16MB Video Card:).
Where the actual divide comes in is personal choice. My girlfriend is a technophobe to the death while I rather have ZDTV on 24hrs/day and working at 3 computers at a time. The thing about it is as much as my girlfriend hates technology, I would rank her just above a common end-user. She figured out how to merge data with databases and I barely have a grasp on how to do that. (Hey I can do other stuff... I am a network engineer:P) She is great in Win9x environments but she despises using a computer and the fact that so many people are dependent on computers to run their lives. I think that computers are tools and nothing more. The best tool ever invented, but a tool just the same.
Every public library has at least ten computers with Internet access that is free. All you have to have is a library card.
Our economy is going through a shortage of qualified people for tech jobs so therefore we cannot afford to be racist, sexist or any type of 'ist'. We would be denying such untapped talent and screwing the e-community as in the process.
Incidentally, I live in Fort Worth (sister city to Dalas, in reference to "Couldn't agree... at all" by Panaflex) so maybe we live in a great area where we actually hire minorities.
One note of interest: Dan Geiger from OpNet has created a community program for underclassed teenagers and young adults and then placing them in high tech jobs. Not only giving them technical know-how but giving them the tools to succeed in the corporate environment. I got this info from ZDTV's Silicon Spin. Watch the segment in RealPlayer.
The Athlon is an impressive chip. Let us wait till the end of October to decide which company (Intel, AMD) has the bigger balls and better staying power!
By then, AMD will have their Server and Enterprise Editions (smells like Win2K) and their motherboards with SMP and all that mess.
Keep also in mind that the baddest motherboard makers (Tyan, ABit, AOpen, etc.) will be releasing motherboards for the Athlon.
If Tyan made a board for the Athlon that is similiar to their Thunderbolt for Intel... [official drool]
My man, you are a much braver person than I could ever be.
I thought working for a large companies would insure stability in your career but with the woes of MCI (does our frame relay and one T-1 from UUNet) and SGI (go back to Silicon Graphics) who needs that type of instability?
On the other hand, my current small company is trying to write up policies and procedures so I guess I will be looking for another job soon.
