Serverbeach is not in bed with SCO.. if they do, I will drop them flat.
There are a lot of alternativs to EV1 (rackshack). They shit the bed and now that people are showing they don't much like that, they are trying to backpeddle.. It amounts of trying to doing spin-control because they did a move that is highly against what this entire community is involved in...
I, for one, will not do business with them again....
all I can say is let the games begin.. who cares how/why it got it out..
it is out..
and every guy out there looking for the latest 'sploit' will be oggling the code to find just what happens in 'that one key segment' that has been slowing them down..
Here in new york the starting salary for comp sci is roughly 90k year. Starting salary for comp eng is about 110k but those usually vary and I have seen jobs listed up to 170k. my source is my daily monster.com agent I have been getting for the last three years. last year I was lucky to see one or two jobs per day I qualify for, right now I see 10-20 per day, so now is a good time to look for a job if you are here in NY or planning on coming this way.
Rents are higher here, but they are on par with with SF.. don't believe anyone when they give you that crap about higher rent / higher salary = making the same as somewhere else that both are lower.. if rent is higher, and so is your salary you still are making more money (expendable) and have better opportunities and services available. Do the math..
Anyway, if you want to make the real money, NY and SF are the top places for comp sci / comp eng.
well.. lets see.. how many have we as america killed in Afgahnistan? how many have we killed in Iraq in 18 years of bombing? etc etc.. all the BS wars around blowing people up and bombing brown people?
why does the rest of the world hate us?
why did they hate hitler? We didn't know at the time what he was doing to jews, sure we knew later, but not when we went to war.
It is easy after the fact to point and say "see, we were right", but right now, we have no idea how many people over there "we" have killed.. Muslems know, that is why they hate us, and they will fight us to the last man because of it.
That is the nazi-germany 1945 I am talking about, not Hitler as a specific person, just the system of government ("papers please?" - gun toting guard)
nameprotect does something similar, except they are looking for people violating copyrights. in addition I think they might be one of the most banned bots online.
anyway, their users are all corporate entities who pay a lot of money to be able to auto-cease and desist copyright infringers..
These same companies will pay IBM to tell them that since their cease and desist spree everyone hates them.
reading through the posts all I see are "dot-com bubble this.." and "dot-com bubble that"..
dude.. face it, there never was a "bubble" it was called "you got screwed over by some savy businessmen who have now moved on" and sitting around lamenting that fact is just plain sad.
The real businesses that had actual products made it through that time and the guys who didn't, are gone and in my eye "good riddance to them"
The next "bubble" that you guys are going to sit around and babble about for years will be wifi and all the wireless products that are being sold like crazy now.
Business has not changed since it started.. the premise is simple.. I have something you want, you give me something I want, we swap. Money just happens to be a symbol, it is still barter and trade just with symbols.
Take that idea and look at your "bubble" and figure out why your company didn't make it.
I stayed at the same salary and even increased my salary throughout this time you guys are complaining about because I helped build an online company that is solid an sells products and services there is a need for.
(sorry about this rant but I am so sick of these dotcommers who were once working at a fast food joint until some place in SF decided to pay them 80k/year to have a title with the word "guru" in it and now they are complaining about not having those jobs again and can't get over it..)
I worked with a guy who put $10 out of each paycheck for his headstone, he wanted to have an IRC server from it and part of the money went to keep his namesake domain name renewed for a hundred years. THe town is wired with fiber so the IRC server from his headstone would be on a t3 for the next hundred years..
I thought it was a great idea..
Of course.. twenty years ago if you said "IRC server" 99% of the population would have said "huh"..
sort of makes you wonder what the relationship is between science and beer with the amount of research that has gone into beer.
I mean.. how many articles have been on slashdot about "scientists discover why bubbles in beer go up/down/sideways in space/a vacuum/on the moon" etc etc.. Seems like hundreds over the years..
I am not complaining.. I mean, I sit there and look into my beer and wonder about the bubbles sometimes.. just wondering who is paying for this research?
the problem here is spammers setting up "surf-farms" (think Alexa and all those Asian pages that display as the 'top' sites) that simply surf and mark/index pages that are competition low and mark their pages high..
And Alexa has been spammed to hell for a long time, if google did that we will all end up using directories like yahoo again..
This is a quote from a posting online about X that sums up a lot... I just remembered Harry Larry's own description of installing X, which he recorded on his Wiki site. Mergingthe packages he mentions to mine, this becomes the list of rpms needed to install X:
As I stated before, it would be nice to remove perl, but it's used in the source code for XFree86-4.1.0, & ends up getting added with the network package.
Chkfontpath is a small & odd package. According to RH's documentation, it does about the same thing the kpathsea libraries do (which help manage font files), & end up being installed anyway if the user works with LaTeX, postscript, or dvi files. Since it's only half a MB, we can ignore it.
Xaw3d, freetype & Mesa are another cases entirely. Since we're agreed on Mesa, let me focus on the first two. Yes, Xaw3d & freetype improve the look of any GUI, but RH requires freetype to be installed, & doesn't complain if we forget XFree86-*-fonts; Xaw3d is also required, even though one could make do with the default Athena look -- or do as I do, & substitute the NeXtaw toolkit. (Which is being maintained.)
After this point, this is what Xconfigurator requires:
umm.. no.. The reason the push developers away is that many of these guys are trying to bloat xfree to hell.. if they didn't it would be 20x worse than windows..

yea.. I think I would have been okay..
that stock now is basically in free-fall
if SCO's stock was going up at all I would be buying shorts.. i.e. dump everything into SCO short sells and watch my profits soar on their loss..
just an idea..

personally I like it free...
how to be a script-kiddie in two hours!!
or script-kiddie for dummies..
haha
it is just like stock art, this is a "stock sound' that can be used...
Why is this news again?
sort of makes you wonder what the relationship is between science and beer with the amount of research that has gone into beer.

anything by him..
author of "Perdido street station"..
"unnamed source" usually means "leak"
thus
SCO leaked this to the press..
the problem here is spammers setting up "surf-farms" (think Alexa and all those Asian pages that display as the 'top' sites) that simply surf and mark/index pages that are competition low and mark their pages high..
And Alexa has been spammed to hell for a long time, if google did that we will all end up using directories like yahoo again..
ten years later..
:)
the gentoo forums..
probably the best place to find a fanatical how-to on anything..
by fanatics, for fanatics
(we are all a little fanatical here)
This is a quote from a posting online about X that sums up a lot...
o ntpath
e e86-compat-modules (from disk2)
I just remembered Harry Larry's own description of installing X, which he
recorded on his Wiki site. Mergingthe packages he mentions to mine, this
becomes the list of rpms needed to install X:
perl
freetype
XFree86-libs
XFree86-xfs
chkf
XFree86-75dpi-fonts
Xaw3d
Mesa
As I stated before, it would be nice to remove perl, but it's used in the
source code for XFree86-4.1.0, & ends up getting added with the network
package.
Chkfontpath is a small & odd package. According to RH's documentation, it
does about the same thing the kpathsea libraries do (which help manage

After this point, this is what Xconfigurator requires:
gtk+
libjpeg
libpng
libtiff
gdk-pixbuf
XFr
XFree86-SVGA (from disk2)
A lot of packages for a progam most users will only see two or three times,
neh?
umm..
no.. The reason the push developers away is that many of these guys are trying to bloat xfree to hell.. if they didn't it would be 20x worse than windows..
i don't have time to take back my time....
sheesh.. 12 minutes a day to talk to your wife? I know some guys who would love it if that is all they had to do..
