    ...and now we can help them, and in result, ourselves and the rest of the world, research more sources of power. After all, we need to get rid of our dependancy on oil.

    I see your point, and it is valid, but I disagree.
    If positions were reversed, I wouldn't want them here.

    The past is the past. It's a new generation of people. I doubt that Japan still wants to take over the hemisphere.

    Yep. Just today I booted up linux, and started X-Windows, which of course is made by Microsuck, right???

    Windows is a generic term for a type of GUI. Just because they claimed it doesn't mean they can change the english language.

    "let them"?

    When did we become their mommy and daddy?
    It's science, and something like this would undoubtabley be monitored and studied world-wide. They can't exactly just sneak around with it, and vaporize L.A.

    If we were doing this, you wouldn't want Japan contimplating "letting us".

    Use poopy name, get sued, settle out of court, change to better name, use court publicity to sell product....

    Sounds like a great plan to me :)

    My advice: fina library with one, for I once thought the same, but many libraries have a copy, for referance. Unconveinent maybe, but it's there, and for the public. Better than nothing, I suppose :)

    Actually, I'd like to see the answer to that exact question, lol. I can't get it to work... :) I think my modem is just F**ked on the IRC and COM settings though.. AND YES IT IS A HARDWARE MODEM... :) Everyone always asks.. lol

  8. Re:Too smart? on Making Linux Look Harder Than It Is · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Arragont is right. A friend told me when I first started out all the complicated stuff, and to his credit, he did help a lot, but the problem lies in that most hard-core linuxers that "elmer" in a new user are used to the high-level termonolgy, while I am not. This is causes a bit of a language barrier.

    It's not usually intentional, but there.

    I agree. Any problem that can be solved without government involvement should be solved that way if possible.

    I don't think it's such a horrible reaction, since a terrorist crash would likely indicate more to follow. A mechanical failure only affects one plane.

    Either is a horrible event, but there is the lesser of the two evils.

  14. Re:A slightly differant question on How Did You Become a UNIX Administrator? · · Score: 1

    Did I not say I was in college, Mr. Coward? Oh, I suppose that might be why you didn't log in... As for holding out, or keeping my job, I meant more or less that if there's no jobs out there by the time I get there, perhaps I should have a non-tech job to fall back on... hell, teaching jobs usually are pretty easy to get a hold of, depending on your location, or at least I've heard... I don't really like teaching, but it'd be a paycheck if I couldn't get a IT job, even if it's just temporary.

  15. A slightly differant question on How Did You Become a UNIX Administrator? · · Score: 1

    Let me start with some info first:

    I'm 18, in the Detroit Area.
    I have a basic - moderate knowledge of linux
    I'm currently attending a community college

    How do I get from stocking shelves at a local
    grocery store to making a decent living in a IT job? I mean, I have no real background that I can put on a resume... "played around with Red Hat Linux 7.2 until I could move around the files, and write textfiles"

    Another question: I've been hearing a lot about the job market in IT going down... will there be a job open for me when I get there, or should I start looking for a back-up career?

    I wouldn't go that far (And I am American), but there is a reason that the constition allows "the right of states to bear arms"... in other words a milita...

    Of course now it's called the National Guard, the very name of which is against the State bearing arms theory. The moment some one starts a real militia, the get looked at as radicals and extremists, when they're really just holding up their end of democracy and the constitution.

    Don't take the guns away from murderers, take the desire to kill away, and they won't use the guns illegally.
