    Sure, it's easy to say those darn kids are getting dumber, especially when you feel threatened by their intelligence.

    I do PXE install, but i use the mounted iso on my own machine as the source. It's much faster, but your way doesn't require as much patching.
    Love PXE installs.

    Yeah, back then they used to wrap them around their waist, unfortunately all the interbreeding with small peni'ed Neanderthal has left us with the 10 inches we have today. (Doesn't everyone else have 10 inches?)

    It's like I took one of your books and stuck post-its on every page saying "your too ugly", "you smell bad", "you need bigger boobs", "that stuff your eating is crap", etc...

    Sounds like a pretty good return on investment to me. You should easily be able to service a $100k student loan debt on a low six figure salary. That residency pay may look low to Doc's, but it is a high starting wage for many professions. The time commitment may be high, but the money still rolls in for docs. It took me almost 8 years to break $40k with an AS.

    You sound white, well-educated, and from a relatively privileged background.
    Has anyone ever crossed the street when they see you walking? Do you elicit nervous glances when you are waiting at the bus stop? Have you ever taken a bus or some form of public transportation? Have you ever been in court or been arrested? Have you ever been threatened with bogus charges by a police officer who thinks you are being disrespectful?

  16. Re:Pleading guilty compulsary on US Attorney General Defends Handling of Aaron Swartz Case · · Score: 1

    If you kill someone they know you are serious. Mandatory death penalty or life in prison endangers the cops because there is no way you are going peacefully. They know that you can and will lash out when you get the chance and they only hear one side of the story since the deceased isn't talking, so you probably getting sympathy from some part of society.

    If your just some schmuck who is falsely accused or committed some minor crime they can smack you around and call you Charlie. You are't going to do anything about it. You will do your time, pay your fines, get evicted, live in poverty, and try to stay out of their way.

    Property rights do not apply exclusively to people. Is a trust a person? Your arguments are facetious and intended to mislead. The rights you say will be missing are afforded to the people in the corporation, not the corporate entity.

    I disagree, there is some overlap, databases admins are probably more akin to programers as are web admins, but networking and server management are closer to each other and further from programming and web administration tasks. Few people are good at all of these things.

    You alluded to a big part of the problem earlier. If I have worked on Xiotech SAN's and rolled my own Linux SAN's that implies I know all about iscsi and fibre-channel. It also implies I should be able to work with just about any SAN with a short learning curve. Companies today don't want that short learning curve. They will spend an extra month sifting resumes to find that "perfect fit"
    often when the "perfect fit" shows up they find out they were lied to or they end up with a person who knows how to push buttons a, b, and c but doesn't know what happens if you push a and b while skipping c.
    But the companies are shortsighted and they don't see that candidate A's vast swath of experience indicates a true passion for learning while candidate B's focused skillset indicates a recruiter who molding the resume to be exactly what the client wants.
