  1. try before you buy... on OS Projects and Your Resume? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    put it in there! for employers, this is a further chance to "try before you buy" - they get to see some projects that you've worked on, rathern than just hear about them. I contribute to several projects, and have details of these on my CV. At every single interview, without exception, I have been asked more details about the Open Source projects that I work on. All have been intrigued to learn more. At the end of the day, it is something that will make you well remembered and stick in an employers mind, which is going to make it much more likely that you will get an interview, or the job.

  2. ever heard of a firewall? on When Will The Next Slammer Strike? · · Score: 1

    surely slammer only affected those with incorrectly configured (or non existant) firewalls? AFAIK, slammer has no super intelligent syn/ack mechanisms, so it should have been rejected by most firewalls.

  3. RADAR was invented by the brits! on Tuxedo Park · · Score: 2, Interesting

    we invented RADAR! in Cambridge. I only know this because my girlfriends great grandfather worked on the project. He was also a lecturer at Cambridge University.
