  1. Re:More details needed. on Handling Discrimination in the IT Workplace? · · Score: 0

    I was a PT dishwasher once. It was a joke.

    I would come in during the busiest part of
    the night(I was on call you see)and walk in the
    back. The orientals(it was a steakhouse())all
    smiled and said HI, and pointed to a bowl of
    cold rice and some greasy chicken fung strips
    and peppers they had saved for me.

    I would walk over to the old broken down
    crapmatic dishwasher they used and get to
    work on the pile of dishes that was overflowing into the hall.
    About 10:30 in the evening, after the last of
    the cooking utensils were washed, and there was
    no more hot water, I would go out and play
    dollar poker with the nings and hans with my
    share of the tip and drink $0.50 beer.

    I find that network administration is worse
    than that, so I say I have 25 years experience
    and I still don't like prodigal 14 year olds
    who never washed a dish in their lives.

    Did they generate a nice default key for BD users or do they insist you have to gen your own? minorityspeak: I hate ssh. Thank god for deslogin.

    Huh?

  5. Re:Paper on Fast Track to a CS Degree? · · Score: 0

    I would argue that your concept of value is built on notional concepts. The structure you refer to is largely an interpreted approach to the subject. The only way to know whether it will help you is to test it. You know how to test it right?

  6. Re:What about system and network security? on Fast Track to a CS Degree? · · Score: 0

    I always thought that info security was about keeping the network reasonably safe from people who worried about risk management and cost/benefit analysis.

    I really enjoyed your digression into the psyche of the wounded tech geek cum ubermensch. Have you considered a paper on this topic doctor? As it is I'm just glad I don't have to work around you.

  8. Re:IBM makes good stuff. on IBM To Leave The Desktop? · · Score: 1

    You are sooo right on about dell. I support three computer labs of crappy dell stuff. The optiplex gx110{desktop profile case) has a "feature" that causes any movement to a monitor sited upon the chassis, or movement of the chassis itself to potentially jam the floppy load assembly. You have to remove and reseat the case when this happens. A classroom of malicious HS monkeys catch on to stuff like this pretty quickly. Dell desktop support: Those F**ckers. If I ever catch one of those checklist clicking bast**** I will skull**** them to death. As far as performance goes:who cares from where I'm at..if the machines were all 486's I'd be happier.

    I just think of the crappy switching layout and think to myself: Think: set think! [ I am glad I'm drunk because ordinarily a bunch of clustered dual processor equipped machines equivocating on the nearest VC makes me ill, But chemically now, I THINK IT IS PURE ZEN. ]

    Yep up and going in tomorrow. Now lets see.. Kernel 2.2.14 to 2.2.20, antivir for mail, 2.4.4 to 2.4.14 for webserver, glibc globbing sploit to patch for every *nix box :dsrepair and maintenance for the novell farm. It was a fun holiday while it lasted....

  14. Re:Trust us! on FBI, Pentagon Talk to MS about XP Hole · · Score: 1

    It's just security through obscurity again, ad nauseam. It's enough that MS wants to be left alone to do things the MS way. They make no real secret about wanting a ,secure, all MS enabled .net. I'm moderate enough to say that if they would like this then as long as there is no attempt to cut users off from the "public" network and MS pays for the BW and infrastructure it desires then MS users should have their little hidey hole provided by MS. Because, it seems very apparent to me now that MS products are becoming "unsafe at any speed."

  15. Re:Trust us! on FBI, Pentagon Talk to MS about XP Hole · · Score: 1

    "A single, simple flaw..." Another remotely exploitable "feature" I'd call it. Granted nothings perfect, but MS has been incredibly non-perfect recently. When you have a bundled browser that has severe issues with content id and handling, "dumb" users, and this newest krampf, it is really time that ms got spanked.

    If you read the linux journal article you will see that SIS is an early adopter of this idea. Which is interesting considering that my sis 630 chipset equipped mobo doesn't behave well , or at all, with X.
