a friend of mine graduated with a masters in ee last spring and hasnt been able to find a job yet. from what he tells me, switching to ee might make you even worse off.
i personally wouldnt see anything wrong with keeping the cert on your resume for a short time after it expires, assuming that you actually know the stuff. afterall, a cert is just a piece of paper that says you know something, right? plus, networking technology doesnt seem to change as drastically as a lot of other things in IT. the difference between a network engineer who was certified today vs one that was certified 5 years ago is probably a lot smaller than say... a mcse for nt vs a mcse for w2k. just remember to renew the cert when the market picks up and you have some extra money.
this looks like a trade school curriculum. not that its bad, but lets not forget that trade schools are only meant to train you for a particular job, whereas college trains you to think and solve much broader problems. this is probably why so many of the tech consultants around here who *dont* have cs degrees, quickly become useless when you start talking about things they didnt learn about in a classroom (eg: anything non-microsoft). but i digress.
your curriculum would benefit from courses that arent so platform/technology dependent, such as algorithms, data-structures, and things like that.
actually, the last time america formally declared war was at the start of wwii. i cant seem to find anything to back this up at the moment, but i know it's true.
if i could get their (preferably toll-free) phone numbers, i'd like to set up some sort of an auto-dialer to repeatedly call these "businesses" and play my own pre-recorded messages.
just out of curiousity, what do you think makes people assume that any attacks on sco are from the linux community? to me, its almost as if walmart.com got attacked and everyone blamed the mom-and-pop stores. ridiculous.

a friend of mine has these. i havent tried them yet, but he's been raving about them.
i cant help but wonder who these slashdot readers are that are "new to the SCO/Linux thing."
since you would be both the sender and the reciever, wouldnt you just end up owing yourself money?
/me wonders why the parent is modded as insightful

we have a hub, which doesn't really know about IP as far as I can tell
right, because ip works on layer 3 of the osi model, whereas your hubs work on layers 1 and 2. the layers dont care about eachother.
The online docs do not say HOW to program in PHP.
sure it does: http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.php
this is more than adequate for anyone with a basic knowledge of computer programming.
i wish global warming would hurry up. im getting sick of these new-england winters.

i forgot to invest my life savings in sco, make tons of money, and donate the profits back to the open source community. =)
i dont mean to sound like a troll, but this guy seems to have a lot of facts and figures but no indication of where they came from.

I'm too lazy to change my homepage in Netscape 7 to something else
my only question is why anyone would still be using netscape when mozilla seems to be far superior. or is there something i dont know?
you know, if this wasnt posted on slashdot, i probably wouldnt't have found about about it for a few days. =)
The War is illegal because it was never declared.
actually, the last time america formally declared war was at the start of wwii. i cant seem to find anything to back this up at the moment, but i know it's true.
Freeze up the linux community just long enough and the world will pass them by.
has anyone else noticed even the smallest slowdown in open source development? i haven't. it certainly hasnt been frozen.
if i could get their (preferably toll-free) phone numbers, i'd like to set up some sort of an auto-dialer to repeatedly call these "businesses" and play my own pre-recorded messages.
"want to increase your profit size?!"
"make money now!"
