  1. Logistic DoS attack. on Europe To Force Right of Reply On Internet Communication · · Score: 1

    Is this REALLY practical with the ability to forge a from field in email? God forbid I pretend to be bill@microsoft.com to all his critics causing them to validate hundreds of thousands of email, which aren't ACTUALLY from him.

    so sue me :)

  3. One word, tuition reimbursement on System Administrators - College or Career? · · Score: 1

    I recently had to go through a job change (which is my first since the economic down-turn). I found a lot of the companies I applied requesting college experience. Some even turned me down since I lacked it. The answere is this, college will help you get a job but it will not nessesarilly give you any skill worth using at that job. College comes in to play later in your professional life. Do you want to (one day) progress past the glorious title of System Admin, and possibly manage a crew of your own? College is pretty much expected in that case. Where do you want to go today? Fact: Many companies offer tuition re-imbursement once you're hired. Why not look in to a Junior Admin job, and get some of your Generals done at night? You could possibly finish up a Comp Sci or equiv. program later down the road. Just don't kid yourself, at this very moment it's hard to get in to a decent tech job without 5 years of experience, or a college degree on your resume.

  5. Re:Stores are frauds on To HDTV or Not to HDTV? · · Score: 1

    The thing about HDTV (and any large TV in general) is that you start seeing analogs short comings much more clearly. I was shocked when I got my TV home how grainy it was, but sure enough when i switched my cable tuner to a station that supports DTV (200+ in the greater mpls area) it was clear as a bell. Over all I'm very satisfied. It plays my DVDs like a charm, and really the only thing i find grainy is the news and my precious, precious simpsons.
