    Impress!!! to create the presentation :)

  2. i have to say... on William Gibson's Latest Novel · · Score: 2, Interesting

    the excerpt from the book, didn't give me enuff motivation to actually go and buy the book.

    maybe one day it will be on gutenberg, and i will read it ;)

    But don't take my word for it, cause i am no expert in litrature. Maybe you will love the book.....

  3. Re:kurt cobain's diary on 1660 Diary Becomes 2003 Weblog · · Score: 1

    I think a agreement with the copyright holders can be reached, with little effort. maybe they can benefit from the advertisement revenues as well.

  4. kurt cobain's diary on 1660 Diary Becomes 2003 Weblog · · Score: 1, Informative

    i was hoping somebody would make a weblog out of kurt cobain's diaries... BTW you can buy his diaries at Barnes and Nobles. Pretty interesting, with all the sketches.

  5. Re:i would rather be a sysadmin... on Life in the Trenches: a Sysadmin Speaks · · Score: 2

    oh i forgot to mention, in my last post:....

    Being a dedicated sys admin is like being a hobo, and thus the saying: "I maybe a hobo (sys admin), but you are a nobo (users)..."

  6. problem solving skills? on Life in the Trenches: a Sysadmin Speaks · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I didn't see the "problem solving skills" as a requirement for being a sys admin, mentioned anywhere in the article.

    I think problem solving skill are a must for the sys admin job, especially if you don't want to be a Jr. Sys Admin and perform backups all your life.

    I worked for a relatively large institution, in the capacity of a Sys Admin, and I know for a fact that you need some serious problem solving skills.

    then be a system.... As heard on simpsons: "I maybe a hobo, but you are a nobo..."

  8. Re:for my PhD... on Success Despite College Rejection · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I personally think, that it is better if one gets some industry experience (2-3 years) after their undergraduate, before getting into any graduate program. If you have currently working in a industry, graduate schools look at your work experience, and not much at your Bachlors degree. Atleast that is the case for the technical/engineering program, I don't know about other fields.

  9. for my PhD... on Success Despite College Rejection · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I would go to the best college, that I can afford to go to. I dont think UnderGraduate studies matter that much. It is for the higher degrees that you need to go to the prestigeous institutions....

  10. this could lead to law suits.... on Medical Briefcase For In-Flight Patient Evaluation · · Score: 1

    against arilines, if the system fails, and the person dies.

    Which in turn mean more money for the lawyers. and who want that to happen (except the lawyers).....

  11. now they can... on Powerline Broadband in Hong Kong · · Score: 2

    fry your computer at will.....

  12. importance of education on Are Blogging and Unemployment Related? · · Score: 1, Troll

    I personally think education is important. Having a BS degree in Computer Science or atleast CIS, should be made pre-requisite for all IT related jobs. Real Jobs require problem solving skills, and the only way to get these skills is to attend a proper university. If you wanna spend all your life performing backups, than I think you can live without proper education.
    This is what happened in the DOT COM bust. Lots of unqualified people, without any problem solving skills and proper education got hired, and that pushed the companies down the drain.

    i think so.....

  14. EA vs Disney on EA As The Next Disney · · Score: 2, Interesting

    games vs movies. i think with the level of complexity and advancement in games and gaming technology, i have to say sale of games will exceed the sale of disney movies....

    reading through GNU and GNU FDL "license text" gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling :)

  16. Re:steel mouse pad looks nice on Hardware Bits · · Score: 2

    that is very true. However in Arizona the cold mouse pads actually felt good, specially during summers when the: day temp = night temp = 115 F :)

  17. steel mouse pad looks nice on Hardware Bits · · Score: 3, Interesting

    would make a nice holiday present. it reminds of those old grid lined steel mouse pads that were shipped with Sun Sparc and Ultras. I think Sparc were shipped with a digital mouse, and so were SGI machines. I had a Sparc 20 and 10.

  18. this is how i crashed mySQL server on Remote hole, DoS in MySQL · · Score: 2

    I was writing a complex WHERE clause with multiple ANDs and ORs and I forgot to put the parentheses around OR statements, and that crashed the whole mysqld. If anyone wants to see the query, let me know. Worked fine after I added the parentheses.

  20. Try Compaq M700 on Laptops that Boot From External Drives? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I use Compaq M700 for this purpose. It supports swapable drives, plus booting from secondary HD, which can placed in the CD ROM bay. M700 works out very nicely. I even bought a M700 for home, so now I just need to take the HD with me, and not lug the whole laptop with me.

    I would suggest that you use Wiki (we use wiki for a similar purpose) or use a simple Weblog like b2 cafelog.

    actually reliability of the company must be considered first. what good is a high-end technology, if it will last due to monetary problems.
