Mark me as flamebait if you like, but this was started by the Internet Association, so chances are they probably have a pretty good idea on what they are doing. They would have buy in from their staff to be able to get this one through, their staff are probably sick of having to deal with all the SPAM complaints and everything else from these hosts. They probably have an even better idea on what they are doing to their network than what you do.
Typically for a lot of countries they won't allow you to dock with weapons, but they will allow you into port but you have to declare them and hand them over. As long as you are a peaceful vessel, you are fine. When you get contacted by Border Patrol / Immigration / Coast Guard they will ask you if you have any weapons, before you ask, this would typically be on the radio BEFORE they come aboard:-) you hand them over, they give you a receipt, you come into port, do what you want, and as you are leaving the border they come meet you, give them your receipt, they hand over your weapons, and everyone is happy.
This is their smallest subset of.NET. They are already pretty much giving the code away to developers for Windows Mobile, now they are having their arses handed to them by Android and it's only looking worse. They keep going at this rate and they are going to be irrelevant. That's not what they want. So therefore they open source.NET in the hope that they can get some more traction in the market.
Lets just a quick "Lets get the facts straight campaign":
A 2003 license is $429.99 US ex tax (Euro pricing, I am sure that the US is cheaper) and that includes 5 CALs. Datacentre runs well and truly above your $3,000 figure, try doubling it if you want Hyper-V.
A 2008 CAL is about $30, but it's not just that you are probably going to want, it's sharepoint and everything else. So really, you just haven't done any research.
Lets run with your understanding about using Linux to connect to Windows, it's wrong.
If you aren't using their software, why would you have to pay for a Client Access License? I am sure you could make a donation to the Samba Foundation, and I am sure that they would appreciate it. Aside from that though, why would the protocols need a license? They have publicly posted the protocols, they got forced to by the EU as part of their anti-trust investigation. This was part of their settlement. They have also posted the protocols for Exchange and a number of other protocols; they had to.
Really, this is the whole point of Jeremy Allison going tot he EU hearings and testifying and everything else, to MAKE Microsoft go through the interoperate with everyone else. Take a look here: http://www.samba.org/samba/PFIF/PFIF_history.html

In all honesty my experience as a whole with recruiters is that they are a lower life form than bad lawyers. I know that sounds harsh, but all they are after is a fast buck. Once you know how the game is played, play them. As someone previously said, in the UK and in much of Europe (And unless you are paying their bills, I would suggest the US) it's the employers who are their "client" and you don't count. I do however have some recruiters who I know personally and are great people who I recommend to other people because they actually do give a shit. That's rare and I always pass business to these people when I can.
If that's what he is doing to your resume, my opinion is to call him a *$%" and say that you never want to deal with him again and that he will never make any money out of you, ever. You don't know what he is saying behind your back, and if someone calls you directly, talk to them. You have no allegiance or loyalty to someone who is effectively professionally misrepresenting you. If someone did this to me, I would be *highly* pissed off.
The best part is that you will get to a position, be it project management or regular management etc where you can make this threat real. I have done it previously and it's soooo rewarding. Recruiter: "I think we just got cut off." Me: "No I hung up on you, you called me a year ago about a position and you tried to rip me off. I said I don't want anything to do with you and I still don't. Yes, I am looking for people at the moment, but I am not putting any money your way. You burnt your bridges with me" *beep beep beep*
I know all this sounds really harsh, but it's a sad truth that I faced a while ago when dealing with these people, understand that a lot of them don't care. You also have to follow these people up EVERY day, be on them like a rat in a trap.
As an aside, make sure you brush up on your interview technique, even if it means paying someone to help you with this. As a previous poster pointed out, brush up your resume, make it readable and relevant, customise it to every position you go for. Read the job description and modify as necessary then send that to the recruiter to pass on. You probably have 101 skills that aren't relevant to the position. Leave a few in, strip the rest out.
The reason I haven't rolled out IPv6 comes down to 3 factors:
Cost: It's going to cost me money for upgrades on firewalls, pay the staff to do the upgrades etc etc.
Upgraded hardware doesn't exist: I can't switch IPv6 in hardware, we have a low latency environment, the moment I start pushing around IPv6 it leaves hardware and goes to the CPU. You show me one vendor who is doing IPv6 in hardware and I'll show you someone who'll consider upgrading.
No business benefit: I lose nothing but not upgrading. I get nothing by upgrading.

Actually, I have to say that I love techno music as do a number of the people that work with / for me (All IT guys / girls) it just happens that's what was coming out when I was growing up, and I love it. I keep a set of decks at home for doing occasional mixes myself. It's easy to stereotype I know, but as another posted put up here, look at anyone in their mid thirties in and early forties in the UK; and a good section of mainland Europe for that matter, and ask them if they had been out to a rave, you will usually get a response of yes. It just comes with the territory. I have heard some of the best techno around recently, it's still evolving.
I say that sitting here listening to System Of A Down, so my music tastes are varied....
Seconded, I am doing something myself at the moment, and I was like this. I have written myself a plan, and I am giving myself deadlines of when I have to get things done. After that I take a break for a couple of days.
Might I suggest running something from a USB stick, or finding a way around the restriction? Otherwise a strange venereal disease should get you away from IE.
They order patch cables from some commercial patch cable vendor for every run, riiiiiiiight.
Actually, if you have a look at Lucent installs and the like, you aren't far off. From the switch to the intermediate frame, they do actually use premade cables and then terminate to length as doing the Lucent terminations is just too damn hard.
If the installers are in a hurry, they will make up the cable bundles at another site, bring them in and then just punch the biscuit onto them.
I have seen guys turn up with end to end bundles and frames so that they don't have to do anything onsite; just drop them into the floor and screw the patch panels onto the frames.
So although your comment is flippant, depending on the cabling contractor, it's quite plausible.
I buy cables because I would go through 5 - 10 cables a day and by the time I made them, tested them, labelled them, I could be doing 101 other things.
It's not to say that you can't do it, you can. It's just a matter that the amount of time you spend doing it just makes it a hell of a lot cheaper in the long run to buy them.
This is ESPECIALLY true when dealing with CAT7 or STP. On a 20Mb line (Probably a 100Mb link) the chances of having a problem though are pretty low provided you terminate it cleanly.
"integrated in a meaningful way" isn't particularly meaningful, except in a market-buzzword sense. Care to cite concrete examples of how integration improves throughput in BIG-IP products?
How about FTFA:
"Chaining proxies incurs latency at every point in the process. If you chain proxies, you are going to incur latency in the form of:
* TCP connection setup and teardown processing
* Inspection of application data (layer 7 inspection is rarely computationally inexpensive)
* Execution of functionality (caching, security, acceleration, etc...)
* Transfer of data between proxies (when deployed on the same device this is minimized)
* Multiple log files "
Simply, going from kernel memory to user memory doing the work, back to kernel memory (For the IP stack), back to user memory, back to kernel memory, back to kernel memory (Hang on, where was I?) That's right, I was running around all over the place causing latency, lets not forget that writing IO takes CPU time, as the article stated TCP connection setup and tear down and everything else, and it's going to add latency and thus decrease the bandwidth capability of the box.
It doesn't mention what you are doing now, but I would try staying within the same vertical.
You might be (Equal to) a junior coder, but you still have X years experience in that industry, and that still counts for something, even if you are doing sales or whatever else, and now you are programming in that field, that gives you a lot of business experience that others don't have and that will count for something. Try to find out about your potential job role, you might just get an advisory role to begin with, and work your way up as you develop different systems until you prove yourself.
I wouldn't say don't do it, it's going to suck being at the bottom again, but if you can get the right job, then it could work out.
That seemed to be a claim, but that's not actually correct. The configs WERE written to flash, but if you did a password recovery on the device, the configs were wiped. This was to prevent someone getting access to usernames and passwords stored in the flash in case the equipment was stolen from an office.
The HP Procurve switches had something called "Mesh mode" which allowed you to have and to utilise multiple uplinks. So if you had 2 x 1 Gb uplinks, then you could use both of them. If you had STP protocol turned on you would have one online and one offline. It's for this reason that Cisco now does PVST or Per VLAN Spanning Tree. This allows you to utilise both uplinks, and just use a different uplink for a different VLAN.
It might come under "News for nerds" but "Stuff that matters" it doesn't count for. How about "Stuff that happens"?
Really, it wouldn't make it any better of Steve Jobs, Steve Ballmer, Larry Ellison or even Linus wrote it. Everyone knows it's crap, can't we just move on?

They must have been testing this around my place, my back yard is glowing blue.

I don't think that's actually true.
I think this solves their complaint, this means that the code is being left with the end user, and is not being distributed by them.
Hmm, should have re-read that for spelling and grammer, but oh well, I was in a hurry.

The "Turn off menu animations" policy does not work as designed. This fix removes the policy interface from the console.
This one was great (it still runs through my mind to this day). Credit to Greg Reese for picking this one up.
Now, this would be the only time I have seen them do this, but it's still funny nevertheless.
