The IBM Academic Initiative and Red Hat Academy plan to collaborate closely with teachers to build Linux skills and develop curriculum that will better help students prepare and compete for I.T. jobs.
Use the same tactics as the Phishers to dupe your fellow employees to use Firefox:
1. Remove the IE shortcut from the desktop
2. Add a Firefox shortcut to the desktop
3. Rename said shortcut "Internet Explorer"
4. Change icon of said shortcut to the blue "E"
5. Download and install a Firefox theme which emulates the look and feel of IE.
And there you have it! You have adapted the malicious tactics of Phishers to keep your people safe from Phishers.
Why is it necessary to "improve" old works of art at all? Can't we just appreciate the original? Trying to bring it up to "our standards" is selfish and disrespectful to the original artist(s).
Sorry, but I think there are a lot of things to be upset about in this country of ours and booth babes are waaaaaaaaaaay down at the bottom of the list.
If you look at how many people are affected in our country (and in others) by women being objectified and marginalized, you may think that the problem behind "booth babes" is more important.
To continue receiving these exorbitant salaries, they need to be more productive than people who are willing to work for less.
Indeed. The US and Europe need to be leaders in R&D to maintain their worth in the new global economy. For instance, the US is still a major agricultural leader because of genetically altered crops, pesticides, and harvesting technology. In the US, a single farmer can work hundreds of acres while growing the same crop in other nations can be much more labor intensive.
Since workers from other nations (China, India) can have the same output (or greater) in tech jobs as Americans and Europeans, it makes sense (according to a free market economy) to hire the workers with the highest efficiency (as measured by output per wage). That is the nature of the global free markey beast.
Perhaps we need some sort of trust, like a credit union for the masses, where the creidt is our very minds.
We could then borrow against the future value of our stored brain-power and thereby raise enough capital to finance this expensive procedure for the masses.
Perhaps more accurately: "Correlation does not necissarily indicate causality."
Certainly an implication of correlation is causality. Often the correlation does in fact indicate the cause. We cannot, however, demonstrate the cause from the correlation. Still, correlations can legitimately point us toward a cause.
Thanks for that word from our sponsors, now back to the show.
Haha, seriously, thanks for the tips.

Just a Phone?

I have always wondered who came up with combining a camera and a phone. It is not a totally ridiculous combination, like say, sub-woofers and a vacuum cleaner. I can see the combination of transmitting visual and audio data through the same device. But still, why combine two items into one shoddy piece of equipment when you can have a two seperate high-quality devices?
At my job we are NOT considering Linux, and probably will not anytime in the foreseeable future.
The same is true at my job. The higher-ups are attracted to the bells and whistles of Exchange Server and the familiarity of MS Windows. We have purchased many thousands of dollars of software which would not move over. Moreover, the loss of productivity to retraint our entire staff (keep in mind that I work at a church) would be devastating.
The fact that I can build a Linux box with totally free software which would cover about 80% of our computation needs is consequently not interesting to them. As a network administrator I do want to switch badly, but it is not feasable. MS has its claws into us too deep.
From what I know about micro-electronics (not much), the pathways would be too small to permit effective use. Something about electrons jumping pathways.
Slashdot Mirror
OK, now that we have a PowerPC chip here, who thinks they can port what to the new XBox 360?
I am totally depressed by my inability to make a Star Trek: The Motion Picture joke.
. . . on a Post-It note on my monitor.
Will the curriculum be "open source" as well?

We do not want any confusion with Alcoholics Anonymous.
. . . but not stirred.

The real winnders of E3 are the hotels, restaurants, cabs, and various other services which profit from this influx of money annually.

Thank God, because I heard that NASA's AAA coverage was not renewed by congress.
It looks like the book "Fooling Fingerprint Scanners for Dummies" is going to be checked out quite a bit more.

...is some cardboard and a soldering iron. Oh yeah and a degree from ITT Tech.
In communist Russia they would have only had one operating system... RED hat! Ok maybe that was too lame.
