2. Competition among private services gives private companies an incentive to provide the best possible service at the lowest price. Because there is only one provider for a public service (and no competing providers are permitted to exist), there is no incentive for public services to provide the best service or the cheapest service. This view is a bit simplistic. Investors demand that private companies deliver maximum profits. In health care, this is attained in 2 ways
1) Minimize costs (sometimes by unscrupulous means)
2) Attract more patients to increase revenue.
This combination provides public companies incentive to appear as though the best service is prvided, without actually doing so. The only people corporations care about are the shareholders.

Agreed.
Pull up your f'ing pants and go work hard. If you really are that good, and are driven enough to be able to convincingly sell yourself, you'll have no problems.
If you're a developer, go join and open source project, and market it to corporate customers. Good canidates are Nagios, Bogofilter, ClamAV. Corporate customers pay big bucks for integration and development services on projects like these. And the $$ is all services - all yours. You just have to sell it.
And guess what? India IS better than us, as far as I can tell. Whenever I have to call Cisco, I wait until midnight, just so I can make sure I get an Indian or Indonisian instead of some San ho 9-5 slacker. BECAUSE THEY DO BETTER WORK THAN WE DO, AND COST LESS.
You either missed to point, or didn't read the article.
A commodity is roughly defined in the article as something for which there is broad demand. The interesting part comes with the networked interchange of the commodity. The analogy holds equally well for sugar and software.

The job market is still tough regardless of whether you're ccie certified or not. We're all making a lot less money than we were a few years ago.
Essentially, I would recommend friends in high places over advanced certifications any day. Nothing beats a good relationship with a well-employed person in power. Nothing beats soft skills... Customer service and I-am-not-an-arrogant-fuck are more important these days than tech-ninja.

You're wrong. The stock price DOES reflect the value of a company in dollars. If I have something worth 10 cents, but I can find somebody to buy it for 10 dollars... My something is worth 10 dollars. That's efficient market theory. That's capitalism.
bogofilter does a wonderful job of plugging into Evolution via the filters. You can match any header string in the inbound email and pipe the mail through bogofilter. A later filter takes anything labeled as spam, and sends it to the spam folder. I catch 90-95% of my spam that way. and I have NEVER had a false positive.
Here are the resources I use for the networking space:
Perlman - Interconnections
Stevens - TCP/IP Illustrated Vol1
Halabi - Internet Routing Architectures - The finest BGPv4 resource in the world. The answer to your BGP problem is in there somewhere.

I'm an ISP Network engineer with plenty of experience troubleshooting and preventing DOS attacks. If you're not working with the ISP, you have no hope of defending against these, because the attacker is gunning for your bandwidth, not your system. No sane ISP will filter on random protocol numbers because of the resources (router horses and nerd eyeballs) involved. The only proven defense I've seen is to monitor bandwidth usage with mrtg and get the ISP involved kwik. Here is a IOS example that will save you from the dreaded 11 attack. (although you have to detect the attack first: the hard part)

I recently discoverd that I can use nohup to start a lengthy process from a remote ssh session, hang up, and check on it later. for example...
nohup emerge sync &
( or nohup make && make install & )
tail -f nohup.out
exit
This is the coolest thing in the world, because I can logout, the process keeps running, and I can check on the progress later from another location.
This is probably no suprise to the graybeards out there, but is sparkly to a n00b like me.
