I am so sick of leftist socialist propaganda on/. taken as fact.
I wonder how many leftists will actually try to dispute your list with FACTS, rather than that same tired mud-slinging bullshit that drips from their mouths.
Nice work.

You are an idiot.
There is no IDE that comes even close to Visual Studio.NET.
Went to the Fry's grand opening, got the Linksys 802.11G/B Router and the G card for my laptop. Setting it up today, so how about some advice from those of you familiar with this stuff?
I did set the MAC address filter and I'm using WEP and planing to PPTP into my other firewall in front of my home network, instead of putting the Linksys behind my firewall. Any advice would be welcome.
I USED to work for Microsoft, and I know for a fact that even with all the security problems, a Windows network CAN be secured against most attacks with prompt patching and a decent set of policies that everyone, including CEOs must adhere to. Now that I am consulting, I get those promises in writing before I agree to do ANYTHING for a corporation. That way, when they break those policies, (and they all do) they will pay me huge dollars to repair their networks. Those that wont agree to my terms, can hire some idiot, and have to deal with my taunts and HIGHER rates, when they have to call me back later.
The most profitable business for good Windows consultants is cleaning up the messes of the bad Windows consultants. That is the business I am in.
BTW, I let my MCSE lapse because it was embarassing.
So did I.
I probably should have waited a day before my post, because I was very pissed from all the fixes I had to do today fixing idiot admins' broken networks.
I agree with everything you said, but it took a few beers and some sleep to admit it. Cheers.
I get called in after a company has fucked up a Network beyond the point of no return, only to have them bitch at me after I tell them the list of things that will NOT be recovered.
Take a company like JetBlue. 100% Windows-based airline. They never have a problem, because their people know what they are doing. There are thousands of other companies with good people, but even more that are just lucky, and on the road to disaster.
It should be written into every IT person's job offer, that if the Windows network brings down a company because of a virus, they can expect immediate termination.
This virus is the result of companies putting idiots in charge of setting up and administering Windows-based networks. There are so many Windows-based organizations, that only a small percentage of idiot admins will create enough insecure systems for a virus to do damage large enough to get noticed.
The fact is, there is no 'secure' operating system, but there are enough things that can be done to prevent virus infections that any large company stricken by this virus should fire their IT staff TODAY.
What company does NOT demand auto updating anti-virus software on every system connecting to their corporate network? What company does not have a person in charge of installing MS patches within 24-48 hours of their availability? Dont give me that crap about being afraid of the patches, because if they damage your network, you can blame Microsoft and save your fucking job.
Viruses are a reality for Windows networks, and companies without policies and recovery plans to deal with them should fire their staffs and get competent people in place. Businesses need to understand that competancy costs MONEY, so if your IT people are paid dirt wages, your network is a sitting duck, trust me. Can your MCSE who cant tell you what circular logging does on an Exchange installation. Fire the fool who told you to build trusts between multiple AD forests, I dont care how reasonable his explaination was. I see this shit every day, because 80% of Windows admins suck monkey dick. Microsoft is on their 3rd round of creating a certification program. Maybe they should consider taking the aftermarket PROFIT out of it, and stop caring about pass/fail rates long enough to get a core group of people who know what the fuck they are doing?
There is no excuse for this shit anymore. A virus attack on a company running Windows these days should mean an instant termination of the staff that let it happen.
you can usually convince one (preferably younger, attractive members) of the secretarial pool to go pantless with you for an hour or two.
Yeah, but when she sobers up, and remembers that she hates your ass, the next morning she is crying in HR about how you date raped her ass; how she would NEVER take it up the ass were she sober, and that your ass should be fired. And YOU WILL BE.
Oh man, I can see it now; Every geek who wants to go without a tie or does not want to wear shoes, or who thinks that washing their ass should be optional, is going to extrapolate shit like this into claims of a hazardous workplace environment.
"Shoes are bad for my back, and for that matter, my toes need to BREATHE"
"Deodorant is toxic poison, you cant make me use it, and you cant fire me for what occurs natually in nature; I KNOW MY RIGHTS!!!!"
Oh, I'm a jackass because I want to save enough to get out of this industry? Fuck you, loser. You sound like some kind of class-envy, liberal, punk-ass fool too stupid to understand that anyone can and should save money regardless of their salary.
If you can be idiot enough to wish for someone to steal my property, then I hope you lose whatever job you have and have to move back in with your obviously drunk or stupid parents, who taught you nothing. Asshole.
Right now, I am getting by on about $90, but I am always looking for more ways to cut expenses. Were I not managing a team of developers, I would telecommute myself. I'm trying to put enough money into investments that I can be out of the Software industry in 2 years. If you have a suggestion on how I can milk another 20K, I'm all ears.
You can get positive cash flow if your down is big enough to keep your payments low. Especially on nicer areas on the east side. Impossible in SFO, but further down, and on the east side, you can do it.
Actually, I am counting on loan defaults to increase. That way, I can pick up some forclosures on the cheap. Its Machievellian, but hey, life is a bitch.
There is not a mutual fund on Earth that can get me the returns like a flipped fixer-upper in 30 days. The economy is getting better, just in time for me to get out of Technology, and start using MONEY to make money instead of.NET.
I can see how you might think that the way I am living hurts the economy, but you would be wrong. The more available capitol in my bank allows them to make more loans and at lower interest rates. This is money beyond what some service industry worker would effect the overall economy. The economy is not about distribution of money, but about economic activity. Few mall workers and mechanics have any effect on the economy unless they are borrowing money for big-ticket items.
If you gave up some of those lunches, and stayed away from Fry's, in a couple of years, you could put money down on either a Viper or a house, dude. Think about it. I used to be at Nola's every fucking day, until Baha Fresh opened up. 10 dollars a day minimum for lunch, but usually 15-20. Add that up. Yeah it sucks bringing lunch from home, but it feels great to have investment income. Money for nothing, and if the wife pisses me off, chicks for free.
Why would anyone want to live elsewhere? I'm getting into Real Estate. There is no better market than the Valley. You can make money both buying and selling. If you cant sell, you can make positive cash flow on rentals.

very funny.
I was only going to open ports 1723 and 6. What else should be open?

Really? Why dont you give me your IP address, and we shall just see about that?
Kill the paper MCSEs. Shoot them in their heads.

Yes they were, you should be fired.

Of course, but that wont stop my lawsuit, bucko!
Yeah, but when she sobers up, and remembers that she hates your ass, the next morning she is crying in HR about how you date raped her ass; how she would NEVER take it up the ass were she sober, and that your ass should be fired. And YOU WILL BE.
From an actual true story; I shit you not.
"Shoes are bad for my back, and for that matter, my toes need to BREATHE"
"Deodorant is toxic poison, you cant make me use it, and you cant fire me for what occurs natually in nature; I KNOW MY RIGHTS!!!!"
"Did you take my red stapler, asshole?"
Yep, this is great news.
If you can be idiot enough to wish for someone to steal my property, then I hope you lose whatever job you have and have to move back in with your obviously drunk or stupid parents, who taught you nothing. Asshole.
LOL! Another Al Gore voter speaks!

I do use a press, but the coffee is still pretty gross by mid-afternoon. By that time, I'm just looking for the boost. Taste be dammed.
As to your second question; No.
You can get positive cash flow if your down is big enough to keep your payments low. Especially on nicer areas on the east side. Impossible in SFO, but further down, and on the east side, you can do it.
