I don't think you understand what I am trying to say. Let's carry the company analogy further, say the company discovers there is little to no demand for it's products or services, what does it do? Does it just shut up shop until the next time its services might be required or does it diversify into areas which can support it through the tough times.
Having spent some time on the streets I can appreciate the value of a dollar earned, it doesn't matter how it was earned just so long as it was earned. This is what I am trying to say, if you can't get a Sys-Admin job or something else that meets your quals, then either move to an area that can or start looking at other industries.
I know I shouldn't be replying to an Coward but here goes. There is a difference between not being to proud and being completely stupid.
The whole idea of employement is that you get paid for you services, and that you can use that pay to purchase such frivolities as food and shelter. Unpaid Internships are really just an excuse to get as much out of you for nothing. If you want experience at a job or organisation then you apply for the lowly positions, mail-boy or something similar then you work your way up, you don't go to them and say "I'm willing to work full time for you for free for the next three months."
Okay what the hell are you smoking and where can I get some?
Printing, Word Processing, Spreadsheet work, High End Graphics, software development and anything else you can think of are pretty damn easy to set up under Linux and the other OSS OS's. Case in point, my machine - RedHat 8.0 running on a Windows Network with a Novell server with printers attached. Took me all of five minutes to set up my shares and printers as well connect email and everything else.
I'm sorry how is it elitist to want a feature in a software package? It's like saying someone is elitist because they've figured out how to use rules in Outlook, or block cookies in Explorer or Mozilla.
I'm sorry there is another word for that - "Slave Labour". I don't care if it just an internship you are providing a service to the company and as such should be getting paid. Even if it is just minimum wage.
Ansar Al Islam, which included a hundred or more Al Queda people from Afghanistan
Just a quick point to say that Ansar Al Islam's base was actually in Kurdish held territories, you might want to take it up with the Kurds rather than with whatevers left of the Iraqi government.
As to the Israel/Palestine problem? Clinton didn't fuck that one up, the leaders of the Likud party and other like minded nut cases did that one. They were so damned close to finally doing something right and then blam - a complete fuck up.
So tell me you let your child read Penthouse right? Or maybe one of those leather and maces magazines from under the counter?
I hate to tell you this but humans self censor all the time, I do it everytime I refuse to read some right wing nut bags latest crazed ramblings. I also do it when I decide that it is not in my four year old sons best interests to view certain material. I agree that government censorship has the potential and indeed has gone horribly wrong and stupid over the years but saying that there should be no censorship at all is just going against human nature.
I don't know how this got modded flame bait, as it is a valid claim, valid in that the poster has every right to believe that his option is the better one. I for one however reserve my right to disagree.
I did get one offer for sum that is laughable.
Do you know what is a laughable sum? $0.00. Anything else in a time of job shortage is good. Just because you can't get a job being lord high muck doesn't mean you can't move out into other areas, and man if you're on your last bagel you will do anything.
I have done everything from stuffing envelopes to deliviring junk mail(yes I was a snail mail spammer), from working in Pizza Hut to being the only development guy in my organisation. One thing I have learnt is do not be too fucking proud to accept the shit jobs. They may be shit but at least they pay more than sitting on your arse waiting for the magical call from the recruitment agency.
Okay I'll cop it sweet, the bombers were obviously targetting Australians. However I would like to know how introducing Stasi like Security laws is going to stop attacks outside of australian controlled territory.
Okay then prove that Bali was targetted at Australians alone and not at westeners at general. Also last I checked Bali was part of Indonesia not Australia.
The literature that the Government sent out was crap. Basically it said if you see anything out of place in your neighbourhood, call a special Terrorist Hotline. It also let people in on a little secret such as it is now actually a crime to belong to a terrorist organisation.
This anti-terrorist pack was just one plank in the Australian Governments Stupid Security laws. The other plank was a new set of laws that basically said we can hold you for whatever reason we like and we can send you to jail for not knowing what we want you to know. This was to be applied to anyone from ten years old and up.
I'm sorry you seem to have stumbled across a geek site rather than the brain dead "I live in a real fancy trailer hyuck hyuck" site you were looking for.
Funnily enough we are geeks and tech questions, whether they are about the latest and greatest or simple things like whats the best way to source a good cheap monitor.
Please hand in your pocket protector on your way out.
And we've seen how well American Nation Building has been lately haven't we, how's Afghanistan doing at the moment, gotten rid of those pesky war lords yet?
I agree with the premise of "You broke it you pay for it" however I don't agree with the idea that America should run Iraq. Let the UN do the job funded by the people who insisted on invading. Oh and the oil contracts? They should go to the highest bidder, not discriminated on the basis of who's pissed off at who.
Neither have we, mind you define CD-Duplicators? Are you talking about the big monster boxes that do dozens at a time or are you talking about the every day burner?
Umm last I checked America had actively tried to jail some one for breaching the DMCA when he didn't even live the US and hence should not have been held answerable to US law.
And don't talk to me about empire, let's just see how the new "American Century" pans out before throwing those stones around.
Umm I hate to tell you this, but rather than this spreading "to" America its spreading "from" America. Ever since the US passed the DMCA RIAA clones around the world have been jumping up and down trying to get their own version installed. Once again America leads the way.
Slashdot Mirror
Oh that was a good idea. Not only will the machine be hacked but it'll suffer a good old Slashdotting as well.
I always heard it as Schwartz. My mistake, ich spreche kiene yiddish.
I see your schwartz is as big as mine!!
The problem is that governments are trying to move to a point where they don't need warrants.
Xinul is the main OS having achieved monopoly years ago, only geeks use Swindow SM.

Outlook has also proven itself to be buggy, unreliable and so full of holes the swiss could use it for cheese.
The only real benefits you get from Outlook is when it is used in conjunction with Exchange, as a stand alone email client, it is pretty average.

How about an epic triology featuring Garfield?
This might not be a bad thing, it's either this or another bloody three Star Wars Movies. Episode Nine - The Price Gouge.?

Damned hippy, I mean think about it, he had long hair and no job.
Funnily enough water is also a popular chemical of choice with the general population with 99% of people admitting they are regular users.
Whats next banning water on the basis it aids in the transmission of chemicals around the body?

Both of which you can purchase.
