Info on W3C may be extensive, but it's not very accessible. If you only have a good guess how things work, W3C specs won't be your thing. Wading through tons of BNF simply doesn't cut it if you need an "at a glance" hint how to cook your requests.
Cisco preraration courses are of a very high standard. You will get trained on Cisco equipment but most stuff(like routing protocolls) is very general. Although I didn't go for any certifications I profited immensly of this.
That and you'll have the opportunity to network 6 routers, 20 switches and 2000 meters of cable for a whopping 6 NT boxen. Sounds odd but it's quite fun.

The bavarian TV station BR is broadcasting a similiar programme on a nightly basis. They call ist "Space-Night". Hours of beautiful earth views with a funky soundtrack. Since they are doing this, I always go to bed with the TV running. You can order the DVDs at the online shop. German only. You'll have to ask the fish.
What astounded me was the reasonable way how the Afghanistan campaign was carried out. Diplomacy first, military action later. AND EVERYBODY AGREED ON IT. I clearly remember 090112001. I first read about it on www.spiegel.de. Then this site nearly went down. Then I turned to./. Then somebody got a TV and the whole company I worked at was sitting around it. My thougths then were(in that order)
disbelief; can't happen; tasteless joke
numbness
rage
got sick;puked all over the loo(still turn green when I see the pictures of the people jumping out of the windows)
fear from the US retaliation; George Women Bush isn't exactly the sanest person on the planet
Thank god the last one of my fears did turn out to be insubstantial. But the latest effort to cover the failure to bring any of the al Qaida heads to justice really raises my fears again. Folks, remeber, it still is sorta dubious how W became prez.
On a side note, I'm German. And I lost two persons I knew in WTC. One had to jump. They reconstructed this from where they found body tissue of him.
911 wasn't an attack on the US. It was an attack against all the western world. Don't like government policy of another nation? Well, killing CIVILIANS who have little to do with it won't make your point. Same thing applies to those suicide bombers in Palestine/Israel. We get your point. You are partially right, but KILLING KIDS won't accomplish anything. Samuel Public and Ali Forgothisname all wan't the same thing. As anybody else. Live in peace and be allowed to live his dream. Dammit! It always hits the wrong persons.
And if you buy special 911 memorabila, some amount may be a donation, the rest (minus distribution & manufacturing) is profit. Funny thing is, donations aren't needed anymore. After 911 they had a serious problem of distributing all the cash that flowed in at an astounding rate.
>Since Denmark is surrounded by ocean on 3 sides, one could assume that they have an abundance of breeze to make this work. I wish them success....and Germany to the south. During an election campaign it is also a good source for hot wind.
Seriously, those mills aren't very popular amongst the population. They are big, ugly and noisy. If you keep them off-shore you gotta pay quite some maintenance and the enregy output ain't nowhere next to reliable. It may be better than burning dinosaur-poo, it surely is better than nuclear power plants and definitely not as environment-shattering as raping some poor river. Anything but solar power is far too invasive. Better start energy saving now, since it always comes at a cost that's not represented on the bill you pay for it.
C# for Java programmers...sounds like somebody wants to bully me into learning this IMHO redundant language.
In all my professional life I have never encountered a customer who ran something vital on a MS boxen(apart from one who tried to cope with Oracle on Win2000 Server). Most of our solutions run on either Linux or Slowlaris(or, heaven help, OS390). And everyone up to now is satisfied with our Java dreck. I can't see, how C#/.NET will gain footing in this environment.
But the very instance someone remotely asks for C#/.NET, I'll learn it. No sooner, no later. I simply don't see the market for it, yet.

A customer of ours still uses NS4.7. Apart from the hassle of switching 30k users to something else, they've got another problem: An outdated proxy that can't handle HTTP1.1. They evaluated Mozilla 1.0 and found that this couldn't handle HTTP1.0 proxies. This one stuck. I can't convince them to try a more recent release(that works with the outdated proxy) and I can't sneak in NS7.0 since it is based on an old release. This means we're stuck with NS4.7. Thank god I'm working on the backend as our designers have to cope with this dinosaur. Built-in JRE for Applets is 1.1.5. Blech.

I read "Patent auctioned online, eBay sued", but the truth isn't less weird.
