I read about NTP via O'Reilly's crab-book, I think. Either that, or it was the de facto Systems Administration Handbook, which I keep giving away to people. For keeping a set of servers in sync. Generally, I just populate/etc/ntp/step-tickers and restart, but it has been made easy over the years.
I understand that I can have a GPS, and plug it into my host, that I can use NTP to distribute the time from there to my local network. I haven't had a GPS to dedicate to that purpose yet, but I found NTP interesting. I don't do any realtime things yet. This book would be interesting to read, and to brandish from the office bookshelf.
Great job hacking Microsoft's Unhackable 360! Looking at the instructions, it seems a rather complex hoop jump, and if that's the case -- I'll stick with KnoppMyth and MAME.
Thanks for Doom, Q3A, and all of the work you and your team have put into the gaming industry. You've made our lives lots of fun, by letting us kill tons and tons of people and monsters. You've given us some great games and some awesome technology over the years.
And now, thank you for new methods of doing stenciled shadow masks, and now mega textures. Rock-on, bro.
Is this what gives Bender his strength? Maybe I'm not so hot on the future afterall -- rude beer-drinking robots weren't in the program guide that *I* got. I got the one with the flying cars, and the pushbutton lifestyle.
That same kinda thing happened here for me. I downloaded the images, and burned them to CD, with the intent of using it on my old Dell C640 laptop. Guess what? I couldn't get past the LILO part.
I have been a RedHat fan since 4.2, followed them right through Fedora. *Never* had a problems installing RedHat on any system, unless it had bad hardware, or badly burned disks. In the case with FC5, I was stumped. Seriously stumped. What did they do?
Yes, there are lots of bad recruiters out there. I got so upset with the incompetence and wasted time from bad recruiters, that I started a website to track who's good, and who's bad. Recruiter-Rater lets you find and rate technical recruiters -- before you send your resume. Think of it as a public access recruiter database, without any marketing information. Users are free to post recruiters, post comments, and of course, rate them.
United States uses channels 1-11, Europe uses 1-13, and Japan uses 14. Changing it won't get you anything, as most people use 1, 6, and 11, and 13 isn't far enough from 11 to save you from other user inteference.
Google is your friend.
Yup. That pretty much says it all. Sorry for the redundancy, and all. Does this kill the thread?
Perhaps it is time to take back *our* Internet, and more importantly, *MY* Internet. While I am only a generic sysadmin, and not Vinton Cerf, I did help build the Internet in what it is today. I worked at ISPs, webshops, and software huts. I took care of Internet customers. I told everyone how useful the Internet was. I posted to Usenet, sent emails, published videos, toyed with mashups, and other things. I helped make the Internet work, even if only in a teensy tiny small way.
I want to continue to experiment with everything Internet. I want to post, and send email, and publish. A tiered Internet would not make that financially possible for me, if I have to have two or three colocations to publish my stuff. Or, by not being an approved corporation that is allowed to reach certain network endpoints, how do I reach my intended audience?
So I suggest that the Internet's users take back what is rightfully theirs, and ours, and more importantly to me, mine. We can build our own infrastructure, which somegroupshavealreadystarteddoing. Go get some wireless gear. Learn about it. Gowardriving. Have fun at a Wi-Fi shootout. Know the geeks in the area. I think the best way to take back our Internet, is to own a larger piece of it. I think the only way this can happen, is if there are more of us interested in wireless networking -- enough of an interest to start taking this more seriously.
I started out a little more than 10 years ago, with BSD, and the old Cisco and Livingston routers. I didn't know much about certification. Microsoft started doing their certification program shortly after that, and I don't know when Cisco started.
Over the years, I've thought about getting myself RH or Cisco certified, and then thought better of it. I've seen people with Cisco certifications that couldn't route themselves off a one NIC host. I've met other certified people that didn't understand variable-bit subnet masks.
I don't think not having these certs has hindered me, as I don't generally work for the types of places that have that as a requirement. I think not having a college education hinders me a little bit, though, but I tend to not work for those places, either.
While not quite what you describe, the Nokia 3650 has the number buttons arranged in a circle, like the old rotary phones. While interesting to look at, it is totally non-functional for T9 text input. You have to actually look at the keys in their 'smiley face' orientation, instead of the standard grid. This makes it really tough to type and drive a manual transmission in bumper-to-bumper traffic. With all my other phones, I don't have to look at the keypad to type.
I realize what you posted was meant as a joke, but that is not a good solution to either unemployment of American workers, and the current influx of unauthorized immigration.
1. Does the applicant show initiative, is he/she proactive?
No. (Give me a call)
Actually, GP is showing initiative by suggesting you contact an American worker, rather than an unauthorized immigrant. Seems to me that he's looking for work, and inviting you to call him.
2. When presented with a problem, does the applicant find a general solution, or is he/she looking for a temporary shortcut?
Temporary shortcut. (You know what's faster? Hiring an American)
Doesn't that seem like a permanent solution -- hiring a local employee?
3. Recommendation for hire?
Not recommended.
And the local worker doesn't get the job, and company pays extra to do a visa. I'm quite iritated at the whole hiring process these days, and I had to pipe up.
And while I'm at it, I say let Future Americans come. Let 'em come by boat, by plane, bus, and by foot. If they can get themselves here, they should be allowed to be here, and work, and pay taxes.
It makes sense to me that the barcode on the label on the DVD sleeve should line-up with the slot in the envelope part of the DVD. Would be interesting to learn why they do this, and what advantage -- if any -- there would be to shipping them back barcode-visible. I try to mail the DVD back like this. I haven't noticed any difference in the shipping frequency.
I have a GED, and 10 years of UNIX systems administration experience. My education level has never been a problem with my ability to do my job, unless the HRC thinks it is.
I have the same problem -- show up at an employers website, fill out hundreds of little checkboxes or dropdowns, only to never ever hear from that company. Did they receive your application? Did anyone read it? Were you even considered for the position in the first place? Sometimes you can't even call the company directly. I don't bother with those forms anymore. If my application isn't going to be read, why waste the time filling it out?
Don't they teach kids ANY organic chemistry nowadays?
I never learned any of that stuff, until I started dating a scientist.
How are we to produce the next generation of recreational drug designers and home-made explosives producers that made the West what it is today?
Hm, I guess they have the war on drugs pretty much figured out, but I wish I could have my money back. Sadly, I don't know how to make explosives or neat designer drugs.
Look at G4TV -- they have shows like Cheat (in which that cute girl talks about game cheats), and others (including ST:TNG). There's lots of shows that may appeal to us gamers, and I am glad at least G4 is trying some of them out.
Thanks, TMM!
Another thing to note, however, is that there are *MANY* interfaces that can be used in-place of a keyboard. We have buttons, microphones, and other devices. We have accelerometers, infrared, ultrasound, and frickin lasers.
Devices designed by committee are generally stupid. If Apple had an iPhone that worked properly, I'd be all over that. As it is, I haven't found a phone I like better than my old Nokia 3650, and it's of poor design!

No, wireless non-cancerous mice are in the next lab over: Behavioral Studies.
Oddly enough, this was first post, so I don't know why I was modded redundant.
Hehehehehe! I know exactly what you mean!

Thank you. And kudos to these guys for helping information to flow freely, even through a serious firewall. Good luck!
Slashdot has inaccurate stories. Slashdot has dupes. Slashdot has trolls and flamers.

They re use those things and don't forget what most people rent! I wouldn't seal them with a lick.
See? they thought of that alreaday. Netflix envelopes now have self-adhesive peel-off sticky bits. Nothing to lick 'cept your partner =_)
