I have no doubt in my mind that java is no.1 I'm simply curuois about the choice of languages included. I did find it funny that knowledge of JavaScript is more likely to land one a job than c#
Where is it? PHP has become the defacto standard for developing new websites. There are certainly more PHP jobds then Python ones. It would also be interesting to learn about employment oportunities for ppl with older skills like Cobol, Fortran, Assembler.
Philip Dick is definetly no.1 on my goopd SF list. Ubiq is possibly one of the best SF stories of our time. The only thing that always buffled me about his stories is his obsession with woemn not wearing stockings, I swaer his stuck this line in every description of female characters. Was it really such a big turn on in the 60s?
First of all I'm from Russia, a country that had a parallel moon landing program that was scaped after US announcment that they landed first. (USSR wanted to be first at everything). Achieving that would have given USSR new technologies that could have been used in ballistic missles and such. Purhaps CIA knw that and created the moon landing hoax as a form of sabotage? In any case the burden of proof tha moon landing actually took place is on NASA, also a few years a got hater was a story about Mar landing footage found in NASA grabgae or an abandone facility dont rember which now. I belive NASAs explanationw as that it was part of a simulation performed fopr a scraped MARS landing program in the early 80s. Something to think about.
Is it just me or there have beemr ecently a flood of people whoring Gentoo. Seems suspicios since noone I know perosnally or proffesionally runs it. And no I dojnt run Gentoo coz I'm located in Russia and d/l every package in source form over 33.6 is not much fun.
I live in Russia where developer market is similar to one in India. I can tell that we dont need special coaching to switch to any particualt form. The demand for software is compltely external, meaning we just work on whats is outsouced from the States and Western Europe. All the develoepr tools and OS are "free" meaning you can buy the lates V svs studoipn.net enterprise edtion 6 cd set at any software kisook for 15 bucks. Most currently specialise on win soft but its alo possibl;e now to male money doing compltely Linux/FreeBSD shit.
According to their website engine, controls and most of the avioniks parts have been removed. too bad. It would be cool to live in the air and never touch the ground, sorta like that guy from Contact.
Honestly I dont understand what West wants from Russia. I know BBC shoed a documentrary about several brits and new zelanders who ent to intall telco equpment in Checnya during 96-99 "indepnedance" period and were captured and had their heads cut off only because Al-queda paid more for their execution. Would US or UK allow such a bandir state to exist next to their borders?
From your other comments you appear to be from EU.
Funny how EU likes to stick its nose into other countires business, But when Turkey wants to jon EU
they are accused of wanting to destroy Europe. You probably think that pal terrorists thaT blow up kids at night clubs are combatants too and need to be treated with accordance to Geneva convention.
Hate is a real problem even in the most civilized developed nations. But banning hate speech? Its like requiring a patient to sign an NDA to keep his diagnosos secrent. Will cancer disapper if noone who got it can talk about it?
The so called CoE is just a useless discussion club with no power whatsoever. Unfortuently my country (Russia) had the misfortune of joing it. In return for being constantky shit on we had to drop death penalty (so now we cannot execute the terorists who held 1000 people hostage in Moscow). We also have to put up with conctant Checnya inspections by likes of Lord Judd.
I didnt mean ot offend your beloved Gentoo...
I just wanted to point out that that particualr distro wasnt suitable for 3rd world countries.
I'm running RH7.2 btw.
Heres food for thopught. I live in Russia, unlimited intetnet dialup is over $100/month. Average salary is $150. Do you think poor people or rurral schools (where teachers soemtime shavent been paid for years) can afford downloading every package in source form. Btw the discussion is purely theoretical since everyone buys pirated software for less than $1 a disk.
You'll quickly change your mind about Gentoo one you leanr how much inter access in the 3rd world countries cost and how slow it is. Downloading source at 9600 cant be much fun
I understabnd the system in theory. I also understand that consular workers are overworked and swamped. I was denied my forst visa 4 times even tho I had good proof. It gets easier if you alredy have been ussied a US visa in the past. However the atnosphere at the consulate in Moscow is just horrible. Every time I go there there is someone crying or screaming. Last time it was an elderly woman having just been dienie a visa to visit her son and granson in America.
While I'm too young to remember the 70s. Life in in the 80s certiabnly wasnt anyhting like in the US. Maybe if you were living in Moscow. But not here in Novosibirsk.
I live in Russia, about 75% of non-immigrant visa applications by Russian citizens are denied. When it come to Russian citizens US consulates work in preumption of guilt mode. Anyone applying for a non-immigrant visa is presumed to be a potential immigrant and will only be issued a visa if the applicant can provide that they have substiantila reasons to return home. Usually it means having 20000 dependents in Russia, substential real estate, and a be earning 5 times the average russian salary.
That was exactly my point. I respect Linux as a hacker but right now Linux community needs a diffrent kind of leader, simply being a top coder is not enough. His refusal to take a stand on the BitKeeper issue cannot be ignored anylonger in light of the new development.
Dont forget that Linus started working on the kernel partly because applying patches to Minix and redistribtion was controlled by a rahter restrictive license.
How long will he continue to sidestep the issue when a large number of top coders will be essentially cut-off from contributing to the kernel source tree.
I have great respect for Linis but from reading his recent interviews I got a feeling that hes really burnt out. In his own words hed rather spend time woith his kids building sandcastles than working on GNU/Linux kernel. Hes total lack of political consionce is starting to hurt our community as well. Just for fun was fine and dany in 93 but now we need somone who will do more to promote Free Software.
I myself vote for Alam Cox, he has shown not only great technical skill bit aslo deep belief in FS (I'm refering to him threating to quit redHat a few month ago)
Let Linix retire and take a postion as an "honorary" leader.

You poor baby, mut be real sorry you left huh? Especially now that there so many opportunities to make monry and live geat in Russia?
Since when it is gobenments responsibility to feed people? I live in Russia and a feed myself thank you very much
I'm Russian and can conform that you should use 'ya' in this case. Solaris would probably be pronounced as Soleeris by a Russian speaker.

So you are admitting that you're really a MAN?
a beowulf cluster of "business ladies" purhaps?
