I don?t know about you, but I only pay tax online, when I buy something from with in the State, if I get it from out of state, I don?t pay taxes on it. But then again maybe WA has just not found that loophole yet.
As an old 74B, (when I was in it was information systems operation/programmer) class 07-94, we got decent training, a little hands on, on basic pc builds (with 286/386 remember 486/p1 were high speed at the time) some basic programming (in basic and dbase4 (ok not a real language like C but shut up)) office 95 training, a few windows 95/nt3.51 install setups, and about a two weeks hands on in SCO Unix, just enough to make us dangerous, and yes we killed the server many times, kill -9 is dangerous in the hands of the stupid. However, for what it was a brief entry level training it was not bad.
Once I got to Permanente party, It was a lot better, I got tones of hands on with dedicated systems (old ugly green TACS boxes:() and with OTS (Off The Shelf) systems, mostly hd and cdrom replacements. In addition, many hands on in SCO UNIX, working with the SARSS systems, the upgrade to NT4 svr, and workstations was just coming on line as I was going away. However, I got a lot out of it.
Could it have been better, yes, but since 74's leave the army so fast, it would not make sense to train us for 3 years, and makes us real super IT Gurus on everything, to only server for 2 or 3 years left.
The only thing I hated about Gordon, was running around that damn Clay/sand Field 3 or 4 times a day:( but other then that it was alright for an AIT place, better then some from what I hear.
isint this what MS does all the time, take a good idea, and send it out in to the world, and test it later, and then try to tweak it untill it is fixed, or they have a new product to sell us, win ME anyone?
What are you talking about, in both places I have worked as an IT person (both help desk and on site support) we would push out updates from the server, when they logged on to the network in the am. It is not hard to setup a system the pushes the updates to patch the new (or re-found) holes in windows setups. It does not require a person going on site to every pc and running the windows update util.
Also every where I have worked, we had a COE (common operation environment) and if you were not on a testing team, and you did not have the COE desktop/OS/software or had any extra software installed, they would just re-image your workstation to bring it back to the COE standard. And it was nice:D
lets see a P4, with only a 32 bit processor, against a 64 bit processor, who will win..........i wonder
WTF.
they bareily beat another 64 bit proc, at half there speed, oooooooowwwwhhhhh thats a fast chip.
the only time AMD's are fast is when they fall, and then it is still only at 32 feet per second squared. >:)
If you want to give up your freedoms, then go live in a country where you don't have them; don't try to dictate what we should have to give up.
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety. Nor, are they likely to end up with either."
-- Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
You should note that the 'right' of privacy is guarantied in the US Constitution. Most of the replies to this seem to think that this is a right, under the US Constitution, you only have a few rights (4) Four. In addition, they are, the right to Life, Liberty, the pursuit of Happiness, and finally the right to Vote. This is it, in none of the Amendments to the US Constitution, i.e. the bill of rights, do they guaranty our right to privacy; unreasonable search, yes, but this does not give privacy.
The people that I want out of my COUNTRY; are as follows.
Illegal aliens (not all aliens just the illegal)
Aliens with expired visa
People that will not scarifies minor freedoms to win
That is it, not a lot, just those that are not willing to give up something that is unimportant for some thing that is.
Freedom is not free; it has to be paid for with the blood of the innocents. (Yes I know this is a quote, but I cannot find from whom right now)
To reply to the attempted to call me a hypocrite, I am willing; unlike others, it now shows, to give up freedoms, which are not rights, to protect the whole. This is simple; you have to get sick with chemo, to get out the cancer. This I will do. It hurts to have a tooth worked on, but it is better in the end, this I will do. It hurt when I was shot, but I was able to kill/put down/take out the shooters with my SAW/M249 to save the Squad as we ran from cover to cover in Bosnia, this I will do. This I will defend.
I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to my death for your right to say it. Ben Franklin (I think)
I do not understand why any American, (Big A), would even think about apposing the PATRIOT Act. What this does is re-empower the Government to place the criminals and terrorists on notice. You should understand why any American would even think about not giving the power to the people that can and will save lives.
Keep in mind that the ACLU right now is fighting the NY state police, when they helped the INS and picket up people that had committed a felony, of letting their work/school visas expired.
The ideas that are in the PATRIOT Act are good ideas. Having roving taps, not on every one, but on criminal, and suspects, just makes good cents. Being able to put any one who comes to this country and breaks the law, under surveillance is a good move.
As a retired solider I will fight for my rights, but I will once again give up something I love to protect people. The first time it was my rights as an individual when I joined the Army. Now it is a right to privacy to protect the lives of my fellow fellow citizens. This I will do this I will defend.
If you are not willing to give up a few freedoms, which you will never notice when they are gone, to save a life. GET THE F*CK OUT OF MY COUNTRY. This is worth fighting for.
I may not agree with you, but I will fight to my death, for you right to say it. James Madison, The Federalist Papers
Talking on the z-y-x axis for math. If all are set to zero, there would not be any room for more than a single sub-atomic particle. For them to be a point, would mean that Matter would be destroyed, not converted, but destroyed.
This can not happen, this will not happen, matter is forever. It will convert; it will change, but never go away.
But then again I may be wrong, it would be the first time, but there is a chance.
I think that the idea of free software is great, but there needs to be a way to make money off of it or it will not advance at a decent rate. Look at it this way, most of the Linux advances have either come from colleges, where your grade depends on it, or from the software industry, Redhat for example. And all of them sell the software in some form, or support for their versions.
But I do believe that software is like sex.........it is better when it is free:)!
Right now it is running a Enermax 431 AMD aproved power supply, and note that in my orginal comment i said that it would not run XP, but is fine with 2k, but i would like for it to run XP not 2k. I thought and still think it should be more stable on XP. XP is just basicaly version 2 of 2k. but any ways, now it has been downgraded to a file server. I wanted this to be a back up gaming setup, but i guess not.
I don't think that the board is bad because, it has been running win2k for over 4 days now with out a problem, no lock up, no on its own reboots.
I don't think the memory is bad, First of all it is Kingston pc 2100 DDR, next it ran in my P4 setup for a year with out any problems ( was moved down when upgraded to pc 2700 ddr)
Power, I don't think their is a power problem, because I use an old line cleaner/conditioner from APC (left over from an old work upgrade) that dumps in to an APC Smart-UPS 1000VA USB, for an additional power cleaner and power lost back up system.
I have had problems with every AMD XP mother board I have had to work on, be it a Sis or a VIA chipset. I have never with one exception had any problems with Intel boards being bad. The bad board was an 820 base, and it was recalled, and replaced by Intel. That works for ME!
I have fought with AMD processors on both VIA and SIS chip based motherboards. And they both suck. Every Intel board I have had has worked with out a problem, to include non-Intel based boards, such as my SIS based Asus, and my VIA based Asus. The AMD chipsets I think are flaky by default.
Why on earth would I give up my stable, Intel mother board/processor combinations? Every time I have tried to get an AMD machine to work correctly it fails. I follow all of AMD's specs and instructions and the machine still fails. Right now I am fighting with an Asus a7v333/1800xp system that refuses to run windows xp at all. I am using an asus geforce 4 video card, Kingston memory, and a single WD hard drive. And it will not run xp worth a sh*t. But I just this am put together a new asus p4b533/p4 2.6 GHz, and it is up and loaded, with all of the xp updates a little more then 2 hours from out of the box.
If AMD wants me to buy their sh*t, they need to make it work on the first try. I will continue to pay more for reliability, and still have one of the fastest machines out there. I will never buy an AMD system again.
This is from just one IT business owner/computer guy.
If you plan out your water cooling setup properly, you should have no problem. I have been running a water cooling setup for about two years, with out any problems on my twin PIIIZeon setup. I use good "Fuel" grade black silicone with copper core tubing. To make it look nice I put an automotive fake sliver wire/hose wrap on it, it reflects the cold cat lights nicely.:)
Also I have never seen a water cooling system fail with proper maintenance. I made my one water jacket for the CPU's, out of lexan and silicon and a two part epoxy. Bought the cool lance system for the geforce 2 video card, and three of the HD coolers.
Also you should note that water will move on its own through thermodynamics, and will cool better with out power then an air cooled system, where your fans fail. My system has 2 pumps, one pushes up and one pulls down after going through every thing. It has never failed me yet.
