My biggest problem with DeVry is that i think i've taught my professors more then what i've learned. In one class, ALL linux related questions were directed to me (this was over the couse of a couple weeks, not anecdotally in one class), and did i get any extra credit? NO... In another class, after my professor bragged and bragged how he was leading a project written in java for the city, he was AMAZED to learn about SQL injection. In my second OO class, most people were still struggling with understanding what a variable and a for loop was. This was AFTER they had taken 15 credit hours of other prerequisite programming classes.
I could go on and on, but my point is that i find DeVry's purpose is only to churn out middle management tools.
i dont understand why anyone is freaking out about this... there are allready tons of cameras on the streets downtown owned by business, the city, and whoever else... your allready being watched... smile!
Having done tech support for ADSL i'm always hesitant about phone companies offering new technology. I wonder how long after someone gets it, that they realize all the hidden fees and other random charges making it much more then advertised. But then again, with all that dark fiber lying around allready, who knows? I'll still prolly sign up for it if i can to avoid that silly upstream cap on cable modems.. 8)
i goto DeVry.. and well.. i can't exactly say it's a bad experience, but i do think a typical sheltered nerd would benefit from a college with writing and history corses that actually matter.. my biggest shock in going here is that there are no nerds.. i'm the only one of all the students i have known to actually use linux.. i've actually explained to one of my professors how SQL injection works, and he was a supposed java project manager working for the city. or explained to another professor (who is a self professed 'expert' at red hat 8 ) how to install VNC. maybe it's just my school but it seems to be a bunch of thugs and people uncertain which end of the mouse to use. I guess all the real nerds went to other colleges...
i use this alot.. but i mix it up by also putting abuse@(the domain asking for my email) and then i sign up for every newsletter they have... i figure it saves me alot of time by just letting them report the spam to themselves... 8)
Well this should be your first sign.. i'm not saying that you have to be an electrical engineer to plug some PC boards together, but atleast spend 30 seconds on google to find out what it those capacitors are. I know he's prolly joking, but as simple as microsoft and apple try to make them, certain aspects of PC's are far from simple, so my suggestion is atleast have SOME familiarity before your act suprised that it blows up.
because a relay is a mechanical thing with much slower response time then semiconductors, and because there's ALOT of them, well they just run that fast or else they gum up
you dont' understand.. there are guys at the phone company that just randomly pull wires from the dslam.. i think they play a game with it or something... but that's the only explanation we could trace it to when i worked at an isp...
I has so much fun learning basic as a teen and doing some crazy stuff with QBASIC.. sure it's lame... but after making a simple polygon 3D engine i realized it's time for me to move on. Happy B-Day!
what is it that makes people think that the routers responsible for these huge backbones are like a simple windows machine?.. atleast spend 3 seconds and look up BGP or something... educate yo self foo!
Obviously this has to cater to the top 40 kinda crap that's be marketed as actual music to everyone today. what would really impress is being able to hold it up to some obscure jazz/electronic album and having the phone identify it. if you listen to any top 40 station for an hour, you can just as easily identify one of these songs as this phone can
I am the only one at work that uses Mozilla. One day shortly after installing it, someone at my office said, "How do i get the cool looking dinosaur icon for my pictues too?" I've never had people jealous of my icons before.. 8)
My life changed the day i found out i could get my super fast P4 Windows XP box to compile for my slow linux box. Distcc for cygwin is a miracle.

thread at Gentoo forums
churn is normal for web hosting and ESPECIALLY dial up. When i used to do dial-up tech support, i can't count the number of people that switched because they thought we slowed their modem down allowing them to only connect at 22.1k at their farm house in the middle of no where. A few months later and a few ISPs later they realized the squirrles chewing their phone lines were more at fault then we were. The point of my story is this, churn is normal, and don't ever work for an ISP that covers every nook and cranny of a midwestern state. 8)
and i thought the terrorists hated us..

but it would be nothing compared to the hatred these radioactive, mutated, super alge would have.
i would completely agree with the parent post if it were not for the fact that this is almost a textbook example of buffer overflow code. It's like mocrosoft copied it from some explot book to begin with, renamed it, and plugged it into windows.
heck.. i dunno why you wouldn't want a 3D linux desktop! i would be able to use my DOOM style chaingun to delete my files all the way to hell! I could use my chainsaw to write my TPS report covers with imp blood!!! by the time my co-workers realized they were fragged by me, their silly email would be in their inbox. BRING IT ON!!!

three things are certain
death, taxes, and data loss
guess which one happened

How can i get in on some double-bind [sic] studies? that sounds rather interesting 8)

some people have audio software that will run in nothing other then windows xp...

Linux will never be able to catch up... The best it can hope for is is to be within .0000000000000001% of Microsoft.
if you think this is a flame, then you need to do some research
