The entire point of this is these are not ignorant people, they are as skilled as you, maybe more so, but willing to make 1/4 of your pay.
It really doesn't matter where you live, or your job title, as long as it's not India, you WILL be hurting. We have all these social programs, taxes, houses, cars, gadgets, Indians are happy to EAT and have the money to go to the doctor.
The corporations are cutting their own throats in the name of short term profits, they are going in exactly the opposite direction Henery Ford did when he made his workers some of the best paid so they could buy his products, who do you sell to when no one can afford to buy your products, it's a race to the bottom, no one wins.
No what the shoppers at walmart marry after drinking as much boonsfarm as possible is fugly, the site just looks plain, which is way different from fugly.
I am attempting to lure another feeble minded down modder into blowing more points here.....
You could have modded up an interesting or insightful comment, too hard though, there are quite a few good comments on this story, ahh but you didn't read the story did you, you don't understand it.
This will really get some negative karma points flowing....
The problem with both of the mods is sex, neither of them have had the pleasure, this must explain their lack of empathy, clearly if they can't have a laugh at their own expense they have that stick pushed way too far up their ass.
Back on topic....
dead puppies.....dead puppies.....almost downloaded.....compile...show me your source...compile......install.....yeah baby boot...boot
I read that first as flushbox window manager(not fluxbox) for some reason, I expected it to say..... and watch your machine go in the shitter.
No I am infact referring to the windowing system that has no standards what-so-ever, I understand why people like it, it's like a harley, no one is the same and it's always broken down for some reason.
The computer as a typical consumer uses it today will soon cease to exist. It's all going to be embedded devices, just like toasters, but like toasters they need to work everytime.
MicroSoft's main revenue will come from embedded devices to surf the web, type documents, order pizza (like the iopener), play movies and games, etc(like the home theater stuff)...if they do the correct things in the next few years
Joe Average, when they live with a TiVo, they like it, they don't know it runs Linux and don't really care one way or another, this is Billys problem, in the end no one really cares what it runs so long as it works, for a recent lesson look at the pull back of Ultimate TV, the supposed TiVo killer.
Linux (or Unix)has never been the problem, it works the way it should, it can be hidden from the consumer completely, the problem has always been X, its inconsistancies are its problems, they will never be fixed, just another kludge added to the rest making it ever more complicated.
I regularly ignore the mod system as it is so totally broken. I don't meta mod or mod anymore due to the BS, so I stopped caring about how I'm modded, it's useless for me, likely useless for others like myself.
Any slashdotter with enough time on their hands and the zeal to repost articles and lame links can get modded up enough to become a moderator.
I wish I could rank people 0-5 and view their posts by my mod system, it doesn't matter to me someone else found it interesting, I find people and not posts interesting.
I had the thought of using these, but from working in a data center I can say that almost all equipment needs front and back support.
A better idea would be to just order the rails from a cabinet company, chatsworth for example, and just bolt those to the inside of a wooden frame with front and back supports.
Be sure to make the cabinet deep enough, many 1U servers are fairly deep and may end up hanging out the back of your cabinet if it's not deep enough.
The only time a relay rack would be acceptable would be for cobalts or something light like that, relay racks will work on them as they have no rear supports.
Nevermind history, nevermind facts, nevermind humans will never coexist peacefully, stick your head in a hole and allow us all to die, no one left to tell the story, no one left to care.
I'd sooner see some of the race survive then none of it, hey dinosaurs had a good run while they were here, but they never made it to our point, the point where WE never have to go extinct, WE will if this planet is it for us.
We need to have some humans off world in an independant sustanable environment.
We are now technically apt enough where a big rock should not kill us off, or a nuclear exchange for that matter.
Moving beyond this solar system should be a goal for the future, harvesting resources from other planets efficiently, this world is small and discovery limited, the universe is infinite, that should be reason enough to push beyond our mediocrity.
NASA has been hitting the crack pipe since the shuttle, now the ISS, there is this big mass of dirt floating around us that will make a far better base than the ISS ever could.
Direct TV's PVR with TiVo service is the way to go, I think they are running a promo on it for new service, and unlinke anything else here, it's a TiVo, requires no hacking, and a 3 room system is $99, the recorded stream never goes analog until you watch it, and it blows anything else out of the water that does the D-A-D-A conversion.
For the anti-subscription people..... As far as the subscription, well are you paying for cable? If so you pay for it all day long, even when you're not home, you do pay for the Tivo all day long as well, but it's recording what you programmed it with, as well as stuff it thinks you might like.
If you like to hack - do the hack - if you like to watch commercial-free tv with an easy to use interface - get the TiVo - which you can still hack if you like.
Add it up, do the math, the hack is more expensive for everyone but the unemployed.
Then they have no idea what to do, as it's not all too difficult to keep a machine operating when under attack..... if you can script the solution before the server crashes. It's just a matter of deciding what is normal traffic.
If you let the server crash, then script the solution, the customer understands that you actually did something and tends to understand what the dark room is for.
I'd like to be the admin just to write on the resume.
Implemented counter measures on all public linux servers to lessen the impact of various DDOS attacks carried out in retribution for various linux lawsuits.
Heh, here they tend to hide the road taxes in everything else, they do have road taxes in gas, but not nearly enough to pay for the roads.
Are people forced to move from their homes due to astronomical property taxes where you are?
If the US Gov't sold fuel it would likely be $50.00 a gallon, but to actually sell it would require more paperwork and reqisition forms to replace the sold av gas, so it would prolly be $60.00 a gallon at the South Pole as there are no fuel contractors there to sell it at a consumer price. He will likely be shipped out with his plane as a lesson to never do it again. What if the US and NZ base were not there, I'd say he'd be a popsicle.
This is not the fault of open or closed source methods, this is a fault of poor planning and execution.
Someone overstepped their bounds of knowledge and took everything around them down the crapper.
A well planned project, led by someone with real world experience will almost always come out ahead.
Go ahead have a group of degreed engineers build a small house, then have a few tradesman do it.
Which house is plumb, was done on schedual with working doors and windows.
This is why India will be eating our lunch, we don't hire anyone but degreed individuals, and to top it they are degreed in all the wrong things.
Codeing is not rocket science, it's one of the easier things to do, it just requires much of what degreeded individuals don't like to do, dig a ditch on shovel full at a time. This is also why I don't code, never been much for digging them long deep trenches. Now, if we call it scripting.....
You are correct, the cost of the software to design anything is astronomical, but it need not be.
We have FPGA dev boards available for a resonable price now, we now need a completly open source design language to unify the development. Like a gcc for FPGA design, without GCC we would never have had Linux, without this open FPGA dev language, we won't ever have our own hardware.
Yep, I will agree, it is expensive to own a fab, that might be why noone small does anymore, the big ones are paid for by hopefull investors, that might end soon, it might be a while longer after this crash for them to put up a few billion on the next one, which will be even more expensive than the last.
However, with proper leadership, and corporate sponsors, it is possible to build such a system, it need not be bleeding edge design, just good design.
If Linux had not had the huge investments by corporations it would still be 1993 crashware, a prime example of this is GNU/HURD.
As far as anyone, it has never been anyone, this stuff has always been expensive, my machine in 1993 had 64MB of ram, 4 SCSI drives, and one of those wonky Diamond Stealth 4MB VRAM cards (custom clock, custom mode lines, connected to a Sun monitor), if you remember back in the day that was not a cheap system, but I installed slack, and hacked till I figured out C, and Linux, and everything else.
Next year I will own one of those FPGA dev boards as I see it as the next thing, I'd sooner have 50 , million gate FPGAs, in a box, in parallel than 1 DRM enabled superchip.
We need some solid autorouting software for pc board fab too....I have yet to see anything opensource.
In 1993 I was a computer hobbiest, in 1994 I was a sysadmin, in 2004 I will be an FPGA hacker, who knows what will happen in 2005.
If Kyoto was a hard edged anti-pollution measure then fine, but it's not, allowing poor countries to pollute, and paying for credits to pollute is hardly environmentally friendly. It sounds more like extortion.
No one should pollute, but that is easier said than done, due to the real problem of overpopulation in the world.
The world will balance itself out with or without us, that may involve plagues, unstoppable diseases, etc. Look at Africa, it's in action now, imagine airbourne aids.

Offtopic,
yep, the latest Linux Kernel to come out in a long time.
something relevant to most everyone here.
I make a comment about it being like sex.
haven't gotten any in a while mr.mod, eh?
2.6 oooohhhh
dead puppies, dead puppies, slow down, hold off a sec
ehhh,ehh,ahhhh, that was good for me, was it good for you?

We know they must be good at basket weaving to stay with SCO
Obviously, this is a usage of the word "new" with which I was not previously familiar
It's the same type of NEW as used in the "New Testament"
You are correct! , they did chnge their name.
BTW that link is the announcement
The future is asynchronus analog processors, it will take a rethink of semiconductor design though.
Maybe there's no one to come back.
I love how the ACs shout doom and destruction from their soap boxes afraid to even commit to an alias.
You are pathetic, get an alias and contribute to slashdot rather than posting flamebait.
Me too!

Sorry, had to say it
