If you are truely good at both the technological and people factors, then why do you want to get a degree? Perhaps the company you are currently working for has an ancient policy requiring degrees for certain positions, but you KNOW there's a way around that.
If not, go to another company, or start your own.
Starting your own is the best bet in the long run, and you know it - that way you don't sit there whining about being stuck at the bottom while that CEO-guy rakes in the bucks. In the case of running a company, YOU will be that CEO-guy.
So don't bullshit yourself, and don't feed the status quo mentality. Push yourself, not the piece of paper.
Better stop calling it Linnucks - Sounds too much like Lennox, the air conditioner company. Especially with the Penguin references, it could be miscontrued as something "cool".
I for one, call it Lie-nix, and regard all the people that call is Linnucks as clueless morons. But, it's a never-ending flamewar. I just think the people who are so arrogant that they think that my calling it Lie-nix means I am inexperienced, suck. It's more of a regional thing, some places everyone calls it Linnux, other places everyone calls it Lie-nix.
I think Lie-nix sounds better, and will always call it that just to piss off those who thinks it is the other way around.
Even better, put it in the bathroom, put your servers in the shower and just run water on them. Having them in that bathroom makes it easier to surf for pr0n while on the hopper.
Yah, they're not starving and living in poverty, but what we pay for one of the most important jobs is absolutely fucking pathetic.
Tell ya what, lets just fire all the teachers and see where this country is in 20 years. Bad scene? Hell yah.
You are such a shortsighted dipshit. I'd certainly rather my damn taxes (And I paid over $40,000 in taxes last year, will pay/have paid even more this year) go to teachers than all the fucking bullshit it gets spent on. Shitheaded politicians blowing it on crap all the time. All this multi-lingual literature. Give me a break - live in the US, speak the language. Live in Germany, speak German. I'm sure they didn't do this bullshit in ancient Mesopotamia. (I'm way off target on this rant. Spend it on good shit, not on wacko liberal bullshit)
I'm sorry you only live on $12,000. I'm happy you enjoy it. I hated it. Living in a small trailer, eating ramen noodles. Fuck that shit. People make so much money off what I do, they should pay me even more.
No back to you. While the movie itself was not referred to as "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope" until recent years, the movie, the absolute original shown in theaters, always had "Episode IV" in the yellow scroll intro. I know, I was there, I was only eight, but I remember it like it was yesterday and wondering what I had missed.:)
Yah, but it's not that hard with my older Sony Digital video camera to shoot a video, plug in my firewire cable, send the video to my hard drive, and then email it.
Only drawback is I have to shut down Linux and dual boot to Windows. I haven't been able to figure out how to correctly specify the right IEEE-1394 parameters in the setup for Broadcast 2000 under Linux. I set it for IEEE-1394, but have no idea which port or channel to specify, nor have any idea how to find out. Any pointers?
I know it'll take a long long time to route out the terrorist networks. But why do we not have Bin Laden in custody yet?
That shouldn't take all that much time. Seems like we are just not putting enough effort into it, instead letting the Northern Alliance fight most of the battles for us.
We just need to get him, and get him alive, to get all the information he has in his head. Drag him over here alive, start pumping him full of truth serum, and that will be more information on the terrorist networks in a day than we'll get in a year of normal covert "investigating".
Pick the four most likely areas we think he is in, drop sleep gas or something in mass quantities on those areas, drop in a monstrous amount of troops, grab every person that looks vaguely like him, lock them up somewhere, and then figure out which one is the real Bin Laden. Sort of a macabre "Where's Waldo" game.
Is is just me, or is Step One of the "War on Terrorism" taking way too long?
I talked with Dirk Willem van Gulig a few days ago. The way he explained the use of both the two models available in Apache 2.0 was to run the apps you trust not to crash in the Threaded model. Apps that you may be having problems with, or really important, high-usage apps in the Process model.
As far as rewritten modules, some of them will need to be, as modules now will need to be able to be also used as filters. With Apache 2.0, it's possible to use the output of one module as the input to another module. Such as running the output from mod_php through mod_include and then through mod_rewrite. Really cool stuff!
The major modules have already been rewritten. The API is changed as well, to give it more power, such as a filename to filename hook. (Finally!)
I beleive he said something about the capability of 1.3 modules to still be used, but only in the old way, not as filters. But I am not completely sure that is what he said. (He talks insanely fast! Even sitting next to him I sometimes had trouble keeping up with with his accent. Not his fault, I just haven't talked to a lot of people from the Netherlands, so I'm not used to it.)
Re: Don't Look into Eclipse!

Java IDEs?

I spent half the night downloading Eclipse at 3.6K per second (On a cable modem even), after seeing people talk about it here. What a waste of time, what a pile of shit. Running on a 800 Mhz machine with 640 Megs of memory, it took nearly 30 seconds just to resize the window. WTF?
And their help documentation - it brings up a tree of all kind of interesting-looking documents, but how the hell do you actually open the document? No left click, no right click, nothing in the menus I can find.
I was hoping for the ultimate Java IDE, not even close. Old versions of Forte are far better, and old versions of Forte were horrible.

I've always thought that it was a little strange to have both public key encryption and identification built into the same thing.
In some situations, you just want your data encrypted as it goes across the net. I'd think there should be two separate things, one for enabling encryption, the other for identifying the other party.
But then again, typically if you are actually going to go to the "trouble" of encrypting your data, you probably want to make sure of who is receiving that data.
But, the current CA scheme really leaves a lot to be desired, I certainly don't feel a lot of trust just because something is signed by Verisign, ever work with those people??
And yes, you can sign your code with these too, but then you have to distribute ca.crt to people who will be using it, somewhat of a pain. In a small-scale type of thing, not a problem. Make it part of your installer.
OK, you're set up as a homebrew Certificate Authority (CA) and ready to start signing your own home-brew certs:
First, create a homebrew private key:
openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
Create the unsigned public key (AKA certificate signing request) At one point in the process, it asks for "Your Name" - if this is for personal identification, then put in your name. However, if this is for a development web server, then put in the web site address "dev.www.wherever.com" when it asks for "Your Name"
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
Get the sign.sh script from the Apache mod_ssl distribution, use this to sign the certificate:
./sign.sh server.csr
There you go, you now have the private (server.key) and public (server.crt) keys. Install them on your webserver.
They will work, but your browser will whine about them being signed by an untrusted source. No problem there, give a copy of CA.crt (NOT CA.key!!) to any developers using your web server and have them install it on their machine, from then on, their browser will consider any certs signed by your homebrew CA key to be valid. To install the cert on IE browsers, a hint: you do not use your browser to do it, even though there is an "Install Cert" button on the window that pops up to let you know that the cert is signed by an unknown CA. Instead, you give them CA.crt, have them save it to their hard drive, then open up Windows Explorer, right click on CA.crt, and pick Install Cert from the menu, a Certificate Wizard will pop up, go with the defaults, then your machine will trust the homebrew certs.
The root certificate game has always been just a money scam, especially for dev certs.
Everybody request http://www.msn.com/MozillaRulesYourSiteSucks.php and then sit there hitting refresh all night (Or at least until you get bored!) - This way their traffic analysis will show massive hits for the missing file LinuxRulesYourSiteSucks.php:)
Or, to strike back, lets start setting up sites to reject IE, tell them they need to upgrade to Mozilla or something. Imagine if/. did this!:)
"In addition, the PIN is protected more rigorously against dictionary attacks"
WTF? How is a four digit PIN in any way protected from dictionary attacks? Takes a small dictionary, starts at 0000, 0001, 0002,... 9999.
Maybe if they only allow you three or five tried before you get locked out. But then, that can be used against them as well, imagine a bot that would do nothing be try all kind of accounts and hit them with 6 bad PINs, and you can lock out thousands of.net accounts.
Then 80% of the net does not get my business. No way will I use anything that requires passport. If my bank requires it, I'll get a new bank. If an online store requires it, I'll either surf somewhere else or jump in my car and drive to a real store.
