if you can't get a job as an engineer, you could always be a teacher, theres a definate market for good cs/ee professors.
here at an engineering school in milwaukee which i will not name (but whose name should be painfully obvious), there are a couple teachers everybody wants, a few everybody would be ok with, and several that nobody wants.
This situation exists in every field, but even more so in EE/CS because there are more people in those programs, and more instructors.
If you think you understand the courses you took, and could teach them as good as your best prof, or at least better than your worse prof, you might want to see about getting a job as an instructor. If nothing else, you could be an adjunct professor during evenings for job security. If your day job doesn't pan out, and you're a good instructor, you would probably be able to move to being a full time professor.
on my laptop with a 1024x768 screen i use vesafb, so X11 setup consists of telling it 'i'm using vesafb, use the fbdev server at 1024x768 and 24-bit'... vesafb supports 1280x1024, so if your laptop's video card does vesa 2, you should be in luck... its not accelerated or anything though which is a problem for some.
well... if you think about it, which is easier, forcing your smtp traffic to go to your server, or logging all network traffic on port 25. i'd think it'd be the former, since it means that the outgoing emails will have legitimate logs in them allready, and you won't have to take down elaborate logs to begin with. also, why should anybody else's mx accept mail from a dial-up user? i'm sure you can configure your exchange server to relay mail through mail.earthlink.net or whatever
they could always sell re-recordable media with data on it to begin with
i believe that at some point in the US, people would buy DAT tapes w/ data on them, and then erase them and use them in their audio DAT equipment to avoid taxes
get a card that supports vesa 2.0 (or higher) and then use the vesa framebuffer kernel driver, and the xserver for framebuffer
if you later switch to another vesa 2.0 compatible card, it will magically work w/ X w/out any configuration changes (unless it doesn't have enough memory for that resoltuon and color depth...)
trust me... after a while your parents will get over the a student thing...
i was looking over my high school transcript the other day and i got a 3.14 gpa w/out getting a's in too many classes other than 'easy a' classes, but then again i didn't do too much of the homework stuff.
being an arogant slashdotter, i'll say i was in the top 10% of students in terms of actually learning stuff, but was at about the 30% mark in gpa
at my school, it would have been trivially easy to copy all the homework and fail all the tests and get a similar or better gpa, so i made my priority learning (and doing enough hw to get passing grades so i didn't have to take classes over). if you plan to go to college, getting a 4.00 gpa is useful for scholarships, but being able to remember and apply knowledge assumed learned in previous classes is much more useful
my four letter domain (advertised on/. no less) does not get a terrible quantity of spam as compared to other addresses that get forwarded to the same place (i check headers ever so often)
maybe it has to do w/ being a.orgy not a.com and having intermittent connection problems besides
it will run at 350 (3.5x 100), but it does bizarre things... everything detects its speed to be 333, and things would crash when they shouldn't.....
i clocked it back to 266 for a long time and it liked that... i've had it at 350 since septemeber and its had strange problems.... streaming mp3s off of it w/ samba works fine, but sending an iso craps out halfway through...
i'm trying it at 333 (4 x 83) right now, it seems to work, but that may change...
according to other posts refering to NPR, that eraser wasn't working in Palm Beach.... apparently election volunteers wouldn't exchange mistaken ballots for new ones....
in which case what do you do?
leave your wrong vote, or mark both?
i personally think they should use scantron based voting rather than punch cards.... (i was introduced to scantron voting here in milwaukee, and its a lot nicer than the punch card voting i have back home in orange county, california)
reading the story on applelinks theres an important tidbit i had missed...
election results of the eastern side of canada are reported to the eastern side of canada shortly after the polls close, which is the main problem. Either the information should go to everyone, or no one. i think it should go to no one until all the polls are closed.
one's vote should not be based on what other people have voted.
if everybody had to mail in their vote a week in advance, 'realtime' vote counting wouldn't be a bad idea, but too many people would change their votes based on what other people have voted, or would wait until the last minute to vote because they want to see what happens first.

And then theres always management...
try searching for people at the popular jobs sites... guru.com, dice.com, etc... maybe post an an add or something?

better watch out, or they'll sue you for that too!
i smell a segfault article on this.....

5 days off of high school sounds like a great reward to me.....
the only time i can stand hearing the P word is when talking about energy (potential energy, electric potential (voltage), etc)
/dev/null as best as i can
if somebody uses the P word in vulgar terms they get mentally blacklisted and i redirect them to
glad to hear i'm not the only one

hope this is somewhat helpful

oh gotcha, yeah... a lot of my spam comes in on the snotmail address everything gets directed to :)
my four letter domain (advertised on /. no less) does not get a terrible quantity of spam as compared to other addresses that get forwarded to the same place (i check headers ever so often)
.orgy not a .com and having intermittent connection problems besides
maybe it has to do w/ being a

(spelling is off, but pronouciation of that is close to the movie...)
amateur radio regulations prohibit use of any form of encryption over the air....
:)
(the idea is to prevent people from using amateur radio as a tool of spying on the US or something)
which kinda throws out security unless you can figure a way to say your encryption isn't
(assuming you're running on a box with a decent network connection, some free hard drive, and a decent amount of ram)
apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade
(the reason i switched to debian from slack)
what you want to do is probably somewhat possible with ip accounting in the linux kernel....
or maybe you want to take some kind of monitoring software and hack the logs into something usable by webalizer?

php allows persistant connections, just use pconenct rather than connect
i believe it has to be running as an apache module for that to work though
other posters have pointed out that the actual ballots and the sample ones were different
according to other posts refering to NPR, that eraser wasn't working in Palm Beach.... apparently election volunteers wouldn't exchange mistaken ballots for new ones ....
in which case what do you do?
leave your wrong vote, or mark both?

What exactly is an intensive purpose?
i believe you mean intents and purposes?

yes, i unfortunately read the article after i posted, i didn't realize that the results were available by other means....
i assumed people were smuggling results somehow *shrug*
given that the results are available to begin with, the gag order is stupid

the 'gag order' is a good thing

think about it, it makes sense
