Nope, you are being graded on ALL of the above, although many employers may value tolerance and submissiveness more than free thinking, enthusiasm and creativity.
Personally i'm sick of university, i was sick of it after the first year and I wish it was over.
Maybe the reason why many employers are requiring 4 year degress in the IT field is to see if you have what it takes to work through the boring stuff. If you are sick of school after only one year, how would you last 30+ years in the work force?
It reminds me of the boom days where every other TV commerical is from one of those paper mills that promise high paying IT jobs for a year's worth of schooling.
The business plan calls for 1,200 graduates a year by 2007 - five times MIT's 225 graduates in computer-related fields each year, Northface executives say.
And since when do they measure the quality of school based on the number of graduates per year?
This new claim is just the latest twist in a tangled story that began in March 2003 when SCO sued IBM, claiming IBM's programmers stole code from Unix, to which SCO holds some copyrights
It's funny how it went from "SCO owns UNIX" in the beginning of the lawsuit to "SCO holds some copyrights".
It looks like Darl still has the ability to boost stock prices as needs since it's above $5 per share right now. As soon as it falls below $5, all Darl needs to say is something like "Don't use Linux because Linus is a Nazi" to boost the SCO shares.
I don't think that there will be any lawyer who will be willing to take on a case as SCO will be a worthless smothering ruin after IBM is through with it.
I'll put on my tinfoil hat play the Devil's Advocate here and give you a highly unlikely but still possible senario here. What if the City of Munichare using this as a dog and pony show to get the deal of the life time from MS? For example...
City of Munich: MS, unless you give use the deal of the life time, we are going to use Linux. MS: Go ahead, I'm calling your bluff. City of Munich: Hello world! We are switching to Linux and here's our plan. MS: Ok, ok, we will give you a kick ass deal but I want to you make the switch without everyone finding out about the deep discount. City of Munich: We are halting the plans of deploying Linux due to the patent issue.
I'm from South Korea and there is a mandatory service there. I'm not suprised since the Korean military is pretty shitty and they have to maintain rather a large army for a country that size due to North Korea.
Copying digital media is easy, cheap and, within reason, will not bankrupt people who depend on sales of said media.
And you wonder why RIAA and MPAA are trying to shutdown P2P networks.
Do note I say copying within reason. But in my experience it always is within reason. The people who make the most noise are usually those suffering from greed.
So you can afford the hardware to play the game yet you are unwilling to pay $55.00. Who's the greedy one now?
That brings up another interesting question. What do you think will look better, 800X600 with low texture quality or 640X480 with higher texture quality?
I didn't say he made money from selling the inflated stocks, he's too smart for that. He made his millions from his salary and bounuses for the "job well done".
Not to mention a hefty profit for the hardware folks. From CNN.com:
At the very least, PC hardware manufacturers stand to gain, given the game's sizable system requirements. Graphic chip manufacturer nVidia (NVDA: Research, Estimates), in particular, hopes to see a sales bump, as id Software, developers of "Doom 3," have named its GeForce FX as the recommended card for the game.
Any one here know if Doom will play decently (on something like 800X600) on a system like this?:
Athlon 2400+ on a nForce2 chipset board 1GB RAM GeForce FX 5200 with 128MB VRAM
I really haven't been into games lately but this title seems to be worht getting, provdied that I don't have to spend money to upgrade any hardware.
This reminds me of the credit card applications. People sign them without reading the fine print and act suprised when they get raped with various fees and high interest rate.
While I'm not condoning this type of behavior, we need to start thinking about the rights that we sign away everyday for the mighty dollar.
District Court found that Alcatel owned a former employee's software idea that had never been written on paper.
Since it wasn't written down, it's his word against the company's. And since he did sign the paper saying that his ideas belonged to the company while he worked there, I think that he's screwed.
Many/. geeks just don't get that people use exchange not for email, but for all the other stuff it does - group calendars+meeting appointments, resource reservations, shared address book etc.You know, there is a reason why OpenExchange is called a groupware. And BTW, people also do use Exchange for E-mail, too.
McBride: To start off, it will be in the millions of dollars. If we see a courtroom victory against IBM, than obviously that number will jump up significantly.
Darl left out the part about what would happen if they lose against IBM and IBM countersues with a vangence.
So what? If it doesn't say, and the law just leaves off with "inconsistent use", or even a terribly vague "potentially dangerous", then what's to stop it being peversely interpreted when someone in power has it in for you?
Since when do the bleach makers get to make laws? Show me the law where it says it's a crime to pour an extra cup of bleach in your laundry.
I suppose it's not, but there's no way to stop it without also stopping things that _are_ fair use. You may be willing to throw out the proverbial baby with the bathwater, but many of us are not.
It's funny because many slashdotters believe that private ownership of guns should be banned becasue some people abouse them. MPAA and RIAA's just using the same arguments for P2P networks. Besides, I don't know of anyone who got convicted for sharing legal files over P2P.

3 out of 5 machines failed to come back up
I guess MS was right when they said that Win XP SP2 is more recure. You can't infect a computer that's down.
I guess you haven't checked SCO's stock price after Darl's annuncement.
What??? Are you saying that my degree from the mail order Brain Surgery course is useless?

Right now, Microsoft vs. IBM is Hitler vs. Stalin: they're both evil
Maybe IBM did learn from getting screwed by MS and trying to set it's own industy standard with the Micro Channel Architecture.

In Slackware, spending 5 minutes with man iwconfig was all the documentation I needed to set up a prism based wireless card.
As for Aunt Millie types, I dobut that she'll be able to properly setup a wireless network even with her Windows computer.
Since employers can be liable for employees actions, what idea doesn't seem too far fetched.

IDGNS: What's the budget for the SCO Marketplace?
McBride: To start off, it will be in the millions of dollars. If we see a courtroom victory against IBM, than obviously that number will jump up significantly.
Darl left out the part about what would happen if they lose against IBM and IBM countersues with a vangence.
Darl already made millions by inflating the SCO stock so I don't think that he gives a damn what happens to SCO now.
