Why do all the screens have to be flat(?) screen monitors?
Because LCDs don't scan like CRTs, thus you don't have the same problems filming them. LCDs are more cost effective in TV or film due to reduced post-production work. They've really revolutionized sci-fi consoles and displays since you don't have to matte them in post. Woo-hah.
I've been a sysadmin for almost my whole working life (7 years or so). During the.com boom, I saw a giant influx of people who quit their blue collar jobs, went to ITT Tech and got their MCSE's. This was all well and good, and I was more than happy to teach a few former taxi drivers the ropes of IT.
Now I've been without a contract for nearly 7 months, and a large part of my competition is this "influx pool" who for the most part don't have the blood of the BOFH running in their veins, and are simply trying to pay back their tech school loans. Does anyone else feel this dichotomy between the "true techies" and the "white collar wannabes"?
I'm going to bartender school to get through this period of shite economy, but I hope I can get back in the NOC when this is all over...

Does SciFi still air MST3K reruns? If not, what the hell are they good for?
