well, experience or a degree doesn't hurt, but the best way to get a great job is through someone you know. Pals always take care of each other, so if you hang with the right people, you'll hear about the good positions.
Me, I've worked in the computing field for about 27 years now. How'd I get my start? I ran into an old drinking pal in a grocery store at 3:00 AM one Saturday, and he told me of a position at his company. If I hadn't hung out with him in college, I might have had to do honest work for a living.
Everyone wastes a lot of time and effort on radiators and fans...just run a total loss system - out of the water supply, onto the CPU heat exchanger, then down the drain. Water's cheap, and even in the summer comes out of the ground cool enough to get the job done.
And don't forget, the apparently irresistibile desire to put on tires that are either far too small or far too tall to work safely and effectively...like those tiny wide tires on the "slammed" cars, or the equally ridiculous, center-of-gravity raising 20 and 22 inch tires.
It's a rare person that can actually hear up to 20KHz...most people's hearing is seriously rolled off by 15KHz, and many before that.
That's why so few people are bothered by flyback whine from TV sets - 15,734 KHz is above their hearing range. It wasn't for me when I was younger, and used to drive me crazy, but rock & roll & gunfore took care of my high frequency hearing to the point that I can't hear it anymore either.
An interesting assertion...but, since the "designated part of society" assigned the task of defense at the time of the writing of the Bill of Rights was almost the whole durned population, not a valid one...
It goes "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed".
Some interpret that to mean the right to bear arms wes restricted to the miilitia, which is a curious interpretation. If the statement read "a well educated faculty, being necessary to the eduction of the contry, the right of the people to keep and bear books shall not be infringed", would you conclude that only professors had a right to possess book?
Guess that shows how much you know...geosynchronous means that the orbiting object has an orbital velocity equal to the rotational velocity of the earth. GeoSTATIONARY orbits are geosynchrohous orbits, that have an orbital inclination of 0 (that is, they are over the equator). Geosynchronous orbits that are not at inclination 0 will keep an object at the same longitude, and as seen from the ground, will tend to bounce up and down in latitude.
Heck, go ahead and write your book - the theme of lost star empires and echoes of former glory, brought to life by a remnant of the past hardly originated with Roddenberry and Andromeda...Keith Laumer wrote several stories and novels based on such an idea, in the '60s and '70s, and they were far better than Andromeda - for example, "Earthblood" (what I'd give to see it made into a series or movie).
My mistake, I thought you were doing tests to see if there was an actual difference, not whether you might be a highly suggestible person.
If you want to do unscientific tests, and then conclude that preamps with blue front panels sound better than preamps with red ones, feel free...
My chums and I have double blind tested audiophile power & speaker cords vs "normal" ones...none of us could hear any difference. ALthough we are a small statistical universe, we are tempted to conclude, there is no difference...
Ehh? Two cars colliding head on at 60 mph each experience the same decelerative force as one car hitting a stationary object, not twice as much...think about it...in each case, the car is decelerated to 0 mph in approximately the same amount of space and time.
Actually, AC is a bit safer, since you get more of a chance to let go as the voltage goes to zero a couple of times in each cycle.
DC likes to grab you and not let go...
If it's got VMS loaded, cracking the root password is no sweat at all. Ya do a converstional boot (this is done differently on different MicroVaxen, usually b/1 or b/r5:1 on
themore common ones at the >>> power on prompt).
Then, when you get the prompt, SET/STARTUP OPA0:, and SET WRITESYSPARAMS 0,
and then CONTINUE. VMS will boot with the console as the startup file. At the $ prompt, type SPAWN, then at the next prompt, @SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP. The system will be fully up and you will be logged in as SYSTEM, full privs.
Ya then gotta run sys$system:authorize, and create yerself an account.
This is in the VMS FAQ, so I'm not giving away any secrets here..
If it's running some UNIX variant, I got no idea...
Adding drives while the system was running, no problem at all. VAXclusters had Heirarchical Storage Controllers, you could connect a drive and all the systems connected to the cluster would discover it and create a UCB for it. You could them INIT and MOUNT it and start using it.
We had one lf the largest clusters in the Southwest here, and did this any number of times.
Removing one was slightly more work, if you wanted to avoid the mixed blessing that was Mount Verifcation.
"Live Dead". One of the best live albums ever made. No, the very best. Second place, "Bless it's Pointed Little Head", Jefferson Airplane. Third place..."Wheels of Fire", Cream. Fourth, "Live at Leeds", The Who.
Anyway, "Live Dead" is the best Dead album ever made. If you don't like it, you ain't gonna like the Dead.
When I got my first Duron, I thought I would test it first, before bothering to install the heatsink. I'd been working on electronics for 30 years, and had used lots of things that needed heatsinks, but would happily run without them for 20 or 30 minutes, or more. The system booted and ran OK. I shut it down and went to take out the chip, to install the heatsink & fan. I put my thumb on the chip while taking it out, and wound up with the square shape of the center of the CPU burned into my thumb, like the headpiece of the staff of Ra on the hand of the Nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark. The scar tissue took 7 months to heal & slough off.
I prefer using the original CRM114 discriminator and it's host platform on spammers. If you're not familiar with the original CRM114 and it's delivery platform, it was featured in the following movie...

Although gravity varies with the square of the
distance, tidal effects vary with the cube, so the tidal effects wolud be even smaller than your estimate.

It also makes it easier to fire your handgun at oncoming traffic (not in the UK, Singapore, Australia or Ireland, natch).

They're hideously expensive to build because of all the legal costs in dealing with the public anti-nuclear hysteria...

If you didn't do a double blind test, then you can't conclude anything...
To hell with running UNIX - it looks like it would be trivial to run RSX-11M on this thing...off to the store to buy one...

Mitnick and his partner were skilled VAX/VMS system programmers, with detailed knowledge of the workings of the VMS executive.

Be sure and watch for the DEC PDP-10 with "TILT" spelled out in the console lights, about 3/4 of the way through.
