I think the major point is Osama and his mates are happy to be the delivery and detonation mechinism , first world nations use high teh delivery systems - cruise , GPS bombs ect
wankers like Osama brainwash their people into doing the job personly , alot easier
it will be the developing world were this will come into its own , we already have cable / fiber in our major population centres , imagine pleaces like central africa were you could theorecticly provide service to the entire area,
this is absolutly unreal in terms were this could take us
prob get top of your class , but you will prob get pissed of one day climb a clock tower and start shooting people.
PC can be a great learning tool , but not at the expense of social skills ( 4 hrs + of HL2 does not give you social skills )

lack of exerise , fitness , climbing trees's ect
I have mates that have CS degrees , MCSE;s you name it , i have F all but im a network manager ,

But combine that with a service attidude , I can communicate , i dont have deviant lifestyles ( well at lest nothing I bring to the office )
Im honest
I dont chat up the chicks
I get the job done , follow up and treat my punters like they are my family
That is why i get payed lots dont get greif and do a good job ,
last person in my job was ciscoe mcse and all the rest , but turned up pissed after lunch and would attempt to shag every women in the office .
Hi
The french govt at the time had a modern army with modern weopens ect.
Comopared to the german army at that time they were far more advanced.
They got catagoricaly dorked by the bliztkreig technices pionered by Rommell ( i belive the usa army got dorked in nth africa the first time they went toe to toe with the nazi's )
the major issue for the french was putting all of their eggs in one basket called the maginot line. ( history has a habit of repeating itself )
What i dont understand about the anti missil interceptors lasers ect , is whats to stop a correctly motivated idiot from sailing a cheap boat into a coastal city and hitting the button ? why go to the expence of building a ICBM , its alot cheaper and easier on the enginnering to sail it.
Like the knights in the middle ages who learnt that longbows would penetrate their armour , the loonies will just find another way ,
Please learn about the 2nd world war before you type
ahh the good old days of going to my mates place , hitting the play button , going ouside for a bit of backrayd cricket , coming in 30 mins later , relise the tape had stuffed up , redoing it... memories
Anyway who cares if a effectivly configured array of high end desktops is just as effective ,
who cares desktops dont have
lotsa blinking lights
alot of geek street cred
a requirment for 3 phase power to your house
its like looking at a rolls royce from 1920 yep the car is decidly low tech but boy was it engineered well , nice engineering for a mech. eng. is like a nice painting for an arts grad
when i was a student ( im an aussie ) i used to sus out were the wrinklies would go shopping.
no one beats 75 yr old + at hunting ot bargins or knowing when the supermarkets heavily discount their meat.
grow your own vege;s ( its not hard and they taste a lot better
go vegetarian , better health better food alot cheaper
im glad you at least respect the quaility of teh writing you may not respect its editorial slant but they are excellent and highly skilled journilists , just to give you an idea of some of the more "intelligent" responces of your countrymen....

Insidently as an Aussie I cannot comment about how the average Pom would feel about you sledging Tony Blair but I cant see them giving a monkeys,
Please tell you mates to slag our prime minister of as much as you want , we think he is a tool as well.
Hi Mate ,
yep its your choice but as someone who rides every day , car drivers/pedestrians/dog ect are idiots one day you will hit the ground,8yrs no accident and then wham
trust me you want your helmet , after i hit , drunk girl stepped out in front of me , i split my helmet in two pieces , i got up , no helmet if i was fortuante i would have died otherwise i would have spent teh erst of my life drinking thru a straw
no mate what you did in vietnam , laos and cambodia was called boxing , your planners worked out a box cant remember th exact dimensions and dropped the load on it destroying and killing everything .
not nice at all.
hello you yanks are the suckers , good god in oz we wuld never put up with this 80 hr week shit
f me the winging and wining that is going on I thought the poms were bad f me .
and two weeks holidays you get a year , congrats on being in the land of the free , free my arse mate there would be blood pouring down the streets if they treid to reduce our hols from 4 weeks minium
and as for being called out for 2am serevr f&*kup jesus if i answered the phone i would tell whoever to get a life and i deal with it in te morning
and by the way i worked in the UK with a lot of asian's pakistanis , indians - you name it great guys hard workers
dont have time to look f*&^n win2000 eng , but im trying a similar setup byusing a inverted dish positioned near the plant with wires and a current passing thru , when its wet circut is complete ( no water ) and when its dry water spays .
still faffing about with it but lotsa fun , kinda of an overkill for my vege patch....
you now mate, there are times when the rest of us on planet earth ( not americans ) really belive that you lot are a bunch of ignorant yokals intent on turning th eplanet into a parking lot.
You sir give us hope , keep questioning , keep thinking , dont let the bastrads stop you
good on you
im amazed by all of the respones from the guys..
My current manager is a women , she has been in the field since the days of punchcards and other antique stuff , she is excellent , technically up there and a very good boss , no bullshit and i have a huge amount of respect for her
an ex girlfreind has a Phd in maths very smart and on the ball , far more employable than alot of the dweebs in her class
I have sevaral mates who attended compsi at Uni and were the only girls , one of whome is very striking , amazingly enough they were judged on their looks as aposse dto their abilities , they are now in high level positions why the guys are cleaners or some such rubbish
this is the 21st century all jobs and all skills are open and should be open to what ever gender wh gives a monkeys what your sex is , are you any good and do you dig your job
saying that my last job I had the worst boss in my life who was/is a women , an incredibly bigoted nasty peice of work
I did mech eng at Uni well 2 girls graduated out of 45 guys,lets say lunchtime conersations were pretty boring , what did i do to my v8 this weekend .
i personally believe it is important to incorrage girls into science field for the same reason that it is to encourage boys into traditional girl jobs like nursing and teaching , it breaks barriers down and created diversity
im a bloke , but i agree with your points , it amazes me that these twits eyes glaze over or their hormones kick in when they speak to women , jesus..
think of it this way , dweebs with that attidude will go nowwere but the basement
I agree with most of what you say,but there are componenets that make a huge differance .
Clipless pedals , shimano SPD's in my case but a non cleated bike rider has zero chance of o/t me.
Cleats make a huge differance especially up hills.
Disk brakes are fantastic if they are hydralic ( far better modulation ) and you use them for the purpose they are theee for , downhill , off road mud and snow, then they are great , always stop , less damage on your rims ( why its very important to check for forein matter under your brake pads if you have Vee's as rim damage will follow.)
What disc's are silly for is normal day to day riding,they are heavier and more complex ie more expenisve to maintain .
If you are purchasing an average bike , runabout , commuter youwould be crazy to get disc's because at that price point you are not getting quaility
carry a GPS beacon.
In australia it is possible to hire or purchase a GPS beacon , get lost,injured ect press a button and search and rescue no Exactly were you are.
advantages
- cheap - only sends a location is not a nav aid ( get your compass out instead
- light weight ( you can carry more wine in your backpack
- no one is tracked were they are ( no paranioa )
- small setup costs , no expensive infrustructure to build in potentialy sensitive ecological area's
- if you do get lost , they send the people directly to you as apposed to searching around a large area.
- your sensors unless placed everywere will only give a rough location.
- service and upkeep , the hikers break it,they mend it
I agree 100 % mate,most of my users are technological dimwits,woever that makes them far from stupid. I am here to fix their issues not go on an ego trip.
I was riding my bike on the weekend with a freind who is an ambulance office , we looked at a girl riding with her helmet hung over her handlebars , he looked at her in frustration and told me that they are nicknamed "roadkill" in the ambo service , every proffesion has idiots just laugh at them and look at them as job security.
Sadly a job as a sysadmin requires that you deal with anything from users who have a clue and can be trusted to those who you whould rather issue crayons to.
I love my job , i am lucky , i have a multimeter , soldering iron and cable tester on my workbench behind me. I am a one man show and yep i have to reset password's and do tape bckups , but i also get to do the fun stuff as well. Dealing with users is about education, find out what they cannot do and try and work them in the right direction imposible sometimes but another challenge

If im navigating out in the bush I use my map and compass , seriously , GPS systems are for girls who cannot navigate.

usualy when you underestimate the abilities of the coppers you end up in jail
