How long will there be no active US manned spacecraft - and will this get longer? I am reminded of the gap between Apollo and the Shuttle - and look at what happened to Skylab...
Hmmm, a post from an admin of an ISP saying that he does not have training on his systems etc. A little searching and you can find that ISP - what are the odds that there will be a few misconfigured devices that leave a security hole or two because the underfunded admin never got that information. And then the attacks begin....
I have had a 'study' for years full of junk (as my wife calls it). Now that I am moving I am finding that I need very little of it. Still it hurts to throw it out. My advice:
- Email techie buddys, you never know
- Free buy and see magazine?
- Dump
Wait now - this will trace the IP Address to physical location? But what if I work in a company with my HQ in the US. I get a B Class of IP addresses and break it up internally across the world. Thus even though the IP address is registered as US the user could be in Germany and could be accessing the Internet through Cork? Thus the trace gives the location of the 'Owner' of the IP range, but this may not be the physcial location of the user!
Think about it!
Not sure if this will help but....
You have two kinds of people in an office.
Confrontational people - they fight and bully etc.
Submissive people - the ones the Confrontational people bully etc.
Funnilly the Confrontational people think that they are being Assertive. They are not. That is what the Submissive person must learn to do.
How to be Assertive in three steps?
1. Be honest about what relevant - don't call the other guy an asshole - it is not relevant and makes you Confrontational.
2. Pick you bottom line and stick to it - What is the minimum you need from this situation? Decide that and stick to wanting this. Keep saying what you want again and again and again and again...... it sounds stupid, but the other person breaks down after a while. If you don't do this then you are Submissive.
3. Treat the other person like a human being - simple as that. It shows respect and you should get it back.
Thanks

That is one of the best posts that I have seen in years! I know it was DARPA, so it might have been a wish-list, but hell they may as well gone to Blockbusters for a video!
Also I agree on the Command line stuff. The amount of people who are stunned by Command Line or even worse, think it is 'old' suprises me!

I grew up in Schull, West Cork - don't talk to me about the Bus schedule from there. Two or three buses a day out of the place. One on a Sunday! The day I got a car was one of the happiest in my life - the sad thing is I prefer to use public transport, but it just isn't an option in some parts of Ireland!

Of course my Bank (Allied Irish Bank) just admitted to overcharging customers 14 Million Euro on Foreign Exchange over the last 8 years - so who can you trust!!

Photo and PIN on Cash Card / Credit Card??

RFID MasterCard
·
· Score: 5, Interesting
If my photo had to be on my Credit Card and also I had to enter a Secret PIN to use it - would that stop a load of Credit Card Fraud?? If I am at the store, they compare my photo to me? However I guess some people would not like carrying an ID card (which it could make the Credit Card?) around with them?? Just my two bits (0&1)
John,
Are you from Ireland - bet you are.
In Ireland there is a huge understanding of the awful event in 1986. Today a huge amount of Irish people are working to help the victims. From organising Aid convoys to having Children from the area come to Ireland for the summer to get clean air. A documentary on this won an Oscar this year!! J
What is really cool is the 3D model at http://www4.alzado.net/edparticipar.html
Could you set this up with Doom or some similar game? I could then reproduce a trip from the Burger King near O'Connell bridge across to the Centra - which I do on the occasional Friday night. Of course in this version I could shoot the person who grabs a taxi I flagged etc.
Pow-Pow (Various Gun sounds!!)
I find the best thing to do is walk away from the problem for a while - could be for a cup of coffee or you could sleep on it etc.
Either you look at the problem again and you just see the answer, or you are brushing your teeth and you suddenly have the answer in your head!
Don't ask me why.. IANABS (I Am Not A Brain Scientist!!)
Yeah, I have seen this as well - and all it leads to is employees 'hanging' each other and resentment when you get a crap mark in your review.
I got an Average mark this year - again.
When I protested this, I was told that I was doing the work expected of me.
But I said, what of all the extra work I do outside of what you ask me to do?
Oh, we expect you to do that............
I KNOW that I am a hard worker and do more than that average, and I do it good!
I just give up at that point.
I will be gone from the team in 90 days, that is the deadline I have set myself. I will go to another team or just leave for another job.
They are getting plentiful again - honest!
This sounds familier to me. I did a Computer Science degree in UCC (big Uni in Cork Ireland) and you would not believe the amount of people in my class who only realised what Computer Science was once they were in the course. A lot of them just wanted to 'do stuff with computers' and did not want to actually learn how to code, or build hardware etc.
I guess the best example was when a class mate said to me - 'This class is stupid, we haven't even been thought how to use Windows or Excel'.
I responded with: 'No, here we are meant to learn how to write the next Windows (O/S) or Excel (Applications).
I finished the course in 1999 and got my Degree - and went into a job where no coding was required (Network Security).
However I still find every Theory class useful.
Example, I was on the Cisco Advanced Routing Course and the instructor was covering OSPF (a dynamic routing Protocol). He was of the opinion that no one could know what SPF was, but I knew this from my algoriths course in 3rd year.
My advice to the poster is to understand what computer science is. If they want to do something with Systems and People, then a course like the BIS (Business Information Systems) course at UCC is useful.
But if you really want to know the maths and theory of computers - I recommend Computer Science.
Thanks

I don't know about you guys, but this made troubleshooting a pain for me.
Me: you are not able to access the server?
User: But I can ping it???
Me:Is it giving back (Sitefinder IP - can't remember it)
User: Yes - it is responding, why can't I access it????
Me: Well you see, DNS works by...
User: I don't care, fix it
Me: But........
It seems to me that Dean's Internet Angle really gave him the lead at first. It helped me to notice him, root for him etc. (Couldn't vote for him where I am though).
Now it seems that Kerry etc. are returning to the traditional means as the race advances?
Any views on this?
Thanks!
