This may be the only way you'll get any kind of AT&T Reception for your nifty cool iPhone in Manhattan...assuming that it's an AT&T Tower pointing at you, of course.
Have any or all of them and $0.75 and you might be able to buy a cup of coffee at 7-Eleven. Seriously, I have a few, didn't pay for them myself, and wouldn't ever pay my own money for them, nor would I pay for one of my employees to go waste time there.
If you missed the Dilbert about, 'I summon the powers of certification'... go find it, it hit this right on the nose.
Hands on, reading the f*ing manual, figuring it out in YOUR network situation, calling tech support, etc. is better, cheaper and more worthwhile than any certification you could pay for. Those classes just digest the manual for you, then give you a few brief labs on basic stuff that you will need to modify, extend, get help to do, back at your office anyway.
Call this # 1-888-567-8688, and it takes you out of all four major credit reporting company lists.
You go through an automated process and they take you off their lists for 5 years. I did it this afternoon after getting 5 offers for credit. Too much junk mail and my poor shredder is now smoking.
I woke up to 32F this morning just 20 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, Snow was just a few miles north of me. November has been very chilly here as well with January not looking much better with a good chance of snow for us.
Global warming my hairy ass! I'm sure we could all use a few degrees of warming here and there even if it were true. Folks we're coming OUT of an Ice Age! IMHO, I think it's mostly from all that hot air from those 928 blow hard academic types presenting their papers.
200k new Computer Science Graduates a year in India, only a couple thousand here. That nice new campus that EA opened in Marina del Rey, CA...hmm, guess they won't need it much longer.
I agree they need to try to get a handle on OT there, but some balance needs to be achieved or they'll take the easy way out and end up doing most of the programming/design/etc in India or Eastern Europe.
Hell, I won't USE IE at all on my online banking, online trading, or anything important unless it requires it which the only thing I've found lately is the US Dept. of Ed site.
Great Browser, no headaches, gotta luv the extentions and skins.:)
The store is nice, listening stations are okay, selection is very limited, a lot of people I had never heard of along with a small selection of more popular groups. The interface that they use to allow you to select your songs for your CD that you'll end up burning is a touch screen with a push button stylus. This is really clunky and very hard to make your selections. The one I was trying to use was wonky and very hard to select things on the touch screen. I had to click several times to get it to make the choice, some times it queued up a bunch of clicks and well, it was just too frustrating to finish the CD selections and I gave up. I'll take ITunes or something online any day.
2.4 Kernals are still being widely used in applications that are doing real work for real world applications. Just because the bleeding edge is well into 2.6 doesn't mean the rest of us who have better things to do besides compile kernals on a nightly basis need to upgrade. A lot of applications require stability, long periods of time that you can't make major changes so as to not upset the development or even production envionment.
RedHat is just trying to keep their Enterprise customers happy and patched with security fixes and some minor feature enhancements. Like it or not, they are a real company and have to make real $$ which means they have to listen to their customers who pay that $$$. The customers can't or won't upgrade to the new 2.6 kernals right away, they need to bring it in-house, test and redo their programs that are running production databases, programs,etc.
Hell, RedHat 8.0 to RedHat 9.0 is painful enough for most folks. Now going to RedHat Enterprise or SUSE or Mandrake..etc. That's painful, read expensive in time and money.
Get over yourselves.. I can compile customer kernals, but frankly I have a lot more better things to do with my time. RedHat knows this..and they're helping their customers do the job of actually getting business done.
I'm thinking of starting the process of going to a 2.6 based distro probably sometime in the Fall. This means it probably won't be in any production server until after New Years at the earliest.
Screw factory installed Linux of any flavor. Why in hell would you want that? I think what you really want is much better support from hardware vendors to supply better, faster, easier to install drivers for their gear we pay them for that work on Linux. This includes Dell, IBM, HP, Sony, ATI, Nvidia, et al.
I can't understand why anyone would need to download even a 'bit' from their ftp site. Isn't anything that they might have there somewhere else already anyway?
I couldn't understand why anyone is still a SCO customer, until I ran into TWO old SCO boxen that were running a phone system at a VERY LARGE University recently. One of them had failed and the second one that was supposed to be the failover...didn't. I asked why they were still using this trash. Nobody knew and nobody knew how to fix them, but they were dead in the water without them because these boxes were tied to the phone system and they did all the proprietary logging of all the calls so they could do their BILLING!!!! *BOGGLE* I offerd to help them find some newer software or even write some new stuff on a Linux box, but they declined and just called SCO to help them out. I told them "Have a Nice Day". I have no idea if SCO actually answered the phone and helped them or not.
Some people you just can't help. You do what you can..then you just have to move on and let them die peacefully as they can. They just don't want to change anything. "Fear of Change"
These are the same investors who will be *SHOCKED* *SHOCKED* I tell you...that they lost *ALL* their money in SCOX when they wake up one morning and McBride and company are walking out in cuffs and they put a big lock on the door.
It's truely amazing after the last Tech Crash we had that any one can run these kinds of transparent schemes for more than a month.
These people and the folks that lost all that $$ in the.Bomb era just sitting on their money and not waching it..deserve what they get.

Why do I need to buy all those again, if I buy, I'll probably buy via iTunes, but I've got a large catalog already purchased. This isn't shunning.
In reference to a recent User Friendly story plot line...
:) I totally agree, Jobs isn't that dumb.
Nicely done though..
I think Cringley was just offering some wishful thinking, not really expecting it to happen. I doubt he'd take that bet, even for $1US.

Great.. Now M$ has the code and will include it in the next patch, no problem. Thanks for all the fish. :)
