    Anecdotal vs actual SUPPORT. This is not "The package may exist and install" but an app that you can get somebody to fix.

    Yes, but their Slackware roots and against the grain ideology (to their credit and detriment) make them quite unlike Red Hat. Also, I think their support is better than Red Hat's support........because they actually......support you.

    Yes, but there are lots of SUSE installs, both in North America and abroad. They use rpms and are usually a supported OS of choice when Debian actually may not be.

    Network Admins do "NETWORK" stuff. They manage routers, switches, gateway devices, etc. Windows jockeys are not Network Admins. They are Windows Admins. They may be Systems Admins. Let's not cloud the waters any more than HR already does.

    You make more mistakes, work more because of them and generally have no idea of what things cost or how much your extra hours of JOLT fueled crap cost the company down the line. I'm not really old myself, but frankly, $50K/yr here is enough to rent an apartment and make payments on a cheap car. Listen to your elders. Sometimes they have more than war stories to share. Process helps. Sometimes, the wrong answer is burning through it. You burn out doing it.

    Depending on what you mean, you are either correct, or incorrect. Sure, installing a mouse is easy. Installing a $WindowsApp is easy. Try writing a mostly idiot proof install script for some cheese sandwich to use to not break their system. Choose the best performance settings for your new $LinuxApp. Yes, it IS engineering.

    The states removing a natural right to defend oneself is irrelevant. If I am attacked, I will defend myself. You simply do not seem to understand the word "Gun." A gun IS a tool. It fires a projectile. The intent is all in the wielder. It is not a killing machine. If you have some irrational fear of inanimate objects, I suggest therapy. My guns have never hurt anybody (unless you count a few scratches I have gotten from cleaning them).

    Also, the idea that a 120lb woman should have to fight a 240lb man who intends to rape or kill her is NOT rambling or incoherent. Guns are an equalizer. A 120lb woman, most often, does not have the ability to fight off a larger attacker by physical force alone. She has the ability to even or even surpass the attacker's ability should she be able to defend herself with the deadly force that a gun provides her. The same is true for even the able bodied. Attackers are not often fair, nor do they attack one at a time. Disparity of force, age and feebleness all can make having a gun advantageous.

    The "both" that was mentioned was in response to your comment about how another item can be used. Your pattern of response is either laughable in comprehension skills or you are simply baiting.

    The point that I made about sheepdogs and wolves is that they are not only there to herd sheep, but also there to protect them from the wolves (predators). It is an analogy, and those require thought. I should have realized you'd have fallen flat when asked to think.

    Ok, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The idea that guns themselves are harmful is one of pitiful stupidity at best and harmful malice at worst. We obviously hard no murder or harm come to people before guns. The idea that guns are harmful is one that a 120lb woman should fight off a 240lb rapist with her fists. The ability to protect oneself or ones family is one to be celebrated, as we are, in the US, a supposedly free people. If some malicious bag of dirt breaks into my house with the intent to hurt my family, I am supposed to roll over and allow them to do so? Both are tools and can be used for harmful and helpful things for mankind. Be kind to those who carry. Their role is to play sheepdog. There are wolves out there, and while you may think the dog is the problem, it is the wolf you should fear. When they do, you should hope a sheepdog is near. They might just save your life.

  21. Re:Tech is still Tech, yucko! on The 'Net Generation' Isn't · · Score: 1

    My first OS was Windows 95 as well. I had barely used 3.1 when 95 came out and my first computer ran Windows 95. I got into a LOT of trouble with it, and I also used AOL. From getting into trouble, such as getting Trojan horses, some of which where password stealers and some of which were deltrees, I learned how to rebuild my OS and how to avoid stupid things and assumptions that I was told and believed, such that if I copied them to a floppy I would not get infected. That was a shock and I moved on. From there, I had an interest and became a tech, even test infecting machines to figure out how to manually remove trojan horses and run and test different antivirus programs. I ran into stupidity (Yes it is stupid) where people stated "I don't run an antivirus and I don't have any viruses), as though they were somehow going to display screen output that says "I infected you." Some did, most did not. I learned DOS in order to assist with removing that malware, and from there, I got into a job that taught me HP-UX and AIX while I played with Linux. I still administered Windows machines, and while I had a problem with how *NIX behaved, as I understood more of it, I liked it more. The frustration was from not being familiar. Once I understood some of the power it held, the pain disappeared and I liked what I saw. Now, A decade+ later, I am a Linux Engineer for a financial company and doing quite well. The need for being at the CLI at the start is not important. Curiosity and persistence is.

    You lost something along the way. When you are doing RAID 5 on an enterprise array, you are likely using 5+1 sets. Your 304 drives does not take into account losing 2 drive capacity every 6 drives. You can get away with global hot sparing, but that doesn't cover your ass as much. You would need 342 drives.
