You have a choice between driving 120 miles (or moving I guess) to work at a perl shop for a 20% bump at a small company or a 66% bump at a large company coding.net.
What I do off work is much more important than what I do at work. With the 66% pay increase I would have much more money to have fun with and have much more money to invest and retire earlier. Big Companies tend to be more stable then small companies so there is less risk involved. Having a 66% pay increase means you can demand more at your next job if you decide to leave that one. So earlier retirement, more spending money, and future higher salaries at the.net job.
Also, a 4 hour commute is nuts (I assume 2 hours each way). That doesn't give you much time after work to do things and means you have to get up way earlier. What I do when I am not at work is much more important then what I do while I work. The less time I am at work and the less time I commute, the better. Of course you could move. Do you like where you live or do you want to move?
To me, work isn't for fun. The purpose of work is to earn money so I can have fun. Don't get me wrong, I like my job and we have great benefits, but, it's still work.
The xmlprc exploits were discovered in July and August of this year. There had been an earlier exploit in September 2001 which probably is what the worm from 2002 made use of.
Ok, how does the above get rated insightful when it isn't true.
"The internet owes it existance to a number of things outside the US, Vint Cerf and the CERN folks as well for instance"
Vint Cerf is American. The internet started as as ARPANET, a US military defense network. TCP/IP was created by Cerf and Kahn who are americans. email was invented by an american. DNS was invented by an American. Most of the protocals were invented my Americans. How can you make the above claim?
"OK. Time to challenge your assumptions. Do you really think your family will be happier because daddy is killing himself over so they can keep up the repayments on the plazma TV, or the second car? Do you think that when you draw your last breath you're going to exclaim "My dear God, I wish I had spent more time at the office!"?"
First off, you are exagerating the situation. He isn't killing himself for the second car or plasma TV. He is working at a higher paying job.
2nd, of course his family appreciates the 2nd car and the better TV. He wouldn't have bought them, otherwise. The 2nd car allows both parents to go different places at the same time, without wasting time taking public transportation. Having two cars is worth it. Of course having a bigger TV is better if your family likes watching tv. So is a surround sound system.
Everthing we do costs money. The more money you have, the more you can do. Want to teach your kid to play baseball? You need to buy the gloves, ball, and bat. Want to teach your kid to play tennis? Costs money. You need to buy the balls and raquets and you also have to either live in a nice community with public tennis courts or you need to spend the money to belong to some country club.
More money means more trips to the beach, more trips to Europe, more cruises. More money means more toys. More playstations, more computers, more games.
More money means better educational opportunities for your kids; you can afford to live in a better neighborhood with better schools or you can send your kids to a better private school. More money means your kids can get tutored if need be. More money means your kids can go to better colleges and universities, without having to spend the next twenty years to pay for it.
More money means a better kitchen if you or your wife are into cooking or it means better eating out food if you're not into cooking. More money means better gifts for your spouse. More movies, more nights in a luxury suite while being able to afford a baby sitter.
More money means early retirement so you can spend even more time with your family. More money means more trips to see the grandkids, more presents for them, more chance to be the cool grandparent.
Why wouldn't you opt for working harder to earn more money? Of course you should find a job you enjoy, but you should certainly find a job that pays the best, as well.
But after 18 years as a lawyer and 5 as a Judge she obviously had money to afford to quit and become a pastry chef. Presumably she has a husband who also make decent money as well.
If you have money saved up you can afford to go do a job you like. But if you don't have money saved up, what's more important; money or a job you enjoy? Your mom chose money for 23 years (though I bet she actually liked the job as well).
You're kidding right. You need backups because reiser doesn't supply good recovery/diagnostics tools. Why would you use a file system that doesn't have good recovery tools? do you really want to waste the time to restore a backup when you could just run fsck?
You need to look at crime statistics for the 50's they had much less crime in back then. Now, if you were talking about the late 80's/early 90's, then yes we are safer today. Here is the homicide rate:
Ron isn't going to die. He will be the new captain of the Quidditch team and in book 7 he will be headboy. He will win the house cup and the Quidditch cup and finally be shown to be the best of the Weasleys, just like what he saw when looking in the mirror in book one.
How does nonsense like the above get marked as insightful?
Saying users and admins are at fault for someone creating an releasing a virus is ignorant. That is as ignorant as blaming a murder victim for the murder for not wearing a bullet proof vest or blaming society for not banning guns or having better law enforcement. It is wrong to murder and it is wrong to release a computer virus. In an ethical society people would release viruses so there would be no need to patch for security. The people who release viruses are the ones at fault for the damage done and not the the users.
I wonder if the users who got infected can sue him for damages? Maybe those of us who were forced to take precautions against him can sue him as well?
According to this topic we are going to have a shortage of IT workers. On the other hand, we've seen plenty of topic saying that all the IT jobs are going overseas. So which is it? Are we running out of jobs or employees?
What about a review of its stability, its security, its speed? All they wrote is it doesn't run linux apps well, it doesn't have zfs, and it won't run in a virtual machine. How was this comprehensive?
"The reason there is a grammar checker in M$ Word is that M$ stuck it in there to have a leg up on competing wordprocessors (long time ago, when there actually were other WP."
This isn't true. The reason put a grammer checker in Word was because Word Perfect had bundled a grammer checker with it (Grammatik if I remember correctly). MS put it in to keep up not get a leg up.
So a minority member of the legislative branch writes a letter to an executive branch employee. Who cares? This won't have any affect. He'll just point to his boss, the President, and say "talk to him." If she threatens to cut NASAs budget, he'll say "Fine, we'll close NASA Greenbelt, MD." Of course it would be an empty threat since she is in the minority in the Senate.
Geez, the only reason she is writing this letter is because her constituants want her to. Big deal
I see. Because the majority don't believe in what you believe, they need to wake up. Did you ever think that the majority of us might actually know better then you? Of course not.
If this is the federal law we are talking about it says:
(a) Moratorium.--No State or political subdivision thereof shall impose any of the following taxes during the period beginning on October 1, 1998, and ending 3 years after the date of the enactment of this Act-- (1) taxes on Internet access, unless such tax was generally imposed and actually enforced prior to October 1, 1998; and (2) multiple or discriminatory taxes on electronic commerce.
It doesn't say it is limited to sales tax. It sure seems like Michigan's tax is dicriminatory tax on electronic commerce. I would love to take this to federal court.
"Most home users want clusters with a centralized home application/file server that can suspend and restore virtualized sessions for high availability (HA)."
I agree Totally!!! That is exactly what I need when I play World of Warcraft, read my email, and web browse. I couldn't do that on just one computer. I needed a whole cluster!!!
What's your perferred mode of transportation? I like using a transporter or my Mr. Fusion equipped Delorian for those occasions where getting there instantaniously just isn't fast enough.
I am a linux systems administrator. I find my job stimulating.:-)
Copyright infringement is a form of theft. You are just taking someone's ideas and hard work instead of physical property. You are not respecting the value of someone's hard work. You want to benefit from someone's work without paying them for their work. It is theft.
