"This time the buzzword is Ajax and it's moving so fast that you can almost hear the sonic boom."
uhh, I don't hear any sonic booms... it sounds more like a bunch of IT Marketing kacks' heads exploding from trying to grasp what they are now trying to sell.
AJAX is a buzzword. You can update content in your browser without refreshing your page (woo hoo). You can ruin your site by using these techniques in areas that it should not be used (yay). You can decrease your search engine exposure by polluting your front-end web pages with these techniques (that's right baby!).
Great Stuff!
Anyone who buys a book about AJAX is a brainless tool!
This book was released over a year ago. Most of the techniques mentioned are still useful (if you're a.net lamor), but a lot of information is outdated.
I love MS fud, it makes me literally LOL @ work (every day), and when all the.NET lamors that I work with here look at me and wonder why I am LOL'ing, instead of running around in circles trying to fix things (every day) like they do, I just look at them, point at my trusty linux cube goodies, and LOL even more. OMFGROFLMFAO
Seriously, though, Windows is good for morons. The last thing I want to see is the amount of spyware or viruses that affect windows, start affecting linux because of a large (lamor) user base.
Dumb People use MSN or AOL Smart People use Google (or Yahoo, lol)
Dumb People use Windows Smart People use Linux/Unix Rich People use Mac
Long-Term Mission Critical Servers run on Linux/Unix. Short-Term 'get the job done yesterday, who cares if it works tomorrow' Server run on Windows.
These are just my opinions, you can mod me, agree with me, or dis-agree with me, I really could care less what you do.
Peace!
I already hated MS, now I also hate sony... Games?

Bad Day To Be Sony

So I guess I won't be buying a PS3 or a new XBox, any good 3d Linux games out at the moment?
I know this is really not a 'Sony' issue, it is a 'Sony Records' issue, but the fact remains, it's owned by Sony.
I have a Sony DVD Player + ET Center, a Sony Digital Camera, External Floppy Drive, and some blank DVD's, and I will never buy anything from them, ever again!!
These type of corporate strong-arm tactics, are why I loathe corporations! They truly are EVIL!
I always thought Sony/Phillips Consumer Electronics were 'ok' (for the price at least), but I will be encouraging everyone I know to boycott them from now on.
Buying and Building PC's from scratch (even in a large workplace) can save you a LOT of money, and also ensure the best performance (depending upon the hardware you buy).
Dell uses crap motherboards. Crap motherboards cause computers to suck. I wouldn't suggest spending money on something that sucks.
Windows is a has-been OS that is only used by people not smart enough to use linux/unix, or not rich enough to afford a mac.
I developed a Web Application, and then integrated it into 500+ websites for a 'client' of mine.
I was hired as a '1099/contractor', although no formal/legal contract was ever negotiated or signed by either party.
I have since stopped working with this client, but they have in turn taken it upon themselves to modify an existing copy of the code I wrote for one of those sites, and are now re-deploying it to 500+ more of their new web sites.
Shouldn't I be entitled to sue them, or legally demand residual rights to use the code?
I assume not, but I'm no legal expert, and I could careless really, but it would be nice to charge them for the residual use of that code.
How will it improve user experience if the users cant find pages on your site, because search engines can't index them, because you jumped on the AJAX bandwagon, and abused the concept by implementing it ALL OVER the front-end of your web site.
There is a time and a place to use AJAX. Some people do not understand. Oh well.
When I 1st started using Linux, I thought of Slackware in the same terms as I thought of Mandrake (for lamors only!), but after using SuSE, Gentoo, Red Hat, Fedora, and Debian, I was looking for something that I could configure from the ground-up (without all the annoying bells & whistles), to fit my EXACT needs. Slackware did just that!!
Although I could also do this with debian pretty easily, and I still use Debian for Large-Scale Infrastructures, the shear amount of security holes and 12781237912 patches per day, really gets annoying, although I do commend them for such strict security support practices.
Slackware works perfect as a Small Business or Home Network Environment, and is also very nice for clustering (w/ mosix). *Yea, I said it... Clustering with Slackware!! (I expect instant 'flamebait' mod here)*
It took me about 2 years before I was actually tempted to use it as a desktop, and have since ditched windows entirely (at home), with the exception of my DAW.
Now, I think of all the other distros (with the exception of Debian) the same as I think of Mandrake... for lamors only! =p
There are WAY too many reasons why I choose slackware, I don't have time to explain really, but those (experienced users) who use slackware, probably already know, or would agree, it is the best! =p
If other nations wish to have control of their own internet, then let them simply create their own internet.
China has done this, so why can't the EU?
It is our internet, we created it, and we will continue to control it, it's really that simple!
If you don't like us controlling our own information infratsructure, that is not our problem. You should simply make your own, pour some tea, and stfu. =)
Why don't you EU and UN nations who have such a problem with this, do a little bit of your own creative/innovative work, rather than whine about it like a bunch of bitches!
I have worked with variety of programmers, some VERY good, and some VERY bad.
The cases where the good programmers wrote insecure code, was generally due to poor project management, eager sales practices, or just plain bad IT management.
The cases where the bad programmers were even touching code, was due to a poor HR screening policy and hiring process.
All in all, the company should be held accountable, not the individual who wrote the code.
The company is by all means responsible for the staff they hire, as well as the manor in which they conduct business.
If the company hires a bad programmer, then it is their fault for hiring underskilled staff in the 1st place.
If the company has over-eager sales practices, poor project management, or an inaddequite QA process, then again, the company is to blame, not the individual who wrote the code.

Telnet, I agree (with the exception of IRC & eggdrops), should be abolished.
Most (Modern Day) FTP Server Daemons support various encryption algorhythms (SSL/TSL/etc), so any case of passwords being passed in the clear, is a case of lazy (or in-experienced) system administrators.
However, I do agree, SSH/SCP/SFTP is the clear alternative!
Unfortunatly, FTP is still the defacto-protocol for lame-brained website owners who cannot understand how to use SSH/SCP/SFTP/etc.

I figure it would be a contractual obligation to be insane if you take a job there.

Just read the comments below/above!!
Have you ever worked in a mixed IT environment, being the only C/PERL/PHP/Unix programmer in a room full of VB/C#/ASP/.NET programmers?
It's like talking to a bunch of ESL (which most of them are) or Special Ed students!!
They won't even understand the purpose of RSS until Microsoft releases IE7.0, it's really sad!

what's wrong w/ FTP? and why is your site advertising public telnet access?
What are you smoking? =p
That's just asking for people to start forking their (currently GPL'ed) software even more, which isn't really that good in the 1st place.
Nessus is nice & all, but you can write much more advanced programs in PERL, Python, or PHP5 even.
