  1. certifications? on How Did You Become a UNIX Administrator? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Certifications are useless! Unless its a Cisco or something... Education is worthless too! The one thing that has helped the most is experience. Get an entry level job and offer to help out on more complex things as much as possible.... Anyone with a BS and 100 certs will not be able to do the same job as someone thats got one year of practical experience.....

  2. FCUK! on Sprint ION's $100/mo, 8Mbps Home Service Tanks · · Score: 1

    This is my third provider in 1 FING year!!!!!!!!!! I love my ion. fast, nice newsfeed, no qwerst...... guess I am gonna drop another 200$ for broadband........

  3. Linksys... on Choosing a Router/Firewall for the Home LAN · · Score: 1

    My linksys worked great on my slower DLS, but with my faster DSL(4MB/1MB) it would lock up alot with high traffic, either on the WAN, or the LAN. Its a know issue and no resolution as far as I know...
    Ipchain and Iptables have worked ok for me so far..

  4. Altavista on Searching For Google's Successor · · Score: 1

  6. Megacar is sooo old... on 16 Cell Phones In Parallel Net Access · · Score: 1

    I heard about this about 2 years ago.... Whats the big deal?

  7. Exam cram or ebay on Open Source Cisco Certification Study Aids? · · Score: 1

    I read the exam cram book and took the test. Very indepth.
    I also bought 3 routers and a switch from ebay, which is the best way to get your hands into the stuff. It takes money to make money afterall..

  8. The worst service ever...... DirectPc..... on Linux and Satellite Internet Services · · Score: 2

    I first had this service 4 years ago. Living in a city with no high speed access of any type. At first the service was great, I could download at speeds close to 300Kps. It was not good for anything that required a low latency, I.E. games, telnet. But eventually they got greedy like every company. Hughes implemented the FAP (Fair Access Policy). This basically restricted download speeds after a certain amount of time or amount downloaded. That was the problem that they never explained what they were basing there rules on. It would just slow down to modem speed after a while. I could download 3 gig a month no problem before the FAP but after I could never download anything over 30 meg. It would slow down the download and then never resume the max speed. It was the most frustrating thing ever. There tech support is the worst, responding to every problem with "reload the software". I would not recommend it to anyone except for the newsgroups software. They have a newsgroups feed streaming 24/7, and you don't have to be online to get it. Just setup your win9x box and it will capture the groups and save it. Then you can connect to your local box with a news reader and browse the groups all off-line. That was a cool feature, but not work the other headaches.....

    Your results may vary......
