I hate to be pedantic (okay, actually I love it), but given the various costs of an FTE above salary, $80k/yr would probably translate to what, $50k of salary? Seems low for an engineer today.
In these parts, I suspect that these days few workers would be caught dead drinking office coffee, favoring the daily ritual of going to a coffee shop and competing to see who can use the most words to order their $5 coffee drink.
Mind you, I can't stand coffee and haven't worked in an office in ten years, but I can extrapolate based on my wife:D
I paid $12 in Bellevue WA. Desperately wanted popcorn, but despite being thronged, the place only had 1/3 of the concession counters open, so the line was absurd.
Nobody wants to go to the cinema any more.
Maybe they just want to avoid eurotrash who go out of their way to use the word "cinema" and talk about "attending university" rather than going to college.
My first thought was "How do they know it's liquid and not solid?" Ice would reflect too, no? Do we know for sure that the temp at the surface is > the freezing point?
I'm not so sure that schools buy machines that old, but I've seen plenty that clearly hang onto their systems that long / as long as they possibly can, moving them down the chain as they age and newer models trickle in. It doesn't take a lot of resources for a 5th grader to punch "declaration of independence" into a search engine.
How many man-weeks did it take you to hammer LaTeX into working, though? Since you write "beautiful" I have to assume that you broke from Knuth's view that the only typeface in use should be the bundled Computer Modern, and thus went through the nightmare of getting postscript fonts to work.
Something of a tangent, but a regional NSP that I worked for in the 90's was very close to using NASA as an upstream provider to add diversity to an existing MCI (or was it Sprint?) DS3.
I do have some (very small) sympathy for a company that has seen a 5000% growth in data traffic
I'd like to see the demoninator in that calculation, ie., my first-blush response to that figure is to suspect that three years ago they had very few people using a service that wasn't very useful on crummy phones that couldn't be tethered.
Samba hardy "ended up on unix systems to replace NFS". Samba is useful for serving files to MS-OS clients in part because it's often easier and more effective to implement compatible software on *ix systems than to try to hack actual standards into MS-OS. Ever suffer through PC-NFS?
Samba *in my experience* is useful, but abjectly slow. NFS is still substantially faster, again in my experience.
Nice project, but it'd be more useful were it merged into the stock OpenSSH. I experimented with it once -- speed gains from the window/buffer patches and the multi-core cipher were modest, and I never did get the poorly-documented "none" cipher to work.
Aye, we hates teh knotweed. I once dug a bunch of roots up and left them in a covered trash can in an unheated metal building in the winter. The shoots grew 6' tall and pushed the lid off. I fought the stuff for six years on that property -- the former owner *planted* it because he thought it was bamboo.
If you hire a system admin, however, they should know the OS at hand or they SHOULD NOT BE HIRED. Period.
A shitty Linux admin is just as bad as a shitty Windows admin.
1) This is kind of a Catch 22, no? How does an admin get experience with $OS unless he's allowed to be in an environment that uses it? I've seen FAR better results over the years from hiring admins who demonstrate an understanding of good practices and how to address problems and find information compared to hiring admins whose resumes claim experience and meaningless certifications. 2) Linux is not an OS. It's a kernel around which several hundred >different OS's are cobbled together. You're saying that someone who knows Debian shouldn't be hired into an RHEL environment. That's needlessly limiting an already limited candidate pool.

Give it another year and all three shall come to pass.
Muammar al-Gaddafi (or however his name is spelled this week) seems to have come to that conclusion, but have you heard of North Korea?
There, fixed it for you. (Hey, this is /. after all ;) )

I've never understood why someone would want to hassle with the server stuff.
Am I the only one who's tired of this hipster "fail" crap?

Template files don't automagically create a functional software installation.

But in the end, unless your going to buy a house or a car you don't really need up to the second data on your report
But in the end, unless you're going to buy a house or a car you don't really need your report at all.
There, fixed that for you.
.. unlike the 3C501, which was a nightmare. Couldn't handle back-to-back packets as I recall.

Oh yeah, that "Clever venting" worked out so well for the original 128K Macintosh after all.

Given the number of faked fossils that come out of China, I tend to be skeptical of these stories.
Are these the folks who decided it was a nifty idea to import cane toads?

Why not? They're certainly responsible for the absurd cost of housing here.
