Ok, since you seem to be so concered, how about you talk about how many people die from useless things like DRIVING YOUR CAR, sun bathing, smoking cigarettes? Over a MILLION people a year die from those 3 things. According to NASA we should stop doing all three of those things because they are too dangerous.
No, there won't! That's the point. Hubble's replacement is scheduled for 2012 and it sees in infrared. Hubble uses visible light spectrum. There is no scheduled replacement for hubble. We can not afford to lose Hubble! I'm outraged, let's just spend 10 Billion USD on football because apparently people care more about that than learning about our universe.
It's all about the advertising. I'm tired of it. Slashdot does JUST FINE without knowing who I am. So why can't NY TIMES figure out how to advertise to people without collecting 4,000,000 pieces of data?
These safety issues are just plain silly. It's the same thing as to why we are allowing our privacy and dignity to be invaded when taking a plane somewhere. The columbia crash sucks, yes, but when did a couple of human deaths ever stop human invention. There are still 6 billion people on this planet I don't think we should stop our science because a couple people died. The next telescope to be put in space won't happen until 2012 and it can't even see the same spectrum that hubble can. The new one is going to be infrared, hubble on the other hand uses human visible spectrum. This is a loss that can't be imagined. Stop playing your silly little games NASA and let us use hubble!
I agree with you on this one. The dot-bubble is the cause for all of this. People saw money in this field and ran for a job. Now that they have been laid-off they still think they can make money in this field because of their experience. That doesn't leave much room for us, the people who have been working on computers since before we could read. I worked on a computer before I watched television. People like me are the ones pining for the jobs because we deserve them. And yes, I do make shit for money so I am most definatly working for the love and NOT the money.
The article states that salaries are possible on the decrease. How the hell can I get paid less? I'm paying my boss to work as a Network Administrator!
I guess they ripped that out on their CD release because I never owned their tape, just had a pirated copy of it. Then when CD'scame out I bought it. Speaking of which, did anyone own anything above a 9th generation punk tape?
I think it's a great idea that artists are trying to fight back against the RIAA. Sure they're German and sure they aren't that big, but it's a stand. Every journey starts with one step!
What kind of crack are you people smoking. This isn't a bad idea, I don't know if *I* would use it but it's still a great idea. You don't just eliminate your passwords on port 22 because you have this installed, it's an extra layer of security on top of more security. You think that because you have 1 lock that 2 locks won't do anything?
8 years ago or so when I first got my cable modem it was quite easy to hack the modems. Most of them had exposed serial ports to plug into. Some providers back in the day left access to their control matrix on the network. All I needed was the user/pass which was the same for all workers. A quick keyboard logger and a service call later and I have root access on the network. Then when DOCSIS 1.0 came out all you had to do was build a linux box and a BOOTP server and uncapped modem again. Then DOCSIS 1.1 came out and changed all that. Now uncapped cable modems last all of about 1 min when the new script gets sent to the modem. If you want fast internet, either get a job at a very rich company or go to school.
I'll have to say that with all the draconian rules being put in place with cable providers that I don't see this as being a new playground for crackers. You'll likely get dropped quicker than you can refresh the BIOS on that cable modem of yours. With DOCSIS compliant cable modems you'll be sure to know that the cable modem company DOES know what you're doing with it.
Just print out a freaking report of what was actually registered in the voting machines database. If it doesn't match up to what you input, get it fixed. Sheesh, how hard is that? Heat registered paper just like at the gas stations, it's almost free.
what is wrong with you mods? How was that either flaimbat OR redundant? It was an acurate statement regarding buisness models of the internet. Whoever modded me down is smoking crack.
Why is it that porn is always a means and a reason for technological gains? It seems most facits of technology are changed and developed just to suit the needs of people's porn habits. First it was ad placements, now ways to circumvent protection for signup pages and now wardriving! sheesh...
Yea didn't you know you could be more hobbier than someone else. Yes, I am the hobbiest person out there. My hobbying is greater than your hobbying, now bow down to you hobbiest overlord!
Yes, I had the very same problem, the first job is always damn difficult to get. I've now had 3 real jobs with now 5+ years experience as a Network Admin. All this with just my Associates Degree in CS and a N+ cert. Trust me when employers look at my experience and then glance at my education. They'll see that I know what the hell I'm doing and I can fix their problems.
I have to strongly disaggree. Of the 99% of ads I see listed for jobs they don't care about school. It's the same old tune, anyone with more than 2 marbles in their head knows that a BA, or MBA or PhD doesn't mean shit when it comes to getting the job done. I might know the full mechanics behind the theory of relativity, but if I can't screw in a lightbulb my ass isn't getting hired.
Work experience > *
During my 11 month unemployment spree I could say one thing for sure. My certs didn't mean shit in the workplace. People just wanted on the job experience, same thing with formal education. The same questions always prevailed, "Do you have any work experience?" I won't bash certs that badly as my curent workplace is offering to fully certify my ass for free... Now, final note, none of this rings true for CCIE's.

no, you got it all wrong... it was the IRS dbase! no h4x0r points for you.
yes, that is so. I misread his comment and was too quick to reply.
oops, you're correct. Terribly sorry for that. This whole subject just gets me riled up. I apologize again.

When are we going to stop publishing NY TIMES articles? I'm tired of having to wait for the hacked google spider link!

I thought we were going to stop reporting on articles posted on nytimes.com. It just goes to further the fact that we don't RTFA!
man, you guys are fast. Already said exactly what I said. oh well.
