I replied to the 45K a year job offer about 2 months ago. Called and got an interview the next day. I knew something was fishy the second I saw the application. There was a line for "Fees".
Once I started talking to the guy and he asked me a few questions he started pushing all these classes and tests I have to take. Then gave me the stupid networking exam. "What does HTTP stand for?" and "What does FTP mean?"
What's really sad, the guy interviewing me didn't even know what slashdot.org was.
I am going to miss my cable modem too. Imagine the loss of bandwidth to the bloated aol client... My RR service has been almost flawless, tech support, great, full newsgroups with excellent feeds, and very few problems with their network. (ignore the people who say RR has a faulty TOS, they do not know the truth)
Now look at netscape, any mirror you pick goes to a very slow aol server, same with winamp. I can not find either of those 2 programs on anything but very slow aol servers.
If my RR service goes down the tube, which i totally expect it to do, looks like i have to buy a new house and get DSL.
The content on Linux Today goes above and beyond/. content. Rob has the interface down, but lacks a good flow of news stories. If you notice, most stories make it first to Linux Today and then are rehashed on slashdot.
My dream linux website would be slashdot backend with Linux Today content.
Offer a licensed software engineer position for companies that require engineer quality. That does not mean everyone has to be licensed.
When i was in school, the term 'engineer' ment you were licensed and had many years of schooling. Now the term is losing meaning. Anyone and everyone is tacking engineer on the end of their title.
I've read the comments but not the story and most people are saying NO! That is very closed minded. Most gpl authors have full time jobs, usually programming. Just because some companies want licensed engineers does not mean that's the end of gpl software.
I am all for licensed software engineers and I would love to see the end of the engineer word abuse. Especially from Microsoft!
Slashdot Mirror
