I am always surprised how narrow minded UNIX-only admins are. The way to succeed in the IT Admin game is to be able handle the most hardware, platforms and operating systems. The more you learn, the more you earn. Your UNIX experience will pay off in Windows administration as most UNIX admins are used to "getting their hands dirty" whereas a lot of Windows admins I meet are "Next, OK, Apply, Cancel" kind of guys. Plus Windows is becoming more command line oriented (Thank God!).
Unemployment benefits are taxable as income. So the state governments are not the only victims. I am assuming that anyone that is a victim of this scam is liable for the benefits that were scammed. They are going to have fun fighting the IRS because Uncle Sam wants him money, NOW!!!
It's illegal and immoral to receive radio signals being beamed into my home? Damn! Honey call 911, KillShill says we need the Police to haul away our FM Stereo!
I've been a web developer and designer for 12 years. I currently work at Disney Internet Group....Any other questions? Or would you like to continue mocking my technical ability?
Cool you know how to use Dreamweaver! U RAWK!!! I would get into this but a 20 something year old with 12 years of HTML experience is a tad bit too intimidating for me.
Why not? I'm a technically inclined 20 something who would have used this, had I known about it.
Why would the Government need to advertise this if you are so technically inclined? Sounds like to me you would just open your notebook and see an AP that you were able to connect. Didn't you notice it pop up in yellow or red in Kismet? Come on! You're a technically inclined 20 something! You don't need the man to tell you about a free Wifi AP!
Why do taxpayers need to fund free WiFi when you can just get it from your neighbor's right out of the box, default install Linksys/Netgear/Airport router?
Trying to script using cmd, vbscript, wsh, wmi, adsi technologies compared to the userland in Unix systems for core system administration is a complete hassle. I have ended using Perl w/ Win32::* extensions and a lot of backticking and substitutions to get the job done. I will be looking forward to any improvements that Monad provides. I really hope that Microsoft looks toward BSD (Mac OS X) and Linux systems and takes to heart the ease that shell scripting in these systems provides. And for God's sake, make it easier to determine the IP address associated to a printer in a clustered virtual print queue! (Hint: you have to use an undocumented DLL that can only be found in a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory in an unlit cellar with a sign on the door saying 'beware of the leopard' section of the Resource Kit).
If you have your work organized in a defined folder structure, your memory will be faster than any Spotlight search -- especially given Spotlight's annoying habit of searching before you complete the search term.
More to the point, how many of you could actually talk about it if it has/had happened? Without going to jail?
If you did, you would have book deals, tv interviews and surely an advance from a Hollywood studio. Not to mention, the constant companionship of Howard Dean and your picture splashed on the Slashdot homepage.
I am not a huge fan of the Patriot Act but I am less delighted with the silly hyperbole thrown towards it. It cheapens the debate on personal privacy and national security. If this act were as evil in enforcement as it has been expressed, you wouldn't be able to express it.
Ok, if the Patriot Act has had an extremely negative effect on your life, raise your hand. How many of you have had government agents take you or your family to jail? How many of you have stopped posting negative comments about Bush and the US Government in public forums?
RTFA. The announcement is not that Apple is porting OS-X to run on ANY x86 box.
RMFP. I said that Apple is killing their hardware sales for the year. Who is going to want to switch to Apple and buy a Mac running a G5 chip when next year Apple is going to start abandoning the platform?
Now that Apple has announced that it is moved to Intel, who is going to buy a G5 now? I am sure as hell not. Apple just killed the sales of its hardware for the rest of the year. Also does this mean I will be able to buy a Dell PowerEdge 2850 running Mac OSX Server?
Since all modern Macs ship with FileVault as an option for securing their home folders and you also can create encrypted disk images with the Disc Utility tool in Mac OS X, this now can be used against Mac users in a court of law. Somehow, I suspect Bill Gates is behind this. No doubt, in a couple days, we will be see Microsoft ads touting that if you use a Mac, you will go to jail.
After polling 1,400 IT managers and CIOs in SMB corporations, his group found that 48% were not interested in Linux, 15% were not sure about Linux, and only 10% plan to evaluate Linux.
What about the NFS & AFP corporations? Not everyone runs CIFS.
I don't know if I want to trust a part of my retirement to a group of folks that can't set up even the most basic Wifi security. I am sure they even overpaid for the access point...
Insightful? Murdering politicians that you disagree with? I guess when you are unable to come up with an intelligent rebuttal to a political argument, violence is a natural alternative. Sad. Makes you wish abortion could be performed retroactively. (j/k)
According Bill Scannell the streets will be littered with dead cops and illegal aliens running over everyone else. Legislation like this wouldn't get passed if its opponents weren't such hysterical, over-the-top, chicken littles. Something needed to be done about the licenses in this country. Because no one had a better alternative besides saying the sky is falling, this is what you got. Until you can start acting like an adult in your opposition, you are going to get this sort of legislation.
In 1978 (1977?) wrote the episode of Dr. Who called "The Pirate Planet" staring Tom Baker and that thing on his lip. It includes Polyphase Avitron. Guess what that is. You can see HHGTG bubbling beneath the characters.
Instead of trying to protect consumers from companies, he should be going after the NY Legislature to protect taxpayers. I screwed more often through NY State confiscatory tax policy than I have ever been through a screen saver. Consumers can always protect themselves from this threat, citizens cannot protect themselves from a gerrymandered state legislature with a inept RINO governor.
According to Slashdot no one is buying the PSP even through I can't find a %*&#!-ing one at any store I visit. Damn, I should have acted like a fanboy and pre-ordered back in January like the loser at Game Stop said.

Weird, I didn't notice it at all!

The proper term is "learning disabled simian".

Wow, they cut workers on both sides of the fulcrum. Sweet!
On a side note, doesn't ZDNet have a spell checker?
