Windows 3.0 is NOT 20. Microsoft "END OF LIFE"d that product. It died. You can says its been 20 years since it was released. If you kill a product it does not get another birthday.
When I post a job I first write the entire post with requirements. First I start by saying what type of person I'm looking for. Our culture in our IT dept is of the basement dwelling D&D crowd. I don't want anyone fucking up our Chi. Second I state WTF I'm looking for in a very blatant manner. i.e. Looking for developer who uses vi or emacs. If your going to put down Dreamweaver move along. Lastly I encode the whole thing in hex, base64 or something like that. For my network admin I set-up a dummy box with IP tables using port knocking in order to get the email address to apply to the job. This pretty much insures quality in the interviews.
As for the interviews I don't have tests some random HR jackass can ask. I interview everyone. I show them a project or code and say "How do you do this?"
Good examples: The DVD CD catalog question "Build a Database that stores cd/dvds and the genres they belong to. Whats the best way to see if a file system has changed?
For extra squirm points interview them in a room with a big white board and draw-up the flow of a major project. I find this lets them know just how good our dept is.
This works for me. All my guys own.
Indifference to google losing it mojo. I would like to attack hosted web apps. Never going to happen as long as phone and cable companies continue to provide jenkie bandwidth at ridiculous prices with terrible SLAs. Doubt me, think what driving would be like if your car was in the same condition as the roads. I don't doubt home users will use it because man did people ever buy in the ford pinto. If anyone knows the pinto, you know you would rather be in a manga in Tokyo then a pinto.
I would also look at any contracts you signed with your company. When I worked for a certain insurance company they had a clause which they could fire anybody at anytime for no apparent reason, it is usually called 'employed at will'. Wisconsin employment contracts do not protect from 'at will' employment unlike other states where any employment contract is no longer 'at will'. I would check local laws or be a minority.
Work a billable off-hour get a paid hour off. They accumulate. Overtime pay is retarded. It only depletes your workforce energy. Before I was a manager I was a SysAdmin and was sick and tired of firefighting Sunday night only to have to come in tired as hell Monday and be totally unproductive. Since I made the leap to management and instituted the trade day policy, no one on my staff is tired, over-work or ready to drop dead at their keyboard. As a plus I noticed my employees were willing to stay for that extra mile to insure the fire was out because they could fill out one simple sheet and go home and sleep the next 18 hours and still not have to some into work. Bah, overtime pay is outdated. Might as well put that as/400 back in place and set-up some vax terminals and troubleshoot your boss's new apple IIe.
I never went to school for computer science. I went to college for Philosophy. I had always been around computers since I was six. I started programming basic on the TI-99a at 7. Granted it following step by step out of books, but still the knack and want was there. It wasn't until 1998 when I was introduced to open source and linux that my career path really shifted. Within 2 years of working with Linux and open source software I had become quite sick administrating linux and as a by product decent enough to be trained on solaris. At which point I was hired by a contractor for our local school district as a helper monkey for systems administration. Since 2000 I have made incredible leaps and bounds, improving my skill sets to include networking, virtualization, clustering, and so much more. All the experience I gained was by reading man pages, how-tos, wikis and using the software in a dev environment. Now I manage all IT at a 20 million dollar a year company.
Ok, enough is enough. No big brother will never get a hold of the net FAR too many of the necessary high end IT staff needed to maintain their equipment and networks will revolt for teh love of god I know One in chicago that controls about 40% of the traffic for the midwest would hijack his own network to prevent that shit. I SAY "FUCKING BRING IT ON BITCHES!". We of the tech industry FUCKING control this country and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IF I CAN'T TORRENT SOMEBODY IS GOING TO FUCKING GET KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS, GANG RAPED, GIVEN A SEX CHANGE, GANG RAPED AGAIN, PUT THE FUCKING LOTION IN THE BASKET OR IT GETS THE FUCKING HOSE AGAIN, SO GOING TO DANCE AROUND NAKED WEARING THEIR LOVED ONES SKIN WHILE I RAPED THEIR MOTHER, FATHER, DAUGHTER,BROTHER,SISTER,DOG, HOUSE PLANTS IN FRONT OF THEM WHILE PLAYING NEIL DIAMOND. so by far the greatest threat any organization has on the internet is from thoe of us who allow lusers the privilege to use it everyday. just ask Amy Banse, I bet her mouth still bleeds when she goes poop.
As the IT manager of a medium sized company All the developer posts I write include as one of the questions Emacs or Vi?
Why are we going open source?
- Moving all applications to be web based
- Why? Man are we ever sick of worrying about whether that last patch is going to break all of our software.
- Some of our software will not run on Vista (Damn you small specific vendors)
- Tired of paying money for a Monstrous workstation when all they really need is a web browser and email.
- Tired of re-imaging (yeah fuck fixing or protecting windows) desktops because some CSR decided their dead grandma was sending them porno links from the great beyond.
- Tired of being tied in and locked out of our software.
- No one can customize software for your business like yourself.
- And last but not least. I'm the FUCKING manager and I use Linux. Actually my whole IT department uses either Linux or OSX.
Most arrogant fuck ever. My God what's next. I suppose he'll claim that Microsoft cured cancer because people used office to write their research papers.
license? Do you own your copy of windows? No. You are only licensed to use it under their terms. Do you own M$ Office? No. You are only licensed to use it. If Microsoft wants to change their files on your computer they can. Also read carefully because some licenses of Microsoft actually claim that were you to so much as add any hardware you no longer are licensed and your windows copy will be in validated. I use linux, I don't have these problems. It has never been that Linux was a superior operating system. I mean for the longest time I had to deal with so much shit to to listen to an mp3. BUT the one thing about Linux is Your copy is Your copy to share and to see everythijg it does. Using linux was the first time I could take my Foil Hat off in years.
So what do you think will happen first
a) A news story about this knocking out some user in Europe who Sues M$
OR
b) A cracker comes out with a patch for vista to disable this.
OR
c) China Nukes Redmond (and 1/2 the world) because their government used illegal copies of vista for its missle silos and the missle program assumes a black screen as a major nuclear attack against China and launches.
idk, but I'd give 5-1 on a and 2-1 b and 10-1 c (I still assume China's Nukes are wired into Amigas we sent their for recycling)
Impressive but they had better hurry and work with this kid. In four years he is going to go through puberty with asain co-eds everywhere. I know at that age and conditions working would be nigh impossible.
As a WoW player (On linux yo!) I realize that some kid is not really playing all that much. From my experience I tend to meet people more in my age braket the early to late 20s. Dont get me wrong one of my game friends is 14, but in my interaction he is the minority. I don't think some kid really has money to buy games. It is some young adult raised on atari and nes who are purchasing these games. Some young adult who has a nice job and makes good money where $50 start-up and $15 a month is a drop in the pond. I dont think the gaming industry even bothers with the 12-17 age braket anymore wheres the money in that? At best one game a month? Bah, in my age bracket we buy atleast 2 while waiting in line for PSPs.
The reason for the fast hacker turn-around, said Ullrich, is that attackers are sharing more and more information. "Malware can only develop as fast as it is developing in this case because of extensive code sharing in the underground," Ullrich said. "The only way we can keep up with this development is by sharing information as efficiently.
Read Carefully. The reason hackers develop code quicker then MS is because they share code. Hmmm.. That sounds oddly familiar.;)

I just wish these bots would attempt to identify their targets first. I hate having microsoft specific attacks in my access_logs!
