Meanwhile, as of last week, we STILL cannot buy FIOS in Philadelphia. No matter how much I want to give Verizon my money, they just won't take it.
Unfortunately we live in Comcast Country. Verizon is slowly building out Philadelphia though, you can always check up on the FTTP construction locations monthly at http://www22.verizon.com/about/community/pa/. It looks like a lot of center city is getting it.
Is non-repudiation. I think the 4 clicks is excessive, but one of the whole points behind SSL is to prove that the site you're talking to is the one you want to be talking to. Especially today with phishing, dns cache poisoning, etc it's pretty important to be communicating with a site that has a valid certificate.
Self-signed certs are fine for development or personal use. If you're using it for that purpose, you have to only accept the certificate once and you're done.
Anyways, SSL certs aren't expensive now, so if you have a need for one on your site, just go to godaddy and cough up the 30 bucks and quit complaining.
Just because Google decided to cut a service doesn't mean a protocol is doomed. Get over it people, Google isn't everything. Google could go away completely and it wouldn't change the world much.
That's what I did. Moved all of them to the one end of the frequency (channels 6-11), and set mine to 1. Granted, I only have about 6 signals I can identify.
a mortgage builds equity, renting is throwing your money away. Buy less house than you can afford. Get a 30-year mortgage and pay it off in 10-15 years. You'll save alot of that money, and not have thrown it away in interest or rent.
You're forgetting one major role sysadmins typically fill: 24/7 support
Unfortunately, when your app goes haywire during a batch job at 3am, who gets called? In most IT organizations, it's not the developer, it's the sysadmin. The sysadmin who has to get out of bed and log in. Then attempt to fix the app with the sometimes limited knowledge of how it truly works internally since it doesn't comply with company standards. Once he figures it out and it starts working again, the admin still has to come to work at 9am like everyone else.
It's unfortunate that it has to work that way, but to 'control the gates to the kingdom' is the only way the guy who has to fix something in the middle of the night actually knows what is entering the 'kingdom' that the company is paying his salary to keep online.
This is from the FAQ section of their site. Takes a bit more than a private pilot ticket. Come on, it's a personal jet, and therefore would require a type rating. It would obviously be a lot more involved transitioning up to something that flies this fast from a Cessna 172 or Piper.
This definately isn't a vehicle for a non-career private pilot.
What are the licensing, training and assembly, and insuring requirements of owning a TAERO? Those who proceed with acquisition of the TAERO will be provided with a complete licensing and/or rating enhancements training program as well as a complete ownership and assembly orientation and training program - all in an engaging, interactive, technically supported and resort-like environment. As a bimodal craft intended for operation within the U.S., licensing will require a private pilot license with instrument and multiengine ratings including a Type Rating to act as Pilot-in-Command, as well as a private Driver License, Class R, for motor vehicle operation. High altitude right-seat jet time will also be beneficial. Orientation and training, and active involvement in actual assembly will meet the highest standards of care and will be fully consistent with FAA and DOT requirements. Research is currently underway regarding insurance underwriting for the TAERO, to address liability, property and casualty protection. More information on licensing, training and insurance will be made available to TAERO First Members as these programs develop.

Many companies have you sign explicit NDA/Non-Compete agreements which will explicitly disallow you from doing any outside work. Some will even claim that any intellectual property created as a result of you working outside of work hours will be owned by them. Many people have been screwed by this in the past.
But try to create a playlist on your iPod without having a computer attached to it. Basic functionality that everything else has, but apple wants you to buy new hardware for!
I'm 24, and have been a sysadmin since I was 16. I'm approaching a point in my career now where I'm starting to see the advantage of having a college degree. I know I can do it now, but since I have a full time job, it makes the prospect of going to college a very lengthy one. I'm still going to do it, but part of me wishes I would've started sooner.
Granted, I wouldn't be where I am now, and have the skills that I do if I had gone to college, but I'd be much more prepared for today.
Maybe if you do what you'd mentioned and take courses here and there on the side, by the time you're in my situation(And it happens to alot of sysadmins), you'll have the credits for a degree that can help you get to the next level.
They're actually quite large. The only one I've seen first hand was probably about 5 feet tall, 8 feet deep, and about 4 feet wide. This is a mainframe after all.
I'm desperately trying to hire Unix Systems Admins in NYC, and am having a hell of a time. It seems everyone is either doesn't have enough real experience, or they're already making a fortune and have sweet stock options with a pre-IPO company. There definately IS a shortage of Unix Admins here. That's also taking salaries through the roof. Typical sysadmin here with at least 3 years experience, can get about $60-80k/year. 6+ years, you're looking $120k+. Almost makes me want to start looking for a new job just so I can get a $30k raise. Every recruiter I talk to says they have 20-40 job orders for every sysadmin that walks through the door. It's definately a sysadmin's market here.
I've personally installed over 150 sun systems, had a problem with a couple of components on perhaps a few. Never received a completely dead system though. Perhaps you're speaking of Ultra 5/10 hardware, which I've heard of some problems with. Those are admittedly low-quality when it comes to sun. An Ultra 5's and 10's are basically a Sun ATX motherboard in a PC case. I've mostly worked with the enterprise class and older workstation class machines which have always had a good track record with my colleagues and I. Sun's quality control is quite good, and they are very good with their service as far as getting you replacement parts. Word of advice, if you buy a sun system, get at least the silver level support contract. It costs approximately 5% of the total sale price of the box/year. Which if you're going to spend the money on the sun box in the first place, is worth it.

That's nice.

I have two words for you: Payroll Taxes
That's what I did. Moved all of them to the one end of the frequency (channels 6-11), and set mine to 1. Granted, I only have about 6 signals I can identify.
You can do that without an actual A&P education, or did you already have that somehow?
One word. Equity.
a mortgage builds equity, renting is throwing your money away. Buy less house than you can afford. Get a 30-year mortgage and pay it off in 10-15 years. You'll save alot of that money, and not have thrown it away in interest or rent.
