This Digg vs Slashdot imaginary fight is just silly. Do people go to the book store or the magazine stand and complain that the same topics are represented more than once? Enjoy the fact that you have multiple outlets for information that provide diverse sources for opinions instead of just having a single information clearing house. Plus the competition will keep Slashdot and Digg evolving and competitive.
And right on schedule the litany of comments citing freedoms and accomplishments of the past while ignoring the erosion of freedoms and lack of prosperity of the present. The world sees that the USA is becoming a corrupt and unpredictable monopolistic elitist bully and they don't want to just lay back and be rolled over. When the economy US collapses from over dependence on foreign everything and corruption and it becomes too expensive to run those DNS servers that everyone depends on how can you fault the UN countries from trying to have a little insurance?
Thanks to all who commented for the correction. I haven't actually been in a court for a very long time since my manslaughter charge got dropped a while back. Luckily the hooker wasn't a citizen or I would have been in real trouble.
People either are open minded to except amd understand this or they don't and nothing can be said to change that. As you can see by the responses to your position that we may not recognize life but that doesn't mean it's there is greeted by statements that rocks aren't alive. Most people see the world through very clouded human experience filters that they just can't be shaken from where everything is good vs bad, pretty vs ugly, us vs them etc. Some people just are not capable of grey area and uncertainty. We don't even understand ourselves from a biological or spiritual perspective but somehow we KNOW that there is no life other than what we consider life to be. We expect to effectively communicate with aliens when we can not even communicate with dolphins, monkies or dogs even though they can readily communicate with one another. We have much to learn.
I think that Bush didn't fail at the his business attempts. His purpose was to get in and steal as much for himself and his cronies as possible regardless of the impact on the businesses just like he is doing to America now. He doesn't care how he looks or what people say as long and the billions keeps rolling in. We may call his picks for the Supreme court stupid but those people will vote anyway he chooses so who cares about public opinion when you have the Supreme court in one pocket and billions of dollars in the others. He and his thugs are laughing their way to the bank.
Try to do your "real work" without us. This is why there is such a back lash agaisnt IT people from the non-ITs: you know you can't work without us anymore. There was a day when IT wasn't necessary but these days try to sell something without and EDI infrastructure or without email or powerpoint presentations etc. You hate us because you are threatened by us. The old boys club is threatened by those that are beyond its understanding and control. The world has changed either get technical or get out of the way. I gotta go blog something.. I'm out!
Employers seem to only consider people who can do nearly everything immediately. Skills learned in the IT field are like fruit in a grocery store. You need to keep them fresh on a daily basis and the slightest blemish is a deal breaker. In other fields you can reasonably perfect your craft but IT is all about reinvention and retooling. If you slow down even for a minute your certs, languages and paradigms are obsolete so really this article isn't suprising to find that those old operating systems and machines are relegated to the old junk bin. I woudln't waste my time learning main frame tech trying to get a job from one of those old guys with years of seniority and a scarcity of jobs. IT is just too friggin hard these days.
Anyone who doesn't agree with this is
First, Probably one of those worthless managers.
Second, too inexperienced to realize the truth yet.
Third, Dee Dee Dee
I agree that my successful completion of a college program dosn't necessarily mean that I'm smart but I think that it shows at least that I can follow direction, show some discipline and remember things to some degree. I don't think any more can be infered about my domestic 3.86 or the overseas 3.0. To assume the overseas ability is greater is over reaching IMO.
What I would like to see is a program in college where if you graduate with a very high GPA then your debt is reduced by some portion. Since society benefits by my brain and I've had my brain trained to serve some useful purpose then those benefiting from my efforts should pick up some of the tab. I mean if I have to pay for special ed kids when it means they are slow why not a program for special ed kids that are quicker than most. Scholarships etc are too political. I think that basically if you get an A in a cass then it should be free or reduced by some margin and whomever graduates at the top of the class (me for example) should be comp'd the whole education.
This is why I use Linux and open source for nearly everything. Mod'd xbox, mod'd tivo, linux everywhere. What's the point of being clever and knowledgable if you don't use it to your advantage. I learned from Microsoft and other capatalists to win at all costs and take advantage of every opportunity. You reap what you sow.
I feel so bad for the richest company in the world that there are still some dollars out there that don't belong to them. Please Microsoft catch every single person using XP and make them pay. You can never have too much money right?
Yes it is wrong because this robot was just created and therefore under the age of consent for sex and why shouldn't sex (lude acts anyay since "sex" is impossible) with this underage non-human fall into the realm of legality such as bestiality, incest, pedophilia, necrophilia etc. It's considered perverse to sex up other than a willing, of age, human member of the opposite sex almost everywhere. Please people try to control your base instincts it's just plastic.

I run a network of around 500+ users/computers and I'm not saying this is true everywhere but our IM traffic is around 95% non work related. It's just a bunch of boredom relieving noise. I know this because I sniff, log and monitor all the conversations. Some of the gossip is quite entertaining too.
If you are looking for evidence that Hillary Clinton is unfit to be president or hold other postions for that matter here it is. She spends her energy making noise and trying to change trivial BS instead of working on the hard problems that are actually worth spending resources on. It's better to hold ones toungue and be thought an idtiot than to spam your yapper and confirm it.
Since it's a ridiculous myth and "simple ecomomics" I guess I must then just be stupid which is why I graduated magna cum laude but still got saddled with a huge bill because of my lack of connections and ethnicity.
So police officers need to be thankful to criminals because it keeps them employed? Prison guards should revere and/or have sympathy for inmates? I realize that there is scale and "punishment fitting the crime" issues here but it's hard to empathize or sympathize with people who don't mind bothering millions of people to make a buck meanwhile costing massive amounts of wasted time and money. I feel the same for excessively loud cars be it from the radios or the exhaust systems designed to irritate people. If windows get smashed or brake lines cut then so be it.
Except that they actively work around my filters knowingly and aggresively with the mispellings, fake descriptions and ip spoofing nonsense. Anyone who knowingly pesters people on the milions and millions scale has forfeited any sympathy from me.

You may want to jup in early. It's likely that the early models will be easiest to mod.

In America we are free to spout off whenever we choose. I wish Slashdot would give us a (-1) Attempted Censorship mod sometimes...

Your comment is either SUPER ignorant or blatant lying.
When you are in court they make you swear on a Bible before testifying. That is not having my back IMO.

I would love to finish y graduate work but with a wife, kids, house, etc I just cant afford the 700+ dollars per credit hour.
Unfortunately they are pricing the Universities out of the reach of the populace.
Don't care.. I use Linux. /yawn

Ok I have changed my original position and now totally agree with you so please find someone else to argue with. Thanks.
