im still fairly young (mid 20's) and I'm a sysadmin. My tips for getting in to my situation are:- -Apply for jobs in smaller companies -Do the support roles in your early years -Learn anout your job in your spare time -Never stop learning.
In time you'll have the know how to go and command any job you want.
Its also controversial weather you actually need a degree or not. I worked with a degree student in my last job and all he knew was theory. WHen he started he knew what a partition was but didnt have a clue how to partition a hard disk or why you'd even do it in the first place.
Then again i am one of those "taught himeself how to program aged 6" people.
I honestly dont believe you to be frank a lot of people according to this topic use significantly less than their cap varying between 5 and 50GB. Your talking about 2000GB on average a month regardless of how fast your internet conenction uploading/downloading that much in a month is almost impossible for even the geekiest home users unless you were running a really popular website from home that wouldn't put you in the realm of "average" home users.
I'd be interested to see a rough breakdown of your internet usage.
I should hope not!!! Sending a multi billion $ project in to space with no AV and windows could lead to another disaster. Heck using windows alone is too much imagine the control station blue screening on you during re-entry with an "invalid floating point" error:p
Why not, patents become public domain after they've expired, why can't software? The company has more than likely recovered their development costs and the code is likely to be significantly different from one of the later operating systems as not to relase any modern secrets.
Ive only heard a bit about the carbon nano tubes it could be something to reaserch. One thing confuses me though, You talk about carbon nanotubes being the flywheel to reduce weight. But arent flywheels by design heavy and thus can store more potential energy than something that was light?
I dont believe hybrid cars do any good. If anything i think they do more harm.
The batteries in these cars are lithium. I was taught by the physics nut at work that its highly toxic. The facroties that make these things pump out not just carbon but toxic fumes all day long turning the surrounding area in to a wasteland. It ignites in air and to top it off the fumes given off by burning lithum are explosive. The engines are notoroiusly inefficient when running on petrol. The batteries need to be changed eventually not to mention disposed of (very little of them can be recycled). They Weigh a lot! and to top it all off they dont look that nice and are expensive.
I thought these cars were created to prevent damage to the enviroment but to me it looks the opposite: yet another product to profit on at the expense of peoples good intentions and the enviroment it promised to protect.... Back on topic...
I think the flywheel idea is a great idea. It kind of irritates me as I had that idea as a kid while i was playing with my toy cars that had flywheels in... The downside is... you have a heavy metal disk spinning very fast not very far away from you and even closer to the person that you hit in that accident. thatll only spin faster when you try and prevent said accident.
How exactly is it the worst company ever to supply software for the web. I fail to see where your coming from. Dont forget that until a while ago they didnt own macromedia and their neiche was high quality still and moving images which back in the day of windows 3.0 wasn't anywhere near web software.
Your arguement is essentially flawed as this exploit has probably been in flash player since macromedia owned it and yet your blame gets directed at adobe.
They took the open moko device and rebranded it as their own which was fair and legal. What they didnt do was make the source code available for those modifications which is required under section 3 of the GPL. They then packeged their item with a link to the source code but that didnt meet the terms of the license as only people with an internet connection can access it (its a skype device so wouldnt they have an internet conenction to A. Order one and B. Use it) They then claimed the GPL license violated anti-trust yesterday before giving up today.
As for how it was discovered i'm not sure. Im guessing that as they complied with the rest of the agreement they left the copyright notice in.
Really now, Whats the point in that? Surely thats just more inconveniance for yourself at the end of the day as your ultimatly going to re save a few that were already in there. Think hard about it.. your exposing yourself to more risk as the certificate that your saving could have come from an intercepted connection.
Infact although space may be recognised as "cold" the coldest temperature ever recorded was here on earth in a lab at around -260C~ the theory behind absolute zero still as yet has not been achieved and is debateable weather it ever will be as it would have to be devoid of all energy. One could raise the point would it be devoid of all matter too?

Yahoo has a revenue stream? you mean people still use them despite their over cluttered pages and inferior services.

To be honest when was the last time you did some serious X hacking? iirc its never crashed on me but its not started for me countless times.
is is apt.
Your assuming that they pay for them, They probably get them free in exchange for tax relief.
nohing and I mean nothing screams "GET A LIFE" more than virtual worlds with no aim.

The laptops have no net connection

Appologies for deviating from your topic.

Here, Here.
well elaborated.
The word `pwned` springs to mind.

That would be great if you didnt have to reactivate your copy of windows every time... remember there is a limit.

Glorious day
He Did?! I thought he was still the chairman.
you tell them big man! Seriously though SCO can fuck off we all know unix is owned by the starbucks corporation.
"I support AMD right now, and if they got bigger then Intel then I would support Intel."
Although i dont disagree where your coming from, why would i buy something when i can get something better for the same price from another company.
Would slashdotting a telephone number work? Would it be a world first for slashdot to melt a telephone system.

Firstly, Its unlikely to be an EEPROM

Are they still gassing on about this TCO nonsense
"AFAIK America only introduced software patents in the 90s and things have gone downhill over there since then"
In other news, SCO have become the richest company in the world By claiming the patent of granting a patent.
