If you end up doing the really interesting stuff at a university (planning the next big number cruncher), you pull down a little more than what entry level corporate folk make. It's a trade off; more interesting work and less profit motivation (ie better equipment) or more money for yourself personally.

solution =/= medium.
I'd trust a RAID array with my backup data (from dump/tar/rsync/FOO via secure tunnel) before I'd trust a lot of other storage mediums. I agree, mere RAID does not give you anything close to a real backup (for one, there's no restore feature), but using a second machine with a RAID array to store your backups isn't that bad of a solution. If you see RAID and backup in the same sentence, it doesn't always mean that someone is suggesting RAID 1 as a backup method. RAID arrays can replace tape and DVDs as the storage medium in cases where huge amounts of data need to be written in a limited timespan (not everyone gets to only backup a couple tiny files in their nightly incrementals). They can also act as intermediate storage aggregators, quickly sucking up the backup files during the night for an hour, then slowly shoving them onto tape for the other 23 hours of the day.
And... Always Test Your Backups.

It doesn't keep your data any safer, since corruption is replicated immediately anyway.
I know it must seem like it sometimes, but physical failures don't replicate from one HDD to another. And bit-errors are what ECC RAM is for (Yes, I know, ECC RAM can't prevent errors on the RAID card, but it doesn't prevent errors with a tape writing device either).
RAID may not be the best backup medium, but it is _a_ backup medium. As long as your RAID machine is physically separate from the machine you're backing up, you're doing well. With incremental dumps or rsyncs or even just regular tar'ing you're doing a lot better. Bonus is that you don't have to buy a tape or CD-changer robot.
This makes sense with telephone switching, but packet switching? It's more like 28 people using the machines, taking breaks occasionally, then getting back on when other people are done (using a FCFS scheduling algorithm). The worst the fitness company could complain about is that these 28 people are causing "undue stress" to the machines (which is ridiculous anyway).
Long empty roads only appear empty. There are even safer places to text in the car: Stopped at the side of the road or parked in a lot.
BTW, did you know driving instructors _do_ frown heavily on touching the radio while in motion?

"I go to microsoft.com they have a download center" HUH? Cince when does the Head executive of the company refer to the company as "they" instead of "we"? I have never seen it even down to the grunt level. I do it every time I put myself in an outside user's shoes, which is what Gates was doing here. Or do you think the writer really believes Gates installs (and buys?) his own software on any of his computers instead of calling his secretary to call his dedicated IT guy to push the software to his machine.
but from the creatures point of view it's all down to propagation of their DNA I'm not certain, but I think humans are the only beings that view any actions as propagation of their DNA. When a rooster sees a hen it likes, do you think it _expects_ chicks? I surmise it only has an urge to mate. Just like the lions have an urge to kill the cubs, and the ants have urges to fight the other ants.
I'm curious though, if humans did similar actions for the express purpose of propagating their DNA over others' would that be ethic-neutral in your eyes? (Yes, I'm purposefully trying to invoke Godwin's law here)
And it's not because it's nerdy. It's simply because its about maintenance of poorly-designed code. You might as well call it glorified janitorial work.
In contrast, creating new network layouts, increasing performance on a cluster, having N different desk jobs plus a little manual labor for variety, as actual systems and network engineers do -- that's interesting!

Lions kill cubs sired by other lions. Penguins and monkeys steal babies from other parents when their babies die prematurely. Ants wage war. Almost all female mantises engage in cannibalism.

Well? What exactly is contained in there that would cause someone to think that this post had any useful information in it whatsoever? "I have nothing against nuclear power, [...] With proper designs, regular inspections, and a safety-first mentality, nuclear power is clean and safe. [...]"
There was useful content in there, you just had to ignore the insanity. "criminal evasion of government regulation" can happen no matter which party makes the regulations, and I'm sure that the regulations would be equally stringent from both sides of the aisle. Oh, wait, "would be"? Aren't they already in place for all the nuclear reactors we _do_ have? You were correct in saying that GP was a troll, but it was a troll with some slightly useful content, like how the most effective lies are the ones that are mostly true.
Americans tend to live not too far away from where they work, just as they do in Europe Not most of the Americans I know. 60+Mile (~100km) commutes are not uncommon. And I know some people who live in Washington D.C. (east coast) but make regular flights to the west coast for work, much longer than 100km.
Mass transportation doesn't fit with Americans' [innate/learned] "rugged individualism". If we're halfway between point A and point B, and decide we want to go to C or back to A instead, then we don't want to be beholden to the rest of the passengers on a train/bus/plane to do it. Sure, we'll hold our noses (sometimes literally if it's a subway) and use public transportation when necessary, but lots of people drive their own cars all the way across the country when flying might be cheaper.
Can someone write an open source facebook and myspace GPG key creator/signer/[loader of pubkey onto keyserver]? This is the only way I can foresee getting the masses to participate in the web of trust, by using a web of trust that they already use. Add it onto several OMG Ponies apps.
Of course, the myspace generation uses myspace/facebook messages for their email, so it's a pointless venture.
It comes from years of playing Paladins. The people in the 1/3 were either players of Thieves or DMs, whose thought-habits were trained in the ways of Neutral-Evil.
accessed information that was not relevant to their role This does not imply snooping, or even anything wrong. In a large organization with well defined roles, it's easy to step into someone else's turf while still doing your job.
Regarding the 1/3, does that include sysadmins in small shops tasked with reading through the near-miss SPAM? I had to do that for a while, and it left a bad taste in my mouth whenever I saw a real email (strange considering the SPAM should have made me want to use LAVA soap on me eyes). Did it also include Information Security departments, whose job it is to snoop judiciously?
That sucks if you're a student in a computer lab with Deep Freeze but no Firefox.
