I agree that SCSI is much more expensive than the SATA stuff. So, we have a new standard: RAID and RAED (Inexpensive vs. Expensive). Pronounced "RADE" and "RED".
Try accounting or HR, which is usually filled mostly by women, anyway (at least in the firms I've worked). Yeah, dealing with debits and credits or with a complaint about someone's body odor is WAYYY more exciting than setting up an OBSD firewall or watching a script kiddie trying to break in. Gosh, can I transfer departments???
Would you please review your "Blue Collar Comedy" tape for the proper use of "Here's your sign"? You're supposed to have a sarcastic remark in counter to a stupid question. I'll bet your programs take FOREVER to correct for syntax... if you code, that is.
Yah... Dude, no need to have a complex about where you went to school. Obviously, you're employed and doing OK. Now, ITT Tech, on the other hand..........
What I've found is that the bean counters don't know jack about IT, which is why they ask us how to save money in the realm of What We Do. They don't teach IT fundamentals in an MBA program - they teach accounting, management case studies, business law, etc...
Except that I went from well paying job with NO undergrad degree, quitting and going back to school getting my undergrad degrees. I'll wind up with CS and Math.
Some things to expect:
Expect that you'll be mentally rusty, but it shakes off after about a month. IOW, you'll have to study hard at first.
Your maturity will serve you well.
Your experience will serve you well.
Take it easy on your nest egg (if you have one)... it disappears quickly.
We've fucked up our nice little biosphere - why not fuck it up some more? Hey! Let's do atmospheric nuclear (nook-YOO-lur) weapons testing for the Fourth of July?? It would be soooo KEWWWWLLLL.
Gyawd! We're so fucked. I'd say that we have about 5 generations left on this planet.
First of all - Bravo to your answer. That guy reminds me of the occasional A-hole you find on the openBSD list.
I'm also a CS/Math (returning to school after 9 years in IT) student and thought that Fedora Core X would make a great OS for any small business... from the desktop to the servers. I plan to try to drum up some business doing this in the North Texas area. You can contact me off-slashdot at ljm at mckevitt dot homeunix dot net.

from the OpenBSD crowd, with your hollow pompocity and pseudo rapier wit. Gee, did you cut and paste your response to misc@openbsd.org so that your other buddies can get a wiff of your mental flatulence? Wow.
In da HIZZY! I'm a student here. Anyway, we have Linux and Windows labs, laptops you can check out in the Library, wireless connectivity in the buildings, wired dorms, webmail, and complete online administrative control (unless we need a sig to register for a class). We also have a VERY serious Math dep't. I'll miss this place when I graduate... back to finals prep now.
Sadly, it came to mind that being an "exotic" in another country might bring about a higher amount of "play" compared to what the cold, expensive American girls will give. Is that true?
Right. dubyah doesn't care, which leads to my contention that he and his buddies are successfully pulling off the biggest robbery in World History. They (dubyah, et al) are robbing the US Treasury and therefore the American people. Boy, Clinton must be PISSED. I know I am. So, the 51% (with the wool over their eyes) who voted for him can pay for this debt.
Gyawd!.. even my wife ASKS if she can spend a shitload of OUR money before she will.
BUHWAHH??? You are on the endangered species list, and you know it. I, too, quit a six-figure job to go back to school to get a CS and Math degree because it was really obvious to me that if I wanted to go on to bigger and better jobs, then I would have to be Pedigreed. To whomever reads this post: don't be swayed by the few degree-less wonders out there. Stay the course and stay in school.
Good to hear! I'm just across the border at Southeastern OK State... I'm sure I'll be down there after graduation. Where did you make your resume searchable? Monster? You can reply to me directly at ljm...@...mckevitt.homeunix.net.

So, you do independant consulting putting in systems like this? How's business?
Yah... Dude, no need to have a complex about where you went to school. Obviously, you're employed and doing OK. Now, ITT Tech, on the other hand..........
So.......
you're saying that you went to Devry, or you don't have a degree??
When are you going to port Office(any version) to Linux?
mybox# apt-get install msoffice

HOLY SHIT! It's just like the game Typhoon, Eurofighter. My favorite game in the world.
Dude! Your're funny!

I feel better now.
Not really.
Why didn't you burn this guy regardless of whether he took your stuff off of his site, or not?? Didn't you hear that nice guys finish last?
I just saw a Discovery Channel piece on the Boof of Revelations/apocalypse. Any theology experts out there?

Fuck off.

p.s. - Fuck off.
I'm being serious when I ask:
how the HELL did you know that??
