  16. Re:Freelance? on Tech Jobs For a Student? · · Score: 1

    What i've found best is see if you can join up with a local computer repair company; the work may be boring, but i've heard several cases where the company supplied someone with training and money to get certifications, then gave them letters of rec for moving on.

    I'm just freelancing, though -- not really in need of the money at the moment, and it gives you the opportunity to pick your market (I put out flyirs in rich neighborhoods ;) )

  17. Re:So what? on Why the World Is Not Ready For Linux · · Score: 1

    Well, those are the people who should be running windows! With the exception of my grandnma, whose requirements for a computer are very low, I never recommend linux to a novice I won't have to sit down with and teach a bit.

    However, for more advanced users (My dad, for instance), there's no reason not to use linux. Sure, you'll have to install it yourself, give some basic lessons, and occaisionally help via VNC (also great for teaching purposes), it's still a step in the right direction.

    Linux doesn't force you to become a better computer user, but it sure as hell helps, and it really does make you a better computer user if you decided to learn a bit more.

    Linux: for Power Users and their close friends!

  18. Re:I believe in people on Why the World Is Not Ready For Linux · · Score: 1

    Another way to think of this is how many of these problems could be solved via SSH instead of a full remote desktop, keeping out of the users' way.

  22. Re:There is no such thing as bad publicity on Utube Sues YouTube · · Score: 1

    FTFA:
    Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment Corporation said the cost of hosting its website - utube.com - has grown significantly in the last two months.

    No duh. Then again, this is just a $10 lawsuit:
    The lawsuit, filed this week in US District Court, asks that YouTube stop using the youtube.com or pay Universal Tube's cost for creating a new domain. It did not specify damages.
