Yes.

Good news: rsync works as root.
Bad news: After numerous reboots and combinations of user passwords, I'm still only able to rsync using the root account. Next step will be to dig through the user permissions in the device (ssh as root and play with combinations of groups and maybe the settings for ssh in the
Recently bought an Iomega StorCenter ix2-200 for our small office. I've got three Linux machines that I want to synchronize to this device using rsync.
I set the machine up with security, passwords, and so on. Using the web control panel, enabled that "rsync" option (on "Settings|Network Services" page), but that actually didn't do anything -- I get the following:
I do process engineering calculations in some pretty big applications. Many of them are web-based since I'm too lazy to program user interfaces. Side bonus is two of us can work on the application at the same time if it is web-based.
The single most useful thing I can recommend for engineering & science students is SQL. I can't tell you how many people I've seen using spreadsheets for a completely inappropriate application because they don't know how a proper database works.
But SQL doesn't do much by itself - I use PHP to interface with it. PHP has its problems, but it is simple, forgiving, and widespread.
Both these articles are written by cheeleaders for the "stop everything and give me all your money, we've got a crisis" crowd. The validity of the top two charts on the Wikipedia site, for example, are being challenged by sceptics.

Agree. I am an engineer and find myself frequently unable to solve a problem because my pure math skills are not up to the task.
The most useful one is statistics (ok, mathematics profs don't consider statistics a math, but meh). Next most useful is classical geometry (which they don't teach any more - been replaced by trigonometry). Most of the really advanced maths engineers get taught (differential equations, even most calculus) are not useful to most of the daily problems faced by engineers.
The best math course I ever took in first-year engineering was linear (matrix) algebra. Awesome branch of math and useful for computer programming as well (arrays).
I frequently click the ads of companies and organizations I disagree with (eg. PETA, soft) to bleed money from the advertiser to the website. Except I open the ad in a background tab on Firefox, then close the tab without viewing it.
This is the same thing as send back those pre-paid envelopes for 'business reply' to groups I dislike and leaving the envelope empty.
