Comment Re:Aluminum cans? (Score 1) 120

Your memory serves you well, the aluminium cans did not take off until the late 70's early 80's when the technology needed to recycle them was invented.

Disclosure: one of the inventors on that patent is my father, his other research was in solar panels, ocean thermal engery (otec), the aluminum air battery , the use of adhesively bonded aluminum structures such as the Jaguar XJ and hybrid diesel electric vehicles.

So telling someone to suck it up is a valid response now.

If I told women to suck it up that they didn't get a job they were qualified for people would jump down my thought to call me a misogynist. Grow up you aren't special and you should be judged based upon your ability to perform, not what sex or skin color you are.

The "system" has been discriminating against women for a long, long time. So now people are doing something about it and assholes like you get in the way and play the victim.

Well fuck you, and fuck your attitude.

The network is part of the system.

SAs had better understand networking, I don't expect/demand Cisco certs, but basic understanding of networking is a requirement of the job.

I deal with systems administrators of large corporations on a daily basis, there are lots of really excellent administrators who really know their stuff and frequently teach me something when we interact.

However, and unfortunately, there is also a significant group who don't know TCP from UDP (etc.). This is the group this book is for.
