Ok,

W T F ?!?!?!

Why are we segregating content, why the horrific site redesign apparently inspired by the gawker media atrocity from last year?

I love this place, been here for over a decade, but this.... this....obvious shark jumping.

I don't know if I'll be coming back, I do know that I've lost faith.

Slashdot.org was a leader in the blog space, now they are desperately following. Be a leader again, not a follower.

I'm out.

That would get a generic "infastructure" name.

[datacenter][IS][number][letter if clustered]

You can toss app owner in their if you want, I wouldn't though.

I've worked at places that stick strictly to a functional naming scheme & those that used comic book characters and the like.

I gotta say, the silly comic book character names function to keep new hires less valuable for longer. It's confusing to everyone but they guy who's been there since they where built. Then again, keep in mind I've only really worked in datacenteres of fortune 50 sized companies, SMB systems might be easier to track w/silly names.

OP is very light on detail about what type of job he's even looking for.

Is he a programmer, a system administrator?

What, prey tell, does OP want to be when he grows up?

These things are the FIRST questions we need answering, before we start looking at specific technologies (i.e. MS vs Open Source).

" Like the applications menu. You click on a category and the menu stays the same size and the icons are replaced by the icons of the category you've selected."

You do know you can change this behavior don't you? Right click on the menu button "switch to classic menu style" bam!

I also hate that default slideing menu system, so I change it.

Thats one of the best features of KDE is it's customization.

Honestly I don't care what they do except for eliminating junk mail. I'm lucky if I get ONE piece of valid mail a month, yet my mabox is full every day.... and yes iv opted out at every opportunity I can find. I loath the uspo because all they seem to do is deliver trash to my door and in it hide my water bill n occasional government notices.

The roku box may cost $99, hey I don't even need it as I've already got a Wii. However the added equipment required to cleanly integrate either of these into my whole house distribution system EASILY doubles that cost. I already have a full featured Linux HTPC that can be viewed or controlled from nearly any room in my home. Netflix simply refuses to integrate into my existing setup for a reasonable cost therefore I refuse to fund them.

Ok, wow. DS9 would probably be the BEST of the set. Enterprise earns an honorable mention as the basted child of DS9 & TOS. It is clearly VOYAGER that is the worst of the series, but even VOY had a few redeeming qualities (and I'm not talking 7of9, she was one of the reasons I DISliked that show).

FCoE...

A solution in search of a problem. 10GbE ethernet is really very nice. FC (and FCoE included) have a history of poor vender interop.

So by using FCoE you get the worst of both worlds, 10GbE with vendor lockin at the storage level....

So... NFS anyone (or I guess iScsi)?

Only time i've ever used FCoE was as a WAN tunnel link for asynch rep.... not seeing any other value for this anytime soon.

Personaly: I was protesting THE WAR IN IRAQ. The war in Afghanistan has some relationship to the attacks on 9/11. The war in Iraq was foist upon us because they finally had the chance to get away with it by implying a relationship to 9/11 (with no proof). The war in Afghanastan was COMPLETLY mismanaged becouse it was back burnered to an unnecisary war in Iraq.... maybe it's not a Republicrat vs Democrin argument, I hate both Kodos AND Krang, maybe some of us think for ourselves.

Was the Afghan war necessary, that's debatable. Was it justified, I think it clearly was.Neither can be said for Iraq. /end Troll feeding
