iPad is the one to beat, this does not do it.

I'm not saying that I would take the same avenue today. If I were 20 years younger and looking at the same field, a degree or other form of post-secondary schooling is nearly essential to do what I am doing.

The job descriptions usually have an X year degree or Y years of practical and related experience. Y is usually somewhat larger than X.

I graduated Grade 12 in the early 80's. Was going to go for a CS degree but put it off for a year while I worked. Then another year went by, and so on.

Back then, the vast bulk of "nerds" loved this stuff as a hobby and could slide into a work role easy enough. Then people started going to school to 'learn teh computerz' as it seemed like an easy way to make cash. Those are the folks who were dumped during the dot-bomb.

Fact is many of the best IT folks I know who also have excellent technical skill were self-taught.

Oh yes, more Thief is always good.

Thief Gold, Thief 2 and Thief: Deadly Shadows are available DRM-free on GOG.com. Those plus DarkLoader for fan mission and you have a virtually unlimited amount of gameplay.

Go get it, you taffers!

All they'd have to do is tweet a hash of the headline and summary. SHA512 preferred, MD5 would give us more dupes.

I use BitCoin to make donations to various Linux projects. That way when I download all those Linux ISOs on BitTorrent, I really feel like I'm sticking it to The Man.

I absolutely love the ~1 year old news site Quartz. I forget how I found it, but it's been a great. The "While you were sleeping" sections in the email updates keeps you up to date on events around the clock.

Wickr claims a zero knowledge policy, encryption/decryption is done on the devices.

That had me laughing, thanks!

Killer rabbits? They are already here.

Blackberry.
They are making it to sell to themselves.

Perhaps the intent of the licenses is similar, but there's more to a license than that. Unfortunately, being licensed under the CDDL causes a lot more license incompatibility restrictions than either the LGPL or BSD license do. If it were under one of those, there'd be hope for seeing it as an included filesystem in the Linux kernel. But since it's under the CDDL, that can't happen.

The developers are, of course, welcome to use whatever license they like. Just pointing out that the CDDL is *not* basically the LGPL under "per-file" or any other basis.

Oh well. I'd somehow hoped "truly open source" meant BSD license, or LGPL.

Get a new set of caps from LCDAlternatives. It's cheap, and a fun geek project to install them.
