That would be the sensible thing to do, and that's what everyone will eventually do, but they gotta be butt hurt for a little while. I have done by-hand decomps. I have done tool assisted decomps (Ghidra, IDA, etc), and now I have a new tool for decomps. It even uses the existing tools to help. I ain't mad. It doesn't invalidate my previous work. It certainly makes me think I'll be able to get some more decomps done that I've wanted to do. Then again, I'm not a "one-shot" AI user... it's another tool in my toolbox.

This is the best description I have read regarding the Network Admin position.

When I started as an admin 5 years ago, the company didn't know to care about redundancy, or security. When I started, neither did I. I could build PCs, do some light programming, and had a knack for finding solutions with Google. In that time, I've replaced all network hardware and fixed the topology, expanded from 6 to 20 servers, added virtualization wherever possible, added battery backup to everything (many servers didn't have any UPS), replaced 100 windows 2000 desktops, added 100 more desktops, upgraded the domain from 2000 to 2008, Exchange upgrades twice, migrated all storage to redundant RAID on server or via NAS, maintained DAILY tape backups of all servers, network monitoring via free Linux tools, expanded the network via T1 to include 7 satellite facilities and WAPs with VPN/firewall, and locked down every damned machine so that nobody can install anything. All while providing these people and locations with 24/7 tech support and software instruction. Monitoring scripts are all Perl and PowerShell, depending on OS. All of our network hardware is either Adtran or 3Com (now HP) and I've only had one switch failure in 5 years. No training seminars or certification taken, just lots of reading.

It pays shit, but its steady.

How the PC Is Making Consoles Look Out of Date 568

Posted by Soulskill from the reaching-hardware-limits dept.
An anonymous reader writes "What has been clear from this year's Game Developers Conference is that consoles are beginning to show their age. With nothing beyond a possible Nintendo update on the horizon, developers at this year's GDC have turned their eyes to the PC. The article includes three videos that give a fantastic insight into where PC graphics are headed, including a version of Epic's Unreal engine, Crytek's Cryengine 3, and DICE's Frostbite 2 engine. Considering that these leaps in eye candy are only possible with the current state of PC graphics, we wonder how long consoles will be the target platform for development of blockbuster games."
