Sorry, but you've ever met the SA's or help desk personnel I work with. The majority of them suck. The reason? They have no critical thinking skills. They don't know how to solve problems, or think outside the normal workflow routines. The reason is because they all have certs instead of degrees. Had they gone to college, they would have skills like critical thinking, leadership, and the ability to form complete sentences. Instead, my development team and I must pick up their slack, and it's not fun. Do yourself a favor and go to college. No matter how overpriced it is, you'll be better off in life with it than without it.

Nasa says 2005 budget could be lowest recorded.

This is the kind of post where people should either shut up or say "wow, now that's something." This is not the time for *stupid* comments like the poster wrote, "see if the linux folks can match that" or for the kinds of responses where some slashdotters do all sorts of analysis on how an open-source OS helps sick kids. I can't even believe what I'm reading here.
