Xenix had a doscp command it would be the fastest way to get files off if they are less than 1.44 megs. the box must have a floppy drive and the system it is going to must have a floppy drive

Anonymous peer reviews sound like a great idea, so many want our kids to take standardize testing and fire the teacher that has the worst kids. My wife who teaches second grade is considered a "Highly Qualified Teacher" by the state of Arizona. She is given the worst readers at her school. They are split up between 3 categories "above grade level", "at grade level" and "below grade level". It is the goal to get them to grade level or greatly improve there skills by working with the child's skill set depending on their ability. Unfortunately her efforts are not always successful. If she was paired up with the exceeding or average students she would look better on paper but currently there is limited success with the lowest of the low. Still she measures her success one child at a time, testing could not measure this unless of course that child advances to one of the other two groups. My wife teaches because we can afford it. 33,000 per year with a masters degree and as a reading specialist isn't much, it hurt worse this year when she had to take a 6% cut in pay since the state has cut the education budget. Oh and the summers off, that would be about 9 weeks, 2 of which are spent,,,,, well going to school to be a better teacher.

Try Arizona, you will make about 35,000 per year with a masters degree for the first five years. (minus the 10% cut they will get next September due to budget shortfalls with Arizona.) Summer jobs are few and far between, nobody wants to hire a person for 2 and half months.

McDonald's does pay about $30,000 to be a manager for less hour's, teachers don't work a 7 hour day if they want to succeed.

When my wife said she was going to quit being an Oracle DBA and announced she was going to start teaching, I thought she was a nut. She make's a fraction of the pay, works nights & weekends and gets zero respect from parents.

When you teach, your success is measured with "ohhs and ahhs" from the kids, not the pay.

 

I Worked for Dave and crew at the last Superbowl in Phoenix. I was the wireless vendor that the Superbowl hired for the outdoor wireless. Everything that Controlio says is true. He is a great guy, they have there act together and he is a good man to work for. He led the entire site from weeks before to the week after. Three weeks later I received a hand written thank you card and a gift from Dave. In a world of thankless days, I have kept the thank you note on my desk from Dave Port, He seems to have this game plan down.
I guarantee he did not watch any of the game tonight, he was running the show. Next week he will sleep!!

I have a ten meg connection at my house but I download files from a server that has a 1.5 MBPS T1. The server I download from or upload to may have 15-30 others doing the same thing. I have no idea if Cox Cable is keeping me from my 10 megs because I have a Ferrari that I am driving on a one lane road behind a street sweeper. The internet industry has based its model around T1's so what can we do other than boast we have a high speed connection and hope the others have it too. What are the chances the network path chosen by the routers are all large pipes.

When it comes to testing my connection, who is to say that my ISP does not have a high Quality Of Service applied to the most popular bandwidth testing sites, that would be good for business if QOS was enabled for those test sites.

By the way,,, I have my entire house wired with CAT6, gigabit switches and gigabit NIC cards so I can pummel the crap out of my 10 MBPS Cable modem, I am thinking about changing to fiber, your thoughts!!
