Whee, a virus that sniffs for passwords off the network of the infected computer. This is definately going to lead to trouble.

http://www.eetimes.com/sys/news/showArt ... 205&pgno=2Passion for one's work is also key. If not, Saks said, "you might as well forget programming and [become] a lumberjack or something. I'm not kidding. You must truly love what you do to be successful at making yourself indispensable."
Who the heck would hire this guy as a training consultant. From the quotes used, I don't think anyone could stand his training course. He seems to have the people skills of a lumberjack or something. I'm not kidding.
Note: I don't claim to be better and don't have to be. I'm not trying to teach anyone anything.

woo, with this and Linux Standard Base 2.0 maybe Linux will be a serious desktop OS now. Like I always said until there is a unified API it's not going to take off. I am glade they are taking the right step.The same system will soon be used by other desktops such as KDE, so this will allow different desktops and applications to work together more smoothly.

How to fold a shirt (Japanese video w/ accompanying English thread). I was able to get this to work, but only after closely reading Cali's description. The video serves primarily to mystify.

One wonders if the iron grip the entertainment industry has on Congress will win out in the end.
