I have been thinking about why the winvocates are so, um so, well, just
plain pitiful lately. I think I may have a reason. They are starting to see
MS tech jobs go away. A link posted earlier
http://news.com.com/2100-1001-956496.html gave me the clue I needed to
figure it out.

It states that 37% of the companies already had or were planing to install
Linux servers. It goes on to state that of those who recently purchased new
Linux servers 31% were _replacing_ Windows systems. This indicates that
Windows is being replaced in as many as 10% of all the companies. 10% 0f
the companies dumping windows... That's a lot of Windows rebooters who's
jobs are at risk. They MUST be on the verge of PANIC. Ether they try to
compete with other Windows rebooters in a shrinking number of companies or
they try to learn Linux. What a sight.

While I agree with you that MS-Windows tech jobs are certainly
shrinking (and lets face facts, they have nowhere to go but down), I
think they are so pitiful is just because they can be. ;)

Seriously, I think you've got a pretty good theory going :)

Maybe they are just bored and jerks naturally. I think you should head over
to Monster and search for jobs based on Unix, Linux and then Windows. The
Windows job market may be shrinking a bit (all those companies still have
Windows on the desktop), but that's like saying that we'll have 10% less
banana's world-wide next year. You'll still be able to go to any grocery
store and buy some.

So, you admit it, Winadmins are bananas.

Start conditions: 1000 Windows Jobs, 1000 MCSE's.  10 Linux Jobs, 10 Linux
syadmins.

After 1 year, a 1% drop in Windows jobs means 990 windows jobs.  A
corresponsing 1% increase in the pool of MCSE's means 1010, more than there
are jobs for.

If those 10 Windows jobs disappeared to become 10 Linux jobs, then there
are 20 jobs with only 10 people to fill them.

Given the numbers, which would you rather be shooting for, one of the 10
Linux jobs, with little competition, or one of the 990 Windows jobs, with
1010 other "qualified" people fighting you for it?

The jobs are there, there is an excess of "Qualified Windows
Administroators"(tm) and thus, the cost of labour goes down. Great for the
customer, *for the employee who spent $6000 getting an MSCE to not
only find their skills are worth less than a sack of bananas, but they
are also being paid that as well.

1. PPP connection fail Reason: ..not 8 bit clean...all had even parit

 Hi all,
   the problem is simple, why, after all chat(login pasword) ends, and
 started the PPP negotiation, give me these errors :

  LCP:request..timeout.
   ....not are 8 bit clean
   Problem: all had even parity

  or

  ...7 bit set to 0

    I have tried all, but i dont know how to set Parity none in pppd, maybe
with the serial?.. but are this option the default? i think yes...

   Thanks in advence... if not understood what i wrote, tell me.
