I've noticed this before, but what is this convention of enclosing certain terms in error messages,etc within quotes like this ` and ' eg. from limits.h /* Minimum and maximum values a `signed short int' can hold. */ I even noticed this in the halloween documents. Any ideas ? Regards, Mohan S N

Knowledge of servers like DHCP/Apache/SSH a very big plus. Must be self-driven and enthusiatic. Yet to meet an enthusiastic programmer who's been in the trenches for more than two years. btw self-driven has a very PHB feel about it.. You are gonna pay them right ? :) Anything open for freshers ? -- Gishu

However, the important question now is, Is it really paying? There has to be a greater premium on time. We waste lot much of it in discussions. One of my friends from Harvard aptly quoted, “Two of my greatest challenges are – How to get my Japanese students to speak up and Indian students to shut up”. We have to come to conclusion out of discussions and get to execution.

I personally prefer KDE too, but niether KDE nor gnome are perfect. KDE is better suited for advanced users, and is far too bloated than it needs to be. (in fact, KDE developers themselves recognize this, and are now working towards simplifying a lot of interfaces for future releases, theres a whole simpleKDE project as well) Gnome is the other extreme, its ideas of "Less is More" and KISS are fine in principle, and probably good for a newbie user. But, they tend to use this as an excuse for NOT providing functionality. My ideal desktop would be something in between A) Not clutter up every window and menu with a million options. Keep the basic, frequently used ones in the main display areas. (KDE's problem) B) Still have "Advanced" options accessible somewhere. (Gnome's problem)
