techie34290 writes "If you were to make the choice between SIP and Skype for Linux, which one would you go for? Matt Hartley from MadPenguin.org says to opt for SIP. Why? "One tidbit of information that most people are not likely aware of is that when you install the Skype client, it will drain system resources by running as a supernode from time to time.

A colleague, who freely admits never having tried web development, asked me to recommend a book to help him learn Javascript. In the course of the conversation, it came out that I’m a LAMP consultant. He didn’t buy it.
(paraphrased as earnestly as I can remember)
“You wouldn’t need a consultant for the web, since it’s all quite trivial. In the case of Javascript, I just need to learn the syntax and I’ll be done. Web programming is basically keyboarding compared to my area: Multi-Threading. There, the programming is real and problems are incredibly hard, enough so you would actually need a real consultant to know what you were doing.”
He had me. I don’t know much about multi-threading. What is the real difference, if any? Is my industry part of a massive farce?
