  5. A Vegan Perspective by mr_don't · · Score: 2, Funny · on Do Digital Photos Endanger History?

    As a Vegan, i.e. one who doesn't (or tries not to) use or eat animal products, digital photo technology provides an alternative to analog film, which almost always contains gelatin...

    I am hoping to start a Vegan Film Project specifically to discuss methods to create non-gelatinous motion picture film (and potentially less toxic methods of developing it). I already put up a message board at Mr. Soda Overload. Anyone care to help? Please chime in with ideas...

  7. USDA - Agricultural Research Service by mr_don't · · Score: 2, Informative · on Which Government Agencies are *nix-Friendly?

    As a former USDA worker, I know that this is a good thing! I can't describe how many hours are spent wrestling with the outdated (mostly DOS based?!) legacy database programs that the USDA administration must endure.

    As for the Agricultural Research Service, where I used to work, the only *nix that was being accepted was for bioinformatics research, and the sys admins hated having these extra boxes on the network, because they were afraid of administrating them!

  9. USDA: not very happy with Linux by mr_don't · · Score: 1 · on Which Government Agencies are *nix-Friendly?

    Until very recently I was working in a Molecular Biology Lab at the USDA Agricultural Research Service in Albany Ca. The agency does use Solaris to serve its e-mail, but almost everything else, from fileserving to administration uses NT



    Some of the scientists (albiet very few) run *nix-boxes for their research. I had set up several Linux boxes to run bioinformatics software, and had to fight with the sys admin every step of the way! I was constantly tormented by computer guys chewing me out because they were afraid my computer was not as secure as others on their NT network. The sys admins there lived under the constant idea that Linux boxes are insecure because distributions come preloaded with a zillion unnecessary daemons (FINGER!? Telnetd?). I was burdened with the job of trying to prove to ignorant NT people that I had sufficiently locked down my Linux boxen, and that my computer was more secure than the other NT servers.
