    35-40 lines of code is cool, but zero lines of code is cooler. And soon you'll be able to pull a similar trick to build something like GIMP.

  2. Novell just released SuSE Enterprise 9 too by (H)elix1 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Novell also released SuSE Enterprise 9 today - all that good stuff in the 9.1 desktop version, with even better hardware support. Not what I would call a typical laptop distribution, but it automagically detected my wireless network card in my Thinkpad and got the video right... Sweet 2.6 kernel goodness officially blessed now that an *enterprise* distribution supports it.

    Life is good...

    Dude, out of the 125 speakers at this expo, *only* 9 are women!!

    I'm not in IT, but my field has a much higher representation from the fairer sex!!

    Does this ratio of 9/125 represent the actual number of female workers in the IT industry, or is it lower?

    It sure sucks to be in IT if you are a guy... but if you are a girl, you're in extreme demand and you get your pick... not that there's much to pick from there :-P.
