Which Filesystem Do You Use On Portable Media For Linux Systems?
An anonymous reader writes "Most people use MS filesystems on Disk-On-Keys, and portable hard drives, as these are readable from most machines. But this way you lose the files' permission information, which many times is very inconvenient (you must agree that having Ubuntu asking you whether to execute or display every text file or image you open from a DOK is annoying). Using 'regular' Linux filesystems like ext keeps the permissions, but may require using the superuser when switching machines (as the UIDs are different). So do any of you have a creative solution for this problem?"
was your post meant to be modded funny or assclown?
Seriously.. your solution makes no sense.

I could have sworn the summary said something like this:
"you lose the files' permission information, which many times is very inconvenient (you must agree that having Ubuntu asking you whether to execute or display every text file or image you open from a DOK is annoying)"
Given that Ubuntu is supposed to be the friendliest distribution (cue flame war...), I have to wonder...
No sig today...
So you installed an RDP client so they could connect to a Windows machine to run their accounting software right? Or by accountant do you mean somebody that thinks Excel is 'accounting software'
I hear this bullshit often, and thats what it is, bullshit. If you don't actually do anything with the computer, or you are technical enough to deal with a bunch of software that doesn't quite do what you want, then you can run Linux. If your job isn't to make computers work, but to use them to get shit done with the rest of the business world, you aren't running Linux, you're running something that you can hire people who have used it before.
This doesn't just apply to Linux, as I said, I'd love to drop Windows in favor of OS X at the office, however, I'd much more rather not go out of business because no one could use the apps they knew how to use.
I don't try to convert people, I'm not on some retarded crusade. I realize the computer is a tool. If it was some random person who didn't do anything but browse web pages and use gmail, then I might consider converting them. Anyone else, that actually needs to get shit down with other people in the business world, I'm not under some delusion that OpenOffice and Firefox are the only apps that get used.
Its not being lazy, its using the right tool for the job, which is where Linux tends to fall short. My Windows machines are reliable and low-maintenance, they auto update themselves, users don't run as admins, and we haven't had a virus infection in the 5 years or so since I took over management of the network, can't speak about before that, and thats with an OS thats actually a target for malware. You get all high and might about an OS that no one gives a shit about not getting infected.

That really depends on who you ask. Ask a proud KKK member, and they'll probably say the Teletubbies. Well, after the blacks, jews, and ... well, anyone not white. I'd say ask a Nazi, but ... well ... all that's left are very old men and the "neo-nazi"'s.
That's besides the point. A dispassionate, amoral outsider would see things like you are putting it, but as a human, taking such a stance is more than mildly absurd.
You're taking the position that you don't see any difference from promoting legal inequality based on race, and even murder and genocide, and having a bunch of strange costumed aliens as a kid's show, since it's all a matter of opinion.
As a matter of free speech, I agree that we should be dispassionate, but when it comes to how each of us feels about something, it's unnatural and inhuman. I would never tell anyone they can't tell a certain joke, or whatever, but I do think it's completely reasonable to point out the bigger picture upon which a joke rests.
I don't care if I offend KKK members, or Nazis/neo-Nazis. Perhaps the original joke-poster at the start of all this doesn't care if he offended anyone. I suspect he really didn't think about it one way or the other and just thought it was a funny joke, which is why I posted what I did.
If he does care, then maybe my pointing it out was helpful, if not, then maybe someone else found it useful, or not. It doesn't bother me much, I wasn't personally offended, nor am I offended if someone doesn't like what I wrote. I was offended at the notion that I should keep my opinion to myself.
But, I shouldn't even be writing this, since you've clearly stepped into Godwin's law territory.

I *think* we're safe so long as we don't equate anyone in the discussion or under discussion with being a Nazi. Welcome to life on the edge! :D
