    I think if you are logged in, and post in a thread that you moderate on, your moderating is removed.

    You buy them for that 1%...and the status. And I don't know if atrocious to drive is the right word as they generally are a drivers car (read if you don't know what you're doing, esp on an older Porsche - like a 911 Whale Tail- you are going to spin it out).

    But you can't shoot them in the back, you can't shoot them if they are unarmed, and you can't shoot them if they do not pose a threat. The law isn't based off of feelings, but rather actual physical threats.

  10. Re:The times are changing - Yes, but ... on Los Angeles Goes Google Apps With Microsoft Cash · · Score: 1

    I don't think that's very true at all. Lots of workers don't have "desktops". It's not uncommon to see laptops stay docked 24/7, but the department still isn't replacing them with desktops when the have the chance.

    I would suspect it is because laptops are multifaceted in application. Likewise, as we see netbooks become faster and more efficient, they will start to replace traditional laptop uses.

    You know what's not great, or at least with the most recent rev (last 2 years), is their terrible connection manager. It is a complete bear to get it to follow the right kind of encryption for Wifi. And then it shuts down Zero config.

    Zeroconfig is an extremely well executed program. In XP at least (like the rest of the OS, it took a turn for the worse in Vista) you almost NEVER had to futz with a connection. It just worked. It autodetects encryption levels, and prompts you for the right password.

  13. Re:FOSS standards are slipping on Mozilla Releases SeaMonkey 2.0 · · Score: 1

    I remember a time, only a few years ago, where even one crash in several hours of use would be seen as unacceptable for software at a major version number release.

    What the hell are you talking about? This has been a hallmark of FOSS software for over a decade.

    Are you implying that FOSS is all about the crashes? I've got some BSD boxes that beg to differ there, bub

    It's ironic. Microsoft could become insolvent tomorrow and vanish off the face of the Earth, and still, at this point, ultimately they would have won.

    Yeah, cause it's Microsoft's fault that a bunch of anti-Microsoft script kiddies have been producing shitty software for longer than they've even had dominance on the desktop. *yawn* get a new schtick you fucking turd.

    I mean either you're trolling or you..god please say you're a troll.

    Instead, it's purely about pleasing the lowest common denominator of mindless end users. Whatever said demographic screams for the loudest, they get.

    That pretty much sums up Linux development since when it started.

    For cereal?

  14. Re:ZFS looks grand, but glad they did not do it no on Apple Discontinues ZFS Project · · Score: 1

    At this point in life, HFS is working fine, and the drobo is quietly humming away. I'm glad snow leopard was relatively painless to upgrade too, and not sure this would have been the case if ZFS had been included in 10.6.

    I doubt that including support for ZFS would have caused a terrible pain. It isn't like it would implement the ZFS files system in an upgrade.

    ESXi is more of a bear (in my experience) to wrangle than ESX.Note I mainly put ESX on HP360s. But I use the ESXi at home. It is actually a std config at my company to give new employees cheap boxes, ($500), to put ESXi on for development.

    To a well informed person, presented with a multiple of choices, there are some which fit the task better than others. However to an informed person there are only choices.

    Many of the people who signed these ARMs really had no idea what they were getting into. Commonly people say, "Well that's their own fault for not knowing better" And sure it's easy to say that when you are a person who has the wisdom to know when you don't know - but many people don't. And the bankers knew their clients didn't really get it. They just didn't care.

    If I go to the doctor and he says I need an operation, I can do all the reasearch I want. Get second opinions. But at the end of the day the procedure is up to the doctor's discretion and it is his responsibility to make sure that I am well informed.
