  1. Here�s my story.... on Helping Your Ex-Employer? · · Score: 1

    back when i started out as a phone supporter in 1994 i worked as a freelance and really wanted to be employed by this company. But all over sudden they told me to leave and i went out and signed in another company for much better conditions.
    But as they say you always meet twice. So i went to the munich oktoberfest and ran into my bosses boss. He was really wasted and when he heard my story he got angry and must have called my former chief. Well, finally my old boss called me in again and it was my pleasure to hear him beg me to come back. Needless to say i didnt, but it was true fun. Now im self-employed and work for his firm from time to time...but i cash in pretty much and i guess he hates my bills... ;-)

  2. Re:Will life survive again? on Magnetic Poles May Be About To Flip · · Score: 1

    Yeah, great! Glad i bought that FCKW-free refrigerators lately. Could have saved me some money ;-/ At least i didnt upgrade my car with a katalysator...would have been the next useless investment...

  3. Sla$hca$h on Secure PDAs · · Score: 1

    If you would have told me two years ago that i would see this at slashdot i wouldn't have believed you. Well, in the end we're all in it for the moeny, heh?? ;-)

    take care,

  4. I had the same thought... on Knoppix for Rapid Desktop Deployment · · Score: 1

    but got confused by the debian logo. So is knoppix a commercial distri?? In that case this is def the ad of the day...

  5. Dejavu!!! on Sharp Unveils Glass Computer · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    it was boring news yesterday...

  6. Long life devices... on Fuel Cell Laptop announced by Toshiba · · Score: 1

    My Atari Portfolio lasts as long as 4weeks with only one battery load. Ok, it doesnt play DVDs on the other hand... ;-)

  7. Text Browsing on Opera Software Brings Its Browser to Mobile Phones · · Score: 1

    That would mean that using a textbroswer would be illegal too, wouldnt it?

  8. If this feeds an aibo... on Batteries Powered by Leftover Food · · Score: 1

    the circle is closed.

  9. Many candidates on Life on Pluto? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yes, life seems to be quite common.
    Let me count the potential candidates i heard of so far:

    - Earth
    - Mars
    - Venus
    - Europa (no, not the continent you US-centric /.ers)
    - and now even Pluto...i def counted this one out.

    My guess was always that life must be a rather common thing. If you look at all the impossible places where life found its way on Planet Earth...

  10. Re:Health rant on MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse w/Charger · · Score: 1

    Actually its not greek, its latin:
    Mens sana in corpore sano.

    But on the other hand, this requires a healthy mind in the first place ;-)

  11. Depends on your preferred OS on MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse w/Charger · · Score: 1

    Ive just installed a mouse odometer and launched word, excel, outlook and powerpoint.
    This alone took me 1,45meter. ;-)

    I bet if i would fire up my favourite OS i could sit in front of a console and find my mouse empty at the end of the day...

  12. Might work if you live alone... on MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse w/Charger · · Score: 1

    Here in the office we had two people using their Cordless Freedom(TM) iTouch(TM). And it was really fun watching both get mad while loosing contact with their mousecursor ten times a day ;-)

  13. Mosewheel on MX700 Cordless Optical Mouse w/Charger · · Score: 1

    And you could use the energy that comes with the turn of the Mousewheel. I bet most of my burned fat goes in the use of this...

  14. GLTron? on The Best of Windows Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    Ever tried Armagetron??

    And of course the legendary BZflag, a cool 3D Tank Shooter...

  15. Existing thread on Mozilla Jumps on 'Lean Browser' Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    Hi, i already opened a thread on the page this morning. Maybe you could help us out, Im a bit new to the world of Linux and therefore im having a hard time compiling it myself right now.
    Mine keeps breaking...heres the Link to our Phoenix Thread.

  16. Re:Personally on Mozilla Jumps on 'Lean Browser' Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    Well, sad if its not just i396 architecture and you cant upgrade...like these folks...

  17. Sony PS2 Linuxkit compatible? on Mozilla Jumps on 'Lean Browser' Bandwagon · · Score: 1

    Since the growing Sony PS2 Linuxkit Community is still in bad need of a decent browser running on the slow but cool box i will give this one a try as soon as i return from the munich oktoberfest later that day. Maybe someone more sober could give it a try on the PS2 as well?

    The Windowsversion (that i could try here at work) looks great and renders our intranet pretty well. It still lacks Proxysupport so i cant comment on any other pages yet ;-(

  18. Right. on Turn your PS2 into a Tivo · · Score: 1

    I was hoping that this "news" would be exactly what you said but sad enough its not. Its not even a big thing since i can do all that with my pc already.

    Btw, the HDs come shipped with the Linuxkit, and you can use any other custom HD as long as you have the Network adaptor.
    Sounds strange? Heres why...the adapter connects the HD to the proprierty ps2 port.

  19. My tiny box... on Turn your PS2 into a Tivo · · Score: 1

    will be the backbone of my entertainment centre soon. Now that it just became a Linuxbox recently and got a shiny new TFt attached to it it will also work as a vcr...this really rocks.

  20. Yes but... on More on GM's New Fuel Cell Cars · · Score: 1

    this thing looks awwwwwful...lets trys some other strapon...

  21. Not in my case: on Linux Outpacing Macintosh On Desktops · · Score: 1

    I know two kinds of Apple users here. Most of my friends tend to install Linux on their old Apples and Linux on their PCs, although most of them use dualboot machines. Nearly everyone also owns a Linux Workhorse Machine of some kind (Printserver, Router, Sambabox, etc.)

    But here in the office about 40% use Macs (its a publishing house so this number is pretty high, historically) and the rest of them uses Win2k. So, i dont see these numbers here. Not yet...

  22. No on Linux Outpacing Macintosh On Desktops · · Score: 1

    youre not.

  23. Poor car - It�s against the Law!!! on Perpetual Motion Delorean? · · Score: 1

    I wonder when people will finally figure that touching a DeLorean is a bad thing. Its great the way it is...and i hate to see them pass away bit by bit by silly experiments like this. Use a Twingo...it deserves it...
