  1. Re:Jesse on AutoZone Responds To SCO · · Score: -1

    good one, those ads are so lame; as if with all of his customizing and such he'd shop at such a general store.

    plus, what's with the hat being pulled so far down? does he think it looks tough? pffff, I'd beat him down if he got in my face.

  2. when will we see proof? on AutoZone Responds To SCO · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This is taking forever, the longer SCO drags this out, the more companies will be afraid of using Linux. When does this cross the line of being a lawsuit, to being racketeering? Am I being unreasonable? When they first went to court, why didn't SCO just put all the cards on the table? Is it because they don't have any cards to show?

  3. welcome to...life! on Appreciating Your Stressful IT Job? · · Score: 1

    seriously though, balance out your life and your work, never forget which is more important. I work in software dev, and 8 months ago I was asked if I wanted to go to client sites to do install/implementations, I told em no. I have a family, and make that the priority. other coworkers said yes, and they're getting stuck 1000 miles away from their families for a weeks straight. F that, what's it worth? one of them only did it to look like a 'team player', but they pay me better and give me new opportunities in response to my skills, not how much of my time I'll forfeight.

    again, balance, and deciede what your priorities are. a hobby, not tech related, is also recommended. "Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive!" - Bugs Bunny

  5. to update or not to update? on Postfix 2.1 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    that's the question.

    I've been running Postfix for 8 months now, and I much, much prefer it to my life of running Sendmail for the previous 2 years. Anyway, I've been running Postfix, it has worked perfectly for me, and my 8 other mail users, and I have kept up to date on all/any security patches. Is there any compelling reason for me to upgrade? If the newer one is faster, more effiecent, that's great, but for a small server like mine I'm not sure if I'm even going to notice.

    Anyone with helpful advice is appreciated. TIA.

    so, is *any* IM conversation bound by this? who's to know if you're talking on IRC and have the "log all conversations" box checked, you'd be breaking the law if someone was in that channel was chatting from that state; regardless of if you were even talking *to* that person.
