  1. Why try not to be the BOFH? on How Do IT Guys Get Respect and Not Become BOFHs? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you work with a bunch of jerks anyway. Be professional but be firm. Last minute, impossible deadlines are unacceptable. Let them know that your time is planned and allocated and they need to plan ahead. There is no reason to accept abuse from co-workers.

  2. This list is totally invalidated by section 12 on Why Linux Is Not Yet Ready For the Desktop · · Score: 1

    FTA -> "12. Bad security model: there's zero protection against keyboard keyloggers and against running malicious software (Linux is viruses free only due to its extremely low popularity). sudo is very easy to circumvent (social engineering). sudo still requires CLI (see clause 4.). "

    ummmkay, the security model on unix/linux lends itself to higher system security (not necessarily user). How can you compare the Unix/Linux security model to Windows and say it is bad. zero protection against keyloggers...? I guess we could get Norton Antivirus to run on Linux or something to make this guy happy.

    You need the new Nuclear Powered Voodoo machine to run Crysis.
