  1. The glory is still there on Has the Glory Gone Out of Working In IT? · · Score: 1

    At least for me. But then, I spend most of my time under the desks of beautiful women that prefer to go commando and where short skirts, connecting peripherals they don't need. Oh, wait a minute, that's the job I had.

  9. They dumped 64 bit long ago on Microsoft To Dump 32-Bit After Vista · · Score: 1

    When they stopped offering an OS for an Alpha.
    Fact is, still have a ~400 alpha that flies with
    OpenBSD. Who cares about what MS anyway except
    Wall Street.

  10. DITSCAP on U.S. Government Prepares For Vista · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I found response to the DITSCAP question a friging joke. BTW, DITSCAP has been phased out for http://iase.disa.mil/ditscap/index.html DIACAP, the microsoft guy should have know that! Without going into the details... The DoD should demand microsoft do the DIACAP for their OS. If you've ever gone throught the DITSCAP process you would know why... It is a major pain in the ass and was/is crap. Contractors that provide other softwares are or should be required to go through this process, why on earth can the DoD not demand the same from the maker of the primary OS used by them. If the DoD follows their own rules/regs/instructions Vista shouldn't hit the desktop till at least LATE 2008. Bunk I Tell ya!

    work *well* with anything other than the X vesa driver. No DRI, etc.
    Help out S3!

  14. would not change on Microsoft's IE7 Search Box Bugs Google · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I tried changing the default search to google and it would take.
    Is this because it's beta? I didn't like the thinbg anyhow. And too,
    a new home page wouldn't take either not even about:blank

    ditto!

  16. Re:The only compelling thing on AjaxWrite to "Compete" with MS Word · · Score: 1

    No disrespect intended but..

    PDF does suck. Largely uneditable without the bloatware you accurately describe. The only true portable document format is raw text.

    I very much agree with most of your post. That is why I install ghostscript and
    a port redirector for creating pdfs, fast and no adobe product needed. Because pdf
    is such a popular format I have to provide a solution.

    And what besides gs/gv and xpdf allow you to view pdfs in *nix userland.. a shitty port
    of acrobat reader! Com'n.

  17. The only compelling thing on AjaxWrite to "Compete" with MS Word · · Score: 1

    i can see is it will save as a pdf. Big deal, Redmon and GS
    do a fine job of that. And pdf sucks anyway.

    So what's changed?

  22. When on Ask Microsoft's Linux Lab Manager · · Score: 1
