  1. Re:Doesn't even matter on Ask Slashdot: Could We Reconnect Eastern Libya? · · Score: 1

    Maybe so, but for those 5.1% getting information out of the country could help the other 94.9%

  2. copy cat on Libya Warns Against Use of Facebook · · Score: 1

    Copying the approach taken by others in blocking the internet is a good idea.

    Look how well it worked for the leadership in Tunisia and Egypt.

  3. Re:practicality on Is Setting Up an Offshore IT Help Desk Ethical? · · Score: 1

    There are a lot of questions that would need to be answered. Of course, a person has to be comfortable with the decisions they make. Both for themselves and their community.

  4. Re:Text to speech on Egypt Goes Dark As Last ISP Pulls Plug · · Score: 1

    It is a start. Letting people outside the country see beyond the "official party line" hopefully will ensure the truth gets out.
    Mubarak may be planning on doing something bad for this march tomorrow. Google keeping some lines of communication open will help to get out the truth of whatever happens.

  5. Re:well on Satellite Spotters Make Government Uneasy · · Score: 1

    Unless you are a conspiracy theorist.

    Then you don't want to be "Thanked" by the government.

    That could be a bad thing.

  6. Re:Space Race?? on China and Russia to Launch Joint Mars Mission · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wouldn't count on it until we get more people interested in space again. Too many people think other things are more important that science and research for it's own sake. Now if we could find gold or oil on something out there that we could get back on terra firma easily, that would be a space race!

  7. Social Networking on Email Plugs Into Social Networking · · Score: 1

    Apparently this is going to be big this year.
    I wonder how long before MS tries to by linkedin

  8. Marketgrowth? on Ask Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Do you find that the majority of Opera users are on the IT side of things, and if so how do you plan to get more users who are the "typical user", or only use their computer at work for their assigned tasks? Since IE is embedded when they get their new machine out of the box, how are you introducing Opera to users that probably have a limited understanding that they can have a different browser, or even more than one browser on their machine?

  9. Finding Jobs on Hot Tech Skills For 2006? · · Score: 1

    Some of the comments about DICE are right on, but what about some of the other sites?

    I have actually found a couple good positions using monster and careerbuilder.

    One of the new trends I am seeing is the use of LinkedIn

    Currently I think there are more recruiters on LinkedIn than there are job seekers, but as it grows in popularity being able to directly find either skilled people or jobs could be a good thing. I think it has the potential to bybass the traditional Careerbuilder, Monster, Dice , etc...

  10. Re:What is a zillionaire? on Paul Allen the 'Accidental Zillionaire' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Chance favors the prepared mind.

    They were lucky, but they also had some idea of what they were getting into. Taking advantage of an opportunity means recognizing that you have an opportunity to take advantage of.

  11. Re:hmm on India Will Need to Recruit 120,000 Foreigners · · Score: 1

    How Sad that they may have to actually outsource some work. Maybe once they outsource back to us we can show them how to do it properly!

  12. surprised? on Microsoft Antitrust Judgement · · Score: 1

    Is anyone really surprised? When you have as much money as those people you get to make the law.

  13. Red Hat on Windows 2000 Gets Common Criteria Certification · · Score: 1

    When is Red Hat going to start this process? Anyone from Red Hat have a comment?

  14. Re:Keeping stuff away from terrorists? on Crypto and IPSec Merged into 2.5 · · Score: 1

    I think overall the crypto cat is out of the bag now.
