  1. Re:Market share on YouTube Phasing Out Support For IE6 · · Score: 1

    sounds like my company. But at least we can use any other browser for daily browsing, we just have to fallback to IE6 for the internal apps.

    I think they really do not match up part by part. But who cares? Seriously, who? I am so sick of this whiny-apple-too-expensive-whatever posts.

  3. Re:Agreed - Too Much of a Paradigm Shift on Outlook Inertia the Main Factor Holding Business From Google Apps · · Score: 1

    I know how you think and feel, because that is like I started. But I want my folders and sort the mail and so on. And you can do this. I have the mail I do not care go directly to a label (aka folder) and the stuff I want gets a label and stays in the inbox.

    It needs relearning, and if people are not willing to do that (and I say harsh most of the office drones sure don't) it will not work.

    Thought i do not agree on the numbers, windows servers are actually pretty solid.

    Google Doc works great for small things. But nothing really serious. I use it mainly for small documentation stuff, etc where it is great that I can view and edit it anywhere, but I do not need to have all the features and stuff from the big office suits.

    But I personally love the fact that two or more people around the world can work on the same document without the need of some big big major server backend at your office.

    And still I agree, google docs is far far to weak to even compete with any other stand alone office product.

    And still a lot of companies think exactly about doing this.

  7. Re:RAID is *NOT* backup! on RAID Trust Issues — Windows Or a Cheap Controller? · · Score: 1

    I use raid on my scratch drive. Because I do not need a backup there if I delete on file, or some parts get corrupted, but it is extremely annoying to loose all of it through an HD failure. I had this twice, so now I have RAID1 scratch disk.

  8. Re:But what about spam from "me"? on A Look At Google's Email Spam Prevention · · Score: 1

    strange, this never happens to me in google. All that spam that comes from "me" is correctly tagged as spam, my mail that comes from me (via google) is never tagged wrong.

    The only spam that comes through is some wired Russian spam every other day or so.

    Email is for old people. the rest is done through chat/twitter/facebook/what-not-else-other-sns.

    Most of my mails nowadays are notifications from other services that I have a mail waiting there :)

  10. Re:So why on PostgreSQL 8.4 Out · · Score: 1

    I agree. The first time I tried postgresql (was 6.x version) it felt horrible complicated and not as easy as mysql. Much later when I tried it again and used it more, I realized how amazing good postgresql actually is.

    Nowadays I only use postgresql and really don't look back on the mysql days. But yes, postgresql needs some time to learn, but once you know it, its a very different thing.

  11. Re:So why on PostgreSQL 8.4 Out · · Score: 1

    Honestly. I don't care if MySQL goes off like a Ferrari, but only arrives 1/2 of the time. I need my data 100% secure. And postgresql does this for me. My longest running postgresDB I had on one server was 5 years, went through several major upgrades, and works.

    I trust postgresql very much, more than I will ever trust mysql.

    And I have schemas, who needs cross db joins ...

  12. Re:So what? on PostgreSQL 8.4 Out · · Score: 1

    I would give a +100 insightful, but I have no mod points.

    Sadly most people forget exactly that. I did one project of transforming an application from mysql to postgres. This was a very small application, but it still took an amazing long time to transform it over.

    So most the time I would say, if it works, stick with it.

  13. Re:Ban how to host a murder while you're at it. on On Realism and Virtual Murder · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No it does not, because a simulation is still a simulation, as real it might be. If he would only play such a game, never go out, never leave his house, never communicate with anyone. Well if that happens now or in 50 years, such people who might loose the grip of reality, loose it anyway.

  14. Re:Take Kodachrome if you must ... on Kodak Kills Kodachrome · · Score: 1

    I hear you, I know what you mean, my 50+ year old Rolleiflex and my 30+ year old bronica both work fine, and will until film disappears.

    But when i shoot something for work, or anything where I need quick access, film just doesn't cut it.

    If you make money from it, it will pay off, if not, then it gets difficult. The 5D actually was and is an amazing camera, and it still works very well, you can pick up one second for a very cheap price. And the 5D II might be a bit pricey, but I wouldn't call that a ton of cash. The upper cycles (5d,1d) do not rotate as crazy often as the lower ones, where it seems like every 2 month some new one comes out ...

    I still shoot with my 30D, and although the sensor shows it age, it can still produce amazing pictures, hell my even older sensor Epson R-D1 does amazing pictures, unless you push it to high iso, where it is more or less only very nice B/W ...

    But waiting for day X where it will stop, well, it will never, it is a point decision. I too want to go full frame digital, but it just wouldn't pay off for me, as I almost never use it. I don't need to spend money on a dust collector.

  15. Re:Take Kodachrome if you must ... on Kodak Kills Kodachrome · · Score: 1

    I do not think 50 is too slow, but it depends what you take.

    But my main topic here, calculate all the film you shoot and process vs a one time purchase for a digital body. Depending if you really do not care much about film, then it might pay of pretty soon.

  18. Re:Lies, damn lies. on Hacker Destroys Avsim.com, Along With Its Backups · · Score: 1

    normally you do not allow any ip to connect when you use a non password key. You just use a low access use, disallow login, allow only from a certain ip and the other side where the user with the key is, is also a secured box.

    At least this is better than doing rsync backups between two servers. Doing just this is crazy. I shed no tears with this admin.

    Actually most of it works in php5. Some minor things didn't at the beginning.

    Unless you wrote super ugly code (highly possible in php), it was very easy to port to php5.

    "me too".

    As much as I like playing Bioshock, it was never as exciting as playing SS/SS2. Systemshock was just amazing. Especially the the first one.

    I still love this game and whenever I play a game nowadays I just think they are all pretty much dumbed down and simple. More "Mass" appealing. Not bad per se, but just not as exciting as they were 10 years ago.

    I would love to see a SS3 in the same way SS1/SS2 were ...
