In my long Linux usage time I used serval distros. One of them was Gentoo and at that time I thought compiling all from source is the answer to all the RPM dependency hell questions.
Well, sorry, no, never. Compiling all makes absolutly NO sense at all, except for some special packages, where you have to do a special setup.
You waste so much time with compiling (eg in Gentoo) and at the end you have more troubles with libraries, etc. I run Debian/testing on my workstation and on most of my servers and I only had _one_ issue and that was when I upgraded mysql from 4 to 5 and I had to convert some tables by hand. And I would have had the same issue with compile from source.
So the only time I compile something is, when I need very special settings in a software. For example apache with php. Mostly I need some special things in PHP that might not be in the default binary package.
And thats it. Compiling from source (especially in Linux where you have awesome binary distributions) is a PURE waste of time. I used Gentoo for one year and now I have Debian for more than a year and Debian one in everything, hands down.
Yes, we are forced to make screenshots from fileserver accounts creation, change, whatever, same for the mailserver and so on. We create TONS of papers. Papers for everything. Nobody will ever read them, nor understand them.
SUXBOX! This is just new trick for those "companies" to make gazillions of money in "auditing". Auditing? Muhahaha, they skim threw the papers, asks hillarious stupid questions, where the IT people just litteraly laugh at them.
How should this EVER help preventing anykind of accountant fraud? In no way, never every. EVER. If you record a new users rights or not, it will not stop him or her to trick the balance sheet or do some other stuff.
Do any programs not run on XP Home or Pro? Its just some internal difference. 99% of all future Vista owners will be OEM owners. And most of them are happy campers if they can surf the E-nternet...
Last year when my TV died (4:3, ~17 Inch model), I just searched for the most cheapest replacment, I set my budget for ~40.000 Yen. Gosh, I ended up with an amazing 16:9 Sony, ~24 Inch. Of course not HDTV and other crap, but who cares.
The only HDTV device I got is the X-Box 360 my gf bought for herself. Ridge Racers 6 still look good, TV? None that I know here which interests me. DVD? Looks fine too.
There is no need to spend 10x times the money, just to get the latest LCD-high-end-hdtv-super-duper crap... which might not even work in 3-4 years... TV was the last resort of very long running things, seems Hollywood & Co decided to help the electronic industry and change that too.
Which apps do not run as normal User? I have all my accounts at work set as "User". It works, I doubt that there are any left. I think thats a lot of FUD...
You want 500GB storage, you need 500GB of backup, the more storage, the more backup. Always think of that. Very important.
Especially if you say, "I'll just make a selective backup". Especially then, when you loose the disk, the data you want right now, is not in the selective backup.
Right now I have a 250GB + 40GB and I have 250GB + 200GB just as backup. I have just no interest in lossing a single bit of data. if one of the disk dies. I change and just copy 1:1 back from the backup disks (or the other way around).
Before this story was posted, I didn't care less who submitted a story. Seriously. Why care about it, its about the content. If I am interested I read it, whoever submitted it, if not, I don't. End of discussion.
I wouldn't give anything about who submitted a story. It looks interesting and fits into a slashdot topic post it, if not, then not. If its too crap written so you would need too much time posting it, drop it. Sad but true. Perhaps anotherone will repost it in a more useful way.
yeah sure. standard for whom? For those who use outlook, because it was preset there. That it makes no sense in logic and actualy work. Who cares. Managers really don't work, they just write crap. And if they say "yeah okay" and then send back a 120kb crap loaded quote mail. fine. who cares. they are idiots. fact.
I read through this and suddenly I asked myself, do I walk back in time, or is something wrong.
But sadly Top posting is so common nowadays, that managers complain if you don't do. Last time I normaly answered an email to an management person in our office and he complained later why my answer was not on top like "normal" people do...
oh where there world went thanks to preset outlook settings...
I guess its about those things you see on TV too: - answer questions about certein events in history - guess Kanji - build new Kanji out of other Kanji - solve match problems - solve other typical bran problems (fold paper, find differences in pictures).
Sadly I know nobody who has an DS, so I can't even ask them if they know it more...
that with the clutter is just a weak excuse. Why do I, as a power user, have to press another button, get another stupid popup just to go a url. plus I need to click twice at least, because its another window.
Sorry, but thats all just very weak Gnome/GTK design flaw excuses
Thats not logical. Why is there no input field on first hand? Oh it might confuse the normal user, but hey wait, you can press some strange key combination and might get something of 1/4 of usefulness instead.
I really hate that "click" around thing in Gnome (I have it in gimp and sometimes when I use gnom-editor). In KDE apps I just type in the path and thanks to autocomplete I am really fast to arrive where I want to go.
but its not a fake festival like in the rest of the world. Here its true christmas. About giving expensive presents to other people you don't care all year long.
Long live christmas and funky one-melody-blinking-christmas trees in front of Convenience Stores somewhere in deepest japanese only neighbourhoods.
Not only you can walk around at 3am and not beeing afraid of beeing mugged/stabbed/robbed. You can also carry expensive SLRs with you, without beeing afraid somebody might stab you to get it.
But then again, if you are an foreigner, there are 20 cops watching you anyway. At least foreigners always do something evil, so they have to be watched.
Since the X-Box announcement. I saw _ONE_ X-Box add in the Train. And not even in the more main line, but in the side line to my appartment. I haven't seen a big add in Shibuya Station, like normal Tech products do (mobile phones, iTunes/iPod, etc). and TV adds are anway outrun 50:1 in favour of the PS2. Actually 90% the game adds are PS2 & PSP. The rest is the rest. And I saw now 1 X-box only add and 2 Perfect Zero adds.
Seriously, fact is, japanese nerds love role playing games, with perfect zero they might catch the 5 foreigners who live here, but not the rest of the japanese guys. I have to say that the add in the train was about FF. But the only thing it states, that now you can see all in HDTV... well, FF sales went down very rapid. Actually the whole Game Console business goes down, because more and more are just playing keitai (mobile) games, and with the latest keitais the games are really good looking already.
Well, thats just my two Yen here. I don't even have an HDTV TV and therefore X-Box is out of interest, plus I have a PS2 and I almost never play with it (time). So I'll watch and see.
Last words, I doubt the PS3 will sell like hot cakes either. That time is long over I think.

But whatever. Luckily someone gets rich of it.
I was more like. Oh shit, I hope no manager every hears about this or it will be: "IT MAN, WE NEED THIS NOW, IMMEDIATLY!"

I just checked it for 5min and you can rotate a picture. There are two rotate icons on the bottom of each thumbnail. rotate left and rotate right.
we got them plenty here. Nobody wants them.
I can remember I was such a brat. I think all kids are like this. It's keeping a stand as a parent. It's like a never ending trench battle. Horrible :)
They are from Vienna, Austria, they just presented this on the 22C3. It's correctly written in the wired article though.
Well, there is a supercool thing called "correct quoting". Nobody forces you to quote the whole text and write a "me too" below.
yeah sure. standard for whom? For those who use outlook, because it was preset there. That it makes no sense in logic and actualy work. Who cares. Managers really don't work, they just write crap.

Kanji are the chinese Characters that the japanese use to write words.
:)
because you don't know how to type in "kanji" and "example" into google, here is a link with some simple Kanji: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2046.html
lots of greets, your snob
I guess its about those things you see on TV too:
...
:)
- answer questions about certein events in history
- guess Kanji
- build new Kanji out of other Kanji
- solve match problems
- solve other typical bran problems (fold paper, find differences in pictures).
Sadly I know nobody who has an DS, so I can't even ask them if they know it more
You can check out the japanese homepage: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/andj/
Okay, after looking at the webpage, its 100% what I imagined
that was my first thought when I read that. Then there no more scratch complains ...
that with the clutter is just a weak excuse. Why do I, as a power user, have to press another button, get another stupid popup just to go a url. plus I need to click twice at least, because its another window.

Great.
Thats usability for the user!

unless you are a 6-12 year old girl. Three were murdered in very short time now. Sad thing.
