  1. Re:Great... on How India is Saving Capitalism · · Score: 1

    > Well, we dont have time to think about shit like that

    Sounds to me you've got plenty of time to sound off your opinion, when's the last time you went hungry? Oh? You still eat 3 meals a day?

    > When will the middle class realize that the upper 2% is screwing us in the ass daily, and actually do something about it????

    Yeah! Get the torches and pitch forks guys cause we're gonna start a revolution! Why don't you get on the clue train and do the following:

    1) Worry about yourself and improve your life.
    2) Do service to others in your community who really require help (homeless, literacy projects, cleanup, etc.)

    And spare us the incessant political preaching, because it's not helping.

    > The right thing to do, morally, is probably to go out of business.

    Oh really? It's a good thing most businesses don't line up with this moral, or else we'd all be swinging in the trees!

  4. Java on McNealy Answers: No Open Source Java · · Score: 1

    Unbeknownst to readers of the press release, a followup correction shows that Scott McNealy really said, "Sun sees no solution solved by using Java." More at 11...

  5. Re:On the bright side, on U.S. Students Shun Computer Science, Engineering · · Score: 1

    I do not, when I get in the field, want to work with people who are this incompetent.

    Sorry pal, it doesn't get any brighter on this side of the fence! Don't be yelling out the window if you get on a project with a guy that majored in Political Science.

  6. Dupe on How (and how well) do Wireless "Worldphones" Work? · · Score: 1, Informative

    This is a dupe. We get this every two months; I'll let you do the search to grab the links for each.

    What I post every time when this question comes up:

    1. Get a cheap cell phone that works in the local area that you go to.

    2. Get a temporary SIM card at your local 7-11.

    World phones are overpriced both in initial cost and service. Do NOT proceed.

    Enjoy!

  7. Re:Bubble! on Builder.com Writers Outsourced to India · · Score: 1

    Well at least progress is being made. Slavery they had no salary and now, illegal immigrants (the ones you're trying to say are slaves) get enough money and actual freedom to live out their choices.

    Over the last 200 years, human rights has seen its greatest lows and some positive highs. Being an optimist, I like to view that we as humans have actually made progress.

    What I've yet to see is progress of the person sitting in their chair with a pen, with a typewritter, with a keyboard actually get outside and move beyond from analysis of what everyone else does to taking action that's beneficial to people in their immediate environment.

  8. Re:Bullshit on Builder.com Writers Outsourced to India · · Score: 1

    Okay, maybe it's not a bubble. It's a chip.

  9. Bubble! on Builder.com Writers Outsourced to India · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I hate to burst a long running bubble around these parts, but producers, managers, marketers, and publishers actually do a job that is necessary to make a decent product, whether that is music, web content, software, or apples (the edible kind). I won't get elaborate, but I think you know what I mean. There are those that suck at their job and there are those that are good. Those that suck do not automatically disqualify the purpose of the position they are in, they disqualify themselves for being in said position.

    Just like selling software, an ephemeral--and in most cases intangible--object, these people do unseen work to make a product happen that brings the bacon home--for all of us.

  10. Word to the Wise... on Int'l Frequencies for Blackberry Wireless Devices? · · Score: 1

    Int'l cell phones are a rip off and a waste. Just get your team a bunch of cheap temporary cell phones in the host country and pass around the phone numbers. Not much else to say...

  11. IMHO on The Oft Frustrating Job of a Sysadmin · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The most dangerous sysadmin is the one who believes that he's dealing with inept people when the real ineptness is found within. Whole corporate IT policies are dictated by these people *all* the time.

  12. IBM and IP on IBM Offers to Help Sun Open Up Java · · Score: 1

    > probably contains IP that IBM licensed from somebody else.

    IBM has ways of dealing with this, trust me. The general rule: "For every one IP you can hang over IBM's neck, IBM has five to ten IP hanging over yours."

    Watchdog group to oversee their activities? Any takers?

  14. Re:Scare tactics on Debian Prepares To Vote On Non-Free Software · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    > you're probably running RedHat?

    Wake up, troll. It might surprise you that Connectiva brought apt into the world of rpm for a couple of years now. I guess I could troll back by remarking about how outdated Debian is... but that would be -- ignorant -- wouldn't it?

  15. Taiwan 50 on New Euro Coin Released With MultiView Effect · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The Taiwanese 50 NT (1.50 USD) had this for years switching between the Arabic and Chinese numeral "50". And, it's not a collectors item, it's normal everyday currency. Sorry I don't have linkage or any more knowledge about the topic than this. Any takers on explaining?

  16. Re:Code rewrites going to be needed? on AMD Could Profit from Buffer-Overflow Protection · · Score: 1

    > I would entertain listening to cases where self-mod'ing code has its place.

    Genetic algorithms that automatically learn and profile the system and modify the code accordingly to improve it's self efficiency. You'll see this in 10 to 20 years as corporations need to outsource somewhere else after being to India, China and the Phillipines. Next stop: machines.

    Please stick to your respective domains--namely, the Internet--for enforcing our rights. Otherwise, your gonna spread yourself so thin you'll render yourselves irrelevant quite soon.

  19. Re:It is truly a shame on Scientists Challenge U.S. on Scientific Distortions · · Score: 1

    This is the same administration who has essentially trampled your civil liberties as well.

    It seems you can still continue your diatribes and rants; it appears your civil liberties are in tact.

    This is the same administration who have turned a $200billion surplus into a $700billion deficit.

    Bad economy, corporate scandals, 9/11 and war. If you don't acknowledge these as being one of the myriad thousands of causes and blame the deficit squarely on the president, then you're either ignorant or stupid.

    This is the same administration who wants to remove Evolution from schools and teach Creationism.

    Do you have concrete evidence to this fact?

    This is the same administration who thinks that abstience is the only topic which needs to be discussed in Sexual Education.

    No. Again, you're wrong. The first Lady said it herself that abstinence should be an encouraged topic as another alternative to protective sex which in turn both are geared for the same purpose: To prevent early pregnancies, unnecessary abortions, broken families, and increased crime associated with carelessness with sexual relationships. What's trampling over the scientific process?

    Internet arm-chair analysis and left-wing bloggers are trampling over the process.

    Have a good day!

    I run NFS in Solaris clusters and in Linux clusters. Both have issues.

    Solaris NFS doesn't scale very well.

    Coupled with flaky Solaris NIS, NFS has some nightmarish support scenarios.

    Linux NFS doesn't lock very well. (rpc.statd crashes ALL the time)

    Slightly different NFS versions (Rh7.3 v. Rh9) can crash rpc.mountd as well on Linux.
