  1. net surfing on Negative Effects of Workplace Net Monitoring · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was once busted for visiting CNN.com during lunch, one time.
    I was also busted for visiting the MSDN site as well as other C++ websites. I'm a programmer.

    A co-worker who conducts ALL his personal business from work ( he blames it on all his phone calls from home being long-distance and his mortgage) had pages and pages of non-work sites he had visited in 2 weeks time. Not a word was said to him.

    It's fine to be restrictive, but be consistent.

    Why is this Insightful?
    He does every 3rd generation upgrading, big deal. In two more generations hell have the latest and greatest, again.

  3. Re:At my high school on First Red Hat Academy for High School · · Score: 1

    Teachers love playing poor. Sure the average for a 1st year teacher 27k/year, and that would of course mean that the RHCE would make more. But in three years after tenure, I'd lay $1000 that the teacher is going to be making a bit more than the RHCE high school kid.

  9. I just love criminals..... on Kevin Mitnick Answers · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Always blaming an 'overzealous' prosecutor for their woes. Commit no crime, don't go to jail. Pretty simple, if ya ask me.

  10. Re:EarthLink *not* in similar trouble on AOL Not Alone In Subscriber Decline · · Score: 1

    Earthlink sucks.

    They bought up a lot of small to medium sized shops, that's how they increased subscriber base, nit because people were actually choosing them.

    I stuck with them for 3 months after they bought out penn.com. After deleted emails and charges for being dialled in twice ( when I have one PC with a modem and one phone line) I left them. That was 2 years ago and I still get junk mail from them to re-join.

  11. Re:What's so bad about this? on Card Makers Say UK Citizens Want Biometric ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Well, let's say the government needs a scapegoat for a crime. Thye pick your ID and alter the info and boom.

    Or say your ID is stolen and changed?

  12. Re:They never docked with the ISS in this mission on Space Shuttle Columbia Breaks Up Over Texas · · Score: 1
    . Columbia could have been left at the ISS until a later mission could go out to repair it.

    And how would the Columbia have gotten 100 miles higher with no propulsion beyond guidance rockets?

    The nest load of supplies was already schedule to headup on a Russian rocket.

  16. Re:Good to see... on Giant Sucking Noise · · Score: 1

    Back to my point...all those violent protestors detract from the real message.

    So if I get tear gassed it's okay then to just start breaking windows and dstroying businesses? Ohhhkay.

    So people who work at Wegman's take all there money and spend it at the corporate headquarters? I don't think so.

  17. Re:All this fuss... on DVD: Degradable Versatile... · · Score: 1

    Shhhh, don't let those collectors find out that what they have is what everyone else has.

  18. Re:Good to see... on Giant Sucking Noise · · Score: 1

    Those poor and working people sure do care if they work at places that get busted up and can't work and don't get paid because the place is in shambles. And if I am not mistaken, McDonald's is always a focus. Not sure how many rich people hang out there though.

    Perhaps you should take a look at Martin Luther King Jr., or Ghandi. They achieved a lot using non violence. And they got a lot of attention too.

  19. Re:Good to see... on Giant Sucking Noise · · Score: 2, Insightful

    perhaps if the protests weren't so violent and destructive more people would see what they are protesting against. No one likes to property destruction.

  22. a Umax laptop on IBM 600 Series Laptops and Flaky Batteries? · · Score: 1

    I have a umax Laptop. I have two batteries that won't hold a charge, at all, so it sits on the kitchen table plugged into the wall. Sure it's portable, but not wireless.

  23. A hefty Flamewar is putting it lightly. on MPlayer Licence Trouble With A Twist · · Score: 1

    Man, some of those emails are pretty intense. So far though I seem to be siding with the Debian view of things. Although if Xine is violating the gpl it should be gone as well.

  24. Re:But What Licence on Parsec To Be Released As Open Source · · Score: 1

    I'll be the first to say this but:
    The Open version is and will most likely be Vapourware.
    It's an exercise for the reader to determine why.
    ( someone offers them cash for it, Somehow non-releasable code got into the base, etc etc)

    Just think how much further KDE would be now if they had not locked into the propietary Qt stuff and pissed off enough people to start Gnome.
