  1. Re:couple of things.. on Recommend Apple, Lose Your Job? · · Score: 1

    round $1500. lotta money for playing around.
    An eMac is (UKP)650 (US$800), yeah you can buy a better cheaper PC, but uou don't need a lot of monney (and it makes a good gift you your g/f ;)

  2. Re:good read... but way off on Recommend Apple, Lose Your Job? · · Score: 1

    (note: I am not a mac user, I could not afford a Mac at home[1], and I work at a mostly-windows shop)

    Changing your l&f is not a biz. goal. Hell, even when it is posable most companys will disable it, supporting computers is a pain, supporting computers when they look diffrent for each user is a hell.

    Can you really name a biz task you can not do on OS X than you can do on a Unix, I'd wager not. They might be harder (for you) on a OS X, but it will prob. be the opersite for a mac-ite.

    [1] I could get a eMac next I guess, but that 700 would be better spent on something that played Halflife 2 ;-)

  3. Re:Why it actually "runs Linux" on WindowsUpdate.com Secured, Permanently · · Score: 1

    But it still means Microsoft used a Linux-based firewall, instead of a Microsoft based one (what they had been using before hand).

    So still funny, but no as funny as them moving to a Unix/Apache web server.

    I really want to start growing hash, just so I can x-bred two plants, and call the new plant "SCO".

    Isn't having an entire company full of people smoking crack in violation of the law?

    Until now, I have never wanted to work at SCO, but free drugs, on demand, and job descritions of "Bollock Talker", shit I need to work at SCO!

    are you sure it is not a plot to get everyone rotfl then SCO layers will sneak into your house, and steal your copy of linux.

  8. Re:I don't find Linux easy to use (yet) on Translated KDE/Linux Usability Report Available · · Score: 1

    This report is not on the install of Linux, but the usability of Linux when installed (well).
    Most users never install an OS (Linux or Windows), and even if their OS is hosed via a virus, most people would be lost even with the "recovery cd" (i.e. totally automaticed windows install, with only the correct drivers on the CD).

    Strange that, I've had a Symbian based device for 3+ years, and its never crashed.
    I'd say its the app, not the OS.

    Either way, you can still use VNC (but only on phones that support sockets).

    Mine might[1], but your phone will have to support sockets, if not you could try ActiveViewer.
