  1. h8 Windows on Symantec Tells Customers To Stop Using pcAnywhere · · Score: 1

    hahaha, this is funny. My company just rolled out pcAnywhere across all desktops (internally!)

  2. Zynga games on More On Why It Stinks To Work At Zynga · · Score: 1

    I like the concept of their games, it's just a pity they suck so bad in actual use. So slow and clunky

  3. I did this over 10 years ago on Asus Motherboard Box Doubles As PC Case · · Score: 1

    http://users.on.net/~zed/gw.jpg

    Yes, that is an old PC power supply box

    sure it was dodgy, but it worked.

  4. Re:1password on Best Tool For Remembering Passwords? · · Score: 1

    yeah, 1passwd is a great tool.

  7. Windows is mandated here on Do You Get a UNIX Workstation at Work? · · Score: 1

    My job is mostly admin of our departments *nix servers (40+ Linux, Solaris, HPUX, AIX etc). So I changed to Linux (Slackware) as my primary OS. I did try to live with Windows, but it was slowing me down (putty is good, but just doesn't compare to a proper *nix environment.

    I use VMware Workstation to run Windows for all the corporate BS (I did try Wine, but didn't have much success with MS Office).
    Its not perfect setup, but it works. If I could I'd run osX on Mac with Parallels Desktop.

  8. video conferencing on "Always On" Impromptu Video Conferencing Solution? · · Score: 1

    good luck with it

    in my experience video conferencing sucks, and I'm talking 'proper' equipment over dedicated lines. As such do it on the cheap and see how you go. If it works for you, then spend more money.
