    I desire Visio for all the little icons that represent vendor equipment, which PHB's I encounter on consulting job love.

  2. Visio on Codeweavers Releases Crossover Office · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    All I really want is Visio. Does anyone know if it works with Crossover Office?

    With lower margins you're usually hoping for higher volume.

    On the same token, future Slashdot trolls will have a field lambasting both your pre and post 9/11 articles.

    http://www.toshibalaptops.com -- ask for Julia at x2134 if you call. These people have taken great care of me, and you can get great deals on refurb Dells that come in and Pentium era laptops can be had for $300.

  6. Re:Big Pussy? on Time on "Pirates of Primetime" · · Score: 1

    I'm American, and I don't even understand.

    This could have something to do with me being familiar only with 'little pussy', as obese/big is just 'not an option'.

    It is so intuitive to turn off msn messenger.

    Go to Start->Run. In the dialog box type "msconfig".

    Go to the tab that pertains to start up services. Uncheck msim, or something along those lines.

    Enjoy a .NET passport asking free environment.

    Wine will probably not run on this kit, seeing as it only runs on the x86 platform.

    Yes, this is what Earthlink does (I'm a current Earthlink DSL customer). While I don't really use that account all that much, from what I've seen of the web client, it's not that bad.

    That sort of functionality seems to be reserved for the higher end access points, such as the Ap-1000.

    No, it's just amongst the newer breed of admins that I see, there's a tendency for them to be good Unix admins with good NT skills.

    There's a lot of the old guard that's strictly Unix.

    There's a lot of the new guard that's strictly NT.

    There's also a lot of the new guard that's strictly 1 0wNz j00! l1nux is r33t! w00t.

    A lot of the guys that can do Windows correctly are guys that do Unix correctly.

    I've met the exceptions, but they are rare.

    A good admin is a good admin is a good admin. All one has to do is force yourself to think outside of just one particular mindset.

  19. Under bankruptcy... on FiveFingerDiscount.com? · · Score: 1

    Employees are class 1 creditors, meaning they get paid first in bankruptcy. If management avoids bankruptcy, or finds some loophole to keep from paying you, get paid by any means you can.

    You hit the nail right on the head, sir.

    Always be true to one's self. Don't regret or be ashamed of who you are.

  21. Love..... on Uncle Robin's Advice for Lovelorn Geeks · · Score: 1

    I am lucky to have a girl that loves me no matter what....

    After being together for three years, good times and bad times, losing common interests and finally regaining them, and going through the turbulent teenage years (we were 16 and 15 when we met), I still have a wonderful girl that supports me but gives me my space.

    She's stuck with me when I was a punk rock kid moving from house to house because my parents couldn't/wouldn't support me after getting off the streets, she's stuck with me through the beginning of my career and she's even suffered through my crazy times when all I could do was take out the stress of playing out of my league at work (somehow, being young AND having large reposnsibilities makes you a target at work sometimes) on the people I love the most.

    She's learned to respect my space with work and side projects. I've learned how not to become so aloof and how to be closer to her and others.

    Most importantly, we have things we work on together, completely unrelated to what we do at work/what we're going to school for.

    All I've ever had to do with her is just be myself. That's part of what the author was saying.... just be yourself! And the person who is right for you will find you. You will find each other. When you look so hard, you tend to overlook those people.

    It's extremely beautiful. We laugh together, we cry together, we share with others together, we dance together... we stare at the stars together and dream common dreams.

    I know this is mushy and stuph, but I am extremely happy I'm still with this girl. I know I'll get some skeptics, but we've already weathered the "you two are too different" and the "you are just being young and foolish" comments. We've gone through our parents trying too keep us seperated.

    I think there's someone for everybody. I know so, because the more deeply I love (not just her, but in my life) the more I see it happenng with others.

    My aunt told me "Your eyes will meet, you look at each other, and you'll know it, conciously or subconciously". And there's nothing that can stop you fro finding each other than yourself.

  23. Re:The Pixies on Ask Slashdot: What Music do you Code By? · · Score: 1

    I am definitely way stoked off the Pixies. Frank Black is truly off-the-wall king. Though my love of the Pixies has been superc3eded by elctronic music in general.

  24. Progressive Trance on Ask Slashdot: What Music do you Code By? · · Score: 1

    DJ Tiesto's spinning (and certain other things) have changed my life and my coding.... I have access to both emotional/sensual spheres and logical thought better when I'm listening to progressive tranc-e type music. As an added bonus, logical thought has helped me drop beats better too...

    just my thoughts.
