  1. Don't need a converter to use a desktop monitor on How To Deploy a Game Console In the Office? · · Score: 0

    The 360 can output vga without conversion, you can buy the cable (1st party) anywhere. Most modern monitors can handle hd modes supported by the 360 so it works out quite well. The cable includes rca plugs for sound, you can probably find a ready made converter to go from rca to a 3.5" jack for headphones at any radioshack.

  2. Slightly crass on Your Favorite Support Anecdote · · Score: 0

    Out of 11 "favorite support anecdotes" two are just low brow female sexual references. Maybe it is only me but its seems a sort of sad comment on the state of gender perception in the industry.

  3. You mean X Window eye candy? on Preview of X Windows Eye Candy · · Score: -1, Redundant

  4. Re:SCO lawsuit on Slashback: Rendering, Munich, Clones · · Score: 2, Insightful

    hmmm... last time i checked, "all the available documentation" did not include any actual evidence (unless you are now under a sco nda?). all the information you could possibly obtain from novell couldn't help you there... it seems a bit strange that you could arrive at such a conclusion without knowing what sco's "proof" is, no matter how good a lawyer you may be. then again i am no lawyer, so what do i know? - cheers!

  5. desktop linux on Is Linux Dead? · · Score: 1

    this article is clearly directed at non-it professionals and therefore makes use of the typical ms smokescreen. according ms, any os lives and dies by the home user's desktop. any technology professional can tell you this is a farce, the real money is made in the server room. If you doubt this, compare the earnings ms generates from office, the backoffice suites, and of course nt/2000 to their desktop software earnings (98,xp, etc...). the server room is also where *nix has never been subplanted as the dominant os. while true that many small companies begin a sever room with windows, i'm not aware of a single large company without a dominating *nix presence. the reason of course is that ms simply doesn't scale.

    windows is in fact be the most pervasive os for the desktop, but this article ignores another equally important fact (in terms of profit and sucess): windows is also the most pirated os.

    the fud comments made in the article clearly are meant to color the perception of home users, and managers with no technology background. but luckily for us, the truth stands the test of time, while despite all of the press available the mis-information will eventually be exposed.
