    How does the title of "Station Manager" sound to you?

  3. I was trying to remember that one. on TechTV.com RIP · · Score: 1

    And with Freshmeat, there would have to be Themes. You know, they could expand the idea into pretty things in general. FreshMeat ][ could be a general cover for the Forge & Savannah (and you could dump themes and pretty things there as well). Just before every commercial break, take half a minute to show off someone navigating their desktop with pretty themes enabled and so forth....

  8. Open Source Developers....Network on TechTV.com RIP · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Think about it for a second...it's just begging for a change in meaning.

    Programming would almost certainly be sparse for a while:

    SlashDot
    - On the Hour and Twice a Day,
    - News for the nerdy crowd
    ThinkGeek
    - Half an Hour of the Coolest Shopping,
    - And whatever else they scrape up.
    Forge & Savannah
    - What released this very day??
    - What might be the coolest thing today?
    Open Magazine
    - Let's bring it back with full force.
    - Or combine with the half-dozen LinMags
    Open Testing
    - True Benchmarks
    - Performed Live!
    Security Watch
    - The most important show
    - Most likely to expand into a spinoff
    Gamer's Dungeon
    - And for the less geeky...
    - Or is the extremely geeky?
    FX Designs of...
    - Most /. users would watch this.
    - Most people would watch this!
    UberGeek Interview
    - If you stretch the meaning...

    - What colour blackberry is hot?

  9. *picturing UserFriendly strip* on Australia's Largest ISP Redefines Spam · · Score: 1

    Stef convinces Pointy Head that its easy to track spammers. I see the whole staff of Columbia Internet explaining to dozens of people why their personal lists got flagged. "Have you considered Jabber?"

    Oh, wait, better, a web page that says, "Just click this button to automagically send a complaint to our PHB and Marketting department that you're not a spammer and offer them a chance to be on your personal joke/pr0n/anime list. Additionally, just to clarify, their email addresses are phb@columbia-internet.com and putz@columbia-internet.com. Since they're in charge of this decision, feel free to add them to any list that you think will make them happy or, at least, keep them from flagging down perfectly innocent people like you."

    Huge button.

    Another AJ to the rescue strip, which will bring the total upto *check* four.

  10. Well, this should be entertaining. on Australia's Largest ISP Redefines Spam · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If that happened here, I could only imagine the number of pseudo-mass-mailers that would have issues. You know, the people that send almost EVERYBODY WHOSE EMAIL ADDRESS THEY EVER HAD the greatest joke they read this morning, or funniest picture or....

    Even I could get screwed over! After releasing a newsletter, which goes out upto 10 addresses (half in BCC), I get to hours old email, dashing through as much as I can, which tends to probably push the limit about once a month.

    Besides, this problem could only be gotten around...oh, what, a dozen ways? Zombies, protocol switching, virii (have to write your own) and lets not forget remote accounts and any combinations you could come up with. Signal to noise is most certainly going to be difficult for Big Pond. As much as I dislike what they've done, I sincerily feel for their tech support.

  15. I think you're missing it. on Netcraft Web Server Stats Challenged · · Score: 1
    Hi Sevn,

    The point being made has absolutely nothing to do with an undefendable position. You see, you need to seperate the idea of Method, Implementation and Interpretation; remember all those annoying reports that suggest Windows is more secure/stable/flexible than Linux, and remember how we were all enraged...until we found out that even though Method, Implementation or Interpretation was upto the surveyors standards, at least one of the others was decided by the paying company?

    It's like that here. Port80's method, the Method, which is what was being discussed by servoled, probably has number of good points. The questionability comes from, both, their Implementation, with the crashing software and so forth, and the Interpretaion, which is commercially influenced by their product ServerMask.

  16. No F*ing S* on Yahoo Reminds Users That 'No' Doesn't Mean 'No' · · Score: 1

    I know I deleted all the accounts I used in the early days no later than 2 1/2 years ago! Thank god (never thought I'd say this) that theglobe.com went under, because the other two were there!

    I apologise to the new theglobe company, specifically, if there is a user "ericzen" there.

    Seriously, though, what the F* is up with Yahoo! anyhow? I really, honestly did consider emailing some appropriate FCC-related department about this. Maybe I should be thinking BBB. I tried to login, and I was told to fuggoff; I tried deleting, I was told to login; I tried clicking the "got this in error" link, and I was told "uh-uh, we know you just tried logging" message (connotative interpretation).

    Yahoo! needs to be phased-out.

    F* Yahoo! F*'em up their stupid F*ing A*es! CockF*ers!

  17. And then there were trolls. on Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 Removes Linux Support · · Score: 1, Insightful

    On a more serious note, I bet this'll get rid of the few people who still think MS is holding up its fair share of the interoperability departments.

    I wonder if anyone will bother to bring this to the attention of the Supreme Court. They, apparently, don't care about monopoly practices unless someone with money tells them that its happening.

    I wonder how this might affect their current stock issue?

    EP geeks are TOTAL losers.

  19. OASIS is cute but on StarOffice 7, GNOME-Office 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Only one thing is actually a standard, and Abi's the only one using it, XSL-FO.

    Microsoft's xml office will be a binarified version of that with a few proprietary extensions and block -layout object requests for desktop-publishing-like capabilities.

    OASIS is just as good a variation of as Microsoft's own, except it's not in binary form (but they do have a compressor in OOo).

    Go standardisation!

  20. Whose documentation? on StarOffice 7, GNOME-Office 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Um...if it's on the AbiSource site, it's probably AbiWord's, unless credited to elsewhere.

  21. It's coming, sort of, eventually on StarOffice 7, GNOME-Office 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    When last we met our hero, Dom was contemplating and otherly licensed plugin to use Link and possibly other, lesser applications. Link, however, currently limits the languages to English and German. If you have a better idea, we're all really open ears....

    It's in at least two newsletters and probably four times in the past year on the mailing lists. You need only google the abisource site for references to KDE and you will most certainly find it in a short order.

  23. Not Quite So. on IBM's New Linux Advertising · · Score: 1

    I'm on a GNU/Linux desktop. Though that may seem geeky, in this town, just about every business is...of course, I did install those in particular in the past two...three years. People like them.

    How is Linux (the POSIX environment is your real point) harder to programme for? Have you see the S* you can do with Python? You know how easy it is to explain Python to VBKiddy?

    Actually, signal stations, airports and two embedded systems for cars use Linux as the base.

    Actually, it's only the free stuff doesn't do DRM. I guess you're just one of those Windows free-loaders.....

    If you've never been forced to upgrade your Windows computer, that means ither your Windows system is over 3 years old or your computer is under 3 years old...or both. It's not abnormal for a company that hasn't upgraded in, say, four or five years to upgrade one thing (an accounting programme for example) and suddenly finding themselves needing "new everything."

    Most distros are available on CD's. Distros include software needed to make your computer run. Ergo, gfys.

  25. I've seen this movie twice on Renegade Reverse Engineering - John Woo Style · · Score: 1

    In its original form, and in "Mystery Science Theater 3000"

    It's more well known under the classic title "Overdrawn at the Memory Bank".

    It's a very good B-List movie, worth taking note of!

    I'm sure this one, however, like the recreation of "Minority Report", will probably rock the blockbuster.

    For all 3 of the 9 people that will ever read this and get it, ROCK ON!
