  1. Re:I like imaging systems like this, but... on First Alpha of Public Sector Linux Deployment System · · Score: 1

    Preseeding is so much easier than FAI and seems less archaic, or so I think. Could you enlighten me in the advantages of FAI? (honest and sincere question here)

  2. Re:That's nice on First Alpha of Public Sector Linux Deployment System · · Score: 0

    oh not, Linux is not enterprise ready, my god. What a lie. Lets conveniently ignore IBM provides Linux support, google and gmail are running on that, amazon too, and a lot of the word servers are run in the linux-based Amazon cloud. And to your information, vmware is just a souped up Linux kernel.

  3. How about cutting sugar* on Plaque-busting Nanoparticles Could Help Fight Tooth Decay · · Score: 3, Informative

    Much like the tobacco industry in the 60s, the sugar industry has been lobbying right and left for not be of medical advice on the open to cut out on sweets, unlike it is done for alcohol and tobacco nowadays. Be proactive. It is far cheaper too.

  4. Re:Fake reviews on Amazon Sues To Block Fake Reviews · · Score: 2

    As a customer I can suspect, but not prove much. Amazon can very easily correlate reviews, users and the IP addresses behind them and act accordingly. They are just probably going first to the attorney for those actions do not backfire on them.

  5. Great PR. Sod off all the male workers, I just want females here, said in a "PR way", you say. Great PR. Are you an idiot or a moron?

  6. Anti? You would better read it again. Talking and having bias agains ANY gender is sexism. Or is is only sexism when it is from men against women? Maybe Oxford should fix their dictionaries ...

  7. Re:Ellen Pao is an idiot on Reddit CEO Ellen Pao Bans Salary Negotiations To Equalize Pay For Men, Women · · Score: 1

    Amen that I am not the only one recognising sexism when I see it.

    I have downloaded the tube vids for years now. Whats the point?

    The "force" part is easy, the devices locks itself after 30 days. Next...

  10. We are better at something on Reddit CEO Ellen Pao Bans Salary Negotiations To Equalize Pay For Men, Women · · Score: 1

    So you will get penalised for this. Here to my middle finger to you. It also does not hurt I am having a profit. They are not doing me a fucking favor hiring me, it is a contact negotiation. If people are assholes negotiating a contract, I will go somewhere else. Business is business.

  11. Re:What I want to know is... on Australian ISPs Must Hand Over Pirates' Info · · Score: 1

    creative accounting. No use tunneling more money for a full account, and paying more tax and royalties over that.

  12. Re:So they are being true to themselves on Sony Buys, Shuts Down OnLive · · Score: 1

    I am not talking about any corporation. I am talking about the worst of the lot, who had no qualms over decades t openly hostilize their own customers, directly or via proxy firms.

  13. Re:I dislike easter egg : security on Is This the Death of the Easter Egg? · · Score: 1

    I hate bosses like you that think they know what are doing, and just talk nonsense. It would help also learning a bit more of english. And I bet you come from a culture where your subordinates cannot point this at all.

  14. Some things are rare nowadays on Is This the Death of the Easter Egg? · · Score: 1

    It seems sense of humor, common sense and being technologically knowledgeable is out of fashion nowadays. Some head of devs on this thread show perfectly not being able to understand both their people and their technology. It is sad to have idiots as bosses that dictate rules without understanding nothing. Often as I say, more dangerous or sad than having a boss that understands nothing about the business is having one that thinks he understands something and just gets on the way of doing things. People being people, it is justly normal that easter eggs crop up. Hell, I am a sysadmin and in the training server I included pinguins saying fortune jokes and telneting it from the localhost got a cat running in ascii art. And then? It was just the training server, and I showed a couple of concepts to junior devs while doing it. Understand the concept? Stop being a damn PHB, an easter egg can be productive. It maybe a test case, or else used in training. You have stringent rules for the production system? Good, then reach a compromise and allow it in beta. Allow people to be people. You are developing some app for local business people? Than having an easter egg may not make any difference... The amount of douchbagness here really are up to a new level.

  15. I heard on Is This the Death of the Easter Egg? · · Score: 1

    The first versions of Windows where easter eggs hidden inside DOS...

  16. Re:Mamangement on Is This the Death of the Easter Egg? · · Score: 1

    How you dare to bring sanity and actual reasons for a stupid thread? (...) I actually had just theorised some comments above easter eggs could have an useful purpose. Actually when I worked as a programmer I hid a couple of useful ones.

  17. Re:Mamangement on Is This the Death of the Easter Egg? · · Score: 1

    Comments here are not supposed to be people understanding anything. I would count myself lucky if my managers understood my work, but that is just human nature trying to talk about what they do not understand.

    So nobody of you recognised the easter egg could we be some testing function for some routine and actually productive work.

    Top of the technology emulation technology from the 90s. What's next?

  22. Re:So they are being true to themselves on Sony Buys, Shuts Down OnLive · · Score: 1

    Nobody said others do not do it. There are however some worse than others, and that do not clearly deserve your money. At least some pretend to care.

  23. Re:Long time dev preferences on Ask Slashdot: What Makes a Good Work Environment For Developers and IT? · · Score: 1

    And if you cannot give an office, at least try and enforce some common sense rules. No music at all, people bring their headphones, and no loud servers on the open areas, there are, or there should be rooms for that. Strictly off limits to clients, customers or partners. You have meeting rooms for that.

  24. more freedom and flex time to senior workers on Ask Slashdot: What Makes a Good Work Environment For Developers and IT? · · Score: 1

    If they know what they are doing, give them flextime. About free food, I would not get into that. Each has their own preferences. As for coffee, I enjoy a free coffee once in a while, but going for the cafeteria is a good excuse for a needed break or informal meetings. Rid me of the bullshit meetings with the bosses, and worse it of the petty RH affairs. Try and avoid people walking in all the time on the office. Better create a meeting zone out. Enforce the Helpdesk approach. We also well know the performance meetings do no mean anything, they are just show and tell. Unless they translate into raises (most places never do), try and make the method more informal. Want to create more perks? Also no room to give raises? Give people training.

  25. Re:What about my game purchases? on Sony Buys, Shuts Down OnLive · · Score: 1

    I have purchased MSDOS and a Windows 95 dictionary back on the day. Refund? Lawsuit? Read the EULA?
