  1. Re:Of course on RIAA Now Targets Pirates' Parents · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sure, you let a friend use your handgun for target practice and he shoots the cashier. Why wouldn't you be guilty. Oh wait, you wouldn't.

  2. Re:What If SCO Sues You? on Gartner Says Delay Linux Deployment Due to SCO · · Score: 1

    Here's the deal. I'm using software that is distibuted that infringes. I can easily switch to another platform.

    The likelihood of me being sued by SCO is next to zero as it is for every other Linux using company out there. When they sue RedHat, Suse, Mandrake, etc and win I'll be concerned. Until then I'm using Linux and smiling all the way to the bank. No BSA Audits, no pissed off former employees turning me in. I (my company) buy licenses for everything and audit my users systems internally, it is a violation of our policy to install illegal software, music, etc.. so they get a write up the first time, fired the next.

    I let my employees have mp3's as long as they are on their computer (not shared) and they burn them from CDs they bring to work (they have to own them). For the most part this hasn't been a problem since there is very little time for music when you're working your ass off. I like to run my business like this > Work your ass off, then go home early. More productive in less hours == happy employees.

  3. Why? on Gartner Says Delay Linux Deployment Due to SCO · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you select the proper tools and decide in the future linux isn't for you, just recompile and move on.

    SCO will not affect linux at all. Hell my whole company runs on linux and I'm not switching a damn thing till something is proven.

  10. When was the last time you bought windows? on Red Hat To Drop Boxed Retail Distribution · · Score: 1

    Seriously, I have 8 licenses and have never bought a retail copy. Plus I have an MSDN subscription (Universal) and can install each authenticated OS & piece of software 10 times.

    I have never had the need to buy a copy of windows in a store.

  11. How many different uses for SOHO are there? on SOHO Is Back · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Seriously, there must be thousands.

    Example:
    I was reading this article about SOHO (SOlar and Heliospheric Observatory) in my SOHO (Small Office Home Office) while this SOHO (SOrority wHOre) was blowing me.

  13. Re:Gotcha: Managers Are Made, Not Born on How to Become a PHB? · · Score: 1

    You can also go work for a consulting firm and stay there until you are a manager/partner (Ernst & Young, PWC, KPMG, etc...). Once the right opportunity comes along take it. When I worked for a Big 5(?) firm (the one that no longer exists) almost 50% of our clients had one of their CIO/CEO/COO/CFO/CIO types from the firm. They work with you for years then trust you to the point to offer you the position when it's available. Since you generally know their business anyway it's an easy pick for them.

    Good luck, consulting firms will run your ass in the ground before you get this opportunity.

    Maybe just start your own company, you'll immediately be the CEO, CFO, CIO, etc! I am!!!!

  14. Re:Reality vs. Fantasy on Game Makers Aren't Chasing Women · · Score: 1

    Why would girls play games when dating is the ultimate reality game. Hell my wife won't stop playing and we've been married for 3+ years.

  15. He was right on .NET Version of Quake II · · Score: 3, Informative

    By running as managed code (this is REAL .Net) it was 15% slower. By running non-managed (no CLR) it was full speed (or 15% faster than the managed .Net code).

    VC++.Net is just the same as VC++ 6 with a different IDE as long as you're not using managed code. If you are using managed code you might as well program in VB or C#, it all compiles to the same shit.

  19. Helping people is okay on Howard Dean to Guest Blog for Lawrence Lessig · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    As long as you're not a fucking republican.

    If there were any justice in the world we'd round up all republicans, put them on an island and let them try to fuck each other over until they are no more. Since only white males need apply (we'd leave the tokens like Uncle JC Watts out) they would be gone in one quick generation.

    A party that holds Regan, Bush (if he was so good why wasn't he re-elected?), GWBush, Thurmond, Lott, Army, etc, as their idols is of no use to anyone.

    Ever wonder why when a democrat is in office things generally go well? Less war, less poverty, less crime, less republicans. Better policy.
