  1. Re:Who cares on MySQL Quietly Drops Support For Debian Linux [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure I agree (I have great results with 5.0), but even so, how is that related to support?

  2. Who cares on MySQL Quietly Drops Support For Debian Linux [UPDATED] · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've been using Mysql for many years, through several companies, small and large. Never once has mysql support ever been requested / needed -- it's rock solid. What does support conist of anyway, help with sql syntax?

    I doubt most Debian users will care.

  3. lame on Stephen Colbert vs The Hungarian Government · · Score: 0

    What is this crap. Sounds more like a pre-teen blog post than anything news worthy.

  4. fedora - ubuntu on Beginning Ubuntu Linux · · Score: 1

    I did up a bit on switching from Fedora / Susu to Ubuntu, and why I thought it was a good idea.

  5. Re:Lifestyle on Canada Moves to Keep Skilled Workers · · Score: 1

    Depends where you are.

    If your in any of the border states, chances are, other places in Canada have a lesser winter. Victoria BC, were I am now has a very mild winter (no show).

  6. Re:Much of Canada included too... on Google Launches Mapping Service · · Score: 1

    Though arguably Canada might as well be a state, we aren't yet

    What are you smokin.

  7. Telus w/ Aircard 555 on Linux Support for Wireless Laptop Internet? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I use the Aircard 555 with telus wireless in Canada. Sierra has an "UNSUPPORTED" driver for the AirCard that took me only a few minutes to get going. The coverage and speeds telus claims are another story (only really good in major centers), but otherwise no problems.

    Note the linux drivers do not include support for "extra features" like voice mail etc.

  8. Uhh... on Making Holograms In The Kitchen · · Score: 1

    For what's new in gnome 2.8 (from 2.6 in code 2), see http://www.gnome.org/start/2.8/notes/rnwhatsnew.ht ml

    Screenshots included.

  10. Macpac on Advice On Notebook Backpacks? · · Score: 1

    Macpac New Zealand is most know for Alpine / tramping gear, but have a great laptop bag called Thinktank.

    I have 3 packs from them... hard to beat. Best of they have a lifetime warranty.

  11. Feet are your friends on Segway Revolutionizes Polo · · Score: 1

    The good old US of A is one of the Fattest countries in the world. This is about the last thing it needs.

  12. Oracle is a global company. on Oracle To Add R&D Centers In China · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Oracle outfits companies around the globe. They advertise themselves as a global company. If they open local office, it's hardly outsourcing.

    If my company in New Zealand, or Canada, or wherever, made a billion dollars in the states, and decided it was time to open up a US office,would be out sourcing? Don't be so fucking greedy.

  13. I'm sweet on Fedora Core Doesn't Like to Dual Boot? · · Score: 1

    Though I had a problem booting my Winders partition on FC2 test 1, final worked a treat.

  14. Pointless on Successful PearPC/Mac OS X Install Documented · · Score: 1

    What a waste of time. A pretend version of Unix running on pretend version of Mac?

    What not just install Linux?

    Man I've had some stories turned down in my day, but what the hell.

  18. Re:Fair enough on HP to Globally Launch Linux-Based PCs · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but when I first got into computers, I was more interested in hacking my machine to bits than making excel spreadsheets and stroking the MS paper clip. Any 15 year old hit who has half a brain will eventually realize the limitations of Windows and upgrade to Linux.

    Well I doubt they're going to come out with a stable one for win32.

    Dear no... I would never suggest a windows user compile anything!!!

    "This site, www.gimp.org, only distributes the source code to the GIMP (the building blocks). You can however download executable versions from the following sites:

    Jernej Simoncic provides an installer program that automates the installation process. This is the most convenient way to install the GIMP for Windows.

    If you can't figure out how to run a batch file, you probably shouldn't be running photoshop or gimp.

    Hrm. Yes. I wonder how obscure slashdot would be if it was run on McWindows.

    Have you been to the Philippines? I spent 4 hours in traffic getting from the central city to the airport -- a drive that would have normally taken 30 minutes.
