  1. Re:Congrads to Codeweavers and the WineHG Team! on CrossOver Office 5 and Wine 0.9 Released · · Score: 1

    I was under the impression that IBM stopped development of Lotus SS to focus on Notes and Domino. I can't find any relevant text, but that's what I heard.

    The software would have had to been on a company computer at some point in time, or they wouldn't have been able to do any sort of testing. If they were somehow able to claim ownership and try to license to the company, the company could fire them for serveral things, such as uanathorized use of company equipment, installing potentially dangerous software, uanathorized access of confidentail company data and probably a laundry list. They'd be unably to market their software and out of a job. The company will simply have to backfill two less technical positions.

    Been there, done that.

  7. What I know: on Deciphering the Brain's Love Map · · Score: 1

    How love works to men is how cars work to women.
    Most women don't worry about how a car turns gas into a trip to the mall.
    It's been my experience that men shouldn't concern themselves with rules or observed phenomena when it comes to love.
    Every time I've tried to pick it apart, I can't seem to get the pieces back together to make it work again.
    I'm taking my own advice and not addressing the issue.

  12. A/S/L on Not Just Playing House · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There are a handfull of girl gamers on the server I play on. Some are even hot. But they don't try to exploit the fact that they are female. And I wouldn't have that much respect for them if they did. I have found that they prefer not to be treated different. They want to shoot things up, not answer asl's. Conversely, I've seen male players with seemingly female names greatly disappoint their teammates.

    This is not insightful, it's obvious. Is there a mod for that?

    Yes, because the people who have a vested interest in television and the rest who stare blankly at it for hours on end, yes their opionions matter to me.

    ...how long will HBO keep producing good content?

    How long before they start? Granted, it's probably better than regular television or standard cable/sat. But hardly worth the money and hassel.

  19. Start, modify and spread rumors. on Implementing the Bureaucratic Black Arts? · · Score: 1

    Don't be known as a gossip, but make sure the right people hear the right things at the oh so convenient, right time. Mix truth with fiction. Mention you 'heard' someone say something without sommiting to a name. Use scenarios. Find someone to discuss such things so that they might be overheard.

  20. From the horse's mouth... on Unreliable Linux Dumped from Crest Electronics · · Score: 1
    Got this info from one of SAP's 27 success list, specifically in the distribution industry list. I didn't provide what the 'solution' involved was, and subsequent hardware requirements. But I think it's probably safe to say that whatever you have will run. I put my money on Crest having a 'people' problem.

  21. Re:Windows vs Linux on Unreliable Linux Dumped from Crest Electronics · · Score: 1

    Tell that to SAP. Speaking from a user's standpoint, their new GUI sucks balls. You all but have to use the freaking mouse. That's great for people who type with thier index fingers then click [OK]. But for those of us that prefer a keyboard only, and usually more efficient approach, you have to jump several hurdles just to kick back to the old style interface. Not to mention all those pretty little splash pictures that unnecessarily put more load on the outdated desktops we have to use. Freakin idiots.

    Most schools do this. As long as you have something to show for the effort and can explain a defined reason for each course, they'll give you the degree.
