  1. Re:Airvertising in the near future? on Airship Inflated To Create Monster "Stratellite" · · Score: 1

    When I think of advertising on an airship, I always think of the the one in Syndicate: http://imgur.com/YwRYY.jpg

  2. "Practice of System and Network Administration" on Computer Textbooks For High Schoolers? · · Score: 1

    by Limoncelli, Hogan, and Chalup. http://snipurl.com/3m6u1 [www_amazon_com] It doesn't discuss OS specifics, but rather general skills on how to be a good admin, run a good helpdesk, etc. A very good book. I recommend it to any sysadmin.

  3. Men's Health on How Do Geeks Exercise? · · Score: 1

    The Men's Health magazine website has some really good workouts - with weights/equipment and without. They have workout directions you can print and videos you can download to your iPod. Men's Health Fitness

  4. Was Dr. Freeman one of the scientists... on "Cascade B" Particle Discovered At Fermilab · · Score: 0, Redundant

    who discovered this particle? If so, we might need to watch out for a Resonance Cascade.

  5. Re:Switzerland on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    A stance of neutrality is still the best.

    And certainly the most profitable.

  7. Re:Well.. on UK Schools Told to Dump Microsoft · · Score: 1

    As a former high school teacher in the States turned IT guy (not K-12 education), I can wholeheartedly agree with this poster. The problem, as he summarizes, is political.

    I am sure 'state contracts' really tie the hands of school IT folks who have a clue, but no permission to try something not on the 'approved' list.

    Bureaucracy sucks.

  8. Re:Good opportunity for those running from the law on Offshoring to a Ship in International Waters · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it worked well for all those James Bond villians.

    Wow, you're not bitter, are you?

    But with a 4-digit Slashdot ID, you probably have the right to be. :)

  11. Re:If you want to know how this works, ask *ME* on House Approves Electronic ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Yes, except for the fact it wasn't Reagan. It was Carter.

    This is from Carter's speech accepting the 1980 Democratic Presidential nomination:

    Now, what do the Republicans propose? Basically, their energy program has two parts... They want to eliminate the 55-mile speed limit.

    http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/shownomination.php? convid=6

    and here is Carter from the 1981 State of the Union address:

    In the area of accidental injury control, we have established automobile safety standards and increased enforcement activities with respect to the 55 MPH speed limit. By the end of the decade these actions are expected to save over 13,000 lives and 100,000 serious injuries each year.

    I was thinking the same thing. Of course, it won't work without the Douglas-Martin Solar Receptor Screens...

    I use spell check a lot, especially when posting here.

    Why? No one else does. :)

  15. Re:Follow the money (ala Mindcraft, ADTI, etc.) on U.S. IT jobs Down 400K Since 2001 · · Score: 1

    I've met many DP/IS/IT workers who should be doing something drasticly different.

    Ironic and funny - to me, anyway - I originally misread this sentence as:

  16. Re:We all know who really did this.... on Genesis Capsule Crashes; Chutes Blamed · · Score: 1
  17. Re:Specific solutions on Replacing FileMaker with Free Software? · · Score: 1

    Apple has a program called Powerschool.

    This might fit your needs.

  18. Let's offshore the CEOs! on Offshoring Trends Net Biotech Firms · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My friend Neal made the observation: wouldn't it be cheaper and just as effective to offshore the CEOs, leaving the jobs here?

  19. Corel, Novell, and SuSE on Corel To Test WordPerfect For Linux · · Score: 2

    My org is a WP shop. We are also heavily invested in Novell's NetWare, eDirectory, and ZENworks. I'm excited by the prospect of a native WP! With OO.org to handle occasional Word documents (worst case: Crossover office/Wine/etc.), I could actually see switching to Linux on the desktop.

    No more viruses, spy/adware, Bonzi Buddies, or the other million annoyances that go along with Windows. (I know, we would get a new and exciting batch of annoyances for SuSE.)

    I agree with many posters saying Corel screwed the pooch last time. Here's hoping they don't do it again.

  20. Re:Personal Flying Cars, Hydrogen fuel, not soon. on How Will We Get Around Near-Future Earth? · · Score: 1

    personal flight would single handedly start the "random house crash" epidemic

    ...followed closely by a huge increase in the number of personal injury lawyers specializing in "random house crash" cases.

  21. Re:LaTeX is the answer. on Adobe Kills FrameMaker for Mac · · Score: 1

    Is LaTeX or one of the other prertty TeX front ends available for Mac?

    Yes. I think the best is Texshop.
