  20. Re:Less Choice on Groklaw Tries Their Own Linux Usability Study · · Score: 1

    i agree. i have knoppix and just for a text editor, there are at least 4 or 5 text editors available. same for all other apps. and most apps doesnt even have descriptive names/titles (or icons to give the slightest hint on what it does). one thing more, from the KDE GUI, when a program doesnt run (just vanished or did not execute as expected), there is no single error message.

  22. Dozimeter == Dosimeter on Chernobyl...18 Years Later · · Score: 2, Informative

    for those who know what it is (like me), heres from wikipedia :

    A dosimeter is a pen-like device that measures the cumulative dose of radiation received by the device. It is usually clipped to one's clothing to measure one's actual exposure to radiation. Magnifying lenses (a low-power microscope) and an illumination lens allow one to directly read the dose by aiming the illumination lens at a light source and looking into the device.

  24. Re:Resume is more important on Working Around Bad Luck on the Resume? · · Score: 1

    why? how about me? I had 7 jobs within 6 years, with my first job the longest (3 years). I had different reasons but most them is because of better offers you cant resist. most IT companies can ditch you anytime and it happened to at least once. The longest gap i had between jobs is 1 month (delayed by waiting for finalizing diff offers) and my skills are very much in demand. I think job hopping in IT industry is normal. Look at all those job ads you see in the mailing list and job sites : "this is a 3 month contract", "this is a 6 month contract" etc. They want the best guys but dont plan on keeping them. So I think its just fair.
