  1. Get rid of road noise. on Fake Engine Noise Is the Auto Industry's Dirty Little Secret · · Score: 1

    I don't need the fake engine noise, I would just love for them to get rid if the road noise. So many new cars sound like you are in a wind tunnel at interstate speed.

  2. Good software, Really Complex on Freeside Internet Services: Doing Well With Purely Free Software (Video) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I actually had Ivan install Freeside and train the staff when I was still running a dialup ISP. The software is a bear to install, but mainly because it is so massive a piece of software. At the end of the day, Freeside saved us a ton of man hours by automating most of the administrative tasks like account suspension and billing. Since I used it last Freeside has gotten loads of new functionality. It was well worth the initial cost of having Ivan come out and install, transfer our old accounting info, and train the staff.

    No I don't work for Freeside or Slashdot.

  3. Open admin for schools on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Software To Manage Student Grades? · · Score: 2

    http://richtech.ca/openadmin/ looks pretty good. It has more features than you are looking for but it definitely has an online grade book and report card function.

  4. When it is my code the problem is always... on AMD Confirms CPU Bug Found By DragonFly BSD's Matt Dillon · · Score: 1

    a hardware issue. When it is developed by someone else, then it is a software issue, at least that is what I tell my boss.

  5. Wow on Pay Or Else, News Site Threatens · · Score: 1

    And I thought Rupert Murdoch was crazy, these guys take the cake.

  6. BSD on GPL to be Modified to Penalize Patents and DRM · · Score: 1

    Yet another reason to stick with BSD, they don't mind if I make money...

  7. Take it for the right price. on Realistic Sysadmin Workload for a Company of 30? · · Score: 1

    I actually came from the opposite direction, I was an admin at an ISP, asked to do some simple programming. Of course as the programs evolved they took more and more of my time. Honestly programming takes loads more time the network administration. Well except for the 1% of the time that a server crashes or the boss suddenly realizes he deleted an entire web directory. Still I would say at least 1-2 hours a day of admin stuff, just keeping up with security and stupid user requests. Also realize that you are going to be the default tech support guy for everyone in the office if you accept.

  8. Who needs science..... on Do You Want to Live Forever? · · Score: 1

    I have the immortality rings, all you need is a little magnetism

  9. What works for me. on Sleeping Problems? · · Score: 1

    I have had problems sleeping since I was a child. I have taken prescription drugs to help me sleep.(Under Doctors Orders) I have been tested for sleep apnia, nothing really helped. After some therapy I realized that trouble sleeping equated with stress. The thing to do is get out of bed and start writing. No not writing out my feelings per se. Just kind of a stream of conciousness thing. Usually in about 15 mins I have a plan of attack and start to get tired. Aside from that sex really works well, but generally only with another person. :)

  10. The Best Of Both Worlds on Build From Source vs. Packages? · · Score: 1

    Hey, why not switch to BSD and use the ports system, it keeps everything standardized and with tools like portupgrade, its just about as simple as a package install.
