  1. Try Opera on Write Your Congressman -- If You Use IE · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Opera IMO works better then mozilla and has an option to identify itself as MSIE. Normally when I find a site that requires IE I flip opera to identify as IE and it all works :-) Awesome Browser

  2. Re:What relevance does the Dreamcast have? on Attack Of The Dreamcasts · · Score: 1

    In the real world of business most companies are on 10/100 hubs and switches but NO they don't lock down the MAC addresses. That is a lot of work and the percieved risk is minimized when you are not in a company populated by assumed computer geeks.

  3. Imagine not on Attack Of The Dreamcasts · · Score: 1

    If you hid the wire and just had it sitting there or under a desk most people wouldn't think twice about it. Heck even with the wire mose people wouldn't think twice.

  4. Visual Studio on Recommended Text Editors for Win32? · · Score: 1

    Let's face it...I must have turned to the darkside. The IDE with visual studio works decently....... For everything else there is ED for windows http://www.nusphere.com.

  5. IDE Raid is only for small servers on Hardware IDE/SCSI RAID for Windows 2000 Servers? · · Score: 1

    The nature if IDE is Synchronous transfer..Only one drive can talk at a time. RAID is ok on ide for redundancy but will never be anywhere near as fast as a SCSI drive. I would never implement IDE RAID in an enviroment other then just to play.

  6. Nothing is Wrong with Wi-Fi on Cable Companies Saying No to WiFi Sharing · · Score: 1

    If you buy a car and share it with your neighbor..Ford can't stop you can they. The ISP contract states your get X transfer rate then it is there job to provide X transfer rate. If you use X transfer rate constantly and it is cutting into there profits then they messed up. Now they have an alternative. You get X Transfer rate with Y bytes of transfer per period. Easy they cut you off after you reach your byte cap and then you pay if you want more. Sounds like a reasonable solutions to me. Of course they can't do that until your contract is up.

  7. Where do I buy Some on Low-Tech Cell Phone Blocking · · Score: 1

    finally a real solution. I want this stuff in the walls of every conference room in my office building. I might actually be able to have a meeting without being disturbed them.

  8. Let's Look at it honestly on No Love From Microsoft For Xbox Modders · · Score: 1

    This entire thing is ridiculous. Having the chip is not morally wrong. Running Linux on your X-Box is not Morally wrong. Copying your friends game and running it on your modded xbox..now that is morally wrong. Legally they are all wrong. Quit bitching to the masses and bitch to your congressman. That is the only want this changes.

  9. Forget The Counter on Is it Wrong to Accept an Employment Counter-Offer? · · Score: 1

    If you had really thought they wanted you that bad you would have asked for a raise earlier. I would take the new job. When a company counter's like that they have a horrible habit of thinking you are money hungry. That means if they get a chance to replace you they will. They counter in the meantime because they don't want to have the position unfilled. Never deal with the counter offers.

  10. Re:I *hate* DB programming in PHP! on Web Database Applications with PHP & MySQL · · Score: 1

    Not so true. There are PHP libraries out there that exist to serve this purpose. Include the library, tell it which dB you are using and all the rest of the code is the same. Check out ADODB. To see it in action, check out PostNuke. I find it rather nice :-)

  11. Thinkgeek.com on Father's Day, Geek Style? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Check out ThinkGeek.Com. Lot's of cool toys to tinker with. Personally I think the Binary Clock is cool.

  12. A very hard task on Making Users Back Up Important Data? · · Score: 1

    You can try training as much as you want but in my expierience users never listen all that well. Of course one or two will but on the whole the group won't. You can automate it for them which is the best in the users eyes. If all your workstations are desktops on all the time you can write a quick batch script to Xcopy the mydocuments and other data folders to your server where they can be backed up nightly. Then notify the users that these are the standard folders that get backed up. Finally you can do nothing. There are those that backup and those that will. If they lose something valuable they usually start backing up :-)

  13. PostNuke on Weblogs as Base for Knowledge Management Systems? · · Score: 2, Informative

    In your search for content management systems check out www.postnuke.com. It is a fork of the PHP-Nuke project. It is run much better. It is more secure, as seen in buqtrac, and they have rewritten the entire core. It is truly much nicer then phpnuke. Not to mention the fact that phpnuke is a one man show and postnuke has dozens of developers. With a little enginuity you should be able to get your weblog written as a module but it will require some coding :-) Good Luck!

  14. Had this happen to me on University Network Policies and Punishment? · · Score: 1

    I had a similar situation when I was in school. The issue I had was not wireless but I had set-up a hub in the room so multiple machines could have access. I came home to find my networking equipment confiscated. I was without service for 4 days while I had to agree not to do it again. At this time they returned my hardware. I was only allowed to have one computer hooked up. So enter Linux, a masquerade...and the rest of the year went confortable as all my machines had access!!!

  15. ERP on Linux...I use QAD's MFG/Pro on CRM for Linux? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There are ERP solutions for Linux without a doubt. Just don't expect a free one. I work with MFG/Pro from QAD QAD. Runs great on Linux!!!
