  1. Re:Glad to know federated IM will work again on Google Reinstates Federated Jabber/XMPP Instant Messaging · · Score: 1

    I'll be completely happy when they get presence to work too. No idea what that requires on their end...

  2. Best compilation of science fiction I've found on Among Others Wins Hugo For Best Novel · · Score: 1

    If you like sci-fi and have trouble finding material to read, look for Gardner Dozois' collections on Amazon. He's been doing them for years and I've bought all that I can find. I just finished reading “The Man Who Bridged the Mist” and I'm glad it won; great story.

  3. Re:You know why Amazon charges that much? on Build Your Own $2.8M Petabyte Disk Array For $117k · · Score: 1

    "I don't know how long this will take, honey. Tech support is helping me take my equipment up and down a few times..."

  4. Re:I wonder... on US Trustee Asks To Send SCO Into Chapter 7 · · Score: 1

    You mean like Microsoft and IBM working together on OS/2, only to have Microsoft bail and develop NT?

    Not sure why SCO lost it afterwards in suing everyone. People will take a certain amount of s*** for good results, but SCO seems to have missed that point.

  5. Play area... on Options For a Laptop With a Broken Screen? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I did the same thing with a laptop several years ago. I ended up putting Ubuntu on it and used it as a server for a few websites (Plone/Zope, MRTG, NTP, DNS/DHCP) and some other things at home. Works well, is quiet and tucks away nicely.

    Alternately, I hear that vSphere will have better hardware compability/support, so you might be able to fit v4 on it and run several VMs of your choice.

  6. Using VMWare? on Where Has All My Spam Gone? · · Score: 1

    Maybe their spam email servers were running 3.5p2? The fixed ISO just got released, so they'll be back up soon.

  7. Re:Oh, boy! on Scientists Challenge U.S. on Scientific Distortions · · Score: 1

    I think you missed the big picture. My kids are going to enter the workforce and pay taxes/Social Security to the government, which will support you and I when we retire. You're paying the $10 now, and I'm paying the $10 in a deferred manner to get the same future benefit that only I am ensuring by having kids. I do pity that you might miss the fun of kids by thinking of them as a burden or alternative.
