  2. Re:IE requirement? on Thin Client Solutions For Libraries? · · Score: 1

    exactly, drop IE, go to Firefox.

    And for the love of gawd, POLICIES AND PROFILES!!!

    XP is not _that_ bad. With just a few tweaks, you can lock down almost anything. If you only want to run Word, Excel, etc, Then use the restrict run key (wow, what a concept). XP/2003 has over 400 policy options!!!!! compared to around 200 on Win2000.

    If a machine starts acting funny, then drop your image from the Ghost Console server. It will shutdown the machine, drop the image, rename it, and reboot it. You'll be back to normal in about 15-20min on an average network. And it only takes one or two clicks!!

    I'm almost convienced that people who complain about XP's stability, blue screens, etc will have the same problem no matter where they go, Mac, Linux, whatever. They'll try to run all their favorite apps at the same time (Bonzi Buddy, Hot Shots, Weather Bug, and all that other crap) and wonder why their machine is so slow.

    the best password is to have no password

    along the same line.... what's the shortest distance between two points?


    the shortest distance is to have NO distance at all. (Try the folding paper trick)
    If you said a straight line, that'll do for now.

  5. Re:What makes this a killer? -----AMEN on Introduction To Inkscape And Its Future · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    a-fukin-man, I'll believe "Illustrator-killer" when I see 3D objects, texturing, lighting, SWF animations, etc.

    The latest version of Illustrator CS will kick Inkscape's dick in the dirt.

    Look... I'm sure Inkscape is great n'all, but "Illustrator-killer"???

  6. nah, get a youth league aluminum bat (no joking) on The Urban Geek As A Mugger Magnet? · · Score: 1

    Just get one of these flashy bats and carry it on your back outside your backpack. Make sure the bat is a brite green or orange and is easily accessible (ah la evil-dead-shotgun) small size bats

    ya, MS has both sides covered. It's a Win-Win for MS. from the article:

    Those found to be engaging in abusive behavior forfeit a cash bond of up to $20,000, Gillis said.

    "When you add these up over time, it will be uneconomical to send out spam," said Microsoft spam specialist George Webb.


    I like it. If people are allowed to opt out of REQUESTED mail from "legitimate marketers", great. And if the marketers continue to send spam, then I get $20,000, WOOOHOOO!

    .....ohhh wait

    well now that I've read the conclusion, the author seems to agree that Bender is from India. :)

  12. specifications are useful...... to robots on MIT Studies Software Development Processes · · Score: 0, Troll

    specifications are for people who are told what to.

    This really shouldn't be a suprise to anyone who reads slashdot. Every week or so we see a story about Company X exporting IT jobs to India. Where do you think they get their specs from?

    Lindows is using a stolen image from Klowner, who's using a stolen style from Apple (read:Aqua Tux), who's using a stole system from Xerox, ...

    Side note, is it just me or has this shading technique been over used. I'm starting to see this stuff on cereal boxes.
