  1. Re:Hahaha - incorrect on U.S. Justice Dept. Chooses Corel over Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Sold? Some would say 'dumped' with the clear intention of harming Corel's stock value, which certainly did happen.

  2. Auxiliary 12 volt wire? on Electronic Gadget Ideas for a New House? · · Score: 1

    Auxiliary 12 volt wire?

  3. Georgia on Opera Claims Microsoft Has Poor Interoperability · · Score: 1

    Georgia is beautiful? Ick!

  4. Re:Seems logical on Oregon's Governor Backs Open Source Development · · Score: 1

    You are confused. Those are bums, not hippies.

  5. Re:Well, since it rains 363 days of the year there on Oregon's Governor Backs Open Source Development · · Score: 1

    Oh please, you are exagerating. It only averages 335 days of rain a year.

  7. Re:GroupWise mail support on the server on Novell to port Evolution to Windows · · Score: 2, Informative

    The beta part is having Evolution connect to a Groupwise server, which is rather unlike servers that Evolution was originally intended to connect to. If you are running Linux and want to connect to a Groupwise server you can use Groupwise client for Linux. Groupwise server supports the Outlook client so what it appears they may be actually doing is making a transition of the groupware client from Groupwise while retaining the server component, cross-platform. It would be a lovely thing indeed. Novell server products tend to be excellent. Client products like the Groupwise client historically blows dogs.

  8. End to Groupwise on Novell to port Evolution to Windows · · Score: 1

    This is a great alternative for those forced to use Outlook but possibly even better for those forced to use Groupwise.

  9. Running in water on PCs For A Workshop Environment? · · Score: 1

    I have seen PCs running partially submerged in water in a flooded basement server room. The water was up to about the third PCI slot from the end of the mainboard.

    I think if you make you shop computer easily accessible with your shop vacuum you should be fine.

    The keyboard is really the only delicate item, the aforementioned roll-up type should be fine.

    At my primary place of employment we have machines in fairly close proximity to arc welding, diesel exhaust and other machine shop types of activity, no problems.

    Regular Slashdot readers should already know about PCs in rendering plant environments.

  10. Windows 2000 on 64-bit Windows XP Tested And Reviewed · · Score: 1

    So basically it's as if you are using Windows 2000?

  11. At what point? on RIAA/MPAA Contractor Deploys Malicious Adware Trojans · · Score: 1

    At what point is it supposed to be obvious that a file you are downloading is copyrighted material. There is non-copyrighted material that is legal to share and copy. How, exactly do you *know* when you have done something that violates a copyright holder's rights?

  12. The Dutch paying for something? on Dutch Gov't Doubles Back On Open-Source Goals · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute, does this mean the Dutch are going to actually BUY software? If so this is really big news for sure.

  13. This is ridiculous on HP Sells Cheap FreeDOS PC in China · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So HP has only to ship the computer from the manufacturing facility in Taiwan to China instead of to the U.S. or other market and probably saves on Windows tax and the computer sells for more than a low end machine where costs are higher?

    What would be the opposite of 'dumping'? Is there no end to HP's efforts to destroy their entire business?

  14. Slide Copy Adapter on Professional Photographers Using Linux? · · Score: 1

    My older Nikon Coolpix has a slide copying adapter that works much better than a flatbed scanner or a cheap ($200) slide scanner but not quite as well as a good slide scanner, plus it's not OS dependent.

  15. decent compensation on What Do People in the IT Field Do for Side Jobs? · · Score: 1

    At a ski lodge? Where does that happen (decent compensation)?

  16. Nisis DV5 on JVC First With A HD-Based Consumer Camcorder · · Score: 1

    Something called an NSIS DV5 is available, I have seen them advertised in the U.K.. CompactFlash is used to store MPEG-4s.

  17. FAT is understood by all common platforms. on JVC First With A HD-Based Consumer Camcorder · · Score: 1

    FAT is understood by all common platforms. EXT3 and RieserFS are more limited.

  18. You might try it before expressing disbelief. on Creative Data Loss · · Score: 1

    I have actually recovered data from my laptop after flushing it in the lavatory a couple times.

  19. Microsoft's Tone on Novell vs. Microsoft, Again · · Score: 1

    The tone of Microsoft's tone seems to indicate they are totally grumpy over this. Normally they have a more positive take, maybe they aren't up for a good 'ol lawsuit anymore.

  20. Troll or dumbass - I can't tell. on Microsoft Pays $536M to Novell · · Score: 1

    Too close to call for me.

  21. Canopy Group on Retailers Deploy Databases Against Customers · · Score: 1

    Is 'The Limited" part of the Canopy Group by chance?

  22. Certified memory cards? on Avi Rubin and More on Electronic Voting · · Score: 1

    Who/what certifies the data (or lack of) on the memory cards before the process even begins?

  23. I have one - not recommended. on LinuxCertified LC2430 Laptop Review · · Score: 1

    A customer bought one of these for me. I would not recommend it. It is actually a Uniwill 755ia. I received it with SuSE 9.1 preinstalled and dual booting with Windows 2000. The Linux installation was botched and I had many problems with the machine until I performed a reinstallation myself. I am not much into games but Tux Racer was part of the original software installation and it would not run because hardware accelleration was not enabled. Also there would be times when the machine would run like it was a 2.8Mhz cpu and it became unusable. When I reinstalled I disable ACPI support and it has be fine since then. If you really want one of these it's cheaper to buy it from Los Alamos Computers ( http://www.laclinux.com ). They also appear to be a little more technically oriented and have an optimized kernel for download.

  24. Corel on Adobe Forming a Linux Strategy? · · Score: 1

    I would be more interested in native or wine compatible apps from Corel, again. I am having trouble with WordPerfect Suite and Draw for Linux on a recent distribution. While Corel lacks a Premier and GoLive, I believe their quiver of apps has a broader potential than Adobe's.

  25. "Excellent"? on The Man Who Could Have Been Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    I would call 'Fire in the Valley" informative and thorough but definitely not excellent. The rough grammar made it a rather difficult read for me.
