    My company offered to pay me through an MCP better than nothing I suppose...it sis come in useful, I had an incentive to learn some prigramming and put together a little quiz applet to help me pass.

  3. Quality quote on EU IDA Study On OSS · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This from the first pdf: "the word 'free' in free software is used as in 'free speech' and not as in 'free beer'" Wow, I never though an EU document would include the phrase free beer.

  4. 'Political' Reason on EU IDA Study On OSS · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Vey interesting set of arguments from one of the pdfs. A very interesting political argument for the use of OSS. In interviews most IT managers expressed worries over a dominant vendor rleationship with Microsoft and expressed a desire for alternatives from independent private vendors. Doesn't this have relevancy to the Microsoft lawsuits, especially when you consider this was published by the European Commission. Perhaps the technology directorate and the competition directorate can agree on this and launch an action with the European Court.

  5. David on Living Inside A Giant Wind Turbine · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It seems it would only really be workable with really big buildings. In light of recent events how many people are going to be happy working in tall buildings?

    Believe me the company I currently work for will not be going out of business anytime soon.

  7. Our support for Linux on Linux Support Services Shoot-out and Analysis · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The company I work for does a small amount of work with Linux. As such I am supposed to support it. The training a group of us got was basically - here is Linux, play with it - oh and if a customer has any problems get them to reinstall it. Thye probably know what thye are doing anyway so they won't call you.
