    Ah, you're right, I'm wrong. They kept the headphone jack.

    It still doesn't have the optical out according to Apple's specs, or the magsafe 2 charging port.

  5. Still limited to 16GB of RAM.... on No New MacBook Airs as Apple Instead Makes Lower-End, $1,500 MacBook Pro (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    ... no magsafe, no headphone jack, no optical out.

    Not excited.

  7. Do you have $5 Mil in sales?? on U.S. Ecommerce To Be Broadly Taxed? · · Score: 1

    From the article: "The legislation would apply only to businesses with more than $5 million in "gross remote taxable sales" each year."

    That's USB 1.1.... Mucho slow.

  9. Carry a frickin' notebook... on Are Often-Changed Long Passwords Really Secure? · · Score: 1

    ... a small, spiral bound notebook, and write 'em down. At least that's what I did...

    The paper's also good for keeping you warm when you get sick of working there & quit. So's the navy blue sweatshirt I got 2 days after I left.

    Yes it sucks, suck it up and write them down. Lock it in your drawer. Bring your key home with you, and your secure. (At least that was the company policy when I was there. God, I hated those workstation security audits.... if it wasn't labeled 'Non-Confidential', you failed.)

  10. Re:Why do this? on New Atomic Clock 1000 Times More Accurate · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't call it unreliable. Its still on, just the precision is not as good as you thought.

    Rule #1 on the water: Never rely on only one form of navigation. Just because the GPS says your 'here', open your eyes, ears, or look at your other instruments.

  11. My favorite Resume blunder... on Funniest IT Related Boasts You've Heard? · · Score: 4, Funny

    15 years Java experience... when Java's not that old. I've seen a number of cases like those on resumes, using technology for longer than it was around for.

    In the case of Java, no, they weren't working for Sun while it was being developed.

  12. Difference is... on Federal Bounty on Spammers · · Score: 1

    ... the rest of the population would probably be more than willing to chip in on those rewards! I'd give $20 to help catch spammers in a second!

    If I recall, Cisco owns Linksys....

  14. Re:Debian on Red Hat Linux 9 Reaches End-of-Life · · Score: 1

    Both actually, in the case of Fedora. ClearCase support won't help you, and key features fail on Fedora (it does Kernel Module voodoo, and the modules aren't supported with the Fedora kernels due to changes in them. )

  15. Re:Debian on Red Hat Linux 9 Reaches End-of-Life · · Score: 1

    Some applications (IBM Rational ClearCase for one) don't support Fedora, but do support RHEL 2.1 & 3.0. I'm sure there's more than just ClearCase that are in this scenerio.

  16. Re:How soon.. on Police and Lawyers Love E-ZPass · · Score: 1

    In those cases, no. But if XXX% are averaging over 20 mph over the limit, and 10% have tickets proving it, and XXX is anything over, say, 10%, that's still at least 1 out of every 100 cars getting speeding tickets, a far greater number than those being pulled over by cops, and a far larger deterent, as neither radar/laser detectors nor a sharp eye can really keep you from getting caught. (Only hoping to get in the non-automated lanes might help in that case...)

  17. Re:How soon.. on Police and Lawyers Love E-ZPass · · Score: 2, Informative

    In the past, I think NJ might have done that from the data from the tickets... ie, you take the ticket when you entered the highway, exited 80 miles away, and the time difference was 60 minute - BINGO, you were speeding.

    In cases like that, they could go after the people who take tickets just as easily as those with EZ-Pass (or Fastlane in MA etc)

  18. FP! on Brazil Moves Away From Microsoft · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    First Post!

  19. Re:I wonder..... on Home Directory In CVS · · Score: 1

    Homedir in Clearcase in a dynamic view? That wouldn't be too difficult on Linux etc. I had Apache serving out of dynamic views for quite some time at my last job. When I wanted the production web server to display a later version, I moved a label along. Much easier than actual physically copying files etc.

  20. Re:bugzilla on How Do You Manage Requests in Your Organization? · · Score: 1

    Actually, once you know how to use it, and develop for it, its not bad. Out of the box it has several models of use, and can easily be customized from there, or you can start from scratch.

    Granted, developers generally don't like much of any thing outside of coding, whether it be their source control system or the bug tracking system etc etc etc.

    The biggest drawback to Clearquest (and most Rational products) is price. But don't go slamming products when you've never actually admined them etc.

    (It also sounds like your CM group doesn't like you, and I think you mean Clearcase UCM.)
