  1. Re:STUPID idea on Accounting Systems on Linux? · · Score: 1

    The man said starting your own business. Different question altogether to 'would you change an installed system to Linux'. In any case, is that what you think accountants do 'quarterlies and taxes'. What do you call your billing and payables systems. Accountants will use whatever works. IT people are the ones who get upset about OS questions.

  2. Re:My Thoughts on Accounting Systems on Linux? · · Score: 1

    100%. Any accountant worth his pay can figure out an accounting system in a few days and a week later can use it pretty well. If they are any good at all. Training is for bookeepers and they are the ones who have difficulty changing. A GUI is a GUI and as the man said, get rid of them cause they get in the way. I think they were invented by someone whose mouth moves when they read.

  3. Re:Compliance on Accounting Systems on Linux? · · Score: 1

    That's Financial Statements rather than Accounting. Accounting (in the double entry sense) changes less. Every year you still send the same bills, pay the same cheques and need to record them, usually the same way. Financial Statement disclosures change more often but a lot of time its just? report writing. On a day-to-day operational basis there are fewer necessary changes to underlying functionality. I realize these statements are broad and there will be lots of exceptions.

  4. Re:Uh, the answer is simple... on Symantec Will Not Detect Magic Lantern · · Score: 1

    I think one of the main points of this arguement that you are missing is that all of these companies have said that they won't block Magic Lantern, but they haven't said that they're going to make a second English language version of their software that WILL detect it for countries like Canada, the UK, and Australia. They also haven't made any comments about whether or not versions of their software in other languages will have separate patches and virus detection lists that will detect Magic Lantern But the FBI doesn't tap non us machines does it.so it's unlikely that there would be a different ver for non us users. Youre either in the us and their policy is not to let you find the trojan, or you're outside the US in which case the trojan isn't used. And in most developed countries similar wiretapping rules would likely be complied with by the AV companies anyway.

    No, not before I read it in the post at the top of this thread but Yes, before you just told us.

    like how merkins say nukular but usually spell it nuclear like the rest of the world.

  7. Re:Slashdot = birthday announcement site on Five Years of KDE · · Score: 1

    One what? I remember using StarOffice years ago on OS/2. It was a 60MB download from a german site when i was on a 24k modem. and no resume feature in them days. took for bloody ever. And i didn't like the integrated desktop then either.

  8. Re:Let me get this straight... on Five Years of KDE · · Score: 1

    Are you just upset you wasted so much time reading through the threads or are you really upset when people take time out of their busy day to stop and reflect on the simple things in life like Cowboy Bebop, jammies and Shreadies (apostrophes are not used to denote plural.. ever..OK) and the tools with which they work. Point me at a page that tells me how to behave please cause it's not real obvious that what you are doing in thought policing /. is helping anyone.

  9. Re:The only problem is this: Culture on A New Kind of War · · Score: 1

    That pretty well describes East LA so why don't you practice there first then when you have perfected the technique try it in Afganistan.
