  1. Cue anti-GW trolls in 3...2...1... on Arctic Sea Level Falling? · · Score: 0

    I mean, seriously, have you read your own posts? Plate techtonics? Are you kidding me?

  2. Re:Food? on Working Model of MIT $100 Laptop a Hit · · Score: 2, Funny
    Man, you people just wanna feed those poor kids instead of learning them how to feed themselves.

    I love seeing poor grammar in a post about education. It's a hoot. :)

  3. Re:Same as last year. on Windows Servers Beat Linux Servers · · Score: 1

    I had a few upgrade snafus from FC4 to FC5, but nothing I couldn't fiux after a quick Google. I even posted my findings on my website for others to benefit from.

    The Man is sticking it to itself. And by itself, I mean our men and women in uniform. As if slashing benenfits, pensions, and the "stop-loss" program weren't bad enough.

  10. I don't have this problem. on Fixes for WinXP Ignoring Novell Disk Mapping? · · Score: -1, Troll

    When I plug in my USB key, it gets automounted under /media/usb, and my /home and /mnt/remote NFS shares are still accessible, as well as the two SMB shares I use.

  11. Speaking as a Scarepoint user on Lotus vs. SharePoint · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've not user the newest Lotus Notes, but I use Scarepoint daily. I hate it. God forbid anyone use something other than IE. And if you want to view a document quickly, forget it. My department mandated that all our documentation get migrated from a fairly vanilla but searchable PHP site I built into Scarepoint. Since Scarepoint doesn't support html with linked images, I had to convert everything into Word docs. Now viewing frequently used information takes upwards of a minute where it used to be nearly instantaneous. Thanks a friggin lot.

  12. Re:Transfer from Berkeley to Postgres? on Oracle Unveils New Open Source BerkeleyDB Release · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Shoot, that'd be great, or even for SQLite. My biggest problem with OpenLDAP is the BDB backend, which can be slow and get wedged. I've integrated a de-wedging script into my startup so that in the event of power failure the machine will still boot normally, but I think SQLite would fit nicely. I know OpenLDAP supports multiple backends, but I've not had much success in finding out how to migrate to another backend from BDB.

  13. Re:Is Stallman relevant anymore? on The Curious Incident of Sun in the Night-Time · · Score: 1
    Now, does that mean that Java falls under Stallman's banner of FLOSS? Not quite, but the question isn't how free Java is, but how important is Stallman's opinion to the movement and how important is he to the movement anymore?

    Actually, I'd day it *does* matter how free Java is, especially if it's less free that the media led us to believe. And I'd have to say that RMS is still fairly important to the movement. I mean, this *did* make NewsForge.

    What's cheaper about CentOS than Fedora? They're both free as in speech and as in beer.

    Now I have "Octopus's Garden" running through my head. How strange.

  16. First three? on The First Three Books Every Linux User Should Read · · Score: 2, Funny

    Mine were Cars and Trucks and Things that Go, The Tawny Scrwany Lion, and The Sesame Street Bedtime Storybook. Learning the Bash Shell seems a bit high-level for young children. . .

  23. Re:MyPostgres? on How To Set Up A Load-Balanced MySQL Cluster · · Score: 1

    Not been written yet AFAIK. Too many programming languages, table type issues, API quirks. I've made most of my PHP code work on both MySQL and PostgeSQL, as well as SQLite, but it was a bit of work to assemble the abstraction functions.

    In theory, an app to glob a mysql server and recreate it in a postgresql server (or vice-versa) could be written, and I may even try, but revising source code? Maybe if everything you use uses one language, the same API version, and you're willing to let the app handle a recompile and reinstall as well. That part should scare any reasonable admin.
