  1. Re:Verizon does it. on Constructing a Corporate Open Source Policy? · · Score: 1

    Verizon is a $68 billion company. That says a lot. In my estimate, I personally cal vouch for 700 employees+contractors for Verizon, doing their development on Open source.
    Hope that is big enough.

  2. Verizon does it. on Constructing a Corporate Open Source Policy? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Verizon's IT division had been running the entire development team on Linux, Openoffice for years now. There was an article somtimes back, on newsweek about a Verizon Director George Huges's initiatives.

  3. Re:man! this _sure_ is slashdot... on What to Get My Geek for Valentine's Day? · · Score: 1

    Why not, it's certainly an insight into ME! Read the fine print - "I need a girlfriend!!!!"

  4. Lucky bastard... on What to Get My Geek for Valentine's Day? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's not enough that he has a girlfriend, she has the brains to get him a geek toy too. Like i said - lucky bastard

  5. Re:Hindu in space. on Asia's Space Race: China vs. India · · Score: 1

    You are right, I apologise. But honestly, take it easy brother. For most Indian's ,refrerring to Hindu's is as innocent as references in the Bible to "man", we all know it is as applicable to women as it is to men.
    Same goes to sikhs, Christians and other assorted relgious people.
    Cmon, youve got to admit that a "Hindu is space" makes for a better comedy than a "muslim in space".
    Of course .. "Sardar in space" beats em all.
    Peace!!

  6. Apple rules (again) on (When) Will Linux Pass Apple On The Desktop? · · Score: 1

    I watched Steve Jobs address at WWDC today, and I have to say, I was almost drooling when I saw the Xcode's "flowers/petal" demo. With X integrated into Panther and safari and Xcode (for free!) and add VPN into the sweet deal, who gives a damn about Linux? I have Linux/Windows as well as OSX, and since I got my baby (an iBook) about 6 months back, I am a lifelong convert. I for one wont mind paying 120 bucks for Panther. Linux is for people who want to spend time on the computer. OSX is for people who want to spend time on their mac's.

  7. Hindu in space. on Asia's Space Race: China vs. India · · Score: 1

    Years ago, I saw a promo for the sequel of "History of the world", which had a bit called "Jews in space" (was it ever released??). Now we can have "Hindu's in space".

  8. Sure! on Do You Write Backdoors? · · Score: 1

    Sure, I have put in backdoors to my application. We need thm man. otherwise production supp does not let u have fun.

  9. Good reading - alas too late. on The Monk and the Riddle · · Score: 1

    I liked the book. Nice, but alas too late. Who cares about this stuff now? I wish people had read it 10 months earlier and learnt that selling coffins on the net can not possible be a very good idea.
