  1. This sucks! on Identity Theft of Many SAIC Employees · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As a SAIC employee this just blows. I had to put a ID theft warning on my credit. This story took a long to come out! This took place weeks ago and we where warned about this over 2 weeks ago! hehe

  2. Re:I sell Linux - and Love it! on Why Free Software is a Hard Sell · · Score: 1

    Sounds like my day now that we all use Windows 2000.

    Other than that my 120 users have 'special' apps that need alot of hand holding. But thats not Win2Ks fault. Office 2000 is the primary suit we use and I never have calls on that.

  3. Re:Why it's hard to sell and why it may not matter on Why Free Software is a Hard Sell · · Score: 1

    Good point! Well made!

    I just get tired of "Linux Elitists" stating that Linux (usualy don't mention other OSes) as beeing so much better than anything else.

  4. Re:No Office Apps For Linux??? on Why Free Software is a Hard Sell · · Score: 1

    Yeah...

    User = Monkey

    That is the truth. over %80 of the users out there wouldn't know thier floppy drive from thier mouse. I think that was part of the point of the article.

    Honestly. Most people just don't have the time to mess around with Linux. I know I sure don't. I grip about Linux cause I want it to improve! I would love to see it taken out of the hands of the "Linux Elitists" and made so that in 2 hours I have the tech end of it figured all out (like Windows 9x/NT stuff)

  5. Linux sucks for Client OS on Why Free Software is a Hard Sell · · Score: 1

    It does. Its difficult to install. Has lame support. Nobody uses it (Compared to Windows).

    It seems great for server stuff... But...

    But I got to say, once you put up a GUI, you lose all the stability that all the "Linux Elitists" claim it has.

    Oh and if my users had to use Linux, I would never have time to play Half-Life at my tech support job cause I would be answering questions for them.
