Eh. Do everyone a favor and HIRE an interior designer. They don't spend 4+ years in university for nothing. There are plenty of design studios out there that specialize in workplaces. Look one up, they will open your eyes too all sorts of things that you would never of thought of.
Many times they will also point out sources for fixtures and whatnot that are much more economical than the places geeks would go. And no graybar is not the place you buy your overhead lights. Oh and they are all current with the workplace safety / egonomic regulations as wekk.
I live in Tallinn, I am marring an Estonian girl so I could very well say he's right about the women but this is slashdot and most of the readers have never seen a real life human female before that they could really touch.
Oh on a side note, this article is quite funny really and I do love how all of these people are talking like they know what the hell they are talking about.
I'm going to patten the act of sex. I will be rich beyond all dreams. I will only collect on the act of sex at the birth of a child, but I will charge retroactivlly for all "pratice acts"
For webdev Quanta is not a bad pick at all.

Quanta is starting to get there for webdev stuff, version 2.2 is out now, and if you pay for it, it is cross platform, free for *nix. Take a look I don't think it's too hard to extend.
I mean really. This does make a strange kind of sense. Why worry about high pressure tanks, and proper discharge ratios. Just grab a water ballon full of this stuff and toss it at it!
Umm. lets see. I load an third party control, then I learn a new language that by the looks of the documentation is weak sauce then write this stuff and it is going to improve my life how?
I don't get it. I will stick to.net it makes sense.
Give me a break. I am a geek, and I was homecoming king. Yes I have great social skills, yes I was popular, and YES THE QUEEN WAS MY GIRLFRIEND. But why spout off with crap like this? 99% of my fellow slashdotters would rather figure out if the grass on the football field is growing with all those big lights on, than particapate in what could only be seen as some ritual crap that no one knows how it got started in the first place. All it does is hurt ppl in the long run so why bother? Think about Rome before it fell... now look at us.
The phone companies where forced to allow ISP's into their xDSL networks. AOL owns the world when it comes to media, so why would the gov't not force them to abide by the same rules that it has pressed down on the baby bells? Hell AOL can now buy all of the baby bells and not worry about the capitol offset.
I do like the fact that AOL is starting to be proactive in it's relationships with outside companies, this shows that they are ready to become the mega corp. that they aspire to be.
Now can we get AOL to give the tech savvy a version of their software that we can customize the way we use their service? That would be a cold day in hell.
IBM is filling a gap in the industry. Let's face it 99% of small businesses don't have tech savvy people working for them like the readership of/.
It does for $99 a month what it would cost a small business $5000 to hire one of us to set this up and manage the Linux install. Just think of it this way. More and more small companies that put one of these on their winblows network we get more %'s in the overall bucket of apache on the web on FreeBSD. So when allot of small business install these, big business will notice that apache and FreeBSD are gaining in the metrics, then FreeBSD MIGHT start to be looked at by these large companies as a relative option to other OS's based in Redmond.
See I thought that too, but that would be good business and Intel very rarely invests into compainies that will do something good for the masses, e.g. they bought ICat. I am just wondering what the hidden agenda is, something like this is just to good to be true, Intel the company that has more R&D dollars than the US goverment wants to help something along that would hurt there bedmates in redmond. humm...
My big question about this deal is why does intel care? I look over the press release on intel's site, the article that was/.ed and the interview on news.com, no where is there mention about the motivation of Intel. Will Intel finaly take the gloves of with M$ and show them that the world does not revolve around Redmond? God I hope so....
I used to be a dev lead on the a MSN team. Yes I worked for the evil empire and since I have run very fast from anything looking like M$ jobs. But hey it looks real good on my resume. When I was there, signs hung in the all above machines with AOL accounts setup stating "Know Your Enemy" I did, we all did. Anything that was not Microsoft. Not just AOL but the whole world. The need of M$ to be the top of what they do is amazing. These are people that where the top of the class over-achievers all there life's. I know I am one too. It is very hard to have a few hundred of these type of people working together, egos clash, but you know what? EVERY PRODUCT WAS THE BEST THAT COULD BE DONE. JD Powers thought so, naming MSN the best ISP for service etc. I believe that the guys there will get their shit straight and deliver a good product. What the world does not know is MSN is part of M$ not M$. The idea of service is top concern on the minds of the brass within MSN. Now as I think back, would I do it again? Fuck no. Will I ever again, fuck no. Will MSN be a power on the net? Maybe. Will MSN innovate fast enough to match the rest of the worlds needs. I doubt it. Will this little box work? The public wants it. What does M$ and it's divisions/subsitararies do best? Give people what they THINK they want. Will it be a success? Yes, anyone can be brainwashed, just look at all the people that use Office.
You can buy one, but is there a OSS ODBMS out there? XML really needs a good Object Database to make sense. Why worry about DTD's until the storage schema is developed. God I just got an idea, I need to go code...
This is a fear I have, I have xDSL. I have a great little Linux box that job is to protect me from the outside world. But I am a geek. I know that my DHCP ips stick for a few days and my "always on" connection to the net is for real. When I am there I see traffic on the firewall that I as a geek (more than likely just like you) know that this "traffic" is some puck 14 year old has a port scanner looking to see what he can see. Hell I have a buddy that only has one machine at home and logs into my network via Windows NetBios (I set it up to except him)across the xDSL network. Just think if the 99.9% of users knew that this was something that could happen to them with out knowing. Windows98 with peer networking installed stock leaves the "c:" drive open with file sharing turned on. (don't know about 95 but expect this true also) Open your network neighborhood sometime and see what you see. Nothing, then figure out you IP, change it by one digit and POOF! the user of the service across town with the standard HP lump of crap for a machine had all his data shared.
Solution: Education on the ISP/LineService providers part. They know this to be a problem, they just don't care. Note that not a single website of a provider of xDSL or cable tells its customers that if they are not careful their next-door neighbor could be reading their email and digging throughout their porno directories. This is like any new technology in this sense, look at the crazy of party lines with the beginnings of phone service.
If you look at Corel they company is fighting the good fight with M$. It supplies Office software. It supplies Draw! It supplies clipart. Now M$ supplies all of those things. (I think Corbis has better images for most applications)
Corel is hard pressed to have a product that it does not compete directly with M$ with. So here is Linux(TM) (hehe I put in the (TM)), it has to compete indirectly with M$ but more to the point it needs to get a share from the Redhats etc. Or they will yet again miss the boat, IE office suite. There was a time not to far in the past that they had a chance to grab a good share of the market while M$ was busy building that thing called NT.

Install Crossover. It's been stable for like a year or more.
In Estonia internet (knowledge) access is by law a human right.
I live in Tallinn, I am marring an Estonian girl so I could very well say he's right about the women but this is slashdot and most of the readers have never seen a real life human female before that they could really touch.
Oh on a side note, this article is quite funny really and I do love how all of these people are talking like they know what the hell they are talking about.
right in front of his 80k M5
That would be like digital canabalisum or something. Oh wait. sco is already eating their own asses.
*installs linux on AMD chip
*installs Jabber
*saves 10k
*buys sweet rig and waits to host doom3
Come on. These questions are by 10 to 15 year olds! The questions read just like an episode of askslashdot.

Is that soon, very soon Cray will be back into this game. It will be very interesting to see, yes indeed.

I just want everyone to remember that the book of mormon was first published as a novel... That in its self says sooo much to me
