  1. Windows Troubleshooting on A Look at Windows Server Outselling Linux · · Score: 4, Interesting
    thereby making the troubleshooting process easier for in-house administrators and reducing overhead costs for the company.

    What I don't get with Windows troubleshooting is why the first thing you do is reboot. With Linux, if you have a problem, 100 reboots is not going to solve the problem. As a person who has administrated hundreds, probably thousands of Windows, Linux, BSD machines, I find Linux to be much easier to troubleshoot because there is basically no such thing as an intermittent problem.(maybe 0.01% of the time and 99.9% of the time its a hardware problem and not Linux) You either have a problem, or you don't. There is not of this crap where a machine runs fine for 30 days then all of a sudden has issues that go away when you reboot.

    Maybe others have different experiences, I don't know. I've worked a lot of different places over the last 10 years and this has held true everywhere.

    I agree, and if it wasn't for the 'faith force field' that God uses to bind us to this planet, we would all float away in space.

  4. Re:If JPGs aren't available... on JPEG Patent Challenged · · Score: 1

    PNG is way better for high traffic sites actually. Its lossless so it looks good but compressed at the same time using gzip I believe. So, you get smaller files and higher quality, plus an alpha channel which jpeg does not have.

  5. Insane technology? on Amazon Gets Patent on Consumer Reviews · · Score: 1
    The patent also covers the method of tracking who returns to rate products by asking them to click on a unique link in an e-mail.

    So..they patented an SQL insert query?

  6. Re:No Thanks! on Should Linux Have a Binary Kernel Driver Layer? · · Score: 1

    Only for those people who rely on their distro to 'auto-detect' their hardware. Us people who can type 'modprobe xxx' have no issues what so ever.

    Gates: "Hello Senator, its Bill. How are you?"

    Gates: "Senator, I'm thinking of a number, a large number. Would you like to play guess that number?"

    One week later the media reports: Blind and Deaf people are mad about open document.

    Yeah, and you'll be able to download each and everyone of those tools as shareware! You can have the privelege of paying $20 for grep! If you don't register, everytime you use wgrep, it pops up a window that says "Please Register WinGrep!". Thats awesome!

  15. some interesting uses on Cannabinoids Induce Brain Cell Growth? · · Score: 1
    There are some interesting potential implications in regards to high doses of cannabinoids found in substances like marijuana.

    For exmaple, one potential use is getting stoned out of your mind.

  20. South Park Defense on Mystery Australian Big Cat Shot · · Score: 4, Funny

    The best part of the article is this when the hunter says, "The predator charged in his direction." He's obviously been watching too much South Park. I be t the cat was running in the opposite direction and he yelled "Look out, its coming right for us", and shot it.

  21. back in the day.... on Blackout Shows Net's Fragility · · Score: 1

    Back in the day in there was no 'peering' contract. It was all techies helping techies and peering arrangements would happen with a handshake over some good sushi. You take my routes, I'll take yours. Then all the lawyers got involved, its been a nightmare ever since.

  22. Re:why feed the competition? on No Office For Linux, MS Patents Rejected · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Linux users mainly use torrent for downloading distribution CDs. How does that translate into your assertion we are a bunch of software pirates? If anything, I think Linux users should be more apt to respect other's software licences simply because we ask everyone to respect the GPL. Plus, there isn't much good commerical software for Linux. I tend to buy as much as possible simple because I want to support companies who take the time to produce good stuff.

  23. Forbes on Google Declares War on Microsoft · · Score: 0, Troll
