  1. nice, but... on Expose Metacity With Expocity · · Score: 1

    Good idea,

    but wouldn't it be better to follow the Unix way of thinking and have an independant application or something that can be applied to other Window Managers?

    - made easier by remembering what the window looks like when you first open it

  2. not fond of homw work any more on Companies Move Away From Cubicle Culture · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I originally thought working from a home was a good idea, until I actually tried it. I has disadvantages.

    There's something about actually phsically going somewhere in order to work that makes you feel ready for work. The only problem is if you have to travel too far to get there of course.

    Because of this some home workers have a dedicated study to work in.

    While this is better than a cubical the employee is paying for it. Another way to reduce pay in effect?

  3. someone on Rules for Teenage Internet Access? · · Score: 1

  4. ask slashdot: why does US have this law? on Best Buy Uses DMCA To Quash Black Friday Prices · · Score: 1

    why does the US have this law?

  5. I just feel we can do better than this? on Building a Budget Storage Server · · Score: 1

    This is kinda all common sense, doesn't seem to be anything here that I can't do, or any lateral thinking.

    Shame there isn't a way to cut the computer out at all and just have dedicated hardware, no software. But then of course this turns out to be more expensive.

    I just feel we can do better :)

  7. what about the part they fight over? on Disposable Cell Phones Arrive · · Score: 1

    wasn't there a war in africa over an essentail part required to build a mobile phone??

  8. Rescue a CD after using a stong label under linux? on CD-R Lifespan - Is It The Label? · · Score: 1

    If a CD is broken and you try to mount it the whole system can hang.

    This happened to me after I used a very sticky label that took off a cm of film off from the edge. Most of the CD is fine but as soon as it gets near the edge everything hangs.

    I found a windows program to do it - you can order by sector and keep trying to copy until it hangs - but at least a reboot isn't needed; can kill program and start again.

    What I need is a program that spawns a few other processes, reads (using dd) the removable media until one of the program hangs, it remember that sector and avoids, much like fsck would.
