  1. Conflict management on Preventing/Resolving Interoffice Conflict? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Surely there are enough conflict management books out there?

    Basicly the things I remembered from them
    1 Don't make the problem personal. Don't say you're an asshole, but something like "that can be done better".
    If the problem is personal, be direct about it.
    2 There are 5 ways to go about a conflict
    a) Fight: beware don't fight with someone stronger then you and think of the aftermath
    b) Run: beware that you don't become a pushover, but for some occasions it's good not to escalate and come back later
    c) Compromise: good for the moment but you both loose
    d) Win-win: this is the one you normally should go for
    e) Both loose: don't go for this one

    For example see http://ianrpubs.unl.edu/family/heg181.htm

    Wasn't it also that it was a shell bug in win2k/xp that actually only was an OS bug, that MS didn't fixed so they eventually did it?

    Smartest thing they every did.

  5. Re:Sniffer Pro on Missing Open Source Security Tools? · · Score: 1

    As said before etherape has the functionality the poster requested. Sniffer pro is the mandatory tool we have to use here and I'm very impressed with it's easy to use and feature richness. The graph which he is talking about is an indispensible tool to filter out large amounts of uninteresting traffic. When you are sniffing you don't always know where to look and this tool can be very helpfull in this area.

  6. Balance on Major ISPs Publish Anti-Spam Best Practices · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I hope they find the right balance between just providing the internet and locking it down so it can't harm the average consumer.

  7. Why wouldn't this work on Rovers May Survive Martian Winter · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Why wouldn't this work in the first place, a couple of solar cells and you're good to go?

    I'm probably missing something.

  8. YIL on Fiber To The Dorm Room · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one missing yahoo internet live mag?

    Anyone have a good alternative, no wired is different..

  9. Re:First off on Open Source Alternative to Dreamweaver's .LBI? · · Score: 1

    I hated dreamweaver when I first looked at it version 3 or 4 but recently I looked again at mx2004 and I was immediatley hooked. I agree that older versions introduced much bloat but I don't think that still holds.

    The way it does CSS is very convenient. I like it's cross-browser checking. And what I really like is that one page 1 can
    -edit html
    -edit design
    -edit tag where all the options are easily available
    -check documentation
    -more
    Without it being cluttered!

    I stopped using Homesite and occasionally I use vim when ssh'ing to the machine but I really think it's one of the best products out there to do this job.

  10. Vib Ribbon on Parappa Creator Debuts New Title, To Be Honored At GDC · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Vib Ribbon was one of the hardest games I have played. Vib constantly walks then it can reach an obstacle loop, pit, barb wire, block. For each obstacle you have to press the associated button, so the entire game is controlled with only 4 buttons no directional stuff...

    It becomes hard when you get an obstacle that is a combination , for example a block and a pit (looks like the letter M) then you have to press both buttons at the same time. So then it becomes a game of quick thinking... But one of the most innovative games i have seen in years...

  11. KISS again on Single-handed, Offline, Portable Data Input? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about a mobile phone, especially 1 with T9 text input?

  13. Re:Another website bust on Aussie Students Face Jail Over Music Sharing Site · · Score: 1

    Because it's an open and shut case?
    A website is always registered by name or ip so it's very easy to identify the criminal who is illegally distributing files.

    Ofcourse the company are going to do something about it.

  14. Re:This is a great thing on Swedish ISP Blocks Computers That Send Spam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yes but it has implications, if they take action against spam, they must take action against kiddie porn, warez etc. That's still fine, however I can imagine that there are gray area's where ISP's going to screw up.

    Well, there is already zoidberg

  16. Re:Open Source on More E-Voting Software Leaks Surface · · Score: 1

    OSS is a great way for everybody to find bugs, however it is still possible that not all bugs are found (in time). So open or closed isn't the issue, it's just proper programming methodology and get your priorities straight, like security/privacy in this case.

  17. Re:I don't think this is a bad thing on MPAA School Propaganda Program Examined · · Score: 1

    In the netherlands it is perfectly legal to download copyrighted music/images/books/movies but not applications/databases.

    But morally it's wrong ofcourse. And downloading that material is (the way I see it) theft.

    I don't see any harm for the RIAA/MPAA telling people that what they are doing is wrong. But as we all know, they do a whole lot more...

  18. Re:ghastly new firebird website on Three New Releases (And Other News) From Mozilla · · Score: 1

    I think it is brilliant, as it is aimed at new users and not geeks/coders. I can imagine if I was to going to convince an IE user, then that the site is very accesible, and provides the information in an understanding way.

  19. Re:So, where's the study? on 3G Waves Causes Headaches, Sharpens Memory · · Score: 1

    No, I don't but the study has been done by TNO which has a very good reputation for being objective and thorough.

  20. Why is going to work? on XGameStation Console Tries DIY Angle · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Hmm, I like to code and I like to play games and I like to tinker with hardware.

    However If I just want to play a game, I don't want to build the hardware first and then program the game.

    I think the treshold is just a bit too high..

    Why did you provide a link, didn't you got the popup window?

  22. Microsoft solved this allready on Sweden Crunches Cookies · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you use IE6 then it only accepts cookies when you have a privacy statement.(default setting) It means that when you want to read/set a cookie you have to provide the browser with a privacystatement. This is actually 3 documents consisting of 2 xml files and a html file explaining what the cookie is trying to do.

    Bloody annoying if you are coding a webapplication, I assume it broke a lot of old stuff :)

    Everybody knows it's illegal to distrube copyrighted material? If it's p2p or ftp or http or ...

    Just wouldn't think that it would be usefull for an organisation as the RIAA to send everybody C&D letters, costs a lot of money. Which they have but not that much..
