  1. Re:How likely are your employees likely to slack o on Six Questions To Ask Before Telecommuting · · Score: 1

    Frankly, that sounds like a bit of poking is required when you're in the office, too.

    As long as it's clear what and when is expected I seriously don't see why and how would a good worker be distracted regardless of the location. It's just a (very) basic sense of responsibility and a due respect to your employer, co-workers and your own self.

  2. Re:Don't forget... on Debian's Testing Branch Nears Completion · · Score: -1, Troll

    Oh come on mods, don't blow the unique opportunity to make this rather annoying troll +5,Funny.

  3. Re:Think Antarctica on What Will Linux Be Capable Of, 3 Years Down the Road? · · Score: 1

    That's crap. There's no way Mojave release will happen before 2042.

  4. Re:wow FUDSTER on Official Support For PHP 4 Ends · · Score: 1

    I'm, on the other hand, fine with anything Microsoft being killed, with the exception of their optical mouse.

    RPM is much better!

  8. Re:But can I play Quake on it? on IBM Open Sources Supercomputer Code · · Score: 1

    And you're absolutely sure this would run Crysis?

  9. Re:Anti-Linux? on Microsoft and Apache - What's the Angle? · · Score: 1

    as Slashdot isn't exactly respected as a home of unbiased views or anything.

    Exactly - try saying something bad about Microsoft.

  10. Re:quick check on Laptops With Certain NVidia Chips Failing · · Score: 1

    If you're not worried at all, don't click anything.

    Shit, wrong article..

    +1, Underrated

  12. Re:it's not a huge stretch on What Gore Didn't Say About Solar Cells · · Score: 1

    Good thing is that he hadn't been involved with DNS RFC's. Daemon on my machine would now be called vagued and it'd be really tough to respond to your comment.

    I don't want to even think about the first post in this context.

  13. Re:It depends on the timing... on Nukes Not the Best Way To Stop Asteroids, Says Apollo Astronaut · · Score: 5, Funny
    Also, I'm a linguist, so my knowledge of astronomy and nukes is limited.

    Don't worry, your spelling is impeccable.

  14. Re:This only punishes the foolish on Gmail Reveals the Names of All Users · · Score: 1

    Is that 'firstname' or 'surname'?

  15. Re:Mods on crack? on Making the Switch To Windows "Workstation" 2008 · · Score: 3, Informative

    It is redundant because its parent explained already how was this accomplished.

    Can you be more precise, please?

  17. Re:Turned it down on Workplace BlackBerry Use May Spur Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    The only mentality you need to handle UNIX is a common sense. Not so sure about the Windows but little I did with it implied different kind of mentality.

  18. Now, that sounds familiar! on IE 8 To Include New Security Tools · · Score: 1

    Will this turn out to be the same BS from Microsoft, as it was with all the previous IE releases? History tells us - yes. I mean, what real incentive do they have? All they care about is that IE integrates tightly with their other technologies, so already locked-in corporate users are happy.

    The side-effect of less or no security introduced by having IE preinstalled on about all of the new consumer PC shipments is not their concern. Nobody pays for it, anyway.

  19. Re:Worst. Trojan. Ever. on Two Trojans For Mac OS X · · Score: 1

    Are you trying to prove the concept, or something?

  20. Re:January 2010 on No XP Reprieve; Windows 7 Release Set · · Score: 1

    They are probably hoping to have Vista fixed by then, so OEM's can roll Windows 7 --> Vista downgrades until couple of years before Windows 8 release.

    There's a great chance that one of these days we see a chair filled with a fat ass and bold head flying out the window in Redmond. Everything has limits, so does patience of the Microsoft board and shareholders.
