    I've been using awesome for years without regret, I am only ashamed it took me so long to discover it.

    I usd to hate all the resizing/moving work I had to do with KDE, although I really liked KDE, after a couple of days using awesome I never came back

    OMG I really havent been appreciatting my little girls, they are great even at 5 and 6 yo.

    I can work perfectly fine with them at home, and honestly prefer to have them bugging me than one of the 20 coworkers at the "office" they call our little cellars these days

    You guys must be doing something awful wrong

    I have been working from home for a year now, in a quite small apartment, with 2 little girls, and very few times I have had to aks them to let me work.

    Maybe sysadmin job is not so demanding, or my girls are way too good (which they are, i know) but my experience has been great with no doors closed except to have meetings every once in a while. Even when I get into closed door for a meeting, as soon as it finishes I get out of the room to be on my usual spot on the living room.

    I dont want to be pesimistic about this, but that sounds exactly like the next miracle product ad on TV.

    My guess would be that type two is slowered down a lot by a good regimen (we have know this for long time anyway), but I found it hard to believe that we have a cure and only a handful of doctos in the world know about it, my biased opinion about biology and medecine research does not help a lot, I gotta say :)

    I have seen battle royale 1 and read 2.7 of the hunger games books, there are a lot of similarities, but I think hunger games is much more reallistic, in the sense of depicting a society the has actually happened before, and could happen again.

    Although I would guess that there are or have been recently a few lunatic groups doing stuff like battle royale too, so that would be pretty realistic too, but kind of different

  10. I dont think that is correct, I hevent seen any diabetic to get normal by loosing weight, and most of them end up their lives much thinner than they were when diagnosed, even if they were already slim

  11. Re:This just in! on Companies More Likely To Outsource Than Train IT Employees · · Score: 1

    Because of taxes tricks allowed by government, and because it allows bosses to get some more money from contract arrangements.

    A lot of the time contractors are actually paid more than FTE even taking into account bonuses.

    Sir, if 50% of the voters do not vote, you have a winer that is not supported by the majority, that should account for something, and you know our systems are wrong because currently it does not matter.

  14. Re:This just in! on Companies More Likely To Outsource Than Train IT Employees · · Score: 1

    We dont need more regulation, but making easier to contract people instead of havin full time employees is not that smart, most companies spend much more on contractors than what they could spend having the real thing.

    I "see" a lot of linux boxes on daily basis (yeah, that was right) and NONE of them has AV, some of the do have some kind of "enterprise protection", but unless you are talking about an email server, on linux you usually do not have any kind of AV running, and yet I (on daily basis again) use chrome and firefox a lot for fun and profit, so, an exploit for them is important for me, AV or not involved.

  18. Re:Maybe on LED's Efficiency Exceeds 100% · · Score: 1

    So modpoints are delivered by human decision? Like in labeling accounts manually or something.

    I have been /. reader for over a decade, and have been on positive karma only for 3-4 years, but started getting mod point almost non stop for the last 3 months, before that I usually got mod point every once every year or less.

    That being said, my english is not really good, and my comments are usually short, so the human factor on the decision makes some sense (hope not to lose my current status for commenting this :P)

    Actually good maners are included in laws too, you are evaluated by a company before you get hired, they have the right to profile you maners and rule you out just because of your maners, and there is nothing you can do legally to force them to hire you.

    And that is just an example, many more can be found, even some with cars included on the topic
