  1. Re:Lemme guess... on Constructing Accessible Web Sites · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I know it won't happen, but I hope that all web developers stop using Flash. It is the worst idea ever thought of (next to Netobjects Fusion) for the mere fact that you can't go back or forward in the webbrowser.

    Truthfully, I am surprised that Macromedia hasn't had a lawsuit filed directly against them for Flash files not being parsable by accessability readers. But then again, its all the web developers fault! :-)

  2. I've done this too on Distributions/Configurations For Specific Uses? · · Score: 1

    I did this before with a Redhat Linux machine, and then diskless SGI Indy workstations. They made fairly nice remote X terminals. It worked out much better than buying some of the off-the-shelf terminals.

    1) Qworst requires PPPoE which it does if you directly order DSL from them and not an ISP.

    Do you honestly feel a need to change "Qwest" to "Qworst"? That change does't even make sense.

    Sorry, I thought my Mom made her way onto /. somehow.

    They didn't come out with Linux 8.1, Linux 8.0, and Linux 8.0. They came out with versions of their distributions with those versions. They are all based on the GNU/Linux kernel, most likely in the 2.4.xx line.

  6. SuSE on Review of SuSE 8.1 Professional · · Score: 1, Interesting

    When I used SuSE, I thought that it was a great workstation, but I still prefer Redhat for a server OS. Too bad all of the different distributions (Redhat, Suse, Debian, etc) can't work together and make one useful and simple OS.

  7. Re:The tech industry will mature? on IT Trends In and Out of Downturn · · Score: 1

    It takes more than half decent open source apps to make companies migrate to GNU/Linux. What about all the money the company spent sending an employee to get their MSCE (or equivalent certification)? And for a lot of server administrators, ease of maintaining a server will probably come before security and reliability.

  8. The tech industry will mature? on IT Trends In and Out of Downturn · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "I don't think the computer industry will truly mature until 2015, 2020," he said. I don't understand where this comment fit into that article. BUT - I do not believe this at all. The technology industry changes each and every day, I don't believe that it will "mature" at any time, if at all.

    8th post to be exact.

  10. Again? on New Frozen World Found Beyond Pluto · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Haven't they discovered and disputed this "planet" for years? I believe I have seen this on space.com before in the past.
