  1. Tracking other issues as well on BudNet Tracks Your Suds · · Score: 1

    Looks like they track frogs too!
    They won't be able to track "Budweiser" in Europe either. Quote from this article,
    "It is hard to imagine the "King of Beers" will surrender without a titanic battle to an ordinance or rule that says beer labelled "Budweiser" must come from Ceske Budejovice in the Czech Republic and not Anheuser-Busch."

    B-)

  2. Re:sound on Upgrading Your Current System To Kernel 2.6 · · Score: 1

    I did until I started using SuSE! hehehehe B-)

  3. OSS Tools on Good, Affordable PC Diagnostic Software? · · Score: 1

    I recently was looking around for backup solutions. The folks over at ltsp (ltsp) recomended mondo/mindi for a backup solution. Mindi is a linux system duplicator, however they seemed to have made a bootable Mindi CD with memtest86 allong with a few other utilities that seem quite comprehensive. Check it out here. ( mindi.iso) )

  4. Metroworks on PalmSource Drops Mac Synchronization in Cobalt · · Score: 1

    I thought Metroworks Codewarrior was the defacto compliler for the PalmOS as well as Mac. Can't believe that they would have strayed. The iSync taking over (mentioned above) sounds like the most logical explination.....

  5. Mozilla part of nt4 install on 4 Years Later, The Mozilla Tide Has Turned · · Score: 3, Informative

    I find it humorous that I have to download mozilla to a new NT4 install in order to browse M$'s web-page to get the new IE for NT4, so that I can get the needed service packs and such. Great opportunity to show client the power of Mozilla, usefullness of OSS, and the lack of backward compatability of M$ software.

  6. SuSE Rules Anyway on Mandrake Appealing to Community, Again · · Score: 1

    I've been a devoted user of SuSE after the pain of configuring multi-headed XServer since 4.0. SuSE is the only Distro that I know of that was able to configure itself (Sax2) for mutli-monitor out of the box without doing anyting. FYI

  7. comparing the 100ft drop on Robocoaster · · Score: 1

    I think this would be fun and could compare to a 100 ft drop. If you think about it, how much time would something be in the air "free fall" if being "tossed" up and then falling back down? I mean you could get allot of "hang time" on that ride from a "toss". You would have to go allot higher up to have the same amount of "hang time" if you only were dropped from the top like a regular roller coaster. I do share the same fear of the possibility to get hurt should the OS run as expected. Should probably put some kind of "roll bar" on the seats so if the worst should happen you wouldn't be the part making contact with anything else like the floor or the arm itself. Looks fun!

  8. HIPAAA on Striving for HIPAA Compiance? · · Score: 1

    We recently were asked to develop an infrastructure to facilitate the sharing of patient demographics among a large group of practitioners. To be HIPAAA compliant we designed an intelligent, web based infrastructure that would act like a data warehouse except the data wasn't actually centrally stored. What we did was to use HL7 to communicate with each practices separate system regardless of what practice management software they had and what version. We were able to learn what each system did and what it expected and required both the practice that was making the information available as well as the practice that was requesting it to sign off on the transaction. This itself didn't necessarily make us HIPAAA compliant, however, putting the responsibility on the users of the infrastructure to be HIPAAA compliant. Unfortunately, they have not moved forward to implement this design because we didn't have previous medical or HIPAAA experience. Makes you wonder what they want. I mean do they want computer/networking people to design the infrastructure or their doctors? To sum up an answer for you, giving your staff tools that require or force the user to follow procedure is one of the best ways in my opinion to ensure compliance. -- Sounds like a programmer! hehehe B-)
