  1. Panasonic Toughbook. on Durable Laptop Suggestions for the Desert? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Panasonic Toughbook. At least that's what we send, but we're only Air Force. Though I have seen them bounce down the stairs from the flight deck to the cargo area of a C-17 a few times and work just fine. Seem to hold up to moderate grit as well.

  2. Sage on Advice for the K12 Tech Guy? · · Score: 2, Informative

    This is good advice. If you walk in and dump everything for a concept that is totally unknown and alien to them, it does not matter if it's well thought out, they will oppose it and find fault with it even if there is none. And, as a post above suggests, don't roll out some huge untested plan, run a test program and build on its success.

    Exactly, and this is why this MySQL / SCO "issue" is irrelevent.

    So, in this case, it does matter that MySQL has partnered in this manner with SCO. It says to me that MySQL might not be mowing down the rainforest, but they're willing to sell the mowers to the ones who are.

    I don't think so, no one is buying SCO products. At this point, SCO is not much of a threat to anyone. They are dying an ugly death, and will not be with us much longer. IBM, Red Hat, Novell and AutoZone are all they can handle right now, and when these people are done with them, there will be nothing left of SCO but dry bones

    No, it's like MySQL _sold_ them something.

    Well, MySQL AB is a for-profit company, they sell things to people. And, last time I looked into it, SCO wasn't gassing people or mowing down rain forrest, or something. Sure, they are obnoxious, but the truth is, so are many commercial companies we deal with every day.

    But does it even matter? The jokes on SCO, they paid to use something in a product very few companies will buy.

    More fun than dragging out this, would be guessing what non-issue Slashdot will toss up on their front page next in an attempt to stir shit and boost their dieing readership?
