  1. Fetch! on Is The PS2 Your Next DVD Player? · · Score: 1

    Oh great now I need to teach my cat how to fetch! Took him weeks to compile his first Kernel so I imagine I can have him ready before the PS2 hits Canada. :P

  2. Not American on Higher Pay For U.S. Federal Computer Jobs · · Score: 1

    I wonder if this will apply to workers from outside the US. If so it could attract more of Canada's best and brightest. For me however I've worked with Canadian government departments, and I don't think I could work full time in-house for any amount of money. Maybe I've gotten use to working with people that know their stuff and now I just don't have much of an incompetence tolerance. :/

  3. Re:The school is the unknowing hero of this story on The Kid Who Wouldn't Be King (UPDATED) · · Score: 1

    What society are you living in? MY society believes in "liberty and justice for all". ....
    Public school students are treated more and more like prison inmates every day.

    Wake up buddy. The interests of the rich are served, and sometimes the majority. What if your neither? Free indeed. Do you really think that anyone that will make it into office cares more about you, your daughter or the guy that sleeps on a park bench more than the guy who donated 11 million to his campaign? "Free Society" is nothing but a load of bull. We live in a prison. Is there any reason why a school should do anything other than "train" childern to accept the way things are and brain wash them into thinking they are truely free? We live in a prision not made of brick and bars, but of being given anough walk of the grouds that we are content to lie to our selves and think that we are free to live our lives HOW EVER we want. Maybe you can, maybe your one of the ones content with having others decide what is acceptable for you. Anyway I doubt there will ever be a truely free life for anyone in my life time.

    "The approach he took got his message out much more effectively. Would we be discussing this incident here on Slashdot if he had merely made a speech?"

    Actually would we be discussing if the school hadn't suspended him? Maybe the only reason this has gotten so much attention is because the school stood up for the values of the society we live in? Its sad, I know but this is the world we live in, and its sick that the education system of all things cant see past that.
    As strange as it is I know I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for the social oppression placed on b-movie nerds like me. With that I have to wonder if its so bad that the system pushes us down to the bottom of social cycles, and intern teaching us how to be individuals and live on our own terms.

    Yes I know this is totally asking for a flaming, but the more I hear about the election the more I feel lucky Im in the great white north (Canada eh).
    I will however enjoy the party on the 7th while Im in the capital for ColdFusion Dev 2000 (5th-8th). So I guess I just want someone to win. Either way it isnt going to affect me much.
    Maybe I'll sneak into a voting booth and vote for the Canaiderian.

  8. Drugs in my workplace on Techies Rampant on Drugs · · Score: 2

    When I started with my new employeer about 5 months ago it was agreed that if I was required to do any coding in Java I would be high.

    What drugs does the IT Olymics concider performance enhancing anyhow?

  9. Actual Comment on Macromedia Bites Back Patent Style Versus Adobe · · Score: 1

    I really think Macromedia and Adobe should both stop their petty fighting. Their products work great together, I use Fireworks, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Premier, etc,etc.. For awhile it actually looked like they were working together (PSD Support in Fireworks, enhanced PNG Support in Photoshop) And I think theres a flash/shockwave import addon for premier. I'd actually like to see one buy out the other.

  12. Coders block on Overcomming Programmer's Block? · · Score: 1

    I can totally relate in this respect. Almost 3 years ago I just stopped programming, and it was the second most frightening and depressing experience of my life. The one that takes the cake was almost 2 months ago 2 weeks after I had started working for a new employer it struck once again. First I thought "ok Im screwed last time this happened it lasted 2 years", however it only lasted about 2 weeks. After about a week I was starting to feel alittle depressed, very moody and not a very nice person to be around, but really for a programmer to not be able to code is like not being able to have children, or not being able to feed and clothe yourself. Lucky for me once I had gotten over the embarrassment and shame of it I approached my boss and he was very understanding. Apparently he once had a 1.5 year block and told me to go home and come back whenever I felt ready. I am curious if any psychiatrists have dealt with code challenged programmers.

  15. Re:SlashDOT is beginning to become VERY LAME on Windows 2000 Has 65,000+ Bugs · · Score: 1

    Thats the point.. there are alot of bugs in Linux too but they get fixed. More than likely about 80% of bugs have been in the windows kernel for many years, and have been discovered. Microsoft like most close source companies believe that if noone knows about it why fix it? This is why I will never run a high priority server on a platform that doesnt come with he source.

  16. Re:Now who's spewwing FUD? on Linux Blamed for DDoS Attacks · · Score: 1

    Oh so CDC isnt respectable?? PCAnywhere, BO, VNC, etc,etc can all do the same thing. They should all be in the same catagory.. if thats an admin tool, or a tojan they all do the same damn thing. Im sick of saying this.. is anyone else? hello?? I use BO2K to do everything that an Admin would use PCAnyWhere to do. Now I use it because its a much better tool than PCAW, its Free, and theres a linux client for it. CDC should become a respectable company, charge 69 bucks for BO. They'd be ritch! Fr05t

    Actually the saying is "Do not fear the penguins"... In the last 24 hours Windows 2000 has been down serveral times. So I think this means either MicroSoft is either:
    (A)Lying. In that case it shows they have the most secure OS ever, but it is of no use because it crashes more than once a week (I would consider this a useless server OS), and to boot its crashing like mad while only running a Web Server that hosts a 4 page web site! I would have a better web server running Windows 3.11
    or (B) It has ./'d which causes MS to resort to option (A) again. This just doesnt look good for them unless they invent some better fibs ;)
