  1. Re:[tt]:Encarta on MSN Search Has Arrived · · Score: 1

    this link was a non-biased result on microsoft sucks .surprising but there u go.

    on a saddier note, ever since i was $rbtl by the slashdot crowd, i dont have any mod points to point out that anyone that say wikipedia is unbiased is a troll.
    /me bows

    Thank you ladies and gentlemen, i had enjoyed my positive karma

  2. international view on Which Linux for Professional Admins? · · Score: 1
    i just read the entire article (amazing!) and thought it was an eye-opener as to the issues
    run oracle on suse/redhat
    openldap/ssl via suse
    ease of use desktops via mandrake
    and so the conclusion was suse servers for authentication while productions servers were redhat and workstations were mandrake which makes it a heterogenous network. which also means the admin must know these 3 distros or get 3 admins, each knows one of the distros.

    then we came to the consultants and ppl started talking about going to hp,debian or finding some guy who runs a linux consulting company.. but the problem with the 3 suggestions are:
    a) hp doesnt seem to support linux outside the us
    b) a guy who runs a linux consulting company might either die tomorrow or worse decide to emigrate to the US, get stopped at immigration, interviewed for 8 hours by 4 different security experts, then discover his home country no longer exists, and have his green card rejected.
    err.. long story short, managers want a distro with support from a big internation company playing in the local arena. error 404

    what is going on with the world?

    a lot of ppl (as previously mentioned on slashdot) are disgruntled with the wikipedia. i would go so far as to claim its useless. hell even one of the cofounders of the wikipedia doesnt like it any more.

    i dont use it coz i know the facts there are either skewed or biased towards those who can win "revert wars".

    its just a propaganda machine, not a fact machine

  9. One day in Egypt.. on Indian Consortium To Offer 2 Mbps At $2.30/month · · Score: 3, Interesting

    256k dsl was set at 150LE or 12.5usd at the current black market rate of 6le/usd.
    this does not include the modem @ 430le (modem + 4 port switch + splitter)
    but it does include monthly adsl suscription cost to the telco

    currently, the ministry of interior has a deal for its officers for 80le/month and the army has one too for 75le/month.

  11. Re:Once again, Microsoft blames the users. on Microsoft May Charge for Security Tools · · Score: 1

    interesting how nobody learns from history. i remember (dont know the link.. not bothered to google for it) how a previous ceo of volkswagen said that all those accidents in vw automatics were from user errors (they hit the accelerator instead of the brakes) and not a defect in the car as all those users were saying. the effect was that vw sales went down and that ceo lost his job. while in the case of vw it was true, in the case of microsoft. try telling a customer who has a million trojans, virus, spyware, zombies, proxies, malware, etc. etc. etc. programs loaded on to his computer. "oh its your fault!" ---- user calls ms support: i got a virus ms support: ITS YOUR FAULT !! ITS YOUR FAULT !! ITS YOUR FAULT !!
