  7. Definetly True on Driven to Distraction by Technology · · Score: 2, Insightful

    We had this problem in our office, where telephone calls were routed to groups of people. Everybody got distracted and decided upon looking at the caller ID wether to pick up the phone.

    Favourite office sport became being the last one to pick up, before the answering machine answered.

    We descarded the old system and routed all calls directly, forwarding the call quickly (after two rings) to one other phone, if it wasn't picked up. If that one also wasn't picked up within two rings, the call got forwarded to the boss.

    We blocked IM at the same time. The changes are appreciated by the employees, who say it's way less stressful.

  11. Oh no! on Pfizer and Microsoft go after Viagra Spammers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Now I have to settle for my increase in girth, length and volume, since they will also go for v1agra and v!agra

    Anyhow - if the big dogs are moving now - after the can-spam-act, it's interesting what kind of stable equilibruum the next generation spam will be. It won't go away - It'll just reach the next stage.

    On the bottom of the first page are the stock qoutes von Pfizer and Microsoft. There is a horizontal movement of Pfizer and a slight downward movement of Microsoft. What does that suggest about the markets expectation of future distribution of vi4gra?

  12. Not a hack on Hacking OpenOffice · · Score: 4, Informative

    That's a lot you can do with xsltproc and unzip - but xsltproc is way to neat to call it a hack.
    Most day-to-day manipulations of Open-Office-Documents can easiely be done with perl:

  14. Server Sales are rising everywhere on Microsoft Posts Record Earnings · · Score: 5, Informative

    Server Sales 18% up - thats quite a share :-). Especially if you regard how hardware sales of servers developed in the end of last year:

    Hewlett-Packard: +21%
    Dell: +28%
    IBM: +36%
    (Gartner quote)
    http://www.itfacts.biz/index.php?id=P243
    There have to be quite a couple of linux- and other boxes, if Microsoft ist just +18%.
    Anybody got more precise infos on actual sales of iron?
    btw: Profits are also significantly up because of the cut in personell.

  20. What does mobilizing foreign police actually mean? on Following up on Torrent Shutdowns · · Score: 5, Informative

    > There's a lot of scary things here, but to me what is most scary is
    > that American copyright owners can mobilize foreign police to do their bidding.
    This would be scary, if you think that taking sites down was not just and legitimate. I don't know the facts about finish rights, but under german right suprnova could have been shut down.
    It's not always the US pushing and picking on people and maybe it is not in this case. At least I believe, that the finnish police made it's own independent decision.
    With Indymedia It actually seemed to be some tougher mobilizing:
