  1. Just Plain Horrible on Come Try Out Slashdot's New Design (In Beta) · · Score: 1

    The original version is just very easy to navigate and see multiple news items on a single page. The beta, just has too many large graphic items and wasted space, with the worst font I've ever seen. I fail to see the visual improvement

  2. Re:Suggestions on Ask Slashdot: What Would You Include In a New Building? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Since you're the only (IT) person, it might be a very good idea allocate budget $ and hire a firm that has the experience designing facilities. Aside from the fact you might miss a very important feature, you really should have the input from professionals that have experience along with the electrical/fire/security since it does not seem to be your expertise. The money spent at the design phase just might save you that much more down the line, especially since a small error could have major consequences. Just my $.02

    That's not true.........zzzzzzz

  4. Re:VMWare is no good on VMware "Miles Ahead" of Microsoft Virtual Server · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've used VMWare and found that you might need to change some of the install options for Redhat (or Suse for that matter) to get them to install in VMWare. A few were ACPI=off, IDE=nodma and sometimes it was just a video option and the installs worked just fine.

  5. Re:How to defeat it: Cellphone blocked locations. on Verizon to Launch Mobile 'Chaperone' Service · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, we live in a place where, even if you take blatent actions to defeat a form of service or security, you can still wind up with a lawsuit. For example, a kid can cut through a chainlink fence at rail-road tracks, get amputated by the train that hits him, and the family can still sue the rail-road agency and win. I was just trying to point out that some parents might think the service is more than what it is, just informational, as you have pointed out.

  6. Re:How to defeat it: Cellphone blocked locations. on Verizon to Launch Mobile 'Chaperone' Service · · Score: 1

    And what happens in those places where they block cell-phone signals? Let's feed that to the lawyers when something happens to the kid...

  7. In other, other news... on New Tech to Help Prevent Hearing Loss? · · Score: 1

    ... another new invention, called the 'dimmer-switch', has been invented to help prevent eyes from being irritated by too much light. This follows on the footsteps of 'sun-glasses' which help in the outdoor environment where a dimmer-switch can not be used...

  8. Re: Obligitory.... on New "Hairy Lobster" Crustacean Discovered and Classified · · Score: 1

    I for one welcome our new Hairy Crustacean Overlords!

  9. Re:Higher security? on Unlock Your Doors With a Knock Code · · Score: 1

    News flash..... Security was breached at an Israeli High-Tech company, by a parrot. His accomplices, 3 wood-peckers, refused to talk....
