    Interesting. The summary no longer contains the last sentence. I thought Slashdot was very strict about editing summaries.

  12. Re:Two Computers + Two Monitors? on Using Two Monitors Makes You More Productive? · · Score: 0

    I also have 2 computers + 2 monitors: 1 running linux and 1 running windows. I primarily use linux and have VNC Server installed on the windows box. I use vncviewer on linux to do anything I need to on the windows box. The vncviewer window is always open on one of the virtual desktops on linux so switching between the two boxes is a snap.

    The monitor attached to the windows box remains turned off. Works out great.

  17. Re:zero day on Microsoft Issues Zero-Day Attack Alert For Word · · Score: 0

    Zero day [wikipedia.org]: At the time the details of the exploit are published (or the patch is released), there already is an active exploit being circulated. I guess if you don't know exactly when the exploit was released it's a technically "less than or equal to zero-day" exploit, but that doesn't sound as sexy.
    Wow... wikipedia really let itself go since the last time I checked...
  18. Re:Browser choice on Microsoft's IE Team Leader Answers Slashdot Questions · · Score: 0

    What? So you expect Microsoft to bundle Firefox with the OS? Also, I know he said download, but there are other ways to install a browser on a new install.

  24. A wrench on Build a Better Netflix, Win a Million Dollars? · · Score: 0

    I share a netflix account with 4 others in my family. We all have very different tastes in movies. I like the horror and foreign film genre, whereas my brother prefers oldies, and comedies, while others are 'Friends' fans. An algorithm would need to keep this scenario into consideration as well, as I am sure this is not uncommon.
