  1. Tell em on Uneducated IT Managers, and How to Deal? · · Score: 0

    I got a boss just like that. He knows alot about selling stuff but squat about technology. Me and 2 co-workers called him in for a meeting and explained it to him. He didn't get mad and he actually signed up for some courses to get his knowledge up.

  2. Hmmm on Intel On A Building Spree · · Score: 0

    I don't know if it is wise to build a 4 billion dollar plant in such a politically unstable region. Call me paranoid but I just do not think it's such a great idea.

  3. Sure on The State of Solid State Storage · · Score: 0

    100 bucks for 4GB's or RAM isn't back at all. No sir. TOobad the cards costs 100 bucks and 1GB or ram generally costs 100bucks a piece where I live. So would I pay 500$ for 4GB Ramdisk. THanks but no thanks.

  4. Coolness factor on Google Takes Top Spot From Time Warner · · Score: 0

    Still Time Warner owns BATMAN. That gives them the edge. Batman alone must be worth gazillions!

  5. Best way to clean on The Worst Foods to Eat Over a Keyboard · · Score: 0

    DISHWASHER, realy, poke out all the keys, get the elektronics out and shuff it in the dishwasher. Brandnew!. Thenafter you have fun trying to put it back together! Awesome!

  6. Uhhm,.. on Aquarium Full of Oil For PC Cooling · · Score: 0

    We had this at the lab in 1995. This shouldn't be called "News" but 'Olds"

  7. Yes on Non-Technical Managers in a Technical Company? · · Score: 0

    A friend of mine is a plant manager at a multi-billion pharmaceutical and chemical company (Solvay Pharma) and he knows jack-shizz about Chemistry or medicine. Yet he is a great manager. Managers don't need to know what exactly is going on. They just have to lead people. Amdn be good at management.

  8. They are probably right on Washington Finds Computer Simulation Unreliable · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Their prediction on WMD's was also unreliable.

  11. My country! on Dutch Say No to Software Patent Directive · · Score: 1

    Makes me bloody proud to be a Dutchman. I love my country!

  12. Not much on What Do You Charge for Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    I charge 30$ for Windows problems. 40$ an hour for network related problems (pain in the ass). Hardware problems I charge 30$ and I bring it in at a local hardware store and they charge 25$ an hour. People pay it and it's good business. As a student the money rolls in :D

  13. Gentoo on Which Linux for Professional Admins? · · Score: 1

    I used to run Red Hat on my website server. But then those money greedy clods decided to charge money for updates. I switched to Gentoo (had a friend install it) and now it runs very very smooth. The administation is FAR easier then with Red Hat once it runs. I am never changing back!

  14. /.soon to be slashdotted on Through The Steve Ballmer Looking Glass · · Score: 1

  18. Linky? on 64-bit Windows XP Tested And Reviewed · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Anyone got a download link, I NEED to try this fudger out.

  19. Bit of both on Being Free is Hard to Do · · Score: 1

    Listen it is simpel, I am a great big fan of Linux, but I bought a 4000$graphical work and gaming station last month, and yes I run Windows XP SP2 on it. It works fine. I need Windows for things like Photoshop, Illustrator and Freehand and most importantly MS Exchange for my job/hobby. On the other hand I have a good 64 bit computer which runs Gentoo, it is for browsing, type writing and other non-graphic things. I have a KVM switch so I can easily swap between the 2 systems. SO I have the best of both worlds, and really anyone who thinks Microsoft is REALLY a piece of good-for-nothing junk is very short sighted.

  20. hehe on Microsoft Releases AntiSpyware Program · · Score: 1

    So what does this do? Uninstall Windows and replace it with Linux?

  21. No way in hell I'll prove this on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 1

    That Microsoft actually makes quite decent software.

  22. Old news on Netcraft Releases Anti-Phishing Toolbar · · Score: 1

  23. Beer on What Interests High-School Students? · · Score: 1

    Mostly beer. ANd since beer is legal here at 16, most highschool students get hammered in the weekends. I know I did.

  24. Batt life on TV On Cellphones Ever Closer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So I watch the news on my phone, and the battery gets drained faster then me after 10 beers. Great going. For me phones need to do 2 things: 1. Being able to make a phone call 2. Being able to send a short message. THe rest is voodoo mumbo jumbo. Who concurs?
