Clutz

On: Why geek geniuses may lack social graces

I trip over things and knock things over. I'm a clutz?

I'm a pretty decent rollerhocky player. I skate fast and shot well. I'm a jock?

Which is it?

I've always thought that I'm normally a clutz because I'm always thinking. When I'm walking around I don't pay attention to where I'm walking... I'm always thinking of something else.

When I play rollerhockey I focus... on rollerhockey. I'm not a clutz anymore because I stop thinking about other things and focus on the game.

Is this the mild autism that they're talking about? Sounds kinda like it, but I don't think so.

I don't rock back and forth. I consider myself to be an empathatic person.

On the other hand.... I can't dance. At times I have trouble making social conversation.

Something to think about, eh...

Re:Official Red Hat != Red Hat Distro

On: Red Hat Tightening Trademarks?

Official Red Hat Linux 6 does not include any non-free software with its distribution. When you buy RHL6 the value-add that they provide is:

• a brand name
• 90 days web/email support
• 30 days phone
• access to priority.redhat.com ftp server
• the Applications CD, which is demo versions of non-free software
• a warm and fuzzy feeling

Non-official Red Hat Linux 6 is otherwise identical to Official Red Hat Linux 6.

Re:You don't have the privacy right (nor should yo

On: Ask Slashdot: Privacy in the Workplace

At my office we have no privacy:

• we have to give our supervisor our root passwd
• we can't lock our screens when we're away from our machine
• we are not allowed to encrypt any files on our system
• we have to agree that anything on our computers is owned by the company and they can access it
• no personal business on our computers

No problem... I simply ssh to another box where I do all my email. I don't give my work email address to people unless it will only be work related. Of course, with email, you can never assume it will always be secret.
