  1. Restore from suspend on Fedora 16 To Use Btrfs Filesystem By Default · · Score: 1

    There is currently alot of work to be done, if you have btrfs mounts at the moment in F15 then you system hangs a few seconds after restoring from a suspend.

  2. Working in a Computer Science group.. on Ask Slashdot: Do I Give IT a Login On Our Dept. Server? · · Score: 1

    I work in a computer science group in a hospital, we constantly run ins like this with the IT group and we would deal with an issue like this by saying a straight out no. We manage our own servers, if IT screw them up then our systems are up the creek and we get shouted at. It is worth pointing out that we try to keep as upfront as possible with IT about ongoing projects that will directly influence their infrastructure i.e firewall etc.

  3. Not exactly true. on Why UK Banks Don't Tweet · · Score: 2

    Here is the Twitter account of Lloyds TSB (A British Bank) https://twitter.com/LloydsTSBOnline/ - it does seem to be the only one though.

  4. Re:Two words on UK Plans To Monitor 20,000 Families' Homes Via CCTV · · Score: 1

    WHAT?! So Diana wasn't murdered by Prince Phillip?!

  5. Re:More likely on CentOS Administrator Reappears · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I totally agree, unfortunately i administer a few centOS boxes at work. This will be bought up and i will argue for moving to a more open community distro which is a shame because i quite like centOS - however if it can not be relied upon like that it just looks bad.

  6. Needs IE to download on Windows 7 Beta Released To Public After Delay · · Score: 1

    Windows 7 beta needs IE (and therefore windows) to download, so looks like no virtual machine for me.

  7. Re:Easy... on 20 Features Windows 7 Should Include · · Score: 1

    Full unix certification - apple managed it and came up with quite a respectable OS.

  8. Re:Probably not on OpenSUSE 11.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I agree totally, the package manager on openSUSE 10.3 was the reason i switched to ubuntu, i found it utterly horrible to use over my network - i much prefer apt-get and synaptic. On a different note however i would say that i found the installer really good on 10.3, i don't know what the new one is like though.

  9. Re:Pure profit? on Radiohead May Have Made $6-$10 Million on Name-Your Cost Album · · Score: 1

    RTFA - Radiohead are now out of contract with their label, once they have covered all the server and bandwidth overheads all the profits are theres.

  10. 8 Bit-Tie on WiiHelms Go on Sale · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ok how many people actually want one of those.... so just me then...

  11. Re:homes of intimidated users on Why "Yahoo" Is The #1 Search Term On Google · · Score: 1

    A guy i work with who is one of the key members of our IT team refuses to use the address bar. for instance he will google wikipedia instead of using his address bar. I personally see this as an increadable whaste of time for something you know the address off... maybe hes just trying to slack a little but isn't very good at it...

  12. Re:Meant to say this last week.. but.. on Vista Exploit Surfaces on Russian Hacker Site · · Score: 1

    MS pays $50,000-a-hack the Spamers pay $60,000-a-hack. In any case the spammers will cough up more for the code.

  13. Re:The ideal copyright system... on UK Report Suggests Tougher Copyright Laws · · Score: 1

    "Is one that only allows copyrights to be owned by people, not corporations." As much as i agree with the sentiment of this it would be useless in a large majority of environemtns. For instance study and research at univercitys requires that any major developments are owned by the uni in order to fund future research.

  14. Re:Reading the artcle...... on Former Spy Poisoned By Radiation In UK · · Score: 1

    As far as diagnosis gose he would almost certainly have died either way. An alpha source used as a poison will kill medical diagnosis from an alpha source of radiation will have to come from a tissue sample as opposed to being diagnosed "from the outside" this indicates to me that there has been a tisue sample analysis since his death.

  15. Price Hike on PSP Opened up and Exposed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As per usual with the release of a new console we are going to see a huge price hike in the first few months... who can be that desperate to get there hands on the system they are willing to pay a few multiples of its actual value. It will come out internationally before long so we won't have to wait to long and lets face it the games shipping at lunch will not be the ones remembered on the system.
