    A sucker bet is always best :).... now if only someone would quote me some decent odds.

  2. Pot Kettle Black? on Group Calls For Google Antitrust Probe · · Score: 1

    Who would like to bet that this is backed heavily by Microsoft?

  3. Re:Linux Wars? It's a matter of choice! on Fedora 8 A Serious Threat to Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Well as a long time linux user. You can make it as simple or as complex as you want. The easiest way is to setup a separate /home partition. There are tons of other ways from NFS mounting, Samba PDC roaming profiles, etc...

    I use unison onto my server but its whatever your needs are.

  4. Re:Wow . . . on Getting A Handle On Vista · · Score: 1

    Hey man X11 has had transparency since the Xorg6.7 release. Also KDE has had software supported transparency for far longer.

  5. Re:Mixing lies with truth on Microsoft's 'Hands-On' Linux Lab · · Score: 1

    The best way to do so is as follows:

    Two parts truth
    One part lie

    Mix well and most will swallow it. ;)

  6. Re:A Chilling Effect on Free Software Mag Interviews Sys-Con Publisher · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well its rather simple. To an inexperienced sys admin a slashdotting looks identical to a DDoS.

  7. Re:Turning off the computer is costly on Helping IT Save Money ... and Jobs? · · Score: 1

    An easy way to setup money if your network can hardle it is as follows. Have the computer automatically shut down after everyone has left. Then script a LAN boot to run in the morning before anyone gets there.

  8. Re:Samsung Laser Printers on Finding a Reliable Laser Printer? · · Score: 1

    I have the ML-1710, it works great with my Linux systems FYI.

  9. Re:Just look at the size of a word document today on Where Have All The Cycles Gone? · · Score: 1

    But you don't do massive documents in Word. It starts to slow down and screw up after 60 pages of text.

    Then I stand corrected.

  11. Re:Meh... on KLOSS KL-I915A - SFF With An Edge · · Score: 1

    I got from the spec sheet:
    PCI Express None
    Or am I being blind today?

  12. Meh... on KLOSS KL-I915A - SFF With An Edge · · Score: 0, Troll

    Well this seems to be a smaller PC with nothing good to offer. One PCI slot for expansion. No AGP or PCI-X. Also they only support Pentium 4s so you're looking at a portable toaster.

  13. Re:Why HDD? on MXF+JPEG-2000+HDD = Future of Video Preservation? · · Score: 1

    There is a reason why most companies insist on off-site and on site storage. So when you make that mirrored copy, you send one drive to your friend 500 miles away. It really, as always comes down to how much your data is worth. Months to a few years: Optical Years to a decade: HDD Decades: Tape

  14. Re:Why HDD? on MXF+JPEG-2000+HDD = Future of Video Preservation? · · Score: 3, Informative

    If you just mirror it on two hard drives and then put them into storage, they will last for a very long time. HDDs only die when run via wearing out and not just sitting on the shelf.

  15. Great Except..... on MXF+JPEG-2000+HDD = Future of Video Preservation? · · Score: 1

    for all those lousy patent lawsuits you'll get now.

  16. Re:Past Employee\Prior art on Yahoo! Sues Xfire Game Browser · · Score: 1

    How about the most famous messaging system? Battle.net from Blizzard, and its also old enough to qualify as prior art.
