    And if your company has deep pockets, then this is a viable solution. Even if the company has deep pockets, the management may pinch every penny regardless, then you're back to the age-old problem for many: IT people talking to non-IT people.

    As part of my fraternity room, I put in an old school tv/atari. Got to blow those damn things to make 'em work. But, Ahhh, there's more people in my room playing Combat tanks than there are in the room next door with the Xbox 360 AND a Playstation 2.

    Not true from my experience (could just be piss-poor-airline?). Multiple times my bags have beaten me to my final destination. Especially apparent when I fly out to visit my grandparents with a stop over in Mini-Haha.

  8. Re:Two words.... on Is Open Source too Complex? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I (like you), also have my file system memorized. I know where everything is located, and am a sorting-nazi, so "cd /home/user/docs/dir/stuff" is the way I navigate. But Look at most people's filing cabinets, and it's a mess. Look at their computer.... also a mess. For me, if I'm in unknown territory, it's quicker to click through a bunch of folders rather than cd folder ... cd another_folder... etc.

  14. Online Universities on Teachers Union Opposes Virtual K-8 Charter School · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If I were to hire an employee, I would disregard any degrees from online universities. Why should I (and any private high schools/colleges) consider a student who comes from an online middle school?

    Interesting.. I just discovered an older version of GNUCash this morning and had some complaints (enough to keep me from using it), but according to the change log, my largest complaints are fixed. It'll be interesting to see how well the DirectConnect works... and more importantly... is it secure enough to trust?

  22. Re:Stock Tip on Apple to Unveil New Leopard OS in August · · Score: 2, Insightful

    First of all, let me state for the record that by no means am I a mac fanboy. I run windows to play games, I support OSX at the work place, and run linux for everything else.

    Now to the point: If OSX (or Leopard) ran on PC's it WOULD NOT have every single one of XP's problems "in minutes" -- nor ever. While driver issues could cause *some* problems - by no means would it be the downfall of Apple's OS. I can't help but laugh when Window's Folks use the "Driver Excuse" to explain why Windows has so many problems. It's been said before, and I'll say it again: Window's biggest problem (i.e. reason for instability) is backwards-compatibility. Apple has been avoiding that pretty well.

    Yes, if OSX (or Leopard) ran on PC's (and got a large enough market share), it would certainly become a larger target for spyware and viri, but I think because of its Unix backbone, OSX would be able to hold off better than Windows.

    MS have a lot more practice at dealing with those issues which is why XP is by and large, so much better than 9x in these ways.
    First of all: MS has more practice? Yeah, more practice at avoiding the issues! Second, Yeah, OS9 had problems... and the progress OSX has over OS9 is a heck of a lot more compared Windows 95 -> 98 -> ME (yeah, I joke) --> 2000 --> XP. Comparing XP to OS9 isn't fair. Course, OSX against XP is a blowout too...
