  4. I am gonna start my own ask slashdot thread on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Won't Fit On a CD · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Practically speaking and forgetting every small petty argument. What would it take to make ubuntu (Or any other linux Distro) a mainstream desktop OS. (Highlight DESKTOP) If you were in charge of it or could give it direction what would you do to make it work, accepted and profitable. I am hoping this will be an interesting exercise.

    or is the government just letting it thrive. I cannot imagine that software could be so self aware that upon being aware of its presence competent people cannot figure out a way to stop it once and for all or at least secure vulnerable systems from it.

  14. Re:Latitude or Thinkpad on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Choose a Windows Laptop? · · Score: 1

    while i agreed with latitudes for a while some of the ones i have recently seen in our firm like the e5500 have sub par build quality. the lid has become wobbly already and many have run into multiple issues. not that thinkpads dont have these at all but latitudes just dont seem as solid as before.

  15. Re:Nobody ever got fired for buying IBM on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Choose a Windows Laptop? · · Score: 1

    this.
    when i buy windows i go lenovo. the machines are still built like tanks and work fantastic.
    i actually convinced my boss to let me buy a lenovo in a company of dells. mind you others are or may be better but lenovo just works perfectly for me. my x61s has been running solid for 3 years now and i just got the x201 which should tide me through for another couple of years.
    if in the ultra portable space try the x220 (to be released soon) otherwise try the T series. u cant go wrong with either option.
    For the AC above. checkout the x220

  17. Re:Relational stuff scales on Horizontal Scaling of SQL Databases? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Partitioning does complicate backups and HA/DR scenarios as the entire system is dependent on all machines being up and running. Also in most commercial db's (I know about db2) this feature takes you to the enterprise tier of software which is usually very expensive.

  23. Re:My Motto on 66% of All Windows Users Still Use Windows XP · · Score: 1

    Ok my definition of vastly improved is definitely different than yours More eye candy does not equal vastly improved Just as an example the translucent bar at the top of every window. It makes reading the title difficult and serves absolutely no purpose. And u really like those big ugly icons? I Am not blind. And any one who says that start menu is bettter needs to get their head examined. I have to scroll just to get to the bottom of the first one. Click to open instead of hover. I love change but if it's for the better. I remember jumping to install xp when it came out. But haven't done the same either for vista or 7 I think eventually I Might just move to a Mac with xp as a virtual machine for my windows needs.

    I don't think it's gonna matter I hate windows 7 I tried using it for 1 week and it really has a horrible user interface I recently downgraded a brand new core i7 to xp Icons are ugly The startmenu in just one level is stupid The flashy effects make the ui worse I can't figure out shit when trying to change network settings I could go on with these forever Seriously u can pry xp out of my cold dead hands. The only way I will upgrade is if they improve the usability.
