  1. We're Doing It on Cost-Conscious Companies Turn To Open Source · · Score: 1

    JSF, RichFaces, Hibernate, MySQL, developed on NetBeans and served by Apache TomCat on CentOS for a state government contract.

    We have to train ourselves, but that's half the fun.

    The other half will be when we pull the plug on one legacy Oracle database with a per CPU cycle license the state is paying an obscene amount of money for.

  2. So, If I Voted Republican on Obama Launches Change.gov · · Score: 1

    . . . does Change.gov have information on my Change Camp, including locations and report no-later-than dates?

  3. A Question For Bush-Haters in the U.S. on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 1

    Now that your man has won and you control both houses of Congress, will you apologize for the hateful invective you've been spewing for the past eight years against your country and fellow countrymen who didn't agree with you? Will you acknowledge that your predictions of a draft, martial law, a war for oil, etc, were all wrong?

    I didn't think so. Enjoy the next four years - it might be another eight after that before you get to the keys to the car again.

    When do I have to report for re-education camp?

  5. Re:I Didn't Vote For Obama on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    You will be proud? What a fucking joke, you should be frightened and ashamed at the stupidity of the electorate, the complicity of the media and scared for the future

    With you serving as an excellent example. But I know you're a small minority - you and your twisted opinions don't matter at all in the scale of ages.

  6. I Didn't Vote For Obama on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    . . . but I'll be damned proud of my country if he's elected.

    We've come a long way in the past 30 years - and we still have a long way to go, but I have faith America will fulfill the promise made to us in the Declaration of Independence - that ALL men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

    God bless America.

  7. That's Great But on Duplicating Your Housekeys, From a Distance · · Score: 1

    . . . when will they be able to make a new set on the spot for me after I lock them in my car?

    Can somebody make an iPhone app that does that?

    Please?

  8. Re:But will the wifi work? on Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) Released · · Score: 1

    Brother, I feel your pain. I tried to get several wireless cards to work to no avail. The Ubuntu forums are flooded with requests for help to get various wireless cards working.

    Instead I loaded Ubuntu 8.04 onto a desktop machine, plugged it into my wireless router, and use NoMachine's free server and client (like Remote Desktop for Linux) to connect to the desktop from an old laptop running Windows XP Home edition.

    Of course, YMMV.

  9. Re:Some are more equal than others... on Palin E-mail Hacker Indicted · · Score: 1

    How many times a day do bitter exs break into each others accounts? Nothing ever comes of those incidents.

    And how many of your exs are running for Vice President of the United States of America?

    Yeah, you WISH she was your ex.

    Me too.

  10. Re:Don't bother applying, you'll just load missile on Air Force To Re-Open Pursuit of Cyber Command · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually it does work like that. Since you already have a degree, you just go to OTS and become an officer.

    No, you APPLY to OTS and IF you're selected and IF you complete the school, you become an officer.

  11. Note to Potential American Emigrants to Ireland: on Facebook Finds Grass Greener In Ireland · · Score: 2, Funny

    Shillelaghs, tweed caps, and green t-shirts with orange "I <heart> Ireland" printing are NOT cool.

    Dude, I'm a USian - can't you do the rest for me and give me a U.S. city/town equivalent? Like 1 Bristol = 2 Dubuques, or 1 Bristol = 1 Portland, OR, or something like that?

    You dick!

  20. Re:Meanwhile in Tibet. . . on YouTube Stands Up To IOC Over Free Tibet Video · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Bumper stickers are more about making yourself feel good than actually doing something to end Chinese oppression.

    Why don't the folks who put bumper stickers on their cars and wear the cool t-shirts organize an expeditionary force like the Abraham Lincoln Brigade that traveled to Spain to fight Franco's fascists?

    And if it ended up being a suicide mission it would certainly draw the attention of all the major news networks and the brave volunteers could go to their deaths knowing they sacrificed their lives for a greater good.

  21. Meanwhile in Tibet. . . on YouTube Stands Up To IOC Over Free Tibet Video · · Score: 1

    . . . Tibetans are risking their lives and liberty to fight Chinese oppression.

    Although I applaud the recent demonstration by western supporters of Tibet in China at the Olympic Games, I think they and we knew that at most they risked a few days in jail and deportation. China wouldn't dare treat them the same way they treat Tibetans while the whole world was watching.

    I'll have a lot more respect for pro-Tibetan protesters when they put their own lives and liberty at risk in support of a Free Tibet.

    Sorry, but bumper stickers ain't gonna do it.
