    And sircam wont get the air it deserves until the private doco's flying around, actually do some damage other than sapping our bandwidth .
    Actually I wouldn't mind seeing a web page dedicated to putting "lost doco's" from sircam on it.
    Very vouyreistic ;-)

    I thought the GPL was a fairly tough license that is difficult to circumvent.. so how can the take a GPL product and re-license it as something else.. is it legal???

  5. Good God! on Open Source Is Bad [updated] · · Score: 1
    Where do these people come from?

    Next they'll say that its "Illeagle" to use OS/OS's because it robs the companies of making money buy employing people to make them, therefore bringing the country to its knees and forcing M$ to make higher priced software with asphixylating TOS ......

    Sometimes I scare myself...

  6. Re:Valley startup syndrome. My life in a bucket. on Coder on the Cross · · Score: 1

    I hear you.
    But I have a soloution for you as well.
    The very fact that you know your weakness and down falls means you can fix them.
    If I can give any usefull advice it is this:
    Find someone to train you in personal Administration.
    Your problems are the same as mine, When being asked too much (under the pump). My personal administration is the first thing to suffer when I'm scrambling to get my mind focused on what is important.
    The thing that "makes" Managers, Team leaders, Lead programmers etc succesfull is not raw talent or skill, It's the ability to stay in touch with ALL aspects of the world around them while being pushed harder and harder.
    I still have a long way to go in that respect, but I can see an obtainable point where I'm going to be HAPPY, WELL PAID and still ENJOYING my JOB!
    And its all because my personal administration is becomming under control.
    Good luck. It's hard work no-matter how you go about it.

  7. Re:Why? Who would use it? on Review Of Small Business Suite for Linux · · Score: 1

    Quote: Now, how many of those people are in Notes environments? A couple thousand? Is it even that many?
    A couple of thousand?!?!?!
    Get a grip nobby, The company I work for alone has at least a thousand licenses.
    Companies like Coke cola, Reebok, BHP, etc etc etc are very heavily Notes oreintated.
    I would guess there to be at least 10,000 Notes licenses in Australia alone...

    ========== Wow, it's been a while since I thought about that. ========== Thats what the game is all about isn't it... I havn't played a game that stimulated me as much as the original MTG did. After I stopped playing due to totally stuffed rules and new cards (Pokamon stile) I could never go back to it. Gods I miss the thrill I felt pulling off an all artifact / colourless deck.

  11. Consultants... a lighter side of... on Ethics In Computer Consulting · · Score: 5

    Once upon a time there was a shepherd tending his sheep at the edge of a country road. A brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee screeches to a halt next to him. The driver, a young man dressed in a Brioni suit, Cerrutti shoes, Ray-Ban glasses, and Jovial Swiss wrist watch, gets out and asks the shepherd: "If I guess how many sheep you have, will you give me one of them?" The shepherd looks at the young man, then looks at the sprawling field of sheep and says: "Okay." The young man parks the SUV, connects his notebook and wireless modem, enters a NASA site, scans the ground using his GPS, opens a database and 60 Excel tables filled with algorithms, then prints a 150 page report on his high tech mini printer. He then turns to the shepherd and says: "You have exactly 1,586 sheep here." The shepherd answers: "That's correct, you can have your sheep." The young man takes one of the animals and puts it in the back of his vehicle. The shepherd looks at him and asks: "Now, if I guess your profession, will you pay me back in kind?" The young man answers: "Sure." The shepherd says: "You are a consultant." "Exactly! How did you know," asks the young man? Very simple, answers the shepherd. "First, you came here without being called. Second, you charged me a fee to tell me something I already knew. Third, you do not understand anything about my business and I'd really like to have my dog back."
