  1. Puh-leeze on Office 12 to Include Native PDF Support · · Score: 1
    Give me a break, many Word Processors have had PDF support for ages. But indeed it will be a revolutionary product...NOT!

    Think about more of the new features...

    o It'll need more time to load the Drivers. (remember the problems wiht Acrobat 6, which they solved in 7)

    o It'll crash more often than before, another plugin too much

    o You'll need a very heavy set PC, min 1G ram

  2. Next within 2 hours on news! on Google Forms Partnership With NASA · · Score: 2, Funny

    Google's partnership with NASA confirmed! :-)

  3. Right but... on Firefox Momentum Slows · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But Firefox will find it difficult to move into the double digits of market share, and retain those numbers. "It's hard to get there," said Johnston. "To do it, Firefox has to go mainstream." It's time firefox is also bundled in the new PC's /laptops which are sold out there into the market.

  4. Anyways... on MIT Unveils Prototype for $100 Linux Laptop · · Score: 1

    100$ is still very high for poor families. I'm curious who will dish out the dough! But it is indeed a massive endeavour, it's gonna bring lot's of engaging minds together!

  5. Re:Instant Messaging Too on Early AJAX Office Applications · · Score: 1

    And then when an employee gets fired at meebo, he/she sells all your accounts (GTalk,Yahoo..) to his new employer. Neat huh?

  6. Google Universe? on Google And NASA To Collaborate On Technology · · Score: 1

    "Google and NASA share a common desire--to bring a universe of information to people around the world," said Eric Schmidt, Google chief executive officer. "Imagine having a wide selection of images from the Apollo space mission at your fingertips whenever you want it. That's just one small example of how this collaboration could help broaden technology's role in making the world a better place." So I guess that's the next Google venture. Good thing is that they're supporting the ailing yet very crucial organisation like NASA. good job fellas!

  7. My prediction ... on Early AJAX Office Applications · · Score: 3, Interesting

    that Google will come out with it's Online GoogleOffice Suite here and eventually a Web Deployable OS with unstructured XML DB will soon be reality. Like I say, People will make lot's of Software, it's the impeccable timing of Google, that will make their products shine, be it Office products or others.

  8. Sure all he needed was on Unreliable Linux Dumped from Crest Electronics · · Score: 1

    A good Linux Sys Admin. Just one was enough! He'd have adone all the work for you in --Evaluating HW/SW --Drivers -- Compatibility --Security And please don't tell me Windows is better option, Sure if you don't know what you *really* want from your deployment, then go for windows, there it fits perfectly fine. Just click next and all is done.NOT!... Look at all the *openness* that makes it a ready target to all kinds of breaches (So is Linux BUT it can be secured with more intelligence than on Windows level). Anyways Linux just needs a Good backing. Novell is beginning to do a good job on SuSe/Open Exchage Servers etc.

  9. Propogate these views on High-Performance Linux Clustering · · Score: 1

    from a business point of view. And try to sell it across the Business Community, Companies are still cn windows. They need to not just encourage such endeavours(frm their high towers) but also adapt them in order to help Small Scale and Medium Scale businesses take full advantage of HPC on Linux.

  10. Well on Palm's Mistakes · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Synchronization between the Microsoft and Palm became a critical issue, particularly since Windows is already in 95 percent of corporate environments" And that's the crux of the whole problem. And indeed poor decision/timing were also palm's mistakes.

  11. congratulations on Nuna 3 wins World Solar Cup for the 3rd Time · · Score: 0

    to our dutch team :-)

  12. Education as a whole is suffering on Why Students Are Leaving Engineering · · Score: 1

    Education all around the world needs a boost. It certainly needs some make-over. The way we handle(or should I say "should handle/tackle") are current business problems are changing, So we MUST prepare youngsters to get more excited about learning.

  13. I had all these on my wishlist... on MySQL 5.0 Candidate Released · · Score: 1

    Database clustering and load balancing(Like the Oracle RAC), is it already available?. Although I'm glad to see the Stored Proc's, Triggers have been included. But good for the dev team :-)

  14. It's not Vs but on Pay vs. Happiness · · Score: 1

    (fat) Pay = Happiness (fat)Pay == Happiness :-)

  15. It's about time that... on Red Hat and HP Establish Linux Storage Lab · · Score: 4, Interesting

    People start shedding fears of the penguin. It's an alternative and it's very much user friendly. I predict that soon the users community will shift/accept it even at home. Although I see Novell(suse) making more progress there. Red Hat recently announced that GFS is now supported by Oracle for use with Real Application Cluster database configurations, and has been certified for use with EMC's Clariion networked storage systems, and Celerra iSCSI network attached storage systems, as well as Network Appliance's SAN interfaces BTW HP has been offering RAC on RHEL already for a long time now. Althoug hte GFS will certainly avoid the need of running the HP clsuterware(I hope) tool.

  16. Re:Every OS needs protection on Korean Mozilla Binaries Infected · · Score: 1

    I will continue to run Linux WITHOUT anti-virus software because I understand how viruses/worms/trojans work Good for you :-)

  17. Every OS needs protection on Korean Mozilla Binaries Infected · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And that applies to Linux as well. Yet another example of why you should have an up to date antivirus solution, and scan EVERYTHING you download, without exception. This is what we ought to teach end users to practice and also system Admins need to follow advice on this. Understand SELinux, Firewalling and virus detection is crucial.
