  1. Re:my advice on Dealing with Corporate FUD About Linux? · · Score: 1

    And this person gets money to pay you how? Must be very good at something else than IT....

    If this is someones pet startup, the owner knows nothing about IT (and by the sound of it is _the_ PHB) and still makes all the IT decisions.. well.

    I hope your boss realises his mistake and hires a good IT manager or tries listening to his employees (he trusted you enough to hire you). Dumb people deserve to fail.

  2. Re:perhaps you should read the news on Danish, Western Websites Under Attack · · Score: 1

    Until around the late 1980s, the word was commonly spelled Moslem. The spelling has since fallen into disuse. Muslims do not recommend this spelling because it is often pronounced "mawzlem," which sounds somewhat similar to an Arabic word for "oppressor" (Za'lem in Arabic). The word is pronounced "Mus"-lim in Arabic, but some English dictionaries allow both "Mus"-lim and "Muz"-lim. The word is now most commonly written "Muslim".

    You're right. English isn't my first language so I just picked one. I'll use muslim from now on.

    Eh, so what, getting mad about a carricature just shows a lack of self-irony.

    Yeah, let the zealots spoil the fun for the rest of us.

    Everybody, be polite and wear burkas, otherwise some insane guy will be displeased, even though we're not moslems.
    Everybody, don't say jehovah, otherwise some insane guy will be displeased.

    I think not. I don't like christianity and do not pay any special attention to its customs. I'm not about to extend that courtesy to any other religion either.

    I do however try to behave in a civilized manner, follow the (secular) law where it makes sense and do my best to get along with rational and reasonable people.

    Indeed.

    They (meaning individual insane moslems, though there seems to be a lot of them) also miss (or choose to not get) the point that the government/people of Denmark have no control over what some editor chooses to publish if it's not illegal (Hey everybody, go kill $some_guy), and then only after the fact.

    Dude, google doesn't care if they're PPC, the issue is if they're contextual or not. Chitika is PPC.

    I agree with you regarding the amazon logo. Lots of free branding for them.

  14. Re:My thoughts... on State of Multi-Monitor Gaming? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes, multiple monitors may be appropriate to distinguish between different tasks or parts of tasks (multi-window apps), but gaming is one one-window task and therefore a huge monitor is the appropriate solution. Even better if it was flexible or produced 120 degrees concave or so.

    But yes, until we get curved displays 3 monitor gaming is a workable solution for peripheral vision. But I'd still go with a 30" cinema display.

    Guys and girls should all get respect according to their individual worth(/lessness), not as guys or girls.

    Some girls treat men as crap, some men are crap. Some men treat girls like crap, some girls are crap.

    Can't we all just get along? - Probably not..

  17. Re:Format? on Google to Compete with iTunes? · · Score: 1

    Not that I think that these rumors (that's all they are, remember) are true, but I should hope they'd have FLAC as an option.

    I prefer buying lossless music since HD space is cheap these days.

    The Mythbusters did this already, they fired off the rocket car in the desert with some spooks keeping an eye on them :)

    It's not just foreigners that are easy to fool, people are easy to fool (foreigners are people too).
