  1. Re:With all due respect, how is this news? on New Enterprise-Level Ubuntu Due This Week · · Score: 1
    ... Actually: This post is very informative. I just got home last night from Halfax, NS, Canada. [from SK, Canada] I've gone about a week without any real time on the internet.

    Thank you slashdot for your beautiful feed that has helped me recover from the very lengthy time I have just endured without internet.

    P.S. - To anyone who cares at all, I was at the Skills Canada Competition in the WTCC Building for Web Site Development. I placed 2nd.

    Ok, so everyone now knows you're a Mac user, you can go away now..
    Actually: No. I am not. I use this new, hip thing called L-I-N-U-X. ;-)
  3. Huh? on Spy Sweeper, the Next Netscape? · · Score: 1
    ... what the hell is this "spyware" you speak of?

    Is it some kind of game?

    [annoying dial-up sounds] "iBook phone home..."

    Yeah. I'd be pretty annoyed, too.

    ... saying "I need a miniature Semi with the full power of a regular-sized Semi to take on an air plane with me so I can work on it."

    I think you're just lost as to what you need. For development work, you only need little hardware. Unless you need something that will compile in an instant. What you seem to be looking for is total over-kill.

  7. Re:Seems to me every other /. story is about Wii on LucasArts Shows Interest In Wii Lightsaber Game · · Score: 0
    ... I am completely not up-to-date on the whole Revo/Wii thing, but last I heard it was supposed to be it's own proprietary hardware... so hacking Linux into it will be a pain.

    Perhaps someone can clarify?

  8. Re:It Depends on There Is No 'Microsoft of Linux'? · · Score: 1, Insightful
    ... I don't feel it's fair you only mention KDE & GNOME. What about XFCE and friends?

    Personally, I use XFCE. Faster than any windows installation I've ever seen. :-P

  12. Hmmm... on 2.6 Linux Kernel in Need of an Overhaul? · · Score: 1
    On this computer I am running 2.6.5-7.201-default [on SUSE 9.1 Personal -- installed near 3 years ago] I don't seem to be experiencing any problems. Only problem I ever really had was back within the first month after installing. CD-RW seemed to want to crash every time I tried to burn anything. Simple upgrade fixed that problem...

    Although I am not very fluent when it comes to kernel development [read: don't have a clue] I really don't care what they decide to do. So far it works fine for my needs. :-) Have no intentions of ever going back to the big W. Ever.

    Within the next few weeks here, I will be converting this system to Gentoo... we'll see what problems may be around the corner. :-)

  16. Re:Urge to kill...rising... on Web 2.0 Recipes With PHP + DHTML · · Score: 1
    Spinners turn out to be collapsable sections of text. You can click an arrow or a +/- to expand them and read them or make them just a single line. So yes, they're very obnoxious.

    Sasktel, my ISP, is clean. No throttling, no blocking, etc. Probably the only one that isn't.

  19. G4... on PhysX Dedicated Physics Processor Explored · · Score: 0
    I saw this on G4 Tech-TV a while back... damn near a year ago, actually. I think he mentioned they will come with a price tag of around $600-$700 USD..

    No... I didn't read the article.

  20. Re:Sounds familiar on Flawed AMD Chip Can Lead To Data Corruption · · Score: 1
    This actually happened to a customer of mine.

    He's a heavy gamer... for the longest time we thought it was something like the power supply or maybe the RAM... turns out it was the processor.

    Long story short, we replaced the processor and I haven't heard any complaints yet.

    I'll admit I don't use/apply them all the time... mainly the web stuff, which seems to be the paying profession I have fallen into. So the first 5 are used most often.

    You'll have to apply a prefix to all of your accounts [eg: -mybusiness-_-username-@gmail.com] and then map users to gmail MX & POP/IMAP accounts... good luck with that. :-)
