  1. Re:Actually... on Windows 7 To Come In Multiple Versions · · Score: 1

    The investment bank I recently worked for paid MS a fixed amount per "seat" per year, which gave them carte blanche to deploy as much end-user and server software (Office, Server OS, MS-SQL, Exchange, Sharepoint, Virtual Server, HyperVisor and so forth) as they wanted.

    But does that include Songsmith?!

  20. Re:Watermarks on How Do You Monitor Documents? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What's to prevent someone from removing the watermark on a copy and then sending it off? I thought the idea of watermarking was to make it automatic and invisible to the ordinary user.

    Just to let you know, I tried changing to "High Contrast Large Print Inverse" in Ubuntu and it applied wonderfully. Everything scaled, even the icons. The scrollbars were large, and it even changed the font to match.

    I have a packages file on my thumbdrive.
    sudo apt-get install < packages.txt
    Leave it for an hour and I'm good to go. I could even take that a step further and just drag my old home folder over to get all my old settings for all programs.
