  1. Two remote choices. on Ask Slashdot: How To Work On Source Code Without Having the Source Code? · · Score: 1

    The "expensive" but quick to implement citrix workspace. It even has the ability to run a Linux environment. The hardware to run this software is quite expensive, as well as a learning curve on the management of citrix workspace software.

    The cheaper KVM on Linux route. You still need robust hardware. As long as you don't need a 3D graphicly accelerated environment, it should work fine for remote work.

    For both instances disable USB mass storage device connections. They could still cut and past steal the code, but it would be quite a pain to do so.

  2. Re:All right, allow me to expose my ignorance on Debian Forked Over Systemd · · Score: 1

    Systemd to replace everything. Maybe thats rude. Maybe systemd is to unite everything that is disparate in Linux. Lennart's project will correct all that causes angst in the Linux world. Of course that means gathering other major important projects under or shall I say "into" his. Maybe... eventually... the kernel?

  3. Re:A great step, but only a small battle won.... on PubPat Kills Four Key Monsanto Patents · · Score: 1

    GM crops have the potential to cause unknown harm. As humanity (and other species) evolved eating certain foods, we have developed the ability to safely digest those foods. Horticulture takes many generations to make changes in the food we eat... until now. What happens when you manufacture a new species? Will there be unknown side affects?

    Probably. Look at Monsanto's GM corn MON863. It appears to cause kidney and liver problems. Here is a link. http://www.newstarget.com/021784.html

  4. Networking people on How Did You Become a UNIX Administrator? · · Score: 1

    For a drastic career change, you need to network amongst friends and friends of friends. My degree was in anthropology and I was mowing lawns for a living when I got my chance for a career change. A friend of a friend needed autocad work done and I had happened to know some autocad just out of playing around with computers. It was just temporary work, but I parleyed it into better and better positions going the contracter route for a couple of years.
