  1. Something to consider... on Cell Phone Number Portability Finally A Reality? · · Score: 1

    You could end up fooled : most providers charge more when you call other networks. Be sure to ask which networks your closest friends belong to. Having the same network number (e.g. +32 485 ...) doesn't mean that you belong to the same provider anymore.

    Cheers.

  2. As a side note... on Sony's Cashless Smart Card Catching on in Japan · · Score: 1

    ... Japan is not widely known for its high levels of crime. Therefore, such a solution can only be a boon.

    Also, Proton cards (Belgium) can only store up to 500. It's an excellent idea - more and more old people here use it.

  3. 3 minutes to Slashdot effect on The Incredible Invisible Case · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Damn, it went down while I was browsing it. Three minutes. There should be a poll : how long before a site is Slashdotted after a post? I hope Taco warns those webmasters in advance. I can see them freak out already.

  4. Easy Openmail Configuration : maybe someday? on HP's OpenMail: I'm Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    FYI, about a year ago I posted an entry in Webmin's wishlist about an easy HP OpenMail configuration module. Sam Przyswa started to code about a month after. I kept in touch with him for a while, but now I have no news.

    I believe an easy configuration could make network admins interested in the product, which I am sure could easily replace costly Exchange Servers in Small/Medium Enterprises. Many IT managers I know don't want to hear about OpenMail because they would have to cope with Unix command line and read new documentation. Really, this would change if OpenMail could be easily set up.

    It's too bad I can't get in touch with Sam again, I just hope that some kind spirit would help in developing such a useful Webmin module...

    Cheers people.

  5. Re:Remember the past on U.S. Attack -- More Updates · · Score: 1

    Well... I don't know. I read lots of powerful words. "Cowardly", "civilian targets", "horrific death toll", "scandalous", "caught unaware"... and all I can think of is Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Remember the past, eh? Cheers mate.

  6. Re:Overseas on Will Americans Have Trouble Finding IT Jobs, Overseas? · · Score: 1

    I'd say this is partly true. ISPs are looking for high-level people at all times, and we have a lot of american guys and girls working as techies and coders here at Skynet (Belgium).

    Maybe other countries are not that friendly, but I can tell you that Belgium, being the country it is (three national languages, 90% of the city population speaks english), doesn't complicate foreigner's lives.

    I think it's worth giving it a try.

  7. RHCE on Linux Certification Roundup · · Score: 1

    I'd like to comment about mr. Jeff Dean's article about RHCE certification, mainly by saying that printer and Windows stations availability for tests depends on the site you are taking your course.

    Personnally, I passed my certification in Nieuwegein, Netherlands, with Global Knowledge, and all we needed to test lpr and Samba was there.

    I think that without test platforms, not only the test would be harder, but the knowledge acquired would be hypothetical and therefore unreliable.

    Cheers.
