  1. Re:Quickest idea on How Do You Advocate Linux in 5 Minutes? · · Score: 0

    Download the md5sum file and check the download is valid, you could also try burning the image at a slower speed - this can help (depends on your burner)

    good luck

  2. Re:Convenience on At Least 25 Million Americans Pirate Movies · · Score: 0

    Lord of the Rings was one of those movies which is, at least in theater release, safer from being competed with by piracy. Big epics like that call for big screens, not 15 inch LCD with terrible pixelation.

    Why watch the movie on your pc, it's farily easy to display it through your tv (assuming you have one) - heck, you can even buy off the shelf in pc world boxes that'll do it.

    why do people want to watch movies / dvd's etc on their pc monitors, monitors and the seating enviornment at the desk where your pc is just isn't the right place to sit back with beer / drugs / whatever, and watch a movie.

  3. Re:18%? on At Least 25 Million Americans Pirate Movies · · Score: 0

    The US population is roughly 300MM. 18% of this is 54 million people. There's no way that there are 54 million people actively downloading 4GB movie files...

    I think you don't - 700MB 1 CD, 1.4G 2 CD movies.... where did you get 4GB from?

  4. x64_86 on x86 Linux Flash Player 9 is Final · · Score: 0

    Hopefully they will create a x64_86 too - then I'll be really happy!

    If there is fraud, the bank refunds your money.

    It can take a while though, my debit card got cloned - took 8 weeks before I got my money back, always try to use my credit card now, as if thats cloned I'm not out of pocket...

    Vista fails

  7. Re:Yes it is ready for its coronation. on Is Ubuntu a Serious Desktop Contender? · · Score: 1

    Depending on how drastic the change to Vista turns out to be, I might get her to switch next time she needs a new computer, but I'm somewhat doubtful on that. Just install Ubuntu and tell your Mum its vista - everyone will be happy!
  8. enviroments on Who Owns Deployments - Dev or IT? · · Score: 1

    This is why you should have at least 3 enviroments, dev, uat, prod (or similar) the dev's can carryout the promotion between dev and uat and in doing so iron out any bugs with their code / the promotion process. The entire promotion to production should be fully handed over to the production / IT team. At the end of the day you dont want developers anywhere near the production system.
