	Sanity check: 10 dirty little secrets you should know about working in IT Quote If you are preparing for a career in IT or are new to IT, many of the "dirty little secrets" listed below may surprise you because we don't usually talk about them out loud. If you are an IT veteran, you've probably encountered most of these issues and have a few of your own to add -- and please, by all means, take a moment to add them to the discussion. Most of these secrets are aimed at network administrators, IT managers, and desktop support professionals. This list is not aimed at developers and programmers — they have their own set of additional dirty little secrets -- but some of these will apply to them as well. http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/hiner/?p=546 posted by Carol Haynes - May 08, 2008, 04:13:00 AM social bookmark this story (permalink) (read 7 comments)

	Linux Shootout: 7 Desktop Distros Compared (InformationWeek) InformationWeek reviews and compares 7 desktop distros: "We tested openSUSE, Ubuntu 8.04, PCLinuxOS, Mandriva Linux One, Fedora, SimplyMEPIS, and CentOS 5.1. All performed well, and each had at least one truly outstanding feature. Ubuntu 8.4 remains one of the best desktop distributions for many good reasons: it works with almost any hardware you throw at it, and has tons of features for both existing Linux users and prospective converts from Windows." http://www.informationwee...jhtml?articleID=207200145 The author also gave openSUSE points for ease of use on the desktop, and Mandriva kudos for ease of administration. posted by zridling - May 07, 2008, 01:56:00 PM social bookmark this story (permalink) (read 4 comments)

	Your favorite audio CD burner? I never took interest in how to burn audio CDs, because I didn't have the need. But last week a girl friend asked me to make the audio from some YouTube video files playable on her tiny ghetto blaster, so I was forced to give it a try.

	Flash Game of the Week: Armed with Wings - Beautiful Atmosphere Armed With Wings: Beautifully animated and with wonderful sense of atmosphere.  A samurai and his bird battles evil. From JayIsGames.com review: Quote At its core, Armed with Wings is an action/puzzle platformer, and no amount of glitz and glamor is going to change that. But even if you're sick to death of platformers, this game offers something special: an innovative game mechanic with polish and style. Snazzy cut scenes before and after boss fights add some great eye candy, while an evenly-progressing difficulty system keeps you from throwing in the towel. http://armorgames.com/play/1408/armed-with-wings posted by mouser - May 06, 2008, 07:52:00 PM discovered on JayIsGames social bookmark this story (permalink) (read 2 comments)
