Last night, I sent an email message to the company asking how long the 40% discount offer will last.-cyberdiva (May 02, 2011, 03:14 PM)
Does this differ significantly from Sobell's other distro-specific admin books? Specifically, I had (probably still have somewhere) one of the "Practical Guide to Ubuntu Linux" editions.-mwb1100 (April 29, 2011, 02:03 PM)
Hell, I wish I could get more spam that said: "Hay man, nice job, keep up the good work!".
But oh no, I just get the spam that says I need:

But my gut tells me that there is a real "cost" to living in an age where so much effort is being put into disguising the real costs of the things we consume. And a penalty we are going to pay for accepting it as just the way things are done.-mouser (April 22, 2011, 08:34 PM)

Only in retrospect. That reprimand set the tone for the rest of my tenure with that company. I got passed over for a promotion twice because of it.
Moral: Next time you think of something really clever to pull at work: Don't.-40hz (April 18, 2011, 09:22 PM)
Reminds me about work I did THIS WEEK that is just making that a reality.-Renegade (April 13, 2011, 11:38 AM)
My only regret is that Alan Turing isn't alive today as he proved mathematically that all computers (however large and complex) are all functionally equivalent to a "Turing Machine". If he had patented it and sued MS and Apple tactics he would now wipe the flaw with all computer manufacturers.
Holy christmas, Carol...

"Microsoft filed a legal brief late today arguing that the court shouldn't require it to offer "clear and convincing evidence" to overcome the traditional presumption that patents approved by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office are valid."-zridling (April 08, 2011, 04:04 AM)

Go try this... create a windows\sl directory then run spyware doctor or vipre... run a scan.. they will report you are infected with the same keylogger... they are simply triggering on the existance of an "sl" directory and the author of original post didn't do ANY research on this.. he just assumed Spyware Dr. was correct and then wrote about it.
The statements that Samsung installs keylogger on R525 and R540 laptop computers are false.
Our findings indicate that the person mentioned in the article used a security program called VIPRE that mistook a folder created by Microsoft’s Live Application for a key logging software, during a virus scan.
it is one of those online tools of which I spoke. While that is usually acceptable for me, this young couple is on a data-capped connection, so online services are, for the most part, anathema to them.-barney (March 30, 2011, 10:23 AM)
Registered Ashampoo customers can right now have PowerArchiver 2010 Pro (launched December 13, 2010) for merely $8, normal price $(35 ÷25%)-Curt (March 22, 2011, 03:25 PM)
Bummer, I didn't see this until now.-Deozaan (March 23, 2011, 08:15 AM)
Here's a twist...
You're standing around somewhere when someone nearby snaps a picture of some of their friends and you're in the background doing something. You do not own the copyright in the image... Now suppose the composition has some sort of unique quality like being funny or whatever, and you play a significant role in that. It goes viral or is used commercially.
Is that a problem?-Renegade (March 21, 2011, 01:05 AM)
I got there as the interviewer was leaving the office. So we went down the pub, got hammered and I started the following Monday.-timns (March 10, 2011, 04:13 PM)
