I think there is still a huge install base of Windows machines in POS environments, especially in small to medium businesses. In most of those settings (read: no need for remote access) it is per se not worse than deploying Linux unless you

Grml is another Debian based Linux distro for rescue scenarios like this. The small version weighs in a little more at 100MB versus PLoP's 62MB though. If your deployment environment doesn't offer NFS/SMB/CIFS you can fetch your images via

Exactly what I am thinking. There is so much inefficiency involved when dealing with money and in fact much of bureaucracy. My bank offers the same "services" now for almost ten years. It always feels like the 90s all over again when I have

I read it as trying to be honest which in my book is always a good basis for a potential paradigm shift. Financial world desperately needs to be fixed anyhow - I am happy to hear about folks who accept that challenge.

If I were working at Facebook this would be the time I would quit. In these times of almost endless opportunities not being able to be working socially responsible while still creating value plus being my own woman/man seems somehow anach

With all due respect but I would encourage you to try exactly this with a recent version of a major distribution like ubuntu. It is so much easier for non technical people to install applications with all those comfortable package managemen

In general it is transition time in business world. I doubt that future ventures will be able to “successfully” act in a similar way. The only reason Apple is welcomed/accepted to do so by many (developers and users) is the excellence in

I like the term "Informatics" pretty much describes what is the main topic in CS - so just being an Information Engineer/Artist is fine with me.

Yeah but I have the bad feeling that these glorious times are over - to me this is universal short sightedness. If the US want to stay #1 they need radical change especially in that regard. It might be hard to digest when you see the illusi

In my book you are living the dream man - doing what you love and not having to worry about paying the bills. Stupid analogy: having your own precious Q3 server successfully running with a broadband connection back in the day and then selli

I am a dropout myself and I am doing OK for the moment but I still would propose to question your own readyness to being so judgemental. I think of education being something highly individual and complex (e.g. I regard my time at university

This might seem a little polemic - and it is - but I have been wishing Flash a quick death for years now. I simply hate it. No justification of existence for uncaring companies like that in the web of the year 2010. We don't need Flash!

This is really funny maybe U.S. infrastructure decision makers should buy european technology, because a simple combination of sensors(temperature and or light)/heating coils would solve all of these problems pretty easily.

This is exactly what I am thinking. The problem with it is that I am by far not fast or concentrated enough for doing this parallel to my job. I still wonder if I ever will be able to speed read. Is there a special technique or habit you ha

It's a good thing - like the elder brothers taking care of their younger siblings. If one does take the effort all of the elders should do it - IMHO it's a position of consistency. We don't talk about the younger ones being lazy or such, ju

Uninteresting! Financially oriented issues like these don't bother me at all. Who needs so much money these days when everything (services, hard- and software) is so damn cheap. I don't need anybody investing in our venture. I've got a part
