Comment Hope this project isn't lost. (Score 1) 340

Some of our best innovations come from engineers that are driven to do something different. It usually doesn't come from a corporate cog. I just hope this Jupiter isn't lost in the space between NASA directors ears.

Submission + - Corporate Print/Copy/Scan Solutions?

Submitted by Bocaj on Monday March 31, 2008 @10:19AM

Bocaj writes: I work an office where we support about 7 multi-function copiers. They allow copying, printing, fax, scan to the network and print to fax. At least when they work. They break all the time and our support company promptly comes out and fixes it, but the downtime is still a problem. When a machine goes down, that office loses a lot of functions. I've thought about setting up a station with a PC, scanner, and a bank of printers (for redundancy and speed). Has anyone tried this? I'm ready to throw these multi-function machines in the lake.

Submission + - SCO stock plummets, the zombie destroyed (arstechnica.com)

Submitted by Bocaj on Wednesday August 15, 2007 @09:06AM

Bocaj writes: I know the SCO fiasco has been covered to death, but I've always believed that the end wouldn't come until the money was gone (it's the American Way). So, it looks like as of yesterday the coffers have dried up according to ars technica. It seems this is the end of SCO, and not just the lawsuit. My condolences to those geeks that will get laid off because of this, but I don't feel bad for the company as a whole. It was a zombie resurrected from the corpse of a once proud UNIX corp., that was bent on eating the brains of its brethren.

Submission + - Will the US have to conduct more nuclear tests?

Matthew Sparkes writes: "The US has selected the design for a controversial new nuclear warhead to replace the Cold War era weapons currently deployed in its submarines. However, critics say the existing bombs are good enough, and that developing new warheads gives entirely the wrong message at a time when the US is trying to control nuclear proliferation. Questions also remain about whether or not the new warhead will require nuclear tests."

Submission + - MySQL Cookbook, 2nd Ed. Reviewed

narramissic writes: "Written for MySQL 5.0/5.1 (but still more than adequately covering the popular MySQL 4.1), this book brings the how to's of the first version up to date and adds many more. It also covers using MySQL with Perl, PHP, Python, Java and Ruby! In fact, the variety of languages used in MySQL Cookbook is its strength as well as its weakness. While you're sure to find numerous recipes for working in whatever language you prefer, you will also find that many recipes you want to pursue will be provided in some other language. Even so, the reviewer rates this book as the most useful she's seen so far for solving problems in MySQL."

Linux Systems and the New DST 304

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday March 06, 2007 @08:58AM from the spring-forward-fall-flat dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The recent changes in the Daylight Saving Time will affect virtually all computer systems in the US one week from now. Microsoft has been busy preparing Windows users for 'Y2DST,' and all the major Linux distributions have also issued patches. How can you be sure your Linux systems are ready, and what can you do to get them ready if they're not? This how-to article at Linux-Watch answers both questions in simple language and with easy-to-follow instructions."
