I'm assuming that most people who read this live in one of those countries or unions, so unless you wanted to google exchange rate and then figure out an estimate, it would be easier for people interested in buying it. Who cares if it costs more one place or another? That sucks for you, but there's nothing you can do about it.

That would mean the only currency listed that would be useless is Franks.

Franks don't exist anymore.

Submission + - Why should I trust my network administrator? 4

Andrew writes: Slashdotters, I need guidance. I'm a manager at a startup, and decided recently to outsource to an outside IT firm to set up a network domain and file server. Trouble is, they (and all other IT companies we could find) insist on administering it all remotely. They now obviously have full access to all our data and PC's, and I'm concerned they could steal all our intellectual property, source code and customers. Am I being overly paranoid and resistant to change? Should we just trust our administrator because they have a reputation to uphold? Or should we lock them out and make them administer the network in person so we can stand behind and watch them?

Submission + - Netbook or Notebook? A Buyer's Guide (hothardware.com) 1

MojoKid writes: "The netbook and notebook market has seemingly exploded recently with hundreds of new offerings targeted at various usage models. Obviously, if you're in the market for a netbook, you have decidedly different computing needs versus someone that is looking at a desktop replacement notebook. That said, there are varying shades of gray within the different classes of machines. This netbook and notebook buyer's guide at HotHardware explains exactly what to look for when shopping for your next portable PC. After all, it's much easier to whittle things down and settle on a machine when you know precisely what you're after (and what to avoid like the plague). For example, how many flavors of Intel's Atom processor are there? Core 2 Duo, Celeron? Integrated or discrete graphics? You get the idea."

Submission + - Open Source Music Writer?

Tybalt_Capulet writes: Recently I've been thinking about how I want to hear particular instruments mixed that wouldn't be, such as a didgeridoo or a sitar combined with a traditional orchestra, and I figured that there isn't anything like that out there. I searched Google for a program that would allow me to write such a song to no avail, unless of course I violate the law and illegally download a program with that ability, which I generally don't want to do. Being a big fan of open-source, I'm wondering if there are any programs that would allow me to compose music like I would in say, fruity-loop studios that are open source?

When I used to play RTS games all the time I used to have books on war by me.

I used to apply Sun Tzu's Art of War to Warcraft 3, and it worked.

In my best win, I had lost a number of smaller battles but I had a spy (I was undead) watching their army. I then began to amass aboms.

I took the rest of my army, which was roughly the same number of units as I had Aboms, but with necromancers with all of the crap for skeletons, and with all of the upgrades for melee units. I sent a couple of ghouls to get them to attack me, and they did. While they were doing that I led my aboms to begin destroying their side-base. They then quit.
