Comment If you got money - there is HP UCMDB DDMA (Score 1) 165

Question is how rich is your organization? There are corporate tools like HP uCMDB DDMA that keep the configuration database updated, detect changes, scan your networks etc... If you do not have money - look for Configuration Management tools - this is what you are looking for. If you totally lack money - use something like SVN/git etc.

Comment It already ruined his research ... (Score 1) 1034

Pretty pathetic article... prof. Zimbardo goes for sensation instead of science... Just like popular culture starlets... Looks like the first victim of porn and video games is quality of research of prof. Zimbardo... I prefer videogames and porn to drugs and promiscuity of the 70s... not mentioning gas chambers and mass rapes of the 40s ..... I could similarly argue that TV was killing socialization. Or before TV - movies (no need to talk to a girl - just eat popcorn).

So he will not get his $20... This means now a game will cost him $50 instead of $30... so instead of 5 games he will buy 3 ... But the poster above will not buy used games so he will not buy a new console so he will not buy new games either! PS will go down even faster in the result... Presure from smartphones and tablets is already drowning them... this will be one more stone in their pocket

Comment Use extensions and gnome-tweak tool (Score 1) 147

Use extensions and gnome-tweak tool - probably you can fix your problems with the right extension.

Initially I was also rejected by GNOME 3 but now after adding a few extensions I just love it and it is the best desktop I ever used.
I love win key and Alt-~

dock@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org
alternative-status-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org
drive-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org
apps-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org
places-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org
Break_Dynamic_Workspaces@rmy.pobox.com
remove-accessibility-icon@martin-weusten.de

Also hacking is relatively simple javascript - I hacked so my dock is always between my screens (I have monitor on the left at work and on the right at home).
