Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

Too late to save him from death after he finally turned back to the light side. SEE! There was still good in him!

they have solutions???? damn i wish some of the places i go that have novell would look into that.. all i see is something you install and nothing works.. it isn't that it is broken .. it's just does nothing.. nothing at all..

It's unclear if Mantel's resignation is related to the restructuring.

Who is it unclear to? And what are they smoking?

When we took away his stapler. That just pissed him off.

I like the Polish too, but I'm not sure what they have to do with KDE in SuSE. Maybe if you were telling a lightbulb replacing joke it would be relevent that you like the Polish, but not here.

I'm gonna have to drive by the Weinerschnizel on the way home now, and get a Polish sandwich. Or maybe just some mini corn dogs. Yeah, I think I'll get mini corn dogs. I like the corn dogs *and* the Polish.

The guy probably heard a few of these lines before throwing in the towel.

1. Bring that point up at the next meeting.
2. Check with person X to okay Y.
3. Find out when person Z's subordinate has the time to do that task.
4. I know you preferred Option A but the company is doing Option B.
5. Fill out that form and give it to accounting and wait 30 days to get reimbursed.
7. The Board has decided to go a diffferent direction.
8. Let me run that by person A before doing anything.
9. Send me an email about it to remind me....

There's a bunch more probably much funnier too. Join in and add a few!

heh heh. insightful. one almost feels sentient.

Let's touch base on that!

10. I think we need to establish a committee to deal with that.
11. Is this initiative compatible with our Mission Statement?
12. Can we proactively leverage vertical syergies to deliver five-nines reliability?
13. We need a subcommittee to work on that aspect of your plan.
14. Now that you've written all that code, we're changing the design specs on you.
15. ...again.
16. If there's such a thing as a sub-subcommittee, we'll be needing one of those.
17. We need a cross-departmental task force to get a wider perspective on things.
18. The task force needs to divide itself into committees along departmental lines.
19. We need to make everything top priority!
20. ???
21. PROFIT!

So long and thanks for all the SuSE!

(Apologies to both NOFX and the late Douglas Adams)

1 down, 599 to go!

oh i have seen plenty of good set up netware servers.. my personal favorite is

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/04/12/missing_no vell_server_discovered_after/ [theregister.co.uk]

(a friend of mine was an admin up there when it happened.)

on the other hand.. i have seen horridly setup stuff.. and the client computers always having issues.. my favorite is watching network packets and seeing printer discovery packets from a school network in greensboro in a school network in wilmington..

for some reason i wish that was posted on the front page as a link.. just so we could slashdot it.

In all seriousness, is that not the point of Slashdot?

> What is the "too late for me" in reference to?

Its, umm, Bladerunner. Right before he left Novell he reportedly also said, "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."

Dramatic fellow. Maybe he should be an actor.

First I see circletimessquare posting on Slashdot, and now K5ARP. WTF!? Apple goes Intel, Pink Floyd reunited, Sarge is released... K5 becomes the "other site"? Is the world truly coming to an end?
