I think theres still a market for two-way pagers. Solves so many issues.
Company doesnt incur a huge cost; sets a barrier to help encourage work-life balance.

What makes it a better value over SMS?

And are today's two-way pagers nothing more than text-capable phones minus the phone part?

they were called sidekick, and were aquired by microsoft (and discarded like webos) a while ago.

If its hard to use, it's a barrier to being a pest on your employees.

Subject: Linux livecd with different virusremovers

I just found out that TRK3.4 fails totally in the virus check department at the moment. I used to use it for offline removal of virii on our windows desktops, now I need a replacement. Any recommendations? bitdefender, f-prot and vexira would be nice.

Hey, does anyone know whether run-parts(8) will execute binaries, or does it require scripts?

[#] Fri Sep 23 2011 10:34:16 EDT from Ford II @ Uncensored

never tried it, dunno.

I just found out you can run screen in screen. How cool is that.

"Yo dawg, I heard you like screens so I put a virtual console in your virtual console..."

I have always avoided doing that because .... if you ^A C for instance, which screen session takes it?

The outermost one. So if you wnat to get the inner one, you have to ^A A C.
you get used to it fairly quickly.

So some tab in my firefox (4) is leaking memory, I wake up to find my swap spinning like mad.
So I say, let's be stupid and upgrade to 7, I'm THREE MAJOR VERSION BEHIND!
I find the stable software souce channel and alas they only make builds for 11.04 and I'm still running ubuntu 10.10 because Irefuse to upgrade my machine for no reason and then spend days unbreaking everything the upgrade is going to break.
So I can't get the new firefox.
This whole thing is so broken.

I am using 10.4.3(LTS) because I don't feel the need to have the latest and greatest.

I use this PPA for Firefox:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu

and this for Thunderbird:
http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/thunderbird-stable/ubuntu

I do have the latest and greatest Firefox and Thunderbird.... only because now with the new crazy number system as soon as the newest version is released, the last version is no longer supported. ugh.

It seems as if they are still pushing out 3.6.x updates, my laptop still is on that version, since one webdesign plugin is so farkin old it won't work with anything else.

yeah I do that and my only option is to remove, it says nothing about upgrading.

and why the fuck can't you download adobe flash as a plugin/addon like any other addon.

[#] Thu Oct 06 2011 10:58:50 EDT from IGnatius T Foobar @ Uncensored

Because they've got it wrapped up inside a bunch of other stuff to make it not crash your browser. The package manager can more reliably install Flash than you can do it by hand. Trust me on this one.

[#] Thu Oct 06 2011 17:21:11 EDT from Ford II @ Uncensored

but my package manager doesn't give me the option to install firefox 7 let alone flash for it.

Since our friends at Canonical have decided that Unity will be the user interface for Ubuntu, and those of us who want to continue to operate real computers all seem to be switching to Xfce (xubuntu-desktop) I am now wondering whether there is any reason to continue using Ubuntu instead of just stock Debian.

So far the only reason I'm coming up with (and it's a good one) is that Ubuntu still makes it easier to automatically download and install those various "non-free" bits (codecs, drivers, etc) that the GNUoids would tell us that we must simply Not Use.

Am I missing anything?
