Another Google App down the drain. What is it like 1 in 50 do well?

If it wasn't for Google Reader, GMail and Google Docs (Which they bought) I would not use anything of Google's.

Flipping the Linux switch: Control freaks, meet KDE Kiosk (Download Squad)

Apr 4th 2008 3:32PM Very good article. I like the fact that this shows an added benifit for using Linux. Also we are going to be replacing our thin clients at my Library and I have been requesting that we use Shuttle KPCs with a locked down Linux.

Ubuntu Hardy: The latest and greatest or a total mess? (Download Squad)

Apr 3rd 2008 1:48PM Easiest Linux? I would have to say PCLinuxOS is by far a much easier Linux Distro for Window users. My wife, 13 and 15 year olds didn't even notice a difference.

I also have had several students at the college I work at come to me frustrated with Ubunto and once they switched to PCLinuxOS they haven't had a "Linux" issue.

Flipping the Linux switch: The anti-virus question (Download Squad)

Feb 26th 2008 12:28AM I use Linux AV on Live CDs like Trinity Rescue. This is my main way of clearing up a Windows Computer. The live CD runs in Memory while it updates the definitions of the AV and Anti-Malware. It scans it and there is no reason to mess with System Restore or that the little buggers are working inside of the Linux operating system since its a CD :)

I have to say this is my common practice with my family and friends computers. 5 Minutes plugging in an ethernet cable and boot from a CD and press one key to scan all drives. I then come back a few hours later and see what eas found and placed in a .tar :)

Nov 16th 2007 8:35PM 7 is a good score from 1up. There are many 7 games that I loved. Titan Quest was a great game and was a ton of fun but I would have given it a 7.

Oct 1st 2007 11:45AM All I ask is for support of foot notes! Well that an Zotero!!! I have to use Turrabian format for my papers and no one supports footnotes (Well I haven't check in the last 4 months.
