Slashdot
Learning to Say No in the Workplace?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/28/015206

Ummagumma asks: "I'm trying to find out how those of you who work in the IT service industry, tell customers 'no', when the requests are unreasonable for whatever reason. There is a culture here of 'piling-on' work with regards to IT - and, unfortunately, I've never learned the proper way to tell people 'no'. It may sound simple, but in this economy, where jobs are tough to come by, I don't want to be seen as the impediment to getting things done Any suggestions on telling people that their work request can wait? Especially in a way that won't jeopardize my future here? I've searched the web, but most of the sites that supposedly have information of this type just want you to sign up for their seminars. I'm looking for actual, real-world experiences, and how the people of Slashdot deal with this issue on a day-to-day basis."

walk-around, interactive animatronic character, Lucky the dinosaur, is now [1]strolling around Disney's California Adventure, but will probably move to Disney's Animal Kingdom in the coming weeks. It kinda walks on two legs, just as the rumors promised, but actually pulls a cart for additional balance (and to hide the computers). Videos can be found on the link above. More photos, and a video of Lucky blowing his nose [2]here."

OpenLindows.com. The name alone intrigued me.

This is a [1]report on what I found, and perhaps even more importantly, what I didn't."

Further Selections From the Mixed-Up SCO Files http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/27/1411232

[0]grahamlee writes "It may be a case of 'do as we say, not as we do'
over at the Santa Cruz Operation. The [1]Netcraft statistics meter says that for the last year, SCO's web site has been served by [2]Apache on Linux. Indeed, it's been more than a year since the site was ever served from a SCO Unix machine. So what is the possible reason for this? Your humble author suggests that SCO found themselves requiring a multithreaded web server, and as SCO UNIX is based on an ancient version of [3]The UNIX spec it just couldn't cope ;-)." Read on for one of the strangest-yet turns to the SCO story, and several merely insipid ones.

Teach Yourself AppleScript in 24 Hours
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/27/162210

[0]honestpuck contributes this review of Sams Publishing's Teach
Yourself AppleScript in 24 Hours, writing "The market for books on AppleScript cannot be a large one, since there never seem to be many volumes in it; usually only one at a time is up to date and worth the money. Now that O'Reilly's AppleScript In A Nutshell is showing its age (and wasn't that great in the first place), and Danny Goodman's book is even older, I was pleased to hear that this volume had come along." Read on for honestpucks' mixed impressions of the book. Links
