Am I the only one that checks it about 20 times a day and reads every article?

Today, someone wrote an article dealing with Linux (samba) networking issues with XP machines on the same network. He could not get it working so he gave up and wrote an article. So I emailed him.

I enjoy it very much so. Its out of the UK.

It's good, but I still prefer El Reg:

Samba was (for me) a bit complicated. I got it running in plain vanilla format on my Red Hat machines, got it running after a fashion in SuSE, and didn't have to do much with Ubuntu.

Still, Samba ranges from intractible for most users at one end, to only about twice as difficult as Windows to Windows at the other end. It has never been patently easy to fully share machines in a secure and authenticated fashion, but Samba has never made the job easier.

A techie co-worker forces me to theinquirer nearly every day to read the same story about an ATI R600 video card. This stuff is SO exciting...

I read the Enquirer every day, does that count?

(By the way, my mom was the three headed alien that was on last weeks cover)

Inquiring minds who want to know. Who else?

I prefer Weekly World News

OK, sometimes I read the Inquirer while waiting in the check out lane and put it back at the last moment.
Does that count as theft of Intellectual Nonsense?

I was being flippant above, but The Inquirer, and the National Enquirer are quite different beasts.

[National Enquirer being the source of "Enquiring Minds Want to Know".]

Wikipedia wrote:The National Enquirer (also commonly known as The Enquirer) is a national American supermarket tabloid published by American Media Inc (AMI). The paper is known for its articles focusing on celebrities. It makes no secret of the fact that it will pay sources for information, a practice officially frowned upon by the mainstream press. It has now dropped its famous catchphrase, "Enquiring minds want to know."
