  1. Re:Same as always on Cameras Help Cops Catch a Killer · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Quotes are nothing but inspiration for the uninspired.
    - Richard Kemph

    Do not underestimate the power of the dark side of famous quotes.
    - Bill Austin

    No doubt one may quote history to support any cause, as the devil quotes scripture.
    - Learned Hand

    I like this whole quote thing!

  2. Re:How low can they go? on RIAA Subpoenas Neighbor's Son, Calls His Employer · · Score: 1

    I am not sure I understand. The RIAA, a "multi-billion dollar cartel", is "suing unemployed people, disabled people, housewives, single mothers, home healthcare aids". What part of this is so horrible? If the unemployed, disabled, housewives, single parents and home healthcare aids (aides?) are stealing or performing some illegal action, why should the RIAA look the other way? Is this similar to the whole argument about how America's Rich should be taxed at a higher percentage then those with less money simply because 'they can afford it'? Why not make the law and taxes equal for everyone?

    Sir Paul has to pay alimony somehow...

  4. Re:It is all part of the job on Sys-Admins Reading the Bosses Mail? · · Score: 1

    Sometimes I think computer security is similar to the new Allstate Insurance advertisments on television. They talk about all the new safety features automobile manufacturer's are using, then they say everything is safer except for the driver.

    You can implement all kinds of policies and procedures, but if the CxO doesn't know how to review logs to see who has accessed the sensitive emails, who is at fault?

  5. Re:Que: Your parents. on Google Subpoenas Microsoft & Yahoo · · Score: 1

    When my parents asked me the "If everyone jumped off a cliff, would you?" question, I would always answer:

    Yes, because if everyone was jumping off a cliff, I would assume there was good reason to do so.

  6. Re:Any detective series on 10 Terrible Portrayals of Technology in Film · · Score: 1

    If the only way you can get your message across is by treating the viewers like they are complete idiots and/or have never used a computer before, perhaps you should rethink the scene. Obviously you have never worked a helpdesk...
