  1. just to point out... on US To Launch Military Orbital Spaceplane · · Score: 1

    X-37B not X-38B (there propably is a difference... whatever)

  2. Re:What? on US To Get EU Private Citizen Data · · Score: 1

    now that's a good idea. oh, and nobody said anything about travelers... "get private citizen data" not only travelers. Reminds me of the "Team America" movie - Police the world. There are a few words that come to mind to describe it, none of them acceptable here though.

  3. first to live on Flying Humans · · Score: 1

    he wouldn't be the first to live, there was a russian soldier, with more than 5000 jumps, that had a parachute failure. he suvived the jump, manouvering his body in flight.

  4. missing tag on Microsoft Working On Health Information 'Vault' System · · Score: 1

  5. here's a better pic on Teen Hacks $84 Million Porn Filter in 30 Minutes · · Score: 1
  6. broadband? on Quantum Dots Might Be Key For Teleportation · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be useful for unlimited internet connection? like, EVERYWHERE and unlimited bandwidth?

  7. Re:installers on Zero Day Hole In Google Desktop · · Score: 1

    Google's apps are making their way into more and more installers, so I think better way would be adding a switch to the installer. Like "No, I don't want anything except the main app" and that's not Irfanview author's job.

  8. Re:installers on Zero Day Hole In Google Desktop · · Score: 1

    how about when your installing it silently with switches on 100 machines? no switch for "skip google".

  9. installers on Zero Day Hole In Google Desktop · · Score: 5, Insightful

    this is even more of a problem since more and more installers like Irfanview's or Adobe's include Google Desktop (and/or toolbar) and there is no way to skip them when doing automated installs... what a sick trend.

  10. liable? on Why Are Students Liable for School Insecurity? · · Score: 1

    yes. because there's only so much we can do to secure our networks. we don't have the funding to do it properly and some things just cost money. In my workplace there is no way to secure boot options, because bios always allows damn BootMenu with just one press of a key and no password on it. Keep in mind that we are also securing your grades from deletion and you from writing all those tests again.

  11. human, ai or ui? on More Than 1500 Schools To Deploy DDR By 2010 · · Score: 1

    "They can do it on their own, and they don't have to compete with anyone else"

    and they say internet alienates people.

  12. Re:IT staff on Hi, I'm a Mac, and I'm Your Enterprise Computer · · Score: 1

    We can be driven by business needs, but still, we should choose our path of doing things. Imagine business app written by marketing dept.... kinda like the stories you read on http://worsethanfailure.com/, or worse. Oh, and outsorcing has nothing to do with it, they can ignore the business' needs just as well as we can.

  13. IT staff on Hi, I'm a Mac, and I'm Your Enterprise Computer · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Don't discount the lure of the well-worn path that draws and then traps your IT staff into familiar habits" Don't mess with your IT staff and it's paths.

  14. Why don't you on Is A Bad Attitude Damaging The IT Profession? · · Score: 1

  15. exploit on Novell Injects MS Lawsuit Exploit Into Open Office · · Score: 1
