  1. And this is proff on Microsoft Code in Every HD-DVD Player · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    beyond a shadow of a doubt that TV rots your brain, HDTV will just do it faster!!

  2. Not fully understanding on Correlation Between Stress and Technology? · · Score: 1

    what you are asked to install,fix, or implement.

    There have been a few times were I have been shipped out to no where with limited resources/budget and asked to install some piece of equipment I have never seen before.

    The problem as I see it is I'm good at installing tech and am a bit of a perfectionist. So when handed some new widget by those dough brained sales people or customers who look at you like your some kind of computer genius it causes STRESS.

    Then you get lost at some point which drives up the stress which makes you screw up which drives up the stress etc, etc. In the end I have found you save far more time by stepping away for 15-30 minutes. Use that time to get ahold of the products support people HAHAHA. More Stress.

  3. Welcome to New Mexico, please leave common on An Ignition Interlock In Every Car? · · Score: 1

    sense and personal responsibilty at the border!!

    Maybe a 30 day waiting period on booze and any food produce that can be destill? Better add perscription medication to that to.

  6. We sell software on Worried about Digital Evidence Tampering? · · Score: 3, Informative

    at BrightNoise Inc that works with IP based cameras and video "servers" to stream images and detect motion, alarms, etc in sensitive areas . One of the biggest concerns I have had is tampering with jpegs or avi files exported from these softwares. AFAIK none has been challenged in a court of law here in the states, but we have had several schools and companies use it as proof of guilt for thieving and extortion!! The approach Milestone took was to make it exceedingly difficult to tamper with the original recording but allow exports. I train users to immediatly remove the original drives or enter server when there is an event of serious enough magnitude, lets face it whats a few thousand dollars when your talking about firing someone or worse? Personally I would like to see water marks or some embedded checksum in the images.

    Losing mindstorm sucks but all the rest of that crap, movie placement &^!@# has to go.
    Give us more sets of building pieces at a reasonable price and maybe come out with advanced builder pieces. BTW my little ones never did anything with the big blocks but chew on them, now that they are older they love my lego blocks from 1970!!!

    ... out of money :-( out of luck. So I quit on Monday. Wicked headache till this morning, now its just a gentle stabbing pain.

  12. Slanderous conduct? on Replaced by Outsourcing -- What's a Geek to Do? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Could being labeled a threat, which then causes you to lose your only source of income, be actionable?

    Seems to me that if my employer was happy with my performance before the audit and I truly was no risk, I'd get a lawyer and sue both the company and the third party.

    I had something similar happen to me back in the 80's and have regretted not taking action against what turn out to be a bunch of bastards
