  1. Re:The meaning of the article is unclear on Red Hat Returns To the Linux Desktop · · Score: 0

    I agree. As I was stating above.. "You can't forget that even though you're centralizing the entirety of the software suite, we then fall into a issue of having developer platform utilities side by side with the front desk secretary. I agree that it reduces cost but you have to take affirmative action towards the security aspect, if not you'll soon see serious repercussions." This is a great technology but we have to find a middle ground to stand on before "releasing the hounds"..

  2. Re:Cost-Performance Utopia on Red Hat Returns To the Linux Desktop · · Score: 0

    Right, I misspoke. Thanks for the correction. I agree with the fact of centralizing the software suite to reduce cost in business practices. I agree streamlining apps is the way to go, however there are going to be downsides to this as well. You can't forget that even though you're centralizing the entirety of the software suite, we then fall into a issue of having developer platform utilities side by side with the front desk secretary. I agree that it reduces cost but you have to take affirmative action towards the security aspect, if not you'll soon see serious repercussions.

    In other words instead of going out and purchasing, let's say, a Xen license to run a cluster of VMs (as my company does). They're pushing to trump the VM industry with their own software. How this differs from the rest? I haven't the slightest clue. I honestly don't think it's even worth looking into. All they can say is the the VM Manager will reduce your budget to a fraction of what it is with the competitor, but isn't that the whole point of capitalizing on technology????

  4. Treat Your Data Like Ice Cream.. on Oracle Adds Data-integrity Code To Linux Kernel · · Score: 0

    Does one OR two layers make you feel more confident?.. Why not put more effort in back checking I/O operations rather than adding more data to the stream? Is this a band aid fix? Apparently not in the eyes of Oracle..

  5. Re:IT'S ABOUT TIME on World's First Custom Firmware For Wii Released · · Score: 0

    Are you kidding me? Yes, it was a joke but in all fairness you can't possible believe that Nintendo would condone the use of the equipment where by allowing "writeable DVDs to be read in emulators" made available by a homebrew IOS changes?? Seriously that's anticipating piracy, ANYONE can figure that out.

  6. IT'S ABOUT TIME on World's First Custom Firmware For Wii Released · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Can't believe this is finally happened! I wonder how long it will take Nintendo to retaliate and apply a patch. What does it normally cost to get out of jail with that above your head?

  7. oui.. on Next Prince of Persia Game Promises Fresh Start · · Score: 1

    Is recycling the same title over and over again supposed to help our environment? Wouldn't it be nicer to start by using the same engine and begin with a new storyline and character creation? Is it THAT difficult to start a game concept? Here's a start.. 1 Man + 1 Sword + Conflict = (INSERT CATCHY TITLE HERE) Isn't the title used as a tool to intrigue audiences, not bore them to death? Someone hit me with a hammer...

  8. A Hoax?? on Jack Thompson's Letter To Take-Two Exec's Mother · · Score: 1

    Oh God, someone please give me his email!! You know, I caught this letter and read it prior to seeing the article on SD and I have to say, I really thought it was a hoax, maybe some masked wannabe "anti-violent-video-games-hater". But oh no?! I was really, really wrong. How can constant insult after insult really bring down the empire of best sellers? Maybe he should play "Bully", it might offset his psychopathic mood a tad bit...

  9. okay kids... on Miyamoto Gives Advice to Game Design Hopefuls · · Score: 1

    Go run and play with your friends. That'll teach you how to program... I spent the past 10 years programming, you can't say you can learn what I've learned by hanging out with your friends and going to college. It's called experience.

  10. No kidding?! on The Week of Oracle Database Bugs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Bugs specific to security? There are still several exploits concerning the metadata itself. And on top of that, Secunia has multiple cases of vulnerabilities concerning all versions of the Oracle Database. All the way from Database Restriction Bypassing to boundary errors leading to buffer overflows by user initiated malicious attacks. Try harder Oracle.. try harder. Anthony
