  1. really on US Leads the World In Malware Creation · · Score: 0, Troll

    How can you be sure who makes the most malware. People arent exactly admitting to it.

  2. different kinds of users on Microsoft Segments Linux "Personas" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Like M$ has 90% of the desktop I would think 90% of linux users are "advanced" computer users.

  3. why on A Mozilla Desktop Environment? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What are the goals? How will it be different? Or are they doing it just to do it?

  4. see on Ian Murdock Joins Sun · · Score: 1

    I knew chaos theory had a future in computers.

  5. hmm on SpaceX to Attempt Launch of Falcon 1 Today · · Score: 1

    FTA: After the upcoming demonstration flight, Falcon 1 is scheduled to launch a satellite for the US Navy Research Laboratory

    Should the US government be using private launch vehicles? Might be a good way to jump start private investment though.

  6. wow on Companies Asked to Donate Unused Patents · · Score: 1

    Now you too can sue for a living.

  7. when on P2P File Sharing Ruining Physical Piracy Business · · Score: 5, Funny

    When will people learn that piracy takes money from the pockets of hard working people like Tony?

  8. great idea on More Videogames, Fewer Books at Some Schools? · · Score: 1

    If this works these teachers might be out of a job. Hey if your class is learning using some software program why can't you handle 50 students instead of 25?

  9. well on April to See Month of MySpace Bugs · · Score: 1

    Just goes to show you once software has enough of a user base to make it profitable to exploit bugs, people will start finding them.

  10. statistics on "Market Share" "Installed Base" and Consumer Electronics · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Statistics can make a lot of things seem different than they are. For instance, someone is killed by a falling coconut every 2 days. So you should put helmets on your kids and keep them indoors.

  11. mortality on Modern Technology Reveals Mummy's Past · · Score: 1

    I assume everyone died a lot more often back then. What was the life expectancy? 30?

  12. good and bad on Peer to Peer Networking for Road Traffic · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Could prevent pileups at the least. Of course anyone with such a system could potentially be tracked.

  13. france on Wireless Routers for Congested Areas? · · Score: 1

    When you set up some routers that are also sold in other countries it will ask you what country you are in. This is because some countries allow an extra channel or two. You should be able to find an empty channel. Oh this is illegal, so dont blame me if the FCC comes a knockin.

  14. right on Getting Your Government Files Via the FOIA · · Score: 1

    Like they are going to tell you if they have any real interesting stuff on you.

  15. well on CPR Not as Effective as Chest Compressions Alone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What if one person gave chest compressions while another gave mouth to mouth.

  16. Re:Exercise in Futility on The Student vs Hacker Security Showdown Rematch · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Psh, just disconnect from the wan problem solved.

  17. well on How to Stop the Dilbertization of IT? · · Score: 5, Funny

    If your fighting fires everyday maybe its time to start water cooling.

  18. hollywood on Global Warming Endangered by Hot Air? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is Hollywood to blame? Only the day after tomorrow will tell.

  19. FT on Victims Fight Back Against DMCA Abuse · · Score: 1

    Who found these 100,000 videos? Do they have people watching videos on youtube full time?

  20. security on The Digital Bedouins and the Backpack Office · · Score: 1

    Just watch out for people sniffing your traffic on those unsecured Wi-fi connections.

  21. UWE on Game/Movie Comparisons Raise Art Question Again · · Score: 4, Funny

    Instead of using "game-like" in a deragatory manner you could say "Uwe Boll-Like"

  22. what do they save on Do You Allow Webmail Use on Your Network? · · Score: 1

    don't know of any security related bad press for Yahoo or Google.

    Google is suspected of saving and data mining users gmail. It may sound paranoid, but if you are worried about corporate info/secrets being leaked, it might be wise to avoid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gmail#Criticisms

  23. SPAM on Blogger System Sites Used for Phishing · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not to mention blogs set up just to be filled with spam. Google must give these popular sites some leeway, before delisting them.

  24. gtaIV on Take Two Files Suit Against Jack Thompson · · Score: 5, Funny

    They should make Jack Thompson a character in GTA IV. Maybe a child rapist you must beat to death with the limbs of dead hookers.

  25. standard answer on Microsoft Admits to Serious Problems with OneCare · · Score: 1

    While Exchange 2007 doesn't cause issues, users with older versions may see their email quarantined as a matter of course.

    It wouldn't be a problem if you just upgraded...
