  1. Re:basic security becomes an up-sell feature in cl on Ask Slashdot: What Could Go Wrong In Tech That Hasn't Already Gone Wrong? · · Score: 2

    It makes some sense for Salesforce to charge extra - because their platform is on the Oracle database. And the Oracle version that supports encryption at rest is more expensive - so they are passing along the extra cost to their customers. Don't blame Salesforce - blame Oracle !

  2. Card Security Codes? on Acer Suffers Data Breach Through Online Store (itproportal.com) · · Score: 1

    Those should not have been stored on their system at all. It is against the agreement with the CC companies.

  3. Re:pdf.js on Ask Slashdot: Best PDF Handling Library? · · Score: 3, Informative

    No...it does not simulate clicking. It uses the underlying COM representation to perform its functions. That said, it does not work well in a multi-threaded environment, nor where you can't setup user (e.g. restricted web server credentials). So you either have to impersonate or use COM+ configuration to run the office tool under a different user name. So if you're just starting out...do not use Office automation in a server environment unless you're willing to deal with these issues. Try Aspose as suggested instead.

  4. Definitely a Chemistry Set on Science Gifts For Kids? · · Score: 1

    You can still get a reasonable chemistry set on e-bay. Any new ones don't have much more than litmus paper, baking powder, and other non-toxic stuff. You can find cooler stuff just digging around under the kitchen sink!

  5. Re:They don't care on What a Hacked PC Can Be Used For · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Most people only want help in one situation- when they have a virus checker that interferes with their computer working properly.

    There, fixed it for you. Most virus checkers are worse than the viruses they protect you from.

  6. Libraries? on South Carolina Seeking To Outlaw Profanity · · Score: 1

    I guess they'll have to clear most of the books out of their libraries too. South Carolina has those, right?
