  1. Sounds risky...but on Online Storage With a Twist · · Score: 0

    Obviously if they are storing files on your HDD than theres a huge security risk. But the algorithm used splits the file into many pieces. If they only store on piece of a file on your HDD and scatter the others among other computers that makes things much more difficult for hackers.

  2. Whats the issue? on Should the Linux Desktop Be "Pure?" · · Score: 0

    Just because something is Open Source doesn't mean its can't be used by those who are not so knowledgeable. You can set up the Linux desktop for someone and they don't even have to know what Open Source means.

  3. Re:Obligatory... on Seagate Announces First 1.5TB Desktop Hard Drive · · Score: 0

    1.5TB... Who will ever need more than that?

    Thats what they said about the first 1GB Hard Drives... never mind 1.5TB... Easy to fill 1.5 TB really.

  4. Re:But were they smart, or stupid? on Sneaky Blackmailing Virus That Encrypts Data · · Score: 0, Redundant

    ... Otherwise, get a Mac. Or Get Linux...
  5. Re:Mandatory? on Nissan Turns to Technology to Stop Drunk Driving · · Score: 1

    A breathalyser seems to make the most sense to me rather than all these other features. If you are over the limit it should not let you drive. Not to say that Nissan's efforts are for naught. Its good that they are making an effort to try and reduce the number of intoxicated drivers on the road.

  6. Where's The Sims on Ocarina of Time — Best Game Ever? · · Score: 1

    The Sims didn't make that top 100 list in spite of being one of the best selling games of all time. Nevertheless Ocarina of Time is a good pick for number 1.

  7. Ha...what else is new on Vista Security Claims Debunked · · Score: 1

    Definitely no surprise here. Stupid Mircrosuck.

  8. Oh my... on New Sony DVDs Not Working In Some Players · · Score: 1

    "Sony says its up to the manufacturers to update their hardware". That is absolute BS. Sony has really been going downhill and this is not helping.
