  1. Re:GREAT SCOTT!!! on NASA's Plutonium Supply Dwindling; ESA To Help · · Score: 1

    LOL, Ministers! In America we call them Czars.

  2. Re:Simpler solution... on Computer Competency Test For Non-IT Hires? · · Score: 1

    You're probably the customer who has his streaming music playing in the background when he's calling support to ask, "Is there anything wrong with the system? It seems really slow." Quite frankly, and I'm speaking on behalf of just about all IT people, we don't care what you do with the internet connection so long as what you are doing with it does not interfere with everyone's jobs. As soon as someone uses the IT department as an excuse for why they didn't get whatever accomplished, the network gets locked down.

  3. Re:Try to give them help and this is what they get on Radio Hams Fired Upon In Haiti · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well, I know the difference between "your" and "you're", use proper punctuation and grammar, and try to avoid using offensive language except ironically or for emphasis

    What looks more ignorant? A compound sentence or a common (but annoying) typographical error?

  4. The point of full system encryption... on Bootkit Bypasses TrueCrypt Encryption · · Score: 1

    Isn't full system encryption designed to prove its worth once physical control has been gained by the bad guys? If truecrypt doesn't protect the contents of a hard drive that has been stolen it is completely useless. Never trust a product when its creators are anonymous.

  5. My favorite... on The Hard Drive Is Inside the Computer · · Score: 1

    My favorite is when they call it 'their brain.'
