As for texting, over HALF of the content you distribute without verbal interaction is misinterpreted on a fundamental level. If not the context or meaning, then the tone and direction. Understand that texting is a fad, and eliminating it's use across business channels represents a major step forward in the maturity of the information infrastructure of a business. This is borne out in numerous studies as well as anecdotal observation in individual business intelligence summaries. I base my career on challenging the way communication is conveyed throughout organizations and in industry sectors (manufacturing, analytics, intelligence). I consider THIS sort of banter reproachable. To be more certain of my stance, this is one of two replies I have ever offered in a "user comment" format and in order only to make argument for what I hold as important for modern businesses; that is the adaptation of concise communication standards and elimination of ambiguity and guesswork.
The chances that this is peergaurdian forging exotic sources of port scans in order to scare users into relying on their software VS. The chances that said sources would waste effort scanning a simpleton's home use windows box for vulnerable ports without masking their identity. Now taking bets!
Together with the previous submission "Re: Kids think E-Mail is dead" gives me a distinct impression that Zonk is one of the simpletons himself. Who in this world cares what a child's opinion is re: email ? It is a time tested and infinitely usable communication path, regardless of a silly child's opinion. Might as well submit that most mature, rational thinkers hold that SMS is a fad, which is just as obvious an opinion as the former.
Give me some news that matters! Tell me someone is forging a new SMTP implementation that will stop email and it's spam from becoming any more of a network burden. Please tell me it's happening!
Not the story itself oF course, but the tone of the original post; It was so enciting and so full of anti-corporate exuberance that it deserves nary a mention on this "news" server
You dirty dirty troll. Read this article and it becomes common understanding that you have purposely and indignantly misled many dumbfounded, slow witted readers into your trappings of blatant troll post whoring. Nice job, anyone with a brain can see that this isn't worth a '/.' front page mention. We only wish that the mods were so quick to jump on the case, rather than being engrossed in so much anti-microsoft anti-SCO malarkey from the groklaw bastards. Not saying that these people have anything over microsoft or against FSF, just that the standard of quality for these types of articles is SEVERELY reduced for anything other than a Stallman suckup or a ballmer expose. There, I said it, Bunch of dirty suck-ups, propaganda artists and Fud spreaders you all are!... This article is garbage along with 50% of the post troll bullshit that is spewed on '/.'
