  1. economics 101? on People Think Smart Home Tech is Too Expensive (usatoday.com) · · Score: 2

    Welcome to economics. The devices have security vulnerabilities and are expensive for what you get in return.

  2. Re:Oracle employees, show yourself on Oracle Will Officially Appeal Its 'Fair Use' Loss Against Google (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

  3. Carrier Command on DARPA Hydra: An Unmanned Sub Mothership to Deploy Drones · · Score: 1

    no, it just means it will be in colour.

  5. Re:Now can we all please just shut up about it? on Vista SP1 Released to Manufacturing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This IS why people did not get XP before sp1. The product wasn't good enough at the time. MS is kind of admitting that Vista isn't what they hope, because MS where discussing Windows 7 (or what every they will call it) so early after the Vista release. Vista still seems like a Windows ME to a lot of people. May be future service packs will reverse the view? However all this back tracking on MS's part leaves them open to the competition.

  6. Re:As long as the need for a secure network exists on LAN Turns 30, May Not See 40? · · Score: 1

    Agreed, a LAN provides security and segregation from the wider networks (e.g. the Internet, other parts of the same company) where you control the points. Direct connect to wire-less or the Internet is probably not the best move. A company may comprise of many LANS, which is quite useful for controlling virus outbreaks, and mis-configured equipment.

  7. Re:Any Babelfish in the house? on Cyberwarfare in International Law · · Score: 1

    They want to make Cyber warfare illegal thus having a legal recourse for those who use it.

  8. Motion Pciture Lobbying on Privacy Commissioner Criticizes Canadian DMCA · · Score: 1

    I can under stand why the DMCA got passed in the US, due to Motion picture/Record Company lobbying. But in Canada? Does the Motion picture/Record company have that much power in Canada, so this sort of thing is even considered for law. Good for Jennifer Stoddart, to be pointing out the major issues to the Government, will they listen?

  9. The IT cycle? on The World Wide Computer, Monopolies and Control · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Isn't this just the IT cycle, everything gets centralized, short term costs are saved. 10 years later decentralized, and long term costs are saved Vs short term.

  10. This will be on New Dell Laptops Give Users a Literal Shock · · Score: 0, Redundant

    excellent for the cooperate business scene, nothing keeps employees awake like an electric shock.

  11. fast boot? on Startup Offers Instant-Boot Windows Alternative · · Score: 1

    Of course you're going to get a fast boot in a less complex operating system. Just try installing Windows 98 on current hardware and watch that boot, it's fast too. The less you load the faster it will be.
