  1. Re:Survey says.... on Windows 7 To Come In Multiple Versions · · Score: 1

    Actually, I've had the pipes screen saver crash on me. Of course it was back in windows 98 days, but do you honestly think MS has bothered to update a screen saver? I highly doubt it.

    Windows has only 1 stable feature. The same feature that its had since windows 3.1 days, and every windows user has had experience with it (Even when I was beta testing win7).

    It's called the "Blue Screen of Death"

  2. Re:Yahoo! Mail on Email-only Providers? · · Score: 1

    GoDaddy.... *shudder* no.. just.. no. I was drawn in by their low prices (and my lack of knowledge, or willingness to do any research) years ago when I first started hosting my own domains. after 6 months, I knew it was a mistake. after a year, when I tried to move, I was given ample proof that I was right. honestly, stay away, and save yourself a lot of time, effort, and probably money.

  3. If you've got the knowledge for it on Email-only Providers? · · Score: 1

    vpslink will give you a full linux environment of your choice to set up as a mail server (or whatever else your little heart desires) and at $7/mo. You can't beat the value if you want any sort of flexibility/control over your mail.

    if you DON'T have the skill/desire to run your own, fastmail.fm, lunarpages.com, or any of a host of others are available. But really, go with google apps. Its simple, it works, its reliable, lots of storage, etc etc.

    Unless you're a google hater, then you can pay someone else for what google gives you for free.

  4. The Blame Game on AntiVirus Products Fail to Find Simple IE Malware · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm honestly not sure who I hold accountable for this. IE for arbitrarily saying that <script> is the same as <sc0x00ript>, or Anti-virus/malware/junk/whatever programs for not REALIZING that IE is going to treat it that way, thus they damn well better check that way.

    If you're going to claim to detect stuff, know the system you're supposedly working with, and WORK. and if something doesn't look like the code you expect, DON'T EXECUTE IT. but no. Microsoft knows best. Shiny graphics and easy of use comes first. Security... well.. we're all still waiting on that**

    **except for those of us who are smart enough to be keeping the HELL away from Microsoft as much as humanly possible anyway.
