  1. Makes sense to me on DNS Server Survey Reveals Mixed Security Picture · · Score: 1

    Configuring BIND is no cakewalk, it is a challenging task and it is thus no surprise to me that many BIND servers are misconfigured and open to exploitation. IMO the first step to decreasing the number of exploitable DNS servers is to make the configuration of BIND more straightforward and easy to comprehend.

  2. Why? on Comparing Memory Usage of Firefox 2 vs 3 · · Score: 1

    Why are we worrying about ram usage when we have multiple gigs of ram these days?

  3. Try eBay on Best Home Network NAS · · Score: 1
  4. Plasma similar to Mac OS X GUI? on KDE 4.0 RC 1 Released · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or is Plasma quite similar to the Mac OS X interface? Gotta be careful with these things, as much as I enjoy having all this eye candy I'd hate to see the Linux community fall to the wrath of the Apple legal department.

  5. Good on 6 Major Pre-Production Electric Vehicles Compared · · Score: 1

    With today's soaring gas prices and oil decreasing in availability we need to find and use alternative sources of energy. As such we need to create hybrid cars that have the same attractive look and operation as normal gas powered cars, for a while this did not seem like it would happen however that is now changing and that is great. The more seamless the transition to alternative sources of energy the better and quicker it'll likely happen.

  6. Seriously? on Why Do Games Still Have Levels? · · Score: 1

    Games without levels have their place, namely RPGs where the landscape is continuous and the objectives are practically infinite. But is this really practical in anything else? I myself can't imagine playing a shoot 'em up game that has no levels and just goes on for ever. I just don't see a continuous landscape fitting in with much other then RPG games.... But perhaps that's because there haven't been many (any?) games besides RPG's with continuous landscapes, should some good non RPG games come out with continuous landscapes perhaps my view will change (it's a new idea deal, can't imagine it until it is actually applied and seen to be practical).

  7. Amazing on Amazon's Kindle Sells Out In 5.5 Hours · · Score: 1

    I for sure wouldn't spend that kind of money on an ebook reader, amazing what people are willing to spend money on these days with gas prices continuing to hike up. I'd much prefer the ability to buy pdf versions of books myself...
