  1. one login per account at a time on File Storage And Piracy Issues? · · Score: 1

    this will make it less tempting as a warez distribution site.
    Allow linking of like 3 accounts for file sharing but only
    one login per account at a time.
    and like the post says above put
    disclaimers all over the place to cya.
    If someone wants more linked accounts charge a one time fee
    for setting it up
    just enuff to cover expences of setting it up say $15

  2. security on Thoughts On Application Service Providing? · · Score: 1

    My biggest problem is security of the asp model.
    Is it goint to be encrypted to atleast 1024 bits
    at all times? if not forget it. The 128 bit encryption is ok for small transactions
    but for large amounts of data forget it.
    Remember the bigger the sample the weaker the protection at any given level. Can they provide a higher level of reliability than i can?
    My novel sco and linux boxes have multi year uptimes in allot of cases even nt can be reliable as long as its rebooted in the off hours once in a while.

    nasty nasty nasty this is exackly what im talking about
    Atleast I had the guts to put my nick on my post
    and im sorry if the only advantage linux
    has going for it is the gpl then it deserves to fail
    No i dont think the only advantages to linux are the gpl or I wouldnt use it
    Linux is one heck of a server os and i use it for that
    but as a desktop os it isnt ready yet
    and being an ungratefull snot
    nosed name calling pup like you
    when someone offers us something isnt going to help that at all
    Again I would like to thank all of the peaple that put thier time energy and skill into making
    linux/*bsd/qt/kde/gnu suck less:}

  5. He should win on Nike Gets Sued Over Nike.com Hijack · · Score: 1

    He was damaged bandwidth and manpower is not free.
    NSI may hold some blame in this but if
    they do its up to Nike to sue them
    to recover any money spent recovering
    from this.
    I for one am sick of big companies making
    noise about security and not really doing
    anything about it. Remember all those
    credit card numbers that were stolen?
    The owners of those cards and the credit
    card companies should sue the online stores
    for every penny spent recovering from it!
    In the real world you are resonsible if you
    damage someones property or cost
    them money to repair stuff you damage.
    Why should the net be any different???

  6. security on E-Commerce Tools For Students, What's Required? · · Score: 1

    teach security first last and always
    everything from ssl to storing the data encyrpted
    on a secure server with a tight firewall
    for example it will allow only connections in
    from one machine in one format on the proper port
    all other traffic is blocked and logged
    and the secure machine must be on a non routable
    switched network with the transaction server
    also need a file checking settup for your
    transaction server and remote logging
    Id do it this way firewall---transaction machine(s)---firewall---database machine

  10. it is a "good thing" on Postscript: Who Owns The Hellmouth Posts? · · Score: 1

    I feel strongly that the word needs
    to get out that geeks are humans too
    and that geek kids are being abused.
    I read the series and saw allot of
    what I went thru in the stories.
    It is sad that this kind of garbage goes
    on and that the system supports it.
    It is time for a change in the way
    things are done.

    I just want to say keep up the good work
    and chin up for every person screaming
    here there are hundreds that support
    this book being made...

  11. interesting question on Does A Software License Cover Patches? · · Score: 1

    the patched code once applied to
    the gpl app would have to be under the gpl.
    but the app doing the patch wouldnt
    likely have to be.

    If i patch the origianl gpl code and distribute
    binaries i would be required to distribute
    the patched code but could keep
    the patch itself to myself.

    This could get really wierd...
    lets say i patch a gpled app and distibute
    binaries anyone that has the binaries
    has a right to the source code as i compiled
    it and has all the gpled rights and
    responcibilities that go with it.

    but i could keep the patch to myself or release
    the patch under a different licence but once
    its part of a gpled work its gpled.

    lets say that my patch is actualy a
    program in
    itself it can either be ran as a seperate app
    or as a patch to a gpl app.
    I can release it stand alone under whatever
    licence i want but the patch code put into a
    gpled app is gpled.
    So it seems i would have to duel licence it gpl and
    other to allow it to be used to patch gpl code.

    note: this might be totaly wrong but
    from looking into licence issues this
    is the conclusion I came too
    and might get my butt
    sued off if i tried it.

  13. rofl on Brunching Shuttlecocks' Findings on Microsoft Case · · Score: 1

    Most harmful of all is the message that Microsoft's cows have conveyed to every bull with the potential to eat in the mouse industry. Through its conduct toward Netscape, microsoft, Compaq, netcrash, and others, Microsoft has demonstrated that it will use its prodigious market power and immense cows to harm any firm that insists on pursuing initiatives that could
    intensify competition against one of
    Microsoft's new products. Microsoft's past
    success in hurting such beans and stifling
    innovation deters investment in technologies
    and bulls that exhibit the potential to buy
    Microsoft. The ultimate result is that
    some innovations that would truly sell
    consumers never occur for the sole reason
    that they do not kill with Microsoft's software.
