    The same feature exists in XP too - it's simply in the folder preferences of HIDE file extensions of known file types - I fail to see how this is new. Again just another over-exaggerated "problem" with Windows 7.

    they have actually turned off the register_globals feature (really this time it won't work). If you try to use it you get an error message that says RTFM (ERROR: ID-10-T)

  9. Re:Non-story? on Virginia Health Database Held For Ransom · · Score: 1

    an EMR (electronic Medical Record) isn't a bad thing it's just that the people who would create it would instantly put it up on some god forsaken website so people can hack into it and hold it for ransom. Imagine you needed urgent care but found out that your record was being held ransom because some idiot used the password SEXYGOD

    "SUNY maintains logs that match IP addresses to MAC layer addresses. It is well known that these MAC addresses can be spoofed on virtually all network adapters (Hint to infringers: override the default address assignment on your Ethernet or Wireless card, then switch it back when somebody accuses you.)

    Wouldn't this be cause for an escalation in charges - Changing your computers configuration once charges have been laid? IMHO that would be parallel to ripping the passenger seat out of your car then running your car through a carwash with all the windows down to rid it of forensic evidence.

    Comfortable and expecting to make a full recovery --- As comfortable as a dying man can be I'm sure. Makes me wonder why he'd even want to recover. What amazes me most is his strong will to live - going from being a graduate student with a prognoses of months to live to living years and beating major odds.
