  1. I work at a Medical Software Company on Do You Like Online Privacy? You May Be a Terrorist · · Score: 1

    I have my hard drive on my laptop encrypted and use a VPN for work all the time. I must be a terrorist. Or maybe I need these because I deal if I am troubleshooting an issue at a customer it is possible for me to have patient data on my computer. As well I have tons of company data on the laptop, including programs internal to the company. This just goes to show how poorly educated our government is on Information Technology.

  2. 1st Ammendment anyone? on Police Investigate Offensive Wi-Fi Network Name · · Score: 2

    Doesn't this fall under the first amendment, you know that one that talks about Freedom of Speech and those other rights that are getting taken away slowly. I mean the KKK does this all the time in their rallies and it is filled under freedom of speech, I am not approving the message in anyway, but I think that this is just another example where the Constitution is being ignored.

  3. Seen it happen with iPods on Paypal Orders Buyer of Violin To Destroy It For a Refund · · Score: 1

    My Parents bought some ipods off of Ebay, I knew by looking at them they were fake and they also didn't work. My dad went through PayPal so they reimbursed him, but they did have him destroy the fake iPods and in the process. With something like this, I think it is viable to to know counterfeit and real, but with something like an antique, I would have said just return it or at least have it sent to an expert.

  4. Novell is Dying on Bill Gates Takes the Stand In WordPerfect Trial · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I think Novell is just grasping for straws. They are a dying company and have been fading out for quite sometime. I work at a large software company and out of all our customers only 2 use Novell and both plan to migrate off of it in the next few years because of compatibility issues with API calls and lack of support. Microsoft nor any company is required to make their system compatible with your software, that is your job as a software developer.

  5. If Siri has such an advantage over Google? on Siri Gives Apple Two Year Advantage Over Android · · Score: 1

    Why does Siri point to Google when it doesn't know the answer to a question? Theoretically, if Google were to buy SpeaktoIt and integrate it with their software, they would trump Siri in no time, Siri is relatively new at searching and also uses Google. Google could play dirty and say don't point to our site through your software. Google could also integrate their Software with the years of data they have from their search engine.

  6. Re:The lawsuits are ridiculous but... on Jobs Wanted To Destroy Android · · Score: 1

    That is comparing phones from years apart. That is like comparing a a laptop from 2005 and one from 2010. And saying that the one from 2010 looks more like others from 2010 thus they copied the design.

  7. Employment Papers on Actress Sues IMDb For Revealing Her Age · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't she have to fill out her actual age on her I-9 and employment papers to begin with? I mean for her to legally get paid for acting she has to give her real age.

    If you are inferring Google is a school yard bully they have not instigated the lawsuits that has been all Apple and Microsoft.

  10. Re:Release the Kraken! on Via Files Suit Against Apple · · Score: 1

    You realize not a single one of the companies is Chinese right? Samsung is South Korean, HTC and Via are both Taiwanese and Motorola and Google are American. Before you post at least make sure what you are posting is legitimate. You really think that Apple is going to win big against Motorola who has been in the Mobile Phone Market about as long as Apple has been around and holds more patents on mobile communication that everyone. Apple is losing their case against Samsung. I don't think you are really paying attention to the Google vs Oracle case either since they are currently trying to work out a settlement and Google is talking about removing J2SE/J2ME code leaving a naked interface so developers can add their own since Samsung and Motorola already have J2SE/J2ME licenses. In which case Google, would only need to pay the settlement from the past damages.

  12. Re:Netgear WNDR-3700 on Ask Slashdot: Good Gigabit 802.11N Home Router? · · Score: 1

    I use a 3800 in my house, I haven't had any issues with it at all and I use it for gaming quite a bit.

  13. If this was emailed I failed to get it on New Sony PSN ToS: Class Action Waiver Included · · Score: 1

    I think there was a software update a few days ago when I played Madden for the first time, I didn't read the it as usual. Whatever I have my individual suit I can use after the class action suit wins.

  14. Re:as an alternative on Windows Server 8 Is A Radical Departure From Previous Releases · · Score: 1

    Why it is is because large scale management for Microsoft servers are not that there for some tasks. I said Microsoft servers are good for certain tasks not all tasks. And the virtual servers we have are all running on VMware ESX, not Microsoft. There is some test servers set up using HyperV, but they aren't used for anything other than testing. On the security end, many critical issues with Mac OS take longer to be fixed than that of Linux or Microsoft with Linux probably being the fastest. Example being with the certs from about two weeks ago, Linux and Microsoft removed them nearly a full week before Apple. The Certs issue was unique because you could remove them yourself, but I expect faster response on such an issue. If you wanted to use a server that you would typically use Windows for a Citrix XenApp Server, it would not be possible nor would it be possible for the clients. Yes, Citrix has a client for Mac, BUT no USB support our company uses PnP devices. Could you uses a Mac Server as a file server without an issues, probably, but why diversify my data center more than needed?

  16. Re:Not tring to be flamebait but.. on Windows Server 8 Is A Radical Departure From Previous Releases · · Score: 2

    Because Mac's are not built with the Administrators in mind, nor the business market. Microsoft has more viruses, that could be because of Mac's obscurity or it could be because Microsoft is easily to write viruses for we may never know nor will I debate you on that. But Mac's have more security holes in them than Windows. I am not talking about viruses, I am talking holes and exploits which is what Pwn2Own is all about and why Mac's lose every year. Also Windows are easier to manage and deploy because Microsoft developed the tools for Windows such as WDS. Mac's are good on the personal user level, but not on the enterprise level. Plus the price would be tool high for any company to want to touch especially when you can just run little thin clients for Windows if the user is not doing anything that needs heavy processing power.

    What testing is needed to take down compromised certs?

  18. Re:Radical departure... on Windows Server 8 Is A Radical Departure From Previous Releases · · Score: 1

    Servers are not supposed to be user friendly with a nice interface they are supposed to be workhorses. Adding more tasks into Powershell so you can script them is the right thing to do.

  19. Re:three year delay in copying Apple on Windows Server 8 Is A Radical Departure From Previous Releases · · Score: 1

    Windows has had a version of server called Server Core, where it boots into the command line only to save resources and minimize attack space. Quit being an ignorant fan boy and do some research.

  20. Re:three year delay in copying Apple on Windows Server 8 Is A Radical Departure From Previous Releases · · Score: 1

    Apple server is horrible on the enterprise level, anyone who works in a data center will tell you that. The security and the features just are not there. Linux and Windows Servers are best suited for enterprise needs. Windows Server has had a a light weight version which boots into command line text called Server Core. I realize you are an Apple fan-boy and probably and probably never touched a server, but do some research before you post.

  21. Re:as an alternative on Windows Server 8 Is A Radical Departure From Previous Releases · · Score: 0

    Use a Mac with no security at all and you can have your server hacked into in a heartbeat. Also Apple is no where near Microsoft in terms of virtualization, not saying Microsoft is best at it VMware would probably take the cake there especially with their integration with the Cisco UCS blades. Microsoft servers are great for certain business needs with different tastes of Linux for others, but I would never ever want a Mac server in my Data Center.
