  1. That depends on who its for on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Block Web Content? · · Score: 1

    1. If your a business: Institute a policy, simply fire those that violate it, its much cheaper than a router, log things peek every now and then. 2. If your a parent: use parenting? keep an eye on internet usage, disallow internet after hours. or you know be an american find a piece of software to help raise your kids, blame government, education systems, and any thing else for why your kids turn out to be fat lazy unemployed pieces of shit.

  2. Re:Back in High School on MIT's 'Artificial Leaf' Makes Fuel From Sunlight · · Score: 1

    Batteries are filled with toxic chemicals and the manufacturing process is even worse. disposal is expensive and dangerous, and often neglected so all that tasty toxicity gets dumped in a land fill.

  3. Re:Sure on Outlining a World Where Software Makers Are Liable For Flaws · · Score: 3, Insightful

    and software development grinds to a halt. opensource vanishes who's going to donate time to a liability.

  7. GIve us our "other OS" option back on Ask Slashdot: How Should Sony Compensate PSN Users? · · Score: 1

    would be a good start

  8. Your getting off easy on Ask Slashdot: Do I Give IT a Login On Our Dept. Server? · · Score: 1

    YOU should not be placing a non company owned system in there network, the fact that they only want a login is letting you off easy. if it was my network i'd be turning the uplink to your network off until corporate security is able to go ensure the machine is removed. if its just for schedules and benign information thats not medical info HOST IT EXTERNALLY as a network admin its incredibly irritating when people think bringing there crap from home and plugging it in is an acceptable idea, its not, working in medical i assume the information stored throughout the network is sensitive. and the IT people are the one who are responsible for ensuring it stays safe, allowing your crap on the network introduces an unknown which they would have to be responsible "I'm happy to allow any scan, to ensure it has no security issues," there is no rudimentary scan that they can do to ensure there is nothing malicious hidden on the machine, its a tedious audit like process that no IT staff wants to do, they have approved software/images etc for a reason, so they don't have to spend hundreds of man hours inspecting every good idea an employee implemented.

  9. nothing supports flac on Why We Should Buy Music In FLAC · · Score: 0

    because few if any portable players or embedded devices support flac why would the retailers bother to spend the storage/cpu requirements to convert all there content to a format no one uses or supports?

  10. Re:OK, I'll bite. on 1928 Time Traveler Caught On Film? · · Score: 1

    So the idea of a cell phone being able to call the future is less ridiculous than the fact that there is a time traveller there in the first place?

  11. Poor actors on 1928 Time Traveler Caught On Film? · · Score: 1

    bad actors never know what to do with there hands

  14. Wouldn't a better test be something like... on Largest Simulated Cyber Attack To Date · · Score: 1

    Taking a dev or similar production network and actually hiring the same people that would likely be used to attack your equipment to attack your honey pot and see what they actually do? I dunno i'm probably just being ignorant

  15. And the world becomes productive once again on Facebook Is Down · · Score: 1

    You mean people will actually spend there day at work... working? awesome

  16. Re:People think its ok to use facebook at work? on Facebook the Most Dangerous Social Tool For Businesses · · Score: 1

    yes some people do have a valid use for facebook, those people aren't just dicking around they're actually working and the nice things about firewalls is they have rules, and exceptions \o/

  17. Re:People think its ok to use facebook at work? on Facebook the Most Dangerous Social Tool For Businesses · · Score: 1

    idiotic? Is it not the simplest solution, also one that will make your employees work rather than dick around on each others walls all day? Companies need to stop blaming these 3rd party sites as security breaches and start blaming the people who are in charge of securing there network and work stations. Facebook is a SOCIAL media tool employees in most businesses should have no reason to use it during work hours or on work owned computers.

  18. People think its ok to use facebook at work? on Facebook the Most Dangerous Social Tool For Businesses · · Score: 4, Informative

    Companies should simply block social networking sites or have policies against there use. In my office the average user spends 135% of there work hours logged into facebook 135%?! most of them leave it logged in when they go home

  23. How often do you guys get attacked? on Top Secret America · · Score: 1

    the article implies that you have done well to mitigate terrorist attacks before they happen since 9/11... which begs the question, how often did you get attaked before 9/11? i don't remember hearing much about you guys being under constant attack by terrorists? is it just me or did the americans create a problem where no problem existed? Is it also not likely that your security hasn't actually prevented anything, but rather no one has chosen to attack you? Seems to me that your (disgusting) country is just fear mongering and pissing away billions if not trillions in the process

  24. BeOS on Apple, RIM, Google All Bid On Palm · · Score: 3, Funny

    They all just wanted to release a new BeOS!!! seriously what else would you want with palm ?

  25. Oracle thanks for giving us all an enemy again on OpenSolaris Governing Board Closing Shop? · · Score: 1

    This is just sick. Oracle buying sun imo was the darkest day in recent IT history. I seriously hope oracle suffers some major financial losses because of the animosity there tactics with our beloved sun have created.
