  1. Re:Okaaaaaaaaayy... on IE8 Beta Released To Public · · Score: 1

    Perhaps non-techie people really have this as a concern.
    Obviously, this could be used for other purposes.
    Really, though, blocking cookies would make online shopping difficult.
    Not many online stores use sessions instead of cookies for things like a cart.

  2. Re:Running multiple versions of IE on IE8 Beta Released To Public · · Score: 1

    Damn, beat me to it. The downside is that IE6's developer toolbar won't work with this. So you may still need a VM for IE 6 if you use that.

  3. Re:What slashdot effect? on KDE 4.1 Released, Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Whoosh.

    Overused meme, but nothing else truly conveys what just happened here.

  4. Re:Read the Article - He wasn't fired. on Disgruntled Engineer Hijacks San Francisco's Computer System · · Score: 1

    Plus, when I was an Assistant Manager for a small movie theater that was owned by a larger corporation, we regularly received emails with hiring and firing guidelines. One of the things that was regularly mentioned, was that in California, businesses need to give employees 2-weeks notice when firing. Now, there are probably exceptions that weren't mentioned, and this was for a municipality, not a commercial entity, but if true that would mean the guy had 2 weeks to wreak all kinds of havoc on the network before being shown the door.

  5. Ooh, HD movies from an SD card. on Computer Optional For AOC's New HD Display · · Score: 3, Insightful

    TFA doesn't mention network streaming or what USB HD file systems it will support, or even if it supports USB storage other than flash drives. So, based on description available, users will need to copy a few of their media files to an SD card or flash drive (using the computer that is not necessary), and plug it into the back. Fantastic. This is definitely worth the extra space and the 200 dollar markup over regular 22 inch monitors.
