  3. Re:Memory on Athlon MP Reviewed · · Score: 1

    The benifit of an extra .5 gb (12%) more ram is hardly noticable. It would be less than the difference between 80 mb and 100 mb.

  12. Re:Firewalling & administration on Web Services - More Secure or Less? · · Score: 1

    In agree. I would rather have all my stuff going through a known xml/soap parser, then have some c program listening on a port, ripe for a buffer overrun. Although it is certainly possible to write a safe c networking program, when working with outside vendors/contractors you have to assume the worst.

  13. Re:You didn't buy insurance? on How Not To Ship Computers · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Unfortunatly UPS doesn't honor their insurance. Unless you ship the item in it's original packing, they will not pay for damage.

  15. Re:Missing the point of broadband apparently... on Dump Broadband, Dig Out Your Modem! · · Score: 1

    Try my math: $15 for extra phone line, and free dial-up through an old job. Not much incentive for me to switch. Who wants to go home and use their computer anyway?

  20. Re:Science should not be scared. on Ethics in Scientific Research · · Score: 1

    This is how I feel about the atomic bomb. We didn't create the bomb, we discovered it. The bomb exsisted in nature since the beginning of time. How we use the bomb, if at all, is where our responsibility lays....

  21. Like a knife on Hackers are 'Terrorists' Under Ashcroft's New Act · · Score: 1

  23. take it or leave it on Workplace Privacy Lacking · · Score: 1

    I think that companies should be able to have any privacy policy like. However, the company should be required by law to state their privacy policy completely and accuratly. If you don't agree with it, go somewhere else.
