    Since it doens't use anyhting but transparency effects, you wouldn't be too impressed with the end result. All you'd see is some lines and opaque boxes. My first reaction to looking at the mpeg was "yeah, so?". It doesn't look too original, and certainly isn't very interesting. I guess I just don't get it, but it doesn't seem to serve any real purpose.

  4. Re:IM on windows networks? on The Business of Instant Messaging · · Score: 1, Interesting

    In windows XP, your messenger is always on from the getgo, and it's automatically integrated into outlook express. You can even, if you're so inclined, set AOL IM to be your default messenger and see your AIM buddies in outlook express.

    At work we use the MSN messenger for its ease of use with exchange server, and use it for in house messenging only. It's handy to be able to talk to people in the office without being hassled by your friends and relatives signed on to the regular service. In windows NT you can even set permissions so that users can't change their account settings (letting them sign onto the .net service). As a tech support manager I can say it definitely increases productivity, and even lessens the frustration of having to wait for a reply email, etc.

  5. Re:Moral obligation? on Symantec Claims They Knew About Slammer In Advance · · Score: 0

    "Their service is to detect and prevent network attacks."

    Ha, that's a good one. Are you saying that they care about their customers?

    To go along with your little analogy, they're probably saying Ford has an obligation to tell you that yours will blow up next time you start it. Not that they should give you one even though you haven't paid for it.

    Besides, if you're not under the impression that it's important to look for updates (the sql update that came out months ago), then maybe your company should hire someone else to look after their interests.

  10. Doing the right thing. on Clemson University Bans Free Long Distance Sites · · Score: 1

    I personally don't think that Clemson is doing the right thing in blocking toll free calling sites. On the other hand, it is perfectly legal for them to do so. As the student said, they don't allow mp3's on the network either. Can you blame them? By blocking this one file format, they have eliminated a world of lawsuits and court dates. It might look bad now, but in the long run it is a wise decision for the Administration to make. If Winthrop decided to block Slashdot from it's services, there would be a lot of pissed off compsci's running around here, but at the same time the University would be within it's legal limits. Really it all comes down to aesthetics. Whatever makes the school look good counts best. Student opinions don't usually have that much weight when it comes to Admin decisions, and I don't expect that to change anytime soon. And right now Clemson thinks that free calling sites are hampering it's income, and that lowers numbers for the year. As long as those numbers aren't up to par, you can rest assured they will do whatever is in their power to change that. I think I'm done ranting now, but I think Admin should start doing something more productive than covering their own asses.
