    Obviously he didn't get a peek.

  7. Third party application. on Vista Hackers Get Busy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Windows Mail identifies and stops all ten threats on its list,
    Stratio-Zip, Netsky-D, and MyDoom-O are able to bypass security when a third-party email client is used.

    Good proof that Vista is insecure.

  14. Electronic voting problems in US & Canada on Quebec Bans Electronic Voting · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I am suprised at the amount of electronic voting problems in US & Canada that I read about on Slashdot.
    A big democracy like India successfully used electronic voting in the last election.

    Indian voting systems using basic $200 machine while US machines are $3000 systems loaded with millions of lines of code.
    380 million Indians cast their votes on more than 1 million machines and the election, the largest electronic voting in the world.

    The lesson here is to simply the system. Don't make the system overtly complicated. The more complicated the system, the more bugs it will have and more difficult solutions to the problems.

  17. Using Vista RC1 on IE7 Vulnerability Discovered · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The Secunia test says I am not vulnerable with Vista RC1

    Vista RC1 was released almost a month ago.
    So I am surprised this new XP IE7 build still exibits this issue.

    Looking at the source, I suspect this is not a IE issue at all, instead this is a MSXML issue.
    Vista has anewer version of MSXML.
    XP IE7 seems to be using the older version.

  18. Re:If the author is creating a new domain in Longh on Longhorn Server's "Improved" Security · · Score: 3, Informative

    I should also point out that by default the machine administrator account is disabled.
    So no amount of password-cracking software will let you log-in as admin.

    server then the machine Admin password is the same as domain admin password.

  21. Sheeh! on Microsoft Re-Re-Releases IE Patch · · Score: 1

    There are people who still haven't upgraded to XP SP2 or 2003 SP1 ?

    Microsoft shouldn't waste time patching/supporting these older browser versions.

  22. Requires Java :( on Google Offering Live Traffic Maps via Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    I had too many slowness problems using java on my phone that I had uninstall it.
    A simple html based page would have been much better.

    Will wait and see what Windows Live Local and Yahoo Maps will cookup. Maybe they will have a more workable product.

  23. Re:In related news on Google Lauded for Accessible Search · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Here is a stupid fact:
    Search for 'Search' on the goog lab's accessible search page.
    MSN.com is listed as the first.

    Does that make MSN.com the most accessible compliant search page?
    I know/read that MSN.com has the highest complaince for CSS and HTML compared to the other portal pages.
    But accessible I think not.

  24. Funny you ask this today. on Deploying Windows Updates? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I was slipstreaming post XP SP2 to the Windows SP2 installation.

    There are plenty of references about slipstreaming.
