  1. Re:Liquids on planes on Laptop Fires On Airplanes · · Score: 1

    There are law against discrimination by businesses. Businesses can't arbitrarily refuse customers who can pay.

  2. Re:Liquids on planes on Laptop Fires On Airplanes · · Score: 1

    Why can't you just buy a private plane, load it weapons and try blow some shit up? Hell, whey not just buy a military plane and do that, equipment with rockets, nukes and the nine yards. Uhm, that's what the military is for. If your private plane is headed into a building, you can bet it will be shot down, without hundreds of civilian causalities.

  3. You don't talk them into being smart on Impressing Security Upon End-Users Visually? · · Score: 1

    You idiot proof problem user's computers. If you're using Active Directory reduce their privileges, if you're not, give them only limited accounts - only you will have the admin password to their computers (if that isn't already the case) then Install firefox, adblock plus with malware filters and high security settings, and disable IE. If you need IE for certain websites, whitelist those sites, then don't allow any cookies, scripting, or anything else from internet zone in IE. User's can't click stupid executables if they don't have permission to run executable files. If none of that works give them a computer with Linux on it, but only you have the root password; show them how to use thunderbird, firefox, and openoffice, and only other things they need for work.

  4. Re:Yell at them and make them feel like shit. on Impressing Security Upon End-Users Visually? · · Score: 1

    Have you bothered to check anyway? Since your users defiantly won't report anything that goes wrong now. I bet they're doing all kind of stupid shit, then having their neighbor's 13 year old fix it.

  5. Re:Yell at them and make them feel like shit. on Impressing Security Upon End-Users Visually? · · Score: 1

    Because then they won't report problems and you'll have a bunch of infected computers leaking data you don't know about, or worse they won't tell you about things that aren't operator error and you won't know when something major isn't working.

  6. Only send CDs to people with dial up on Canonical Halts Ubuntu CD Free-for-all · · Score: 1

    If they ran a quick speed test before sending you the CD, to see if you were on dial up, then sent you a free CD if you're using a dial up internet connection, but not if you have high speed internet. Assuming your IP is somewhere around where you're asking them to send the CD, if you're on dial up, they'll send you a free CD. If you're not on dial up, you pay for the shipping and the media. Hell, maybe they could even use a map of what kind of internet is available where, and if you're address is somewhere high speed internet isn't available, they'll still send you a free CD. They have your address, so you can only fake so much.

  7. Re:China proably doesn't care. on Ultrasurf Easily Blocked, But So What? · · Score: 1

    The US population remains both connected to the internet, yet blissfully ignorant of any and all controversial politics in their country.

    Stupid User Syndrome. Or is that Stupid Human Syndrome? Or apathy? I don't know, but too many people buy everything they're fed by a certain propaganda station. If we have internet access, yet remain blissfully ignorant, how can we expect the Chinese to do any better?

  8. Considering how Murdoch pissed on the government on Hulu May Begin Charging For Content Next Year · · Score: 1

    Considering how Murdoch pissed on the government, I doubt he'll get any kind of bail out. You don't call the president every name in the book on national TV and expect a government bail out. If Bush was in office you'd be right, as well all know Murdoch and Bush were best friends.

  9. Best news I've heard in a while on Murdoch Says, "We'll Charge For All Our Sites" · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I would pay never to see his shit again. Pay to read Murdoch's pathetic excuse for news? What a hoot. Please, please, make fox's site pay only. Save the rest of us from their nonsense.

  10. It requires an iframe, so noscript will help you on Sniffing Browser History Without Javascript · · Score: 1

    since noscript blocks iframes, if you configure it properly.

  11. Re:Am I missing something? on Microsoft's Free AV App May Be a Non-Starter · · Score: 1

    The software is better. The detection rate is better, it uses less system resources, and it has a better interface.

    Nod32 is nice.

  13. Re:Am I missing something? on Microsoft's Free AV App May Be a Non-Starter · · Score: 1

    Sucky real time protection, awful detection rate.

    Avira Personal, AVG Free, and Advast. are all way better and also free.

  14. Re:Am I missing something? on Microsoft's Free AV App May Be a Non-Starter · · Score: 1

    Premium version is so worth it. Avira is an amazing AV.

    "Having it with you" isn't the issue. Holding it to her head is.

  17. Re:This just in.... on Using Net Proxies Will Lead To Harsher Sentences · · Score: 1

    If you shoot something or someone, you have 0 right to anonymity, whether it's a person or a street sign. Illegal downloading isn't murder, but doing something with the intent to commit murder, or to hide committing murder, should be illegal.

  18. Re:sure it is on College Police Think Using Linux Is Suspicious Behavior · · Score: 1

    Lol. Stockpiling weapons while talking about assassinating the president is suspicious? I didn't know that (eyesroll). Your freedoms are violated! Go hide in your (mom's) basement, and post more asshole comments on UTube, 4chan and Slashdot. Soon the government will take your computer for running Linux! OMG! Run!

    Fuck skinheads and KKK terrorists. They are just a nasty variation on your garden variety asshole. Since humans are social they don't want to hate everyone, so they pick certain people they don't hate, and are violent assholes to everyone else. Law enforcement really aught to go after those motherfuckers.

  19. Re:Trying to see the reason for this on Mozilla Mulls Dropping Firefox For Win2K, Early XP · · Score: 1

    That logic applies perfectly to Win 2000, but it doesn't apply to XP SP2.

  20. Re:post SP2? Computer Abstinence! on Vista Post-SP2 Is the Safest OS On the Planet · · Score: 1

    Computer abstinence. No network stack, no USB driver, no floppy drive. It's the only way to keep Micro$oft OS safe. Only trusted files from your Linux partition can run on Windows.

    Glad to know you think most people shouldn't use Apples, because Apples would be a waste of money for most people.

  22. Re:My 2 year old X61 Thinkpad is lighter, faster, on Dell Adamo Review — Macho Outside, Sissy Inside · · Score: 1

    3 pounds, and yes, 12.1" screen. But who in their right mind would sacrifice proccesser speed and pay $1000 more for one inch of screen size?

  23. Re:People just don't understand Linux on Linux On Netbooks — a Complicated Story · · Score: 1

    Not everybody uses netbooks as a secondary computer. Some people will use netbooks as their primary computer, especially students, who don't need much out of a computer, but defiantly need one. If you're replacing a 5+ year old computer, a netbook would be a step up.

  24. My 2 year old X61 Thinkpad is lighter, faster, on Dell Adamo Review — Macho Outside, Sissy Inside · · Score: 2, Interesting

    and cheaper. 1.2Ghz dual core processor? Wtf? My 2 year old 3lb thinkpad has a 1.8Ghz dual core processor, and I bought it new for half what an Adamo costs 2 years ago. If an Adamo was a cheaper alternative to a thinkpad I could understand, but it's more expensive too! Why would anyone in their right mind buy a Adamo instead of thinkpad?
